Walk On By (Prod. Pete Rock)

LYRICS:

I had a dream, all black and pink 
I saw my baby, he called me, “Weak”
For not, wearing grunge like them 
And not smoking pot with them
(Don’t you like my heels? 
With socks and thrifted T?)

16:12, it’s pouring and freezing 
6 days passed since his dumb butt left me
365 days since I last worried about them,
They’ve moved on without me
I wish I was sad, but I’m not
I found so much joy on my own 
Picked myself up when I felt low
Had my own back when they went ghost.

I had a dream, all black and pink 
I saw my baby, he called me, “Weak”
For not, being “cool” like them 
Don’t he know that I’m cool the way I am? 
(I grind and I win 
My goals are manifesting).

(1:05, it’s pretty late and I gotta get up 5
I gotta get done with this project else 
I won’t have time
To go over it, it’s a brand new day 
A whole new grind, for a whole new trial) x2

I was lost, but He found me
Moving about in life with no identity
He wiped my tears away and assured me
That I would be just okay as long as I held onto Him.

Kumisa, Kumisa, Kumisa 
Kumisa, Kumisa, Kumisa
Kumisa, Kumisa, Kumisa
Kumisa, Kumisa, Kumisa
Kumisa (Ye! Ye! Ye!)
Kumisa (Ye! Ye! Ye!)
Kumisa (Ye! Ye! Ye!)
Kumisa (Ye! Ye!)

I had a dream, all black and pink 
I saw my baby, he called me, “Weak” 
For not, wearing grunge like them
And not smoking pot with them
(Don’t you like my heels? 
With socks and thrifted T?) 
I had a dream, all black and pink
I saw my baby, he called me, “Weak” 
For not, being “cool” like the. 
Don’t he know that I’m cool the way I am?
(I grind and I win
My goals are manifesting).

Theme From a Dream (Prod. Desmond Williams)

LYRICS:

Henka Suru

Henka Suru

I prayed for change and I got it
I prayed for peace and I got it
I prayed for love and I got it 
I prayed for friends, I lost them 
I found a family instead, and 
I wonder why He’s being generous

I am not the best
I’m not like the rest
I’m slow, I’m a mess
They laughed in my face
Triggered the pain
There’s no avoiding it
They don’t understand 
How awful it’s been 
Humiliating 
You have eyes
You have ears
So, why you can’t you see me?
Or hear me? 
Or read me? 
Or feel me? 

I just crave…

Henka Suru (I need it, I need it)

Henka Suru (I need it, I need it)
Henka Suru

Bénis, vous êtes tous 
I once hated you 
Then I got my breakthrough
Bénis, vous êtes tous

I prayed for change and I got it
I prayed for peace and I got it
I prayed for love and I got it 
I didn’t pray, but I found him 
he likes me more than anything 
Still wonder why He’s being generous 

I am the best
I’m not like the rest
I’m fast, I’m a wreck 
They said some things 
Triggered the pain
There’s no avoiding it
They don’t understand 
How hard it is 
Livin in reality
You have eyes
You have ears
So, why you can’t you see me?
Or hear me? 
Or read me? 
Or feel me? 

I once hated you 
Then I got my breakthrough 
Bénis, vous êtes tous 
Bénis, vous êtes tous

Henka Suru (Change) (Prod. Nujabes)

LYRICS:

Sometimes, you’re on a mission 
You know what you’re doing 
You know where you’re going 
Someone out there is watching 
Closely
“Oh my, she’s so clever
She might be the next Michelle Obama
Skin’s got a magical glow like Lupita
Walks with power like Dr. Campbell.”

What do I do? Who do I trust?
(Time!)
What do I do? Who do I trust?
(Time!)
What do I do? Who do I trust?
(Time!) 
What do I do? Who do I trust? 
(Time!)

Sometimes, you’re in the deep end
You’ve fallen and you’ve been trying 
To scramble on up to the surface
But your past is keeping you captive 
(Forgive it)
Sometimes, you gotta bounce back
You were down, now it’s your moment
You were hurt, now there’s enlightenment 
You were astray, now there’s alignment
“Oh my, she’s so stupid.
And she will never amount to anything 
She’s too closed (she’s too open)
She’s too cold (she’s too warm, man)
She’s too slow (she’s too fast) 
I, do not quite understand
Her existence
This thing will never last.”

