1st verse
Is there a constellation 
to show you where my heart is
Tender estimation. 
Im sure you have planned destination
Just where I wanna be
Is there a constellation 
to show you where my heart is
Whats your estimation. 
To get to my height. 
In this cold & heart less world

2nd verse
Is it a manifestation
That you would come into my life?
Thee edification 
of all the things ive done right?
Even the wrong vibrations  lead me to your heart 
is it a manifestation
That you would come and bring some much joy to my world
This cold and heartless world
In this cold and heartless world
This cold and heartless world 

Vamp
Cold And Heartless World 

3rd Verse
Is it a constellation 
That brought you to me
Its in the constellation
That brought to me
Thanking the stars above me 
For bring me my joy.
In this cold and heartless world
Thanks you for bringing my joy.

  

Cold & Heartless

The Politics of Black Style: Gender, Resistance, Black Dandyism & why the Met gala was kinda slavey

I wanted to make a song about being lost running away, trying to find yourself and then finding your chosen family.... and how the family that you find in the world is your family.... and it's not necessarily because of blood but more so because of love... sometimes that family is a relative and sometimes they're not but you love them just the same.  Happy Pride.

Thicker Than Water

I wrote this song about enjoying the moment. Being with somebody that you love and you looking in their eyes and they're looking in your eyes and it just seems like everything is right.  They look good, you look good. You have the right outfit on, the music is right, and the atmosphere is right. You're just standing there in the right light and just enjoying the moment.

Verse I
Strobe light, Laser beams
Spotlight, Brown-eyed gleams
Incandescent smile
Like seeing fireflies in the dark
Im feeling feeling so good inside
Every little thing just feels so right
So right

Mini bridge
A Picture perfect me 
A Picture perfect you
A picture perfect love that lives in me
Because you came into my light

Chorus
Its like having on the right dress
Standing in the right light
Perfect music in the background
Staring in your eyes
Ordering the right cocktail
Still Pretty When youre Tipsy
I feel Safe when your next to me
You make me feel high x2
Hand on my chest 
Staring at your face 
Looking deep in your eyes
All on a good night 
Oh Ooo Standing in the Right light

Verse II
Candle Moonlight Glow
Day light Night Time You never know
When you show me your love
It can be twilight or high noon tea
Feeling so good inside’
Every Little thing with you feels so right 
so right

Repeat Mini Bridge

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 
Hold me close X3 
Stand in the Right Light 
Hold me close (Stand in the Right light)
Don’t let me go(Stand in the Right light)

Vamp

Staring in the right  eyes
