art of war

twin flame

‘Cry in Shame’ is about the pain of realizing they never saw the love you gave until it was too late. I gave him everything—my heart, my trust, my soul—and he didn’t treat it like it mattered. And now that I’m gone, now that I’ve finally walked away, he wants to feel something. But it’s too late. This song is me letting it all out—the heartbreak, the anger, the disappointment. If he’s crying now, it’s not out of love—it’s out of guilt. And that’s the real shame… not that it ended, but that he didn’t value it when it was real.

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. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

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.



God’s Love (In Your Love)

Dependent (on your love)

"Split Affection" is that late-night emotional tug-of-war I wrote from deep inside — the kind where love and pain sleep in the same bed. It’s about two men caught in that silent storm, still craving each other, still feeling the electricity... but torn by trust, timing, or just life getting in the damn way.

It’s that moment when your body still remembers, but your heart ain’t sure anymore. One minute you’re locked in each other’s arms, the next you're facing opposite directions, both pretending like it doesn’t hurt.
This ain’t just a breakup track — it’s a confessional. Smooth R&B vibes, soft trap drums, and raw masculinity dripping from every lyric.

This song is the mirror crack — where you still see pieces of the love, but nothing lines up like it used to.

Split Affection

SLIDE

Love Don't Exist

(Mm… yeah...)
So much depends on you…
And what you do tonight.
I’m waitin’...

So much depends upon what you do
Will I pull you close... or pull away from you?
We’re dancing on edges, threads made of heat
But I ain’t fallin’—not without a leap

Together we touch like fire and fate
Creating a rhythm we both contemplate
Do you want this real, or just the game?
I feel the question burn your name
“Say yes... or don’t say nothin’…” “Mm... ”

Please keep readin’ if your answer’s true
Don’t just want love—I want all of you
You say we’re buildin’? Then lay that brick
But one wrong move, and I’m gone so quick

Will you be there for me?
When it’s not easy to breathe
When the lights go low and I bare my soul
Will you hold me close or just let me go?
It’s more than touch, it’s the trust we grow
Will you be there... or leave me cold?
“Be there… be there… or disappear…”

Hand in hand, lips to lips, that kiss got code
But are you loyal, or just playin' roles?
I don’t do halfway, I don’t fake flames
You wanna build love? Then speak my name

I got trauma in my past, shadows in my bed
But you pull me in when you tilt your head
You say you’re down? Then prove that truth
'Cause baby, much depends on what I do too
“It’s mutual…” “Prove it…”

What’s love for… if not for us?
If I dive in deep... will you break the trust?
Tell me soft, tell me slow
Will you stay when the lights get low?

Will you be there for me?
When it’s dark and I can’t see
When I give you the part I never show
Will you love me deep or let it go?
So much depends on what we do
If I love you... will you love me too?
“Be the truth...”

Everything depends...
on your next move.
(So what’s it gonna be…?)

HOPELESS ROMANTIC. STREET-BORN. SOUL-WRITTEN.
I don’t write songs. I live them.
Every verse bleeds. Every bar breathes. Every line carries truth.
I don’t chase clout. I craft emotion.
My words have weight — they lift, they break, they heal.
This is lyrical fire. This is emotional depth. This is rplayin.
Welcome to my world.
Where rhythm speaks what the heart can’t say.
Where nothing is off-limits — not the pain, not the passion, not the past.
Let the words play.
Let the feelings in.
Search “rplayin” and feel the story.
