With the help of the folks at Produced By Youth I was able to complete my first beat through their beat making workshops! 
Big shout out to 4theworld for helping my lay down the structure and to Tafari for mastering it!

Hope the song encourages to feel amazing too!

A Queer Side Story is a love tale about an intense first connection that starts with an entrance and leads to a passionate fiery romance then finally to a mature and mutual realization of the necessity for boundaries and space between two queer lovers. This creative production is the side of love stories that we don’t always get to witness, experience and celebrate publicly. A Queer Side Story is a Black Queer Woman’s take on a tale as old time.

Destiny Lyrics 
(Produced by Julio Kalima @motionsbyk)

This can't rush 
No days off
They wish me luck 
I put my all in 

As I move up 
And the targets  locked in 
Increase my options 
And that’s how I reach what’s meant for me (x5)

So I’ll follow my destiny 
Pray for peace and what’s best for me 
Any test I meet 
I guh pass wid ease 
Cuz this is my destiny 

Can't compete with my recipe  
Nah cuz dis is my destiny 
I protect my name and my legacy 
Cuz dis is my destiny 
Oh na na na 

Can't throw me off of my destiny
Can't take from me what is meant for me     
What disturbs my peace 
Cannot rest wid me 
Ohh na na na 

Haffi watch who mi keep by mi side 
Haffi watch how dem pree ah my life 
Haffi see wah dem need 
Iz it pride or dem greed 
Mi haffi trust when tings nah right 

Gotta watch for thieves in the night 
Gotta see how they smile when they lie   
Send a cease and desist if I find 
That they 
Tryna steal my essence, or my presence, or my message or my leverage 
Or my energy 
What’s meant for me 
Or anything that’s promised to me 
That’s promised to me 

Cannot steal my essence or my presence or my message, or my leverage  or my energy, what’s meant for me or anything that’s promised to me
That’s promised to me

Can't throw me off of my destiny
Can't take from me what is meant for me 
Cuz it’s meant for me
Oh na na na

"After 33" has a very deep meaning and many biblical references and I'm hoping that listeners will personally share their interpretations of the song with me!
