Queen Bee lyrics, by Maesyn 

You think you know what you know, but i know you have no idea
You weren’t there, but you swear that you know what went down between us

Hey queen B, c’mon let’s talk about the men
‘cause you don’t seem to understand
 I’m not buying what you’re sellin’
Hey queen B, you want to dominate the land?
Well i suggest you take a seat
‘cause i’m gonna have to take a stand

You wanna be the queen B? You can have it
You want the popularity? You can have it
You try to diminish and gaslight me? Well you can have it     
Because I know what I got,, and I know who I am

V1
First time i met her, can’t forget her sharp and catty claws
I honored and respected her, showered her with applause
I was so happy for her that she found her love in life
with a man who used to introduce me to the world as his wife

She spewed a rainbow made of daggers, wrapped in swagger spines
All "love and light!" but damn her bite was fierce between the lines
Said she’s the best, bragged on her sex, with my Ex
Said she’s the only one he ever loved and ever wanted babies with

Well damn, now i don’t want to call him out and play the fool
but that’s the same shit that he said to me and to all the others too
I’d like to see her face if another lady takes her place
Someday and has the nerve to say the things she sprays on me like mace

(CH)
I say, 
You think you know what you know, but i know you have no idea
Well you weren’t there, but you swear that you know what went down between us

Hey queen B, come on let’s talk about the men
Cause you don’t seem to understand, I’m not buying what you’re selling
Hey Queen been, you want to dominate the land
Well I suggest you take a seat ‘cause I’m gonna have to make a stand

You want to be the queen bee, you can have it
You want the popularity, you can have it
Try to diminish and gaslight me? Well you can have it
Because i know what I got and I know who I am

V2 
Now there’s some ladies, you know I know you know the stereotype
Cruel, competitive, catty, insensitive, flaunting the hype of their archetype
They’ll tear a sister down to assert that they’re superior
but the ulterior motive is purely implosive, it’s freedom from feelin’ inferior

Once we were witches burning side by side on a raging pyre
Once we were priestesses, carrying secrets, tending the sacred fire
Once we were sisters, dancing wildly under the harvest moon
Once we were hand in hand, feet on the land, reading the stars and the runes
 
Well yes of course, we were loved by the same amazing men
And yes of course, we all know the ways of magic and medicine
And yes of course, our ancestors programmed us with adrenaline
But it’s our job to pollinate all of the flowers, empowering all that is feminine

Queen Bee

DREAMS lyric by Maesyn

(CH)
Dreams - there’s a reason that you have them
Dreams - well you know you gotta grab them
Dreams - Don’t you let your dreams drift away
Dreams - Got to follow intuition
Dreams - Trust yourself and your mission
Dreams - Work a little at ‘em every day

(V1)
I see you glowing like a beacon of perfection, 
standing right there in the skin that you wear,  a warrior of protection
You guard the things you believe, you know that you’re being breathed,
You guard the innocent inner child who gives you direction

I know that life can take its toll upon your passion, 
dragging you down like a smile to a frown, causing a heart contraction
You fall asleep to yourself, you put your soul on the shelf
You fall to weeping for the keeping of the fashion

(preCH)
Oh no, But Don’t give up
I say no, Don’t give up
Oh no no, Don’t give up
Cause you know you got to 

(CH)
Dream - there’s a reason that you have them
Dreams - well you know you gotta grab them
Dreams - DOn’t you let your dreams drift away
Dreams - Got to follow intuition
Dreams - Trust yourself and your mission
Dreams - Work a little at ‘em every day

(V2)

It seems that dreams 
can be a means to pull you at the seams, 
haunting & wanting & daring & daunting, 
can’t give ‘em up, can’t let ‘em go

You follow them, they swallow you, 
they bring perspective into view
A sense of mission pulls your ambition 
towards what makes you grow

You feel the rapture when you capture inspiration 
healing the fracture that led to the numbing of your imagination
You follow fate and destiny 
with positive expectancy
 It’s your intuition that turns the ignition on your emancipation

(preCH)
Oh no, But Don’t give up
I say no, Don’t give up
Oh no no, Don’t give up
Cause you know you got to 

(CH)
Dream - there’s a reason that you have them
Dreams - well you know you gotta grab them
Dreams - DOn’t you let your dreams drift away
Dreams - Got to follow intuition
Dreams - Trust yourself and your mission
Dreams - Work a little at ‘em every day

(BRIDGE)
Aaah oooh, aaah oooh
Aaaah ooooh, aaaah ooooh ah!

