The Tip Off

Something Real

Cookie Monster

[Verse 1]
cookie monster, call me that
’cause I go where the sugar at
lips like velvet, warm like that
you open slow—I lean right back

[Verse 2]
you ain’t gotta tell me nothin’,
your thighs do all the talkin’
I read the language in a hush
then dive in, no need for caution

[Verse 3]
mmm, you laugh when I say
"who baked this?"
but baby girl, it’s serious business
confection ain’t even the word—
this more like worship with mischief

[Verse 4]
cookie monster got his bib on
treat it like a rare song
slow licks, no skips—
this ain't fast food, girl, it’s ritual
every crumble, every kiss,
I memorize it like scripture
and you just shiver like
I been anointed by your nectar

[Verse 5]
you call me wild
I call it service

[Bridge]
I’m just here to study you,
down to the atoms of your purr
your legs sing lullabies
and I hum the blur

[Outro]
cookie... cookie...
monster in the sheets,
gentle in the feast
savorin' sweet
'til you asleep...

Girls Are Always Waiting at the Finish Line

Gave you time, gave you space
Held you down when you lost your way
Never judged, never changed
Played it cool when you act strange
Every fight, I take the fall
Even when I know it’s not my fault
You be out, I stay in
You get love, I don’t win

But I kept showin' up, even empty
Still gave you all when it drained me
You want me there when it’s good
But you gone when it’s heavy

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

You need space? I give that fast
I need time? You never ask
You make rules, I adapt
You break ‘em all and still get a pass
It’s always “you,” never “us”
Your mood swing and I adjust
I get quiet, you get loud
I hold peace, you hold crowd

I was down to ride, even solo
You just want the highs, not the low-low
I was yours, no Plan B
But you moved like you fancy

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

I loved you more than I loved me
And that’s where I lost peace
Now I’m done tryna compete
With your ego on repeat
Love don’t mean shit if it’s just mine
You only show up on your time
Don’t ask me why I’m gone cold
You made this bed  now it’s yours alone

This love ain't one way
You take and never give, then say I changed
Girl, I was all in  you played safe
If love’s a give and go, you just stay
No, this ain’t fair play
I held your pain while you looked away
Now you ask why I don’t feel the same
‘Cause love ain’t one way

One Way

This one is for the dreamers.
For those who’ve been through it and still rise.
For everyone trying to heal in a world that doesn’t always make space for it.
VENTURE is a reminder of how unshakable we are.
It’s personal. It’s vulnerable. It’s for us.
