STAND ALONE
By NOVA.J

I’ve seen the highs, I’ve walked the lows  
nothing’s promised, nothing’s owed  
When the world gets cold, and the lights go dim  
I don’t need your love; got strength within  

I’ll stand on my own, don’t need your hand  
I’ve built my life, on this shifting sand  
But I won’t fall, I’ll rise, I’ll grow  
Because I know how to stand alone  

Stand alone
I know how
To stand alone

love’s a gift, but it comes with chains  
I won’t trade freedom for all your pain  
I’ve walked through fire, been burned before  
 I’ve found my strength, I’m scared no more  
 
I’ll stand on my own, don’t need your hand  
I’ve built my life, on this shifting sand  
But I won’t fall, I’ll rise, I’ll grow  
Because I know how to stand alone  

Stand alone
I know how
To stand alone

And when night falls, and I’m all alone  
I know who I am, I’ve found my home  
I won’t fall, I’ll rise, I’ll grow  
Because I know how to stand alone  

Stand alone
I know how
To stand alone

And when night falls, and I’m all alone  
I know who I am, I’ve found my home  
I won’t fall, I’ll rise, I’ll grow  
Because I know how to stand alone  

Stand alone
I know how
To stand alone

Stand Alone

RAIN 雨
BY NOVA J

INSTRUMENTAL

Rain falls soft against my skin,
Washes all the pain within.
Every drop, a gentle call,
Soothing me, I feel it all.

Let it rain, let it flow,
Cleansing me, I let it go.
In the rain, I feel light,
Underneath, it feels so right.

INSTRUMENTAL 

雨水輕輕落下 (Yǔshuǐ qīngqīng luòxià),
帶走我的牽掛 (Dàizǒu wǒ de qiānguà)。
每一滴是希望 (Měi yī dī shì xīwàng),
治癒我的心房 (Zhìyù wǒ de xīnfáng)。

就讓雨一直下 (Jiù ràng yǔ yīzhí xià),
清洗所有牽掛 (Qīngxǐ suǒyǒu qiānguà)。
在雨中，我自由 (Zài yǔ zhōng, wǒ zìyóu),
我的心更平靜 (Wǒ de xīn gèng píngjìng)。

Let it rain, let it flow,
Cleansing me, I let it go.
In the rain, I feel light,
Underneath, it feels so right.

INSTRUMENTAL 

Raindrops fall 
Healing me 
I feel light 
Rain feels right

Let it rain 
Falling gently from above.
In the rain, I find peace,
雨中心更安靜 (Yǔ zhōng xīn gèng ānjìng)。

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic.
https://on.soundcloud.com/YGg4muhTLqh3m3vU7. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Here's exactly what your music streams support. We sponsor every day people of all ages struggling with behavioral health challenges that are commited to making a sincere change in their life towards their purpose. We match then with mentors for the long term. Learn more, https://www.voiceuplife.life/together.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.

SOMEONE YOUNGER by Nova J

Clock is turning, time is flying by,
World is burning, and so am I
Working nonstop, tryin’ to break through,
But now that spotlight’s pointed at Y.O.U.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

Bright shiny happy face, on a tiny screen.
No hair out of place, but what’s underneath?
Wrinkles don’t show when the filters on
But life’s sharp edges cut everyone.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.
There’s always someone charming,
Always someone new,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in you.

Run that race, climb that hill,
It’s never enough, but you do it still.
someone is out there watchin’ you,
Wishing they could fill your shoes.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.
There’s always someone charming,
Always someone new,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in you.

SOMEONE YOUNGER

U THINK U KNOW by Madre and Nova J

(Do you think?) You really know me?
(Do you see me?) You can control me?
(Watching me…) Looking for signs,
Trying to bend my mind—
I think it’s time you let go of me

(It was fun…) For a while
(Made me smile…) With your style
But now I see through the game
I can spot you from a mile—
Away ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

I know you think you’re so addictive
Your algorithm’s so predictive
But baby, this time I’m tapping out
No questions, no more doubts
Your influence is poison—wicked

(It was nice…) Till I changed
(Now it all…) Feels deranged
Got me trapped in your games
But I’m breaking the chains—
Away ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

I’m not a game to be played
(Not a pawn!) To be swayed
You can try, you can chase—
But you’ll never keep pace

With me
Oh, I’m free
Ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

You think you know
You think you know me
But you don’t
No, you don’t know me

U THINK U KNOW

SUELTA


I been down roads that never had signs,
Lost in the dark, steady wastin’ my time.
"Shadows in the Heart" had me blinded for years,
Love felt like a drug, but the comedown was fierce.

