Somewhere Together (Kenyon Dixon Ft. Alex Isley) Cover by Eli Mboho Jr. &  Xenia Manasseh

 Wavey Wednesdays (Artists from the collective will be dropping a tune every week on a Wednesday)

SONG 03 : Ukweli & Nu - Fvnk Ft Karun - Wishful Thinking 

lyrics:

I never get enough of giving a fuck
Is it intuition or wishful thinking?
I never get enough, I don't give a fuck
That's just what I say but truth is that I'm crazy

I can't say it enough, I am lost
I can't say it enough, I don't even know where I'm going but
I hope you find your way somehow
Time is working out in your favor
Don't worry cause all you need is love
Don't worry cause all you need is some love

Yaku

Ukweli & Nu Fvnk Ft Runka - Wishful Thinking #WAVEYWEDNESDAY

This track is about my personal disillusionment from worldly conceptions about love and relationships. I use the metaphor of a ship out at sea to try and illustrate the internal turmoil that can be felt by lovers in a relationship. In the hook I admit that the concept of love is still unbeknownst to me because I believe that romanticism has distorted what love is and because error begets error whatever concept we believe in now is a semi-distorted version that is most often than not bound to end in "failure".

But what do I know really.. Everything's subjective everythings perspective.

I am Boston's very own Phenom V, a 21 year old Boston College student from Hyde Park and I would like to present my new song Love Yourself. 

I wrote this song with the complete intentions of providing internal healing for myself and for others. Our world seems to be turning in a very dark direction where individuals are being torn down for wanting to be themselves. I'm here to say...... KILL THAT NOISE.

This song is the anthem for self love. Stand up for who you 

I would like to ask for your help in starting the #LoveYourselfChallenge. I ask that you listen to this song and record a short clip of yourself telling me something about yourself you truly love. Something you won't let the world tear down for you. And if you find yourself struggling to find something, tell me something you're working on. Find a reason to feel good about yourself. Post the video to your Instagram, facebook any social media and use the hashtag #LoveYourselfChallenge. 

I want this to be a moment for US. I want to be able to connect with you all, and for you to be able to find self love.

With Love,
Phenom V

Now we’re making love tonight 
Now we’re making love it’s so right 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love one last time 
Was trying to fake it but you’re making it so hard for me to stop 
You leave me shaking contemplating about how I feel 
Got an advantage on me ‘cause you know the things that make me weak 
And you fight dirty when you tell me what I want to hear 
Now we’re making love tonight 
Now we’re making love it’s so right 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love one last time 
You’re misbehaving and I know that I should show you to the door 
But all this tension and frustration’s only making me want more 
Wanna fight it but I like it no I can’t restrain myself 
You got me calling out your name 
I should be calling out for help 
Now we’re making love tonight 
Now we’re making love it’s so right 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love one last time 
So good I’m giving it up 
So good I’m falling in love 
And that’s just what you want me to do 
I couldn’t even help it if I wanted to 
You keep me needing your touch 
And I just can’t get enough 
And I really don’t want to stop falling in bed with you 
Now we’re making love tonight 
Now we’re making love it’s so right 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love one last time 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love it’s so right 
Now we’re making love good love 
Now we’re making love one last time 
The last time

Now We're Making Love

Lyrics
They say that loose lips sink ships, aha

And you been talking with your hips aha,

No need to say it already know what it is,

………………………………………..
Its no secret,

Want to dive in the deep end,

Tell me your not freak and,

I just couldn’t believe it,

Could have just been the weed and,

Maybe I thought you needed,
…………………………………………...
A little bit of me, 

Im literally a G,

Im really at fucking peace,

This music is my release where,

I can really be free,
…………………………………………...
I do this so frequently,

Its changing my frequency,

Don't even ask them to see me,

soon ill be on TV,  
…………………………………………..
Then, Damn
…………………………………………...

All de gyaldem wanna chill in my garden,

Aking like they care about the boy all sudden,

…………………………………………..
Well I saw dem, Im a star and,

I dont mind if you want it,

I dont start it,

I just spark,

and relax,

Im on my back then,
…………………………………………
She attacks

Break her back in

Pussy poppin

Yeah x4
……………………………………..

You wanna get some of dis aha,

See we could start with a kiss aha,

I see you oiling up the lips, aha
……………………………………...

Your body giving away,

The things you don't say, 

And if you want play,

These games then pray,

That you have got patience,
………………………………………
Cause my foreplay for,

Could last for days and,

Drive you crazy,
……………………………………………..

Cause Im a patient man,

I could and wait and then,

Wait again,

Till you want to take it in,
……………………………………….

It ain't a sin

This is where life begins,

We aint trying to have kids,
 
But we practicing,
……………………………………….

Baby your body language tells me everything I need to know,
You don't need to a say a word I have observed and you should know,
That if i'm feeling that way then I might just try take you to my home,
But don't be lying to my face that is the shit I can’t condone,
Cause Im better on my own x6
