Tinashe (MixTapes & UnReleased)

Not expected to be on her upcoming LP, a leak of one of the rejected tracks from Aquarius has surfaced.  Over a bass-heavy, stuttering T-Minus beat, Tinashe sings about an essentially anonymous one-night stand.  She makes it perfectly clear to the man that he is just a fix-up until something real comes along.  Those that are familiar with her track Chainless will recognize this side of singer; brash and giving zero fucks.  A pretty good track, but there does feel like something is missing from it; but, considering that this is likely an incomplete demo, there is a lot of potential here.

Fear Not

Come When I Call

Reverie

Lift me up, fuck being afraid.

Fuck it, have your way.

Give me more, I need a bigger dose…

ceiling’s on my toes

Rhythm with each other—

the moral of my needs.

Movin slow, what’d you do to me?

Someone answer me!

Movin slow, what’d you do to me?

Someone answer me why I can’t keep you out of my mind

‘Got me feeling so high when I look in your eyes

but the biggest thing I really gotta know— All of a sudden why I can’t say NO to you…

…and not a part of me wants to.

I was fine a little bit ago

Could’ve had control

put my heart in a bottle with a note— set that shit afloat.

…but it only drifted slower and further out to sea

Moving slow, what’d you do to me? 

Someone answer me why I can’t keep you out of my mind

‘Got me feeling so high when I look in your eyes

but the biggest thing I really gotta know— All of a sudden why I can’t say NO to you…

…and not a part of me wants to.

Boy I’m what you’re missing in your life

I already read the words behind your eyes.


Cant Say No

Feels like everybody got a mask,
Walking past you don't even see them all pass,
Living life three times... as fast,
All of our visions distorted, frosted glass.

[Bridge]
What do you mean, I won't?
Who do you think I am?
I'll rise like a summer sun,
Never believe I can't.

[Hook]
I'll beware,
Painted Faces,
All around,
Painted Faces,
Feel the stare,
So I know they're there,
Behind painted faces.

[Verse 2]
Seem like everybody hates their friends,
Common sense ain't even common sense,
Living minds three times... as dense,
All of our children grow old without no fence.

[Bridge]
What do you mean, I won't?
Who do you think I am?
I'll rise like a summer sun,
Never believe I can't.

[Hook]
I'll beware,
Painted Faces,
All around,
Painted Faces,
Feel the stare,
So I know they're there,
Behind painted faces.

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [x4]


Tinashe &amp; Jacques Greene - Painted Faces

Red bottoms to announce my arrival...
Click clicking on that blacked out tile
I see em looking so I smile, all the while
Thinking you know I know
That even you doubted I would ever make it
Baby eat your heart out, tell me can you take it
Going too hard tryna get right
I be having blue dreams, up all night

I'm, straight shuttin it down with my chin up
Heard so many times I should give up
Now they gonna talk shit more than ever
'Sum inside won't quit, I remember

Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow
...just let it flow
and an indestructible faith Ima make it

Oh, is what keeps me afloat
So you're going to school I'm assuming?
Uh, no, I spend full-time on my music
People get so scared when they hear that

Why can't I be young and independent?
Face it
Ima fucking monster
nothings gonna stop me
I will never falter
Say it like tinashe
Yes its from zimbabwe
Better start to practice
You'll mention me all day one day...
Don't you see what's wrong with the system?
These are the rules, shut up and obey them
Brainwash the babies, teach them the same stuff
Limit their minds so we all stay in line, so
LYRICS
Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow
...just let it flow

And an indestructible faith Ima make it
Oh, is what keeps me afloat

I am floating yeah
I am floating yeah
I am floating... yeah
Tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep
Tryna stay afloat but the current's pulling me, oh
Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea
Tryna stay afloat, better swim— gotta breathe, oh
Tryna stay afloat but the river's so deep
Tryna stay afloat but the current's pulling me, oh
Tryna stay afloat as it drags me out to sea
Tryna stay afloat, better swim— gotta breathe, oh

Knowing where the wind will blow is impossible
When you're still in the sky
You gotta just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...
Just let it blow...

Knowing where the river goes is impossible
When you're still in the water
Gotta just let it flow
...just let it flow

And an indestructible faith Ima make it
Oh, is what keeps me afloat