Pain made a home where my soul used to live,
I built up these walls, had nothin’ to give.
"No Second Guessing" but damn, I was wrong,
Thought love was a battle, not a place I belonged.

But then you came like a light in the night,
Didn’t rush me, just sat by my side.
Didn’t try to fix what was shattered inside,
Just held up a mirror, showed me real life.

(Now I see the sun where the rain once poured,)
(Love ain’t perfect, but it’s worth fightin’ for.)
(I was lost in the fire, burned by the past,)
(But now I’m reborn, found peace at last.)

Tears water into my life, love became the anchor of my soul,
I let go of the past, but the scars still hold.
It’s crazy how pain can shape what we see,
But through the hurt, you still believed in me.

Used to run from the dark, now I let it teach,
Ain’t about erasin’—it’s about findin’ peace.
"My Reason" wasn’t clear ‘til I saw it in you,
A love built in truth, somethin’ real, somethin’ new.

You ain't try to fix what was shattered inside,
Just held up a mirror, showed me real life.
No second-guessin', I know this is right,
The patient are winners, and I won this fight.

(Now I see the sun where the rain once poured,)
(Love ain’t perfect, but it’s worth fightin’ for.)
(I was lost in the fire, burned by the past,)
(But now I’m reborn, found peace at last.)

Sometimes we cry so we can let go,
Water the pain, watch the love start to grow.
No more runnin’, no more fear,
No more drownin’ in the tears.
Took the pain, made it mine,
Now I wear these scars with pride.

(Now I see the sun where the rain once poured,)
(Love ain’t perfect, but it’s worth fightin’ for.)
(I was lost in the fire, burned by the past,)
(But now I’m reborn, found peace at last.)

The storm came, but I found the center,
Took my whole life, but now I enter.
Love ain't just words, it's how you move,
It's the space you give, it’s the truth you prove.

I was lost… but now I see,
Reborn in love, finally free.

“Addicted to You” is a song about intense love and obsession, where you feel completely consumed by your feelings for someone. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, passion, and dependency, as if the love is a powerful addiction you can’t escape. The melody enhances the emotional intensity, blending desire with vulnerability. It’s a song that captures the overwhelming and sometimes uncontrollable nature of love, where the line between pleasure and pain becomes blurred.

Addicted to you

NEPO BABY by NOVA J

How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?
Silver spoon, private school, it’s so crazy, crazy, crazy
I got debt, they got jets, it’s just shady, shady
How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?

I showed up early, worked for free
Climbing ladders, scraping knees
They walked in late, got VIP
Cause daddy’s name’s on the marquee

I hustle, I grind, I beg, I plead
They sip champagne at 23
I send my emails, they skip the line
Cause their last name pays in dollar signs

How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?
Silver spoon, private school, it’s so crazy, crazy, crazy
I got debt, they got jets, it’s just shady, shady
How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?

No no nepo nepo, (no no nepo nepo)
Go go nepo nepo, (go go nepo nepo)

Auditioned twice, got ghosted fast
They roll out of bed and still get cast
I’m out here pitching, shooting shots
They just post a pic, call it a job

I write, I pitch, I pray, I wait
They roll out of bed with a six-figure rate
I build, I dream, I hustle, I plan
They get a Netflix deal from their Instagram

How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?
Silver spoon, private school, it’s so crazy, crazy, crazy
I got debt, they got jets, it’s just shady, shady
How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?

(Ohhh) Maybe I should change my name
(Ohhh) Fake connections, rig the game
(Ohhh) Sell my body, sell my soul
God I wanna run the show

No no nepo nepo, (no no nepo nepo)

How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?
I work twice as hard, but they’re still lazy, lazy, lazy
I got bills, they got deals, it’s just shady, shady
How can I compete with a nepo baby, baby?