(preCH)
Oh no, But Don’t give up
I say no, Don’t give up
Oh no no, Don’t give up
Cause you know you got to 

(CH)
Dream - there’s a reason that you have them
Dreams - well you know you gotta grab them
Dreams - DOn’t you let your dreams drift away
Dreams - Got to follow intuition
Dreams - Trust yourself and your mission
Dreams - Work a little at ‘em every day

REDWOOD ROOTS

V
oh my love, she said
I grow the redwoods in my bones
Oh how it aches, my friend
A thousand years spent so alone

And this tree has been growing so long
reaching for the stars
that my roots have been burned like bones
buried in the fires
of my desires

PreCH
 But we know, we will rise
Like the waves and the tides
Yes we know we will rise
And let the ashes be our guides

CH
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
All the bursting and the aching
is the birthing of a star
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
Because the heart we feel is breaking
it lets the light. Back in.
The Light. Back In.

V
This flesh, was born
to build a ship to bring you home
So chop me down, I'm sworn
to be the substance of your throne

We were sewn from the threads of the sun
nebulas of light
And our love it will grow like the One
birthing through us into sight
taking flight

PreCH
 But we know, we will rise
Like the waves and the tides
Yes we know we will rise
And let the ashes be our guides

CH 
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
All the bursting and the aching
is the birthing of a star
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
Because the heart we feel is breaking
it lets the light. Back in.
The Light. Back In.
  
BR
We're the same
I am with you
We're the same
I am for you
We're the same
I am in you
We're the same
I adore you

CH
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
All the bursting and the aching
is the birthing of a star
Got to burn what we were
To become what we are
Because the heart we feel is breaking
it lets the light. Back in.
The Light. Back In.

IT'S ALL GOOD lyrics
*
The mother of lyric invention,
The father of sense and ascension -
I beckon you into my life
I reckon you cut like a knife
*
So let's slice through the layers 
of misspoken prayers
From lungs 
onto tongues
And then into thin air
Unplug as i turn out the light
Prayer rug is a Symbol of Sight
*
It's All Good
It's All Good
*
I found my way home to the islands
And buried like bones in the black sands
Were the fossils of old paradigms
Revealed by the melting of Time
Intent upon purification
I came seeking divine inspiration
Well I knew it was all in my mind,
whispers of "If you seek you will find that it's..."
*
It's All Good
It's All Good
*
And we grow, and we grow, and we grow
And we know what we know, what we know, what we know is that...
*
We are morphing amoebas of energy
We emerge from the earth in the place that she bleeds
"But it's alright" ... (whispers on the breeze)
"Just you hold tight. Sew me up when you breathe."
* 
We are dwarfing history's story
With magnification of roots on the tree
One eye on the vision,
Just make the decision
God's gonna get you eventually
*
It's All Good
It's All Good
*
And we grow, and we grow, and we grow
And we know that we know
What we know that we know.

It's All Good

CONSENT
by Maesyn
co-produced by Maesyn & Daniel Konscious Krieger

<<LYRIC:>>
Got under my skin, where do i begin? 
Oh my love you need to learn a thing or two, yeah
Thought you were my kin, but to my chagrin
You keep on takin' so I'll give advice to you

CHORUS
It's called Consent
Make me want it in the worst way, baby take your time, love me up and down
It's called Consent
Don't you try to coerce me, got to make me thirsty
It's called Consent
You got to slow it down firstly, If you gon' deserve me
It's called Consent
You got to call and connect me, prioritize the neck, eye contact, don't just flip me and reverse me

VERSE 1
Well next thing you know, he was rushin' me
Pressurin' and touchin' me, his r-r-roughness was crushin' me
Not impressin' me, rippin' and undressin' me
Rushin', stressin', transgressin' and oppressin' me - what?

