Girl Be Loved (feat. Viveca Hawkins)

Verse 1
Ever since I was a little predator
Mom’s like, don’t get ahead of her
I was on the hunt for something better than the regular
And I knew there was candy at the register
So not about to settle for the vegetables.
Full grown, still got a sweet tooth
still tryna climb all the walls I can see, you
take your influences wichoo,
everywhere you go.
Mine were Carmen Sandiego
Lauryn Hill and Terry Gross.
But I’ve been playing hard to keep:
Kiss and teleport
Dark roots where the bleach won’t reach
Man, that’s gotta be a metaphor
But I’m still tryna storyboard it
Call me back if it’s important
If you’re looking for me
On this Tinder shit about partners in crime
Seems like Bonnie’s working little harder than Clyde
When it comes to the heist, doesn’t feel like a partnership
Cuz my accomplice is completely incompetent.

Nonsense 1
(Twizzlers)

Verse 2
Two bars walk into a joke.
First is a gold bar, other is soap.
Yo, lemme get the punchline I’m worth most
Gold says with a glass too full to toast
But Soap makes her voice go real low
Leans close
Rarely one to go boast
But when the banks hit the button, the credit goes down to nothing,
And the flood waters come in, then let’s see who floats.
Watch for unintended consequences—those you don’t see
The initials of your girlfriend could kill the fucking oak tree.
Nothing in my pocket but the body heat
Travel light, and mind your manners, man
That’s my foreign policy.

I’m that Netflix chick,
See the pieces on the ceiling—
The strategy above me
All the moves when I’m competing:
I’ll arrive by lightning bolt
Leave by cannonball
The china’s fine, man
The bull’s mechanical

Nonsense 2
(Robots)

Outro
A base hit is the son of a pitch
A tanning bed is the sun of the rich.
Son, keep your knuckles up, front of the fists
Don’t go broke, looking for something to fix

VERSE 1
Running water
Standing wave
I’m looking at what must be your pet hurricane
Got you so spun
No break from the rain
Her roof held off your floor by just a trembling windowpane
Maybe that ringing in your ears
Is just her bell around your neck
And with a smoke ring on her finger
She goes and signals for the check
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

VERSE 2
Her double take
And single give
She’s out of pocket
Running numbers—not my business
But I can see how broke you’re going
Every time I visit
This life of yours passing just-just as fast as she can live it
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

BRIDGE
You can’t save your youth
For later, so
Take all you that you can carry and
Time is on nobody’s side

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

OUTRO CHORUS
It’s not too late
Til you say it is
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this
I’ll be your yes among no’s
It’s not too late,
Til you say it is
I’ll be your yes among no’s
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this

Wake up to your sunlight high

Hopeless we keep on yearning
Love spirit will never die

Verse 1
Open up your hands 
Watch the light beams glow
Let the frequency align 
And baby don’t let go
Heart beat with the rhythm
Can you feel that Flow 
If its hittin to hard baby 
Let me know

Soooooo 

Verse 2
Change your state
And watch your step
Stay on the path 
No right  left
Look for the light 
That brights the chest
Source energy

Gone shine on me
Rain down

Purify my soul to the 9th degree

Chorus
Children of the sun shine bright
Don’t let them stop you burning
Show them how your spirit rise
Knowledge we keep on learnin 
Light the fire in their eyes 
love light we keep on yearning 
Our spirit will never die

If we 
Head toward the light x3

Verse 3
Step into another realm 
unlock the portal door
I am just a lesser light 
that came to show you more
Float into to your galaxy 
cause I could feel your pain
Follow me head toward the light
Baby girl we can do our thang

Oh Oh X2

Chorus Outro
Wake up to your sunlight high
Great rising lets stay burning
Consciencesness of love will rise
Knowledge will keep on turning
I see fire in their eyes
Hopeless we keep on yearning
Love spirit will never die 

Children of the sun shine bright
Don’t let them stop you burning
Show them how your spirit rise
Knowledge we keep on learnin 
Light the fire in their eyes 
love light we keep on yearning 
Our spirit will never die

No we found love can you walk with me 
Shine so bright the universe can see
