daniellejonesca Wow! What an incredible work. All of my favorite genres in one...jazz, rnb, easy listening, neo soul. This is very mature. Worth the repeat button 😍 Favorite track: One More Night.

Crazytown 02:05
Verse 1: You're foolish to think he's gon' change An illusion alluding to pain A lover and someone deranged A conclusion undoing your captivity Pre-Chorus: In his asylum, he's always the right one In his asylum, he's always the right one In his asylum, he's always the right one In his asylum, he's always the right one Chorus: Get out of crazytown Find your love, find your love Get out of crazytown Find your love, find your love Who you used to be, before he took your energy Find your love, find your love Get out of crazytown Find you Find you

Verse 1: It was the soul of me that first caught his eye Couldn’t take his glance off my intelligent inside It was my inner he was initially into Now he’s looking in my mirror trying to picture being mine Pre-Chorus: I know it’s me, I’m untouchable Or am I just creating reasons I’m unlovable? Chorus: My body’s melting My body’s stretching I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river (He don’t quiver, no) My body’s melting My body’s stretching I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that he could love I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that he could love I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river Verse 2: Forget about it He says he loves me, I doubt it Affinity for me drowning In a cesspool of my fear Before it’s ruined My demons our undoing I’m trying to bid adieu To all the shame I’ve felt for years Pre-Chorus: I know it’s me, I’m untouchable Or am I just creating reasons I’m unlovable? Chorus: My body’s melting My body’s stretching I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river (He don’t quiver, no) My body’s melting My body’s stretching I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love I’m an ocean when I’d rather be a river that I could love

HeartSlave 04:08
Verse 1 Thanks for breaking the news; you’re breaking my heart I was never one to lose But somehow we ended up broken down On the side of the road, waiting to get towed I was never one to bruise But I’m hurtin’, open Pre-Chorus Bleeding air, bubble burst Should have expected revolving doors of solitude Heaving blood, lover’s thirst Keeps me coming to devolving sores of servitude Chorus I’m my heart’s slave Try to part ways  But I’m one to fall in love Verse 2 Wrist chained to the softness of your bottom lip Thought I’d bottomed out til another cotton kiss You’re such an expert apologist Got me cooking up a stew of lies and serving myself a blues Pre-Chorus Chorus Vamp Free me of this love Free me of this love Free me of this love

Grace 04:46
Verse 1: Dark alleys where they never crept Where garbage was kept That’s where she slept Nobody gave a damn about her They could do without her The sight of her, the scent She always smiled when they passed her by Kept her laughs and cries tucked away inside They never stopped on the avenue Til they found her black and blue From the hatred and the cold Pre-Chorus: What will we do with lowest among us? The ones who've been dealt the coldest deck Will we atone for their vanishing face? Chorus: There but for the grace Go I, go I, go I, go I There but for the grace Go I, go I, go I, go I Verse 2: They tried to bury seeds they’d never know We’d turn into trees, yes we would grow Every breath they took was from our branches We would heal the land it’s impossible to own We always thrived though they knocked us down Tried to stop the sound of a sacred tribe We will forgive but never forget How you played Russian roulette With our stories with our souls Pre-Chorus: What will we do with lowest among us? The ones who’ve been dealt the coldest deck Will we atone for their vanishing face? Chorus: There but for the grace Go I, go I, go I, go I There but for the grace Go I, go I, go I, go I Rap: They say he got no ambition He’s just sick of pretending Them checks every two weeks are no longer fulfilling Makin’ it rain don’t take the pain He’s disengaged from the war for which he pays His tax dollars bomb Syria he reads while eating cereal Looking in the mirror, all that stares back is hysteria Looking for a miracle, never been political Human life ain’t politics so now he’s on a mission If he quits his job how will he pay his mama’s rent They’re already gentrifying, he’s vying for every cent Wanna be a global citizen, locally they’re killin him Consciousness don’t liberate in the way he envisioned  How can he continue to contribute to the genocide? Questioning the systematic imprisonment of his mind Every week he’s compromising, 40 hours of his life is Spent enriching men who don’t care if he’s living or he’s dying Chorus: Go I, go I, go I, go I There but for the grace Go I, go I, go I, go I

Verse: I only think of you when my body is hot The night is cold That’s when that old love crosses my mind Only dream of you when my waking moments Seem to expose this lack of emotion in present time Pre-Chorus: If I could never think of you again Make you part of a distant past Get away from this lingering passion I would But the fact is the sheets are freezin So I’m askin beggin pleadin Give me what I'm needin You should Chorus: Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down One more night Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down One more night Verse 2: When the sun does rise You lose your luster your shine Not under the spell of that old love Crossing my mind Now the day is lighter Fever for you expires Eagerness to love you is dried up in present time Pre-Chorus: If I could never think of you again Make you part of a distant past Get away from this lingering passion I would But the fact is the sheets are freezin So I’m askin beggin pleadin Give me what I'm needin You should Chorus: Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down One more night Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down One more night
