Told Me (Stand Up)

KINGSHIT

Second single from the forthcoming album "Magic."

The Oath

This is a story about an encounter with a "Lady of Magic"

She dress up for no reason
She wear pink in all seasons
And I know they say looks can kill but still I bet it'd be thrilling
But they say she drives men crazy
Have them changing everything
The way they dress
The things they say
Even change the way they pray
But that's ok this must be heaven anyway
I swear I died the way she took my breath away
That Asé baby
She ain't come to play baby

Shawty got a Gris-gris on
Shawty got it
Yea shawty got it
She ain't come to leave alone
Shawty got it
She commands every eye that's in the room
Watching how she moves
Stare to long and her spell takes hold of you
Then there's nothing you can do
Yea shawty got it
Yea shawty got it

The vibe is right
The magical type
Baby you impress me
Think I just might
By the end of the night
Let your soul possess me
Take me away away away away away away away
Spirit me away away away away away away away
Take me away away away away away away away
Spirit me away away away to your place
I'm prepared to risk it all for you baby there's nothing I wouldn't do
Like Adam at his fall I know that the fruit of heaven it tastes like you
I don't know what you did
That got me with the feels
But whatever it is
Got me head over heels
Got me under your spell
Supplications up above
For your love love love love love love

Shawty got a Gris-gris on
Shawty got it
Yea shawty got it
She ain't come to leave alone
Shawty got it
She commands every eye that's in the room
Watching how she moves
Stare to long and her spell takes hold of you
Then there's nothing you can do
Yea shawty got it

She's got Juju
(Sweet like her name was Osun)
That voodoo
(Or was it Het Heru)
She's got Juju
(Maybe Erzule)
That Voodoo
(All I know she's the one for me)
She's a Goddess
(Exudes Divinity)
Of the Highest
(Sublime femininity)
If I'm honest
(Other girls can't compete)
She's the hottest
(Baddest thang that I've ever seen baby)

Manbo
Manbo
Manbo got a hold on me baby
Manbo put a root on me yea
Can't let it go no
Can't let it go no

Got so much to be grateful for
Things that make this life worth living
That includes the little things
Like to hear the laughter of children
Cause I truly believe this world was made for me
and life's a mystery just waiting to be seen
Spend my time unpacking the gifts inside of me
and live my life with open arms ready to receive 

That doesn't mean 
We won't go through
Things
The storm clouds must come and
Bring a little rain
That doesn't mean 
We won't go through
Things
To know pleasure
We must know pain

Sunshine
Blue skies
Brighten up my day
Whenever I feel lost 
Inside
Nature lights my way...
And I
Express gratitude
Everyday give thanks
Adjust my attitude
Everyday give thanks
Keep a pleasant mood
Everyday give thanks
Everyday I give thanks
For the sunshine
Rain makes you appreciate those cloudless days
Won't let you give up when things don't go your way
Keep on moving forward towards your Sunshine.
Gotta hold on to the light within your mind 
Sunshine 

I'm grateful for all the things that I have and more
I'm ready to fill my cup with what life has in store
Cause what's for me is for me
Fortune is Destiny
I don't waste energy
Envying somebody else
There's only one of me
And I can clearly see
God shined it's light through me
It made my soul go bling
And my life is the the shit
To live it is a gift
And I will never quit
Saying thank you through these hits

Sunshine
Blue skies
Brighten up my day
Whenever I feel lost 
Inside
Nature lights my way...
And I
Express gratitude
Everyday give thanks
Adjust my attitude
Everyday give thanks
Keep a pleasant mood
Everyday give thanks
Everyday give thanks
For the sunshine
Rain makes you appreciate those cloudless days
Won't let you give up when things don't go your way
Keep on moving forward towards your Sunshine.
Gotta hold on to the light within your mind 
Sunshine 
Sunshine 

Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(Head towards the light)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
(Sunshine)
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(You gotta hold on to the goal inside your mind)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(It's just a matter of time)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
(Sunshine)
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(You gotta press on  you gotta press on press on through the night)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
(It's just a matter of time)
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(You gotta hold on to the goal inside your mind)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
(Sunshine)
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(Head towards the light)
Keep moving forward
There's greatness waiting for you
(Sunshine)
Keep moving forward 
Don't let nothing deter you
(You gotta press on  you gotta press on press on through the night)

Gratitude

On a search for deeper meaning

Tryna find what I been needing

A quest for real truth

Beyond the lies they sell you

This life that I been leading

Shown me looks can be deceiving

Everything ain't what it seems

Fairytales and smoke screens

Suddenly I met you

Everything became new

You showed me new possibilities

And what this life could really be 

The pull you had was so strong

Then it wouldn't be long

Before I was all in

Just like a star fallen

fallen


They can have it

They can have it

The houses and cars

Life as a Star

no regrets at all

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

The clothes and hoes

I'll let em go

Shed my Ego

I'll trade it all for you 

They can have it

They can have it

The fortune and fame

I mean everything

The blood in my veins

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

From the heavens I'm hurled

To make you my girl

I'll renounce the world

I'll trade it all for you

Yea


All these things

Mean nothing

My life is empty

Without you in it

Girl you complete me

I swear your love has set me free

If I ever

Have to choose

Out of it all girl I choose you

What good is silver and gold

If I have to sell my soul.

