Careful - A Guide to Rational Living

Original song by me

Lyrics:

It's something I always think about,
It's something I couldn't live without
But the trouble in my mind said its gonna take some time to forget about
There's one thing that I could try and do
It's insane, but I heard it worked for you
Trying not to care, its a bold move if dare say, but its true

Never thought that listening to what they had to say about me
Would cause me not to trust myself
Instead, you told me to not think about what others can see
I guess if it helps

It's one thing I can try for sure
"Never let them get to me, I'll just be myself"
Maybe this could really work
Never thought not caring about what they think could help
Self-confidence never hurt
I just didn't think indifference would come to play
It's one thing I can try for sure
Who knows, if this goes well then I might be okay!

"Miss Me"— written, recorded, and performed by @AmareSymone @hellaohdeecreative crib. It's a song about wellness through self-preservation. This is what it sounds like when you choose yourself...

LYRICS:
Intro: [Scatting]

Verse 1:
Pick up my phone like who’s blinging me? / Won’t pick up my fingers to answer your rings / Maybe had I known my worth then this wouldn’t be / In the end of all this shit, I’ll be choosing me ‘cause… / 

Verse 2:
Ain’t no more chances (No) / Ain’t no more talkin’ (No No No No) / Ain’t no more sorries / Ain’t no more promises / And I am sick and tired of being sick and tired / No more using my tears to calm your fires

Chorus: 
You gon’ miss me / You gon’ miss me when I’m gone / You gon’ miss me / You gon’ miss me ‘cause you wrong / You gon’ miss me / You gon’ miss me when I’m gone / You gon’ miss me / You gon’ miss me ‘cause you wrong 

Bridge:
That’s it / That’s all / Pride goes before the fall / I did my best / I did my part / It’s all above me now / That’s it / That’s all / Pride goes before the fall / I did my best / I did my part / It’s all above me now

Outro:
Yeah I said it / Yeah right I fucking said it / Who gon’ check me? / Like I’m the one that you could play with / Imma be up on my grind / You gon’ miss me / In due time / Yeah I said it / Yeah right I fucking said it/ Who gon’ check me? / Like I’m the one that you could play with / You’ve done fucked up this time / And I’m not even in my prime
