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 ©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?

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 ©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
