Lyrics:

The things you talk about you just don’t care
Just got to get your voice out up in the air
You’re talkin 'bout things you know that I wouldn’t dare
And you think your life in a nightmare

You've got to realize
You've got to get it right

Just got to realize that your life is no joke
Just got to settle down when you’re getting so choked
I think it’s time for you to go out for a smoke, so come on!

You've got to settle down
When you're spinnin' 'round
Got to settle down
When you're lost and found
So get your feet back on the ground
Got to settle down
Got to settle down
Woah woah oh oh

You’ve been acting like your mind's on the brink
Every night you go out and get yourself a drink
The things you say to me I don’t know what to think
If you get so high your life's gonna sink

You've got to realize
You've got to get it right

Just got to realize that your life is no joke
Just got to settle down when you’re getting so choked
I think it’s time for you to go out for a smoke, so come on!
 
You've got to settle down
When you're spinnin' 'round
Got to settle down
When you're lost and found
So get your feet back on the ground
Got to settle down
Got to settle down
Woah woah oh oh

Just got to realize that your life is no joke
Just got to settle down when you’re getting so choked
I think it’s time for you to go out for a smoke, so come on!

You've got to settle down
When your spinnin' 'round
Got to settle down
When you're lost and found
So get your feet back on the ground
Got to settle down
Got to settle down
Wooah oooh oh oh

Settle Down

Takin’ My Time paints a picture of balancing unspoken desire and the need for restraint.

Lyrics:

Takin’ my time, tryin' to make it right 
Tryin' to find my rhythm, I’ve been reading all the signs
Gave you a reason, now I’m givin’ you my rhyme
Don’t know what I’m doin’, I just do it to see you smile

I've been tryin’ so hard just to walk away 
I take my time when I don’t know what to say
If I lose my mind I know I've got to let it lay  
How is it a crime for you to make me stay
Just take my to your house baby

Can’t get my heart no protection
I don’t when to relax
Each step I take in the right direction
I’m takin’ 2 steps back

I've been tryin’ so hard just to walk away 
I take my time when I don’t know what to say
If I lose my mind I know I've got to let it lay  
How is it a crime for you to make me stay
Just take my to your house baby

I've been tryin’ so hard just to walk away 
I take my time when I don’t know what to say
If I lose my mind I know I've got to let it lay  
How is it a crime for you to make me stay
Just take my to your house baby

Takin’ my time, tryin' to make it right 
I've been finding my rhythm, I’ve been reading all the signs
Gave you a reason, now I’m givin’ you my rhyme
So take me to your house baby, just show me a lovin’ time
Don’t need to invitation, I just do it to see you smile
Take me to house baby, just let me know your mine

Don’t need to invitation, I’m just takin' my time
Takin' my time, takin' my time, takin my time, takin' my time

Takin' My Time

This is a song that is a conversation between a man and a woman. It's about a relationship that is hanging in the balance.

Lyrics:

No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me

​You don’t love me anymore
You try to settle up that score
And by the time that you get this
You’ll be on your way out the door

Cause everytime you’ve got me reelin'
I said that’s the way that I’ve been feelin' yeah

Cause everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady ah
And now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me yeah
Cause everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady ah
And now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me yeah
You don’t love me

No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
You don’t love me, oh yeah

You’ve been creepin' out that door
I think our love is worth fighting for
I’ll still be tryin’ to change your mind
But now I know, that you’re never gonna change

Cause everytime you’ve got me reelin'
I said that’s the way that’s I’ve been feelin' yeah 

Yo, everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady ah
And now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me
See everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady ah
And now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me yeah

You don’t love me
No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
No No, You don’t love me, oh no
You don’t love me
No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
No No, You don’t love me, yeah, no you don't

​It’s like a blast from the past  - the way you’re actin’ is spastic
Treatin’ me nasty - all my friends are askin’
Why you being so whack - I just wanted a piece
A little piece of the action 

​We were sittin’ back relaxin' - chillin’ to the max   
And the jams were blastin’ - when I felt your love
Well it was the maximum - but now I see
That you were my master 

​You’re always on the attack - got me feeling emasculated
Matter of fact - I couldn’t walk away faster
It’s like blasphemy - I’m just exasperated
Your love for me is plastic

You just need to relax - the things you do are so drastic
Real legit bombastic - doing mental gymnastics
My delivery - well you know it’s emphatic
I’m about to break free - and I’m gonna bask in it!

Cause everytime you’ve got me reelin'
That’s the way you've got me feelin'
But now I know, that you’ll walk out that door
Don’t tell me to believe

Cause everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady uh
Now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me
See everytime you check me out you say to me
You’re gonna leave my ass for another lady uh
Now you're checkin’ out, now you say to me

​You don’t love me, no no no, You don’t love me
No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
​You don't, you don't, love....me
No you don't, no you don't, no you don't love me
You don't love me, you don't love, you don't love me

You Don't Love Me

You Don't Love Me (Feat. Eliza Smith)

“Walkin’” captures the confident energy of emotional truth – an expressive declaration of love moving beyond friendship.

Lyrics:

I want to walk with you to the ocean
Open up my heart, show you my emotion
So many things to do, so many things to say
Baby we’ll be walkin’ 'till the break of day

I said all this time, I've been standing right by your side
Open up your world to me 
I've been waiting so long just to know you baby
Come take a walk with me

Baby we’ll be walkin 'till the break of day
I've got so many things, that I've got to say
Come on and take the time and baby we can play
We’ll be walkin’ 'till the break of day

Come on over girl and put your head upon my shoulder
I can’t remember all the days that I felt colder
Woah baby you’re the one, well you’re the one that makes me feel
When we walk to the ocean, you know that livin’ life is real

I said all this time, I've been standing right by your side
Open up your world to me 
I've been waiting so long just to know you baby
Come take a walk with me

Baby we’ll be walkin 'till the break of day
I've got so many things, that I've got to say
Come on and take the time and baby we can play
We’ll be walkin’ 'till the break of day

Only One

Walkin'

"Holdin’ On" captures that quiet ache of waiting—not out of fear, but out of respect. It’s about feeling the pull to move forward with someone, while choosing to stay still just a little longer, holding space for something real to unfold.

​Lyrics:

I've been waiting, all of my life
Just to give away, the love I have inside
I’m waiting patiently for this moment to confide
When I see you standing there, I want you by my side

It may be too soon to be feeling so strong
And there’s a good chance that the timing is all wrong
I’m wondering if you’re gonna let me tag along
If you do I’ll find the nerve to sing to you this song

I don’t want to wait no more
I hear your footsteps beside the door
I don’t want to wait now girl
I’m gonna step into your world
Wooohh I’m gonna step into you
Wooohh you know you'll feel it too

Ohhhh but I’m holding on
Ohhhh now I’m holding on
Ohhhh but I’m holding on
Ohhhh now I’m holding on 

The room was full of people, but all I saw was you
You were the only thing that came into my view
I’m waiting patiently, you know my heart is true
When I feel the time is right, you know I will break through
 
When you walk in I’m so entranced by what I see
When I close my eyes at night, your voice invades my being
I can’t last another day knowing things aren’t what they seem
If I wake up and find out that my hope is just a dream

I don’t want to wait no more
I hear your footsteps beside the door
I don’t want to wait now girl
I’m gonna step into your world
Wooohh I’m gonna step into you
Wooohh you know you’ll feel it too

Ohhhh but I’m holding on
Ohhhh now I’m holding on
Ohhhh but I’m holding on
Ohhhh now I’m holding on

Holdin' On