Now I confess that at first i acquiesced, 
Froze and couldn't begin to express what I'd prefer from his caress
Like subtlty, more finesse, merge the breath, he'd best impress me with his tender attentiveness

Nevertheless, let me reassess the ways I self-suppress
And repressed my truth by not addressing his excessiveness
Freedom of the press, I'd rather coalesce and merge the heartbeat, the breath
make it sweet and make it blessed

Got under my skin, where do i begin, oh my love you need to learn a thing or two
Thought you were my kin, but to my chagrin, You keep on takin' so I'll give advice to you
It's called Consent, It's called Consent

CHORUS
It's called Consent
Make me want it in the worst way, baby take your time, love me up and down
It's called Consent
Don't you try to coerce me, got to make me thirsty
It's called Consent
You got to slow it down firstly, If you gon' deserve me
It's called Consent
You got to call and connect me, prioritize the neck, eye contact, don't just flip me and reverse me

VERSE 2
Now let me break it down to rudimentaries
Spend time and tenderness activating the sensory
You got to cuddle me, snuggle me, melt me into a puddle
And inquire what my boundaries meant to me

My no is not a casual suggestion
So I suggest you pause and consider this reflection
I require introspection, deep connection and affection
The respectful patience to wait for my Hell Yessin'!

Trace me tenderly, bend with me, come transcend and be a friend to me
Inquire as to all that lies within
Gentle nibbles all over my vessel, give me a nook in which to nestle
Pucker your prayers reverently upon my skin

I need you to savor the depths of my flavor
Drink deep upon my lips, turn holy water into wine
Spend hours devour the power of eye contact, 
Let's attract, breathe with me, blow my mind

Build elation and anticipation face to face until the beat of our hearts' adoration is aligned, what?

VERSE 3
Now I'm a sophisticated human, I spent lifetimes bloomin,
groomin', improvin' and cultivating my creche,
This place where consciousness is born
Adore the mind-heart-spirit-soul
Or I can never surrender my sacred flesh

I'm a lovebug, a nurturer, a giver of celebration
When you melt my skin you'll find within the sweetest of vibrations
I'm a lioness, a guardian, a warrior and a queen
I protect, refine and reflect the divine, I keep my temple clean

Want to witness the richness of all your splendor
I want to build a nest that's safe for your surrender
To meet your dark and your light, your bark and your bite
The way you look at life and use your second sight to root deep in your center

Know yourself, grow yourself, take the time to slowly show yourself
I need to know the depths of who you've been
The umbilical cord of your purity, the cosmic core of maturity
the regality of the tonality within

Build the foundation, the anticipation, the facin' to facin', the synchronization, until our sensations are subtly synched and aligned

CONSENT - Maesyn

MONK lyrics

Clean and clear, the mind of a monk
Wade through the water to a stone that has sunk

Found the original sin in the den of the din
Poison addiction and the rich man’s poor.
Silence so noisy that we can’t tune in 
Electricity out in a light bulb store

CH
And Time will tell of those who told of time.
Cause the clock in my wrist is holy, divine is all
The angels and the devils crawl hand in hand
When the bonfire falls

As we sit in the moonlight
Sunbeams filling us with dew
I wonder ‘bout the frog that took flight
When reflection told the surface “that’s not you”

Spit the fire, burn the face
Mauling of the mental race
Eat the sticks and molten stones
Grind the worry with the bones

CH
And Time will tell of those who told of time.
Cause the clock in your wrist is holy, divine is all
The angels and the devils crawl hand in hand
When the bonfire falls

BR
And through the darkness cuts the light
On phoenix beating wings
Pulsing through evenings
When the circuit is closed the fever will ignite

I knew a man who knew too much
Or so his head was saying
He told me what he thought he thought
He thought his speech was praying

He said “I am getting higher”
I said “I am going deeper”
He said “You are not a master”
I said “love you are my teacher.”