From the mountain high

To the valley low

I place it all on the altar

Girl I let it go

Here is my offering

For you're my

You're my

Everything

They can have it

They can have it

The houses and cars

Life as a Star

no regrets at all

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

The clothes and hoes

I'll let em go

Shed my Ego

I'll trade it all for you 

They can have it

They can have it

The fortune and fame

I mean everything

The blood in my veins

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

From the heavens I'm hurled

To make you my girl

I'll renounce the world

I'll trade it all for you

Yea

I live with no regrets

Girl you're as good as it gets

In spite of I might lose

Girl it is you that I choose

No matter what it may cost me

You're the best part of me

I give you all of me

I don't need a thing

Only you baby

Only you baby

They can have it

They can have it

The houses and cars

Life as a Star

no regrets at all

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

The clothes and hoes

I'll let em go

Shed my Ego

I'll trade it all for you 

They can have it

They can have it

The fortune and fame

I mean everything

The blood in my veins

I'll trade it all for you

They can have it

They can have it 

From the heavens I'm hurled

To make you my girl

I'll renounce the world

I'll trade it all for you

Yea

Sacrifice

From the forthcoming album "Magic"

Once I opened up my eyes

then I seen

you were made me baby

Once I opened my eyes

then I knew

it was always you baby



Sometimes a man can be asleep

while standing on his feet

with both eyes wide closed

without a clue

of what or who's standing right in front of you

Then life might come back around

making him feel like he's found

something that he's never seen before

something brand new, so pure and true

That may be hard to believe 

how could one be so lucky

well girl you've taught me humility

you removed the blinds from my eyes and now I see



Once I opened up my eyes

then I seen

you were made me baby

Once I opened my eyes

then I knew

it was always you baby



You always been here

from the start...baby

You helped raise me

out of the dark...baby

You've shown me a love that I've never known

Stopped me from wandering became my home

Girl I don't what has happened to me

something done changed in me real deep



Girl take this as my testimony

your love can make a blind man see

no more running around 

because you've been found

and I'm feeling so complete baby



Once I opened up my eyes

then I seen

you were made me baby

Once I opened my eyes

then I knew

it was always you baby

Sight

Girl ya vibe speaks to me 

It talks to me

Baby girl ya thrill me

Like nobody else ya feel me



When we're locked in

It's like time ends

The world stops spinning around in an instant yea

And when we're close 

I overdose 

It's like floating on clouds I'm high off ya baby

and I don't need no other drug

Ain't nothing got a stronger buzz

No chaser and it's all because

I'm laced up in ya love

You're my focus baby 



I thought that I should let you know baby

I thought you'd like to know ....baby

You really turn me on my baby

Girl you are my zone ....baby

I thought that I should let you know baby

I thought you'd like to know ....baby

You really turn me on my baby

Girl you are my zone ....baby 



You're my zone...

You are my zone

You're my zone

You are my zone



and I'm on a high baby

That I wanna ride baby

I don't wanna come down baby

Unless it's going down

You and me going round for round

To the beat of our freaky sounds

Moving in and out of reality

Getting lost at the edge

In a trance 

We're suspended in ecstasy

Rain Dance

endorphins and dopamine

Magical Alchemy

As we come together In Unity

Mixing sacred fluids from in-between 

Living Fantasy Lucid Dream

You know what I mean baby



I thought that I should let you know baby

I thought you'd like to know ....baby

You really turn me on my baby

Girl you are my zone ....baby

I thought that I should let you know baby

I thought you'd like to know ....baby

You really turn me on my baby

Girl you are my zone ....baby 



You're my zone...

You are my zone

You're my zone

You are my zone



It's the simple things you do

That really put me in the mood

You're my zone baby

My zone baby

Leave my worries and my cares

Every time that we go there

Girl you're my zone baby

My zone baby 

It's the simple things you do

That really put me in the mood

You're my zone baby

My zone baby

leave my worries and my cares

Every time that we go there

Girl you're my zone baby

My zone baby 

It's the simple things you do

That really put me in the mood

You're my zone baby

My zone baby

leave my worries and my cares

Every time that we go there

Girl you're my zone baby

My zone baby