You switch up, it’s obvious 
(Punk)
You don’t care, it’s obvious
(Run) 
You want to stop my 
(Shine)
Just sit down and watch me
(Rise)

Time (Prod. Nujabes)

LYRICS

I feel like talkin’
I feel like laughin’
I feel like dancin’ 
With you, you, you

Might have mistaken 
Your “Yes” for “Maybe”
Why’d you drop me like garbage?
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do?

Garbage (Prod. Nujabes)

(LYRICS)

It’s been 3 months,
Look what the cat dragged in 
“I miss you, I really wanna see you again.” 
It’s been 3 months 
Where has your courage been? 
“Really wanna see you.”

You must think I’m stupid, 
You must think I’m foolish,
You must think I’m, 
You must think I’m,
You must think I’m dumb-dumb
You’re the one who reached out
Interested in a meet-up
Made excuses, convinced me.
Way too good, I could sense it. 

Prayed for you every night 
3 days, you were dancing in my mind
Tore me apart I won’t lie 
You got what you wanted 
Attachment and fled from sight

I’ll never get my time back
My crushed confidence 
Somehow, it hit you
Now, you wanna try to

It’s been 3 months
What are you talking about? 
“I really wanna see you.”
(Test him
No!
Test him
No!)
3 months
What are you talking about? 
“I’m back from Malibu”
Whatchu expect me to do?

I don’t wanna talk (Je Je)
I don’t wanna call (Je Je)
I don’t want your time (Je Je)
You played too many times (Je Je)
Yeah, I do forgive (Je Je)
I try to forget (Je Je)
Be careful what you say (Je Je)
To the wrong woman (Je Je)
(Je Je)

Messed with my worth
Messed with my head
Messed with my worth 
Messed with my head
Messed with my worth
Messed with my head 
I wanna despise you  
I physically can’t (x4)

Sentimental (Prod. Ted Beats)

(LYRICS)

I’m not here
I’m at my house 
Their speech is intense 
You’re nodding along 

I got saved, just the other day. 
I told you on the phone 
I think you were excited 
Or disgusted 
(I don’t recall)

You’ll get mad 
If I leave you behind with them 
The thing is
I already have 
I gotta make Him proud 

I stepped out 
They noticed 
I could feel your eyes 
Burning on my back 
If looks could kill 
I wouldn’t die 
Your anger was predicted
So, I don’t really mind

You got mad 
When I left you behind with them 
It don’t matter, I don’t really care. 
I gotta make Him proud 
So goodbye now
Bye now.

Left Behind (Prod. PJ Shady)

(LYRICS) 

You’re choosing me? 
I don’t smoke, I don’t drink
I’m in bed by 10:30.
I dress up and go out
All alone, I’m in town 
I fade out in crowds. 

Want this?
You sure you really want this? 
Are you being honest? 
It’s not often
That I get approached and 
You seem really promising 

I’m not Gordon Ramsay
(I’m not, I’m not, I’m not) 
I’m not Gordon Ramsay 
(I’m not, I’m not, I’m not) 

I’m not Gordon Ramsay 
He’d kick me out of his kitchen 
I’d burn down the whole building.
I stay out of drama 
Mama raised me better
I just drink my water.

Want this? 
You sure really you want this? 
Are you being honest? 
It’s not often
That I get approached and 
You really wanna know me. 

I’m not Gordon Ramsay 
(I’m not, I’m not, I’m not) 
I’m not Gordon Ramsay 
(I’m not, I’m not, I’m not)

Wanted (Prod. NADA BEATS)

(LYRICS)

I have a crush
And I ain’t asking for much 
(Just your attention)
Can you hit me up?
(Just for a minute) [x2]

This was unexpected 
Identity anonymous, keeping it secret 
I’m hoping that said person will sleep and dream it 
God would have to take me before I admit it 
What? 
You thought I was confident?
(Bakosaki yo)
I’m a coward when it comes to this
(C’est n’est pas faux)
I’m about to stalk his page again
(Girl, no)
You can’t stop me
You won’t stop me
So what if I like a pic from 2 years ago? 
Is he gonna lose his mind or be flattered though? 
Don’t operate on logic, be delusional
What’s he gonna do? (Run)
What’s he gonna do? (Front) 
Why you sound confused?
This is old news 
What’s the worst to happen? 
“He won’t like you”
I ain’t got nothing to lose 
I ain’t got nothing to prove 
Ricky when I catch you (oh you) 
I’m gonna to tell you (oh you) 
Don’t hide forever 
Or else, I’ll say it never 
I barely know you (isn’t this fun?)
You barely know me (isn’t this fun?)
I know it’s silly 
But, but, but… 