And Time will tell of those who told of time.
Cause the clock in our wrists are holy, divine is all
The angels and the devils crawl hand in hand
When the bonfire falls

Monk

WALK YOU lyrics


The father to my setting sun
Mother of my daughter, deaf and dumb
I attack with pain , my love
I am lucid and insane, my love
And you join me
You adjoin me
With your love

CH
Set aside, set aside, set aside this ego , we gonna let go
Let it die, let it die, let it die, let it die, oh this ego, we gonna let go
Let go let love

Come under some wary sheets, askew 
and painted with our tainted points of view
Fall to me, a bird in suicide, 
fall to my knees, lest I deny
This sacrifice, this sage advice
Akin to the lessons written on my skin
In foreign languages
Of foreign anguishes of love

CH
Set aside, set aside, set aside this ego , we gonna let go
Let it die, let it die, let it die, let it die, oh this ego, we gonna let go
Let go let love

BR
I would walk you,
I would take your pulse
I would walk you
I’d take your pulse in mine
Love

I recognize with heavy eyes the conflict of our intimate relations
And had I ever recognized that blue it rusts when bound by ties
I might have sooner come to revelations
The spoiled beneath composted limitations
The we placed on
Our love love love

Walk You

ICED FLEA lyrics

V
A deep hit pulled off the lips
Of my sugar-lipped love nugget
Couldn’t tell where I fell
But the hole now you know I dug it
was obscene, like a dream
Now I’ve certainly gone and done it
Not my scene, not my theme, 
So I floated to rise above it, hup, hup!

CH
(instrumental)

V
I stood unglued outside his igloo
When he asked me to fetch some cubes
Some kind of ice, wasn’t nice
When he dug ‘em from under my shoes
Seems to me this kind of flea
Tries to go where he don’t belong
He burrows deep ‘till I can’t sleep
Then he offers to come along, hey! Hey!

(quoth the Iced Flea of Negativity)
So, I was thinking about it, and I tell you what,
I’m just going to come along and sit right here behind y our ear
And give you some unsolicited opinions, some judgments, 
some criticisms,. Whadda ya say?”
 
CH
You don’t know me, but you don’t try to
Want to own me? I’m gonna buy you
It’s the irony of taking the life 
of a surgeon made you bleed ‘cause she cut you with a knife

V
A man I knew said I do to a $35 --- (gasp!)
When he awoke, he was broke, she was long gone on out the door
He bought a pearl for his girl, but she spit it up like it was sand
Seems to me his empathy was ashin’ like the Marlboro Man

CH
You don’t know me, but you don’t try to
Want to throw me into the bayou
It’s the irony of shooting down south, 
at a fox running wild with a rabbit in its mouth

BR
There you go just walkin’ all over me, 
There you go, just the way you said you’d be
There you go, walkin’ all over me again, again and again
There you go just walkin’ all over me,
There you go, just the way I knew you’d be
There you go, walkin’ all over me, again and again and again

V
I stood unglued outside his igloo
When he asked me to fetch some cubes
Oh, it wasn’t nice, when I dug them from under his shoes
It seems to me this kind of flea 
always tries to go where he don’t belong
I won’t let him get to me 
I won’t let him come along
No no,

Move along, move along, Hup hup!
(Hey,uh, where you going?)
Move along, move along. Hup hup!
 (I’ll change I swear!)
Move along, move along, move along.
(Don’t leave me, noooo….)
Hup hup!

Iced Flea

THUMBS lyrics

V
He takes it in stride as he breaks his pace
Counts his bills by the looks on their faces
The devil’s swimming in a deep oasis
He knows what he knows on a need to know basis

He is everyman, he is the only one
He does what he can, he has not yet begun
I scratch the surface with the tip of my thumb
He wants to stop but he can’t stop coming

CH
Over and over and over and over

V
Well Holly climbs the ladder by the wooden braces, 
She sees herself through the looks on their faces
Don’t know what she likes, just knows what the craze is
Bite the index and you say your graces

CH
Over and over and over

V
She is everyman, she’s not the only one
She does what she can, she has not yet begun
I scratch the surface with the tip of my thumb
She wants to stop but she can’t stop coming

Over and over and over and over.

BR
You hoop the hula around your hips
Hold the habit on the tip of your lips
Drama addiction, you get your kicks
Hang like a cigarette, get your fix
You circle, circle, circle on
You circle, circle, circle on

Shake it, shake it, shake it down down,
Shake it, shake it, shake it off now

V
We buy the disguise trying to save face
Different locations, the very same place
You cross the bottom line when you run those races
Round and around but the view it never changes

CH
Over and over and over.
‘Round and ‘round

Thumbs

SHH UP!

