Devil Ride 03:45
Devil Ride ©2022 Dominique Chalea Jones Verse 1: What do you do when death is the norm Been begging for years, see no reform Shot that man Oscar on the BART platform Got no time 'cause of the uniform We take to the streets and we cry our tears Feel no relief though we try to heal Can't rest in peace, we live in fear Even if we comply that our fate is sealed Pre-Chorus: We must divest from these systems when Murder is usual business See no semblance of civility Time to take responsibility Chorus: 'Cause if you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah If you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive Verse 2: Been four years now can't take no more Came in the night, kicked in the door Shot Breonna, we all wept So many days and no justice felt We take to the polls, you suppress our votes Ain't safe in our homes, where do we go? How many times can you show your hate 'Fore black rage turns to a burning blaze Chorus: 'Cause if you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah If you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive Rap: Sick of hearing the lies Our spirit is gonna shift it Our people ain't gonna die Our children are gonna thrive Giving up all my limits Higher power is limitless Setting all my intentions Living in my ascension Lesser men stoke fear Better angels appear Four centuries with me Ancestors stay near Ain't killed us yet Some reason still try Our season draws nigh We young, gifted and fly Chorus: 'Cause if you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah If you let the devil ride he'll wanna drive, yeah Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive He'll wanna drive, yeah He'll wanna drive Devil be prejudice, Devil be hate Don't let him sit in the passenger's seat You let the devil ride he'll wanna drive

Destination 03:29
Destination ©2022 Dominique Chalea Jones Chorus: Hands behind his back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Hands behind her back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Verse 1: See them lights blast then he feels his life flash before his eyes What right does she have when she feels it's her back against these walls Power structure won't let us move But it comes at the speed of bullets They cuff us just before they rough us up Who can we call? Chorus: Hands behind his back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Hands behind her back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Verse 2: I light a candle for our souls As we walk out of our doors Pray our bodies meet no harm And as we leave we make it home May life return all that we offer No weapon formed against shall prosper They test us yeah they try to mess us up But we won't fall Bridge: Yea though I walk through the valley The shadow of death I will fear no evil For thou art with me Comforting me Preparing a table in the presence of my enemies Ohhhhh Chorus: Hands behind his back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Hands behind her back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Hands behind his back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination Hands behind her back Face against the pavement Why can't we reach our destination

Who Got Us? 03:50
Who Got Us? ©2022 Dominique Chalea Jones Verse 1: The most disrespected, most neglected The most affected, unprotected How long will you sit by The one who sacrificed and gave you life Who's once again on the front lines Who hears us when we cry out Pre-Chorus: Love black women protect black women Not just when you wanna sex black women Receive black women, Believe black women How long are you gonna leave black women Chorus: Who got us, let me know If you got us, let me know Who got us, let me know If you got us, let it show Rap: Respecting only the women that you're feeling ain't respect And yet you only call queen the chick you think you keep in check You're not a king, still a clown if you only see my crown When I'm moaning making sounds and it's your seed that I ingest Intercede on your behalf, if you only did the math You'd see the numbers on forgiveness, devotion are unmatched What's your appeal when you approach, tryna be equally yoked Not just with lovers with my bros, when will you all clean up your act The system brings you harm and we're the first ones at your back Yet you still gon' break our hearts when we're assertive bout what lacks You can turn up for a game, you can turn up for some stacks? Then turn up for black queens, yo Eric turn up the track Been a cut above many, been ahead of the pack Given love you to you plenty, now I'm busy with the facts Been gifted and driven and nothing has ever stopped us But can you tell your mothers, sistas, lovers who got us? Chorus: Who got us, let me know If you got us, let me know Who got us, let me know If you got us, let it show Bridge: Gotta say it plain 'cause oppressors keep on playing us Message I'm conveying so that you can feel weight of us When we on our knees at night pleading who is we prayin for Black man got me wondering what I'm staying for Lauryn said it then it could all be so simple Bullet to my temple, I'm always gon' pick you But will you choose me too Chorus: Who got us, let me know If you got us, let me know Who got us, let me know If you got us, let it show

MasterMoon 03:43
MasterMoon ©2022 Dominique Chalea Jones Verse 1: I been on a rollercoaster These emotions I feel for ya Twist and turn I go Back and forth, left and right Is there more left to fight Did I learn if I'm Letting go, calling in All the way to the win Is it worth all I got left within Pre-Chorus: This can't be all the road We've got so far to go Chorus: Take me to your master Take me to your moon Take me to where after We've both been consumed, my love Take me to your master Take me to your room Take me to where after We've both been consumed, by love Verse 2: Is it what I think I'm falling in Have I fooled myself again Can it be we're more than friends, my love If my heart is filled with doubt Maybe I should keep my mouth Locked up and just do without, my love Something tells me I can't have it 'Cause I'm from another planet Will I always be locked out by love? Pre-Chorus: This can't be all the road We've got so far to go Chorus: Take me to your master Take me to your moon Take me to where after We've both been consumed, my love Take me to your master Take me to your room Take me to where after We've both been consumed, by love Bridge: Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Will you Take Me Take Take Me Take me to your master Take me to your moon Take me to where after We've both been consumed, my love Take me to your master Take me to your room Take me to where after We've both been consumed, by love