I have a crush (on you)
And I ain’t asking for much 
(Just your attention) 
Can you hit me up? 
(Just for a minute) (x2)

(LYRICS)

Never gon’ catch me 
Fled out the country 
Sorry, I stepped in 
Never gon’ catch me 
Never expose me
Left as a memory 

Controlled like puppets 
No discernment or awareness 
How could you take them out in masses? 
They couldn’t run me over 
Stood tall and kept composure 
Angels pulled me away 

“Find him!” (x6)
Think he fled out the country
“Find him!” (x6)
Sorry he stepped in (sike!) 

Never gon’ catch me 
Fled out the country 
Call it bravery 
Never gon’ catch me 
Never expose me
Left as a memory 

Controlled like puppets 
No discernment or awareness 
How could you take them out in masses? 
They couldn’t run me over 
Stood tall and kept composure 
Angels pulled me away 

“Find him!” (x6)
Think he fled out the country
“Find him!” (x6)
Sorry he stepped in (sike!)

Tank Man (Prod. Samurai Champloo)

I wish you never knew me 
What was I thinking? 
Thinking (Oh!) 
You’re just so very stupid 
I made you out to be 
More than what you are 
Your friends, they actually hate you 
But they won’t let you know 
Cause you’re the cash flow, cash flow 
(Oh!)

My, oh why did I? 
Oh, why did I?
Oh, why did I?
Oh, why did I? 
Oh, why did—

I wish you never knew me 
You took the best of me 
You’ll do the same to Bernice 
(Same to Bernice)
(Same to Bernice)
(Same to Bernice)

Never gon’ catch me, fled out the country

Never gon’ catch me, never expose me 
Left as a memory 

Controlled like puppets
No discernment or awareness 
How could you take them out in masses? 
They couldn’t run me over
Stood tall and kept composure
Angels pulled me away 

Find him (x7) 
Think he fled out the country 
Find him (x7) 
Sorry, he stepped in (sike!)

Never gon’ catch me, fled out the country 
Call it bravery 
Never gon’ catch me, never expose me 
Left as a memory 

Controlled like puppets
No discernment or awareness
How could you take them out in masses?
They couldn’t run me over
Stood tall and kept composure
Angels pulled me away 

Find him (x7)
Think he fled out the country 
Find him (x7)
Sorry, he stepped in (sike!)

(LYRICS) 

I’d read the note if I were you 
No, I’m not interested in you 
You are the gateway to the crew
They need to hear me 
I got something 

Oblivion could get you killed 
Left 30 signs, couldn’t catch 2
How pitiful, you have to lose 
Unless you give me 
A little something 

(Hey!) Better listen now 
Don’t think about playing me 
(Hey!) I dictate the routes
You direct accordingly 
No funny business
I’ll blow everything up 
You know I got time 
Do not risk your life 

Don’t be scared, just obey 
Get the others off, this is intimate
Pay the money and you’ll live 
It’s so simple, don’t make trouble
I might jump off this plane
Get a parachute to keep it safe 
Don’t test my patience, not today 
We’re flying over the dark ocean 

(Hey!) Better listen now 
Don’t think about playing me 
(Hey!) I dictate the routes
You direct accordingly 
No funny business
I’ll blow everything up 
You know I got time 
Do not risk your life 

Do not risk your life, 
Do not risk your life, babe (x2)
Do not risk your life 

(Hey!) Better listen now 
Don’t think about playing me 
(Hey!) I dictate the routes
You direct accordingly 
No funny business
I’ll blow everything up 
You know I got time 
Do not risk your life (x2)

Guidance
I've been lacking it I need more
Assurance
I'll surrender anything, Lord

I'm not gonna (Don't you try to let go)
I'm not gonna (Of...)
I am gonna (Take a chance on me)

I've spent some time
Contemplating my life

To be called?