V
Bring it back, bring it back to the beginning of time
Bring it back, let’s begin at the beginning of mind
To recognize the disguise, it’s definitive
That we create love and hate, we’re unlimited
(A-hey!)
Sweat on the tongue so I bite back negation,
Gulp down affirmative self regulation
(A-Hey!)
Tastes so sweet but it chews so bitter
Down on my knees when I pick up the litter

CH
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up
Shh, Up
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up

POST CHORUS
I’m listening, I’m wishin; that you’d talk to me, Just talk to me.
I’m listening, I’m bringing in that which will set me free

V2
If we took a little time in the morning to sit with our skin say grace for the pouring sun
If we took a little time in the evening to let go of the day and release to the healing drum

CH
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up
Shh, Up
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up

BRIDGE
I’m diggin’ it, I’m digging at the space beneath the hole
I’m diggin’ it, I’m diggin at the surface like a mole
And while I’m winding down that wiley rabbit hole
I burrow in the sound of the silence of my soul

CH
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up
Shh, Up
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up

V3 (breakdown)
I strain your lemons through my sifter
I strain your vodka through my liver
I strain to find the peace of mind to help me shift here
If I don’t set my course I fear I’ll run adrift here

CH
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up
Shh, Up
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up

POST CHORUS
I’m listening, I’m wishin; that you’d talk to me, Just talk to me.
I’m listening, I’m bringing in that which will set me free

CH
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up
Shh, Up
Let’s talk about it, what about if we could learn to shut up

V4
Ba- dap, da bap ba dap bad ah
Shh shh shhh
You want to understand you know you got to sit there

Shh Up!

AND IT GOES

You kill me
The way your eyes electrocute me
Like atoms shooting through me
I’m unborn

You blow me away
With the insightful things you say
Dissolving my defenses
Evaporate my senses and I’m home

CH
Just stop thought and let it go
And it goes
Just surrender to what you know
And it goes
You gotta let it ignite your glow
And you glow
If you’ve got to burn to learn to live,
Oooh, what a way to go

There was a man who lived his life sharpening knives
Picking bones all alone with strangers.
Funny how the meat is gone but the teeth keep gnawing on and on
Carving out impressions of the danger and the anger
And the incremental pain that they might gain, 
you know it’s what you’re planning for
Ahhhh
So He set his soul on fire, now he’s a blazing funeral pyre
He says you give the horns, you get the bull
And now I’m full, now I’m full of love

CH
Just stop thought and let it go
And surrender to what you know
And it goes, hey!
You gotta let it ignite your glow, and you glow
If you’ve got to burn to learn to live
Ooooh, what a way to go

V
You kill me, with your nicotine laughter, 
One drag I’m falling fast and then I’m done
You blow me to pieces the way you undermine my treasons
Rewinding all my seasons till I’m home

CH
Just stop thought, and let it go
And surrender to what you know
And it goes, hey!
You gotta let it ignite your glow
And you glow
If you got to burn to learn to live
What a way to go

You gotta sit yourself down on the ground
Bring it down down down, he’ll show you the way to go

V
You kill me with your nicotine laughter
One drag I’m falling fast and then I’m done.

And it Goes

WITHIN, WITHOUT lyrics

V
The dirt is mulching in this garden of mind
The chiseled bone is chipping and leaving dust behind
The seeds are aching, breaking, straining for the sky
And underneath the thorns and the stones are the secrets of the Nile

CH
I’m within me, and without you
When I doubt me, then I doubt you
Fear is isolation from the home

V
Shampoo the roots of over conditioned points of view
The serpent home is stirring in the bones and stretching the sinew
Seven circles hibernating, breath beneath the mind
You just seek the silence of the self and in the space that you create you there shall find thee

CH
I’m within me, and without you
When I doubt me, then I doubt you
Fear is isolation from the home

BR
I am one with the wind with every breath
Within the world's womb with every step
And my eyes deceive my mind
And my mind deceives my eyes
And the quested question then becomes
who is telling who the lies?
(who, who?)
You, YOU!

CH
I’m within me and without you
When I doubt me, then I doubt you
Fear is isolation from the home.

V
The man is sitting quietly, smiling to himself
The dust is disappearing from the books upon the shelf
A river dammed and drained, it loses sight of source
It stagnates as it searches and it lurches, 
Longing for its course
Of course!
Oh, ah! Oh, ah!

CH
I’m within me and without you
When I doubt me, then I doubt you
Fear is isolation from the home.