Explain, je suis reconnaisante
C'est ca, ma vie est different
You believed in me from jump
I'm thankful you can handle me (x2)

I'm not gonna (Don't you try to let go)
I'm not gonna (Of...)

Contemplating my life
What did I... do?
To be called?

You believed in me from jump
I'm thankful you can handle me (x)

How can I?

I heard you broke up with your girlfriend
She didn't know you
She couldn't stand you
She didn't love you
"Despicable" Ah!
And now you wonder how you fumbled...

"I'll buy a mansion, mansion"
Did I ever mention, mention?
Your confusion with a delusion, poor execution.
"I'll buy a mansion..." Ah! Ah!

I heard you broke with your boyfriend,
I was the better option from the start but I guess,
It's gonna be my option, I'm gon' treat you well, 
I'm gon' sing for you, yeah

I'll buy you a mansion, mansion,
I'll buy you a mansion, mansion,
Let's get together, 
I will give you satisfaction, I know, 
Buy you a mansion, mansion
I'll buy you a mansion
Don't got no cash but I do not care no, care no,
Because I know that you fumbled the bag with me,
Buy you a mansion, mansion...

Met this human on the internet, yeah
Can't say much, he don't know me that well
I hope to meet him one day
Someday, anyday
Wanna be his friend, no games
Lord, if you're listening (I beg)
Grant me this one thing
He's unlike anyone else (Wait)
Is it a cannon event?

I'm Peter Parker with my web slinging
I never get my MJ or get my Gwen Stacy
Cause I'm busy fixing my bad habits like Steve Lacy
I've been crazy
So crazy,
I'll get a tattoo of your name maybe
After a bitter breakup I still wanna call you baby
I'm lazy,
Of saying sorry, I never apologize
This breakup pulling us closer, it's a blessing in disguise,
Don't want no more lies
I really blush when I look in your eyes
I'm surprised
You haven't blocked me yet 
If I didn't know better I would think that we not over yet
Imma send 100 flowers just to see if you don't want me yet
Your smile is so angelic girl I swear you prolly heaven sent

I'll buy you a mansion, mansion,
I'll buy you a mansion, mansion,
Let's get together, 
I will give you satisfaction, I know
Buy you a mansion, mansion
I'll buy you a mansion
Don't got no cash but I do not, 
Selfish you know, 
I know that you still want me,
I'll give you a chase

What Are You Waiting For? (Prod. Pete Rock)

Blending her delicate voice with sharp lyrics ranging from faith, love, heartbreak and social commentary, then adding the unpredictability of flow and language to the mix, DebbyCathrine is a Congolese polyglot and musical nomad with a distinct identity worth paying attention to. 

As a 21-year-old Writer, Artist and Content Creator now, Cathrine’s musical journey started in 2017 when songwriting became a newly-found hobby. 

In 2018, after being given a sample beat she’d written a song for, “Happier Alone” never made it into the world as the inaccessibility to a studio created a speed-bump to her promising, smooth-sailing musical route.

In 2021, Cathrine discovered Voloco, a studio-recording app allowing her to record a song which went on to become her first release on SoundCloud, "What Are You Waiting For" (a 2001 Hip Hop instrumental produced by Pete Rock from his "PeteStrumentals" album).  

Every song released after "What Are You Waiting For" were green lights leading up to "Beloved", the artist's first EP centred on her mental, emotional and spiritual growth. It featured 2002 Soul, Electronica and Drum & Bass instrumentals produced by Desmond Williams from his "Delights of the Garden" album. Its humble success gathered a total of 91 listeners in June of 2022.

In August of 2022, an artist exposed DebbyCathrine to Fat Jon and Nujabes. This is how "Wes's Genee: The Soundtrack" came to life through its release featuring the producers' 2004 Hip Hop instrumentals from their "Impression" album. The soundtrack was made for her 2022 Wattpad Action e-book, "Wes's Genee", which was subsequently published in the same month. 

In November of 2023, her third EP, "Unsolved Mysteries" was released featuring 2004 Hip Hop instrumentals again produced by Nujabes and Fat Jon from their "Departure" album. This was a work of fiction on behalf of Cathrine’s fascination with renowned unsolved identities.

Her musical influences include Michael Jackson, Cleo Sol and Kanye West.
