Written, recorded and produced entirely by the band, Naia along with younger brother Imani Elijah and boyfriend of 11 years, Lee John, “I’m Not Crazy” has an electrifying urban-reggae feel and is 5th in a series of 52 singles released Friday’s in 2020. Rich vocal textures and soaring guitar lines give satisfying contrast to key bass and trap and live drums. Lyrically, it’s the sharp dichotomy of innocent naïvité and trust in radical belief that draws you in.

“It doesn’t take a genius to follow a foolish heart” Naia sings during the bridge, showcasing an edginess in her voice that up until now, we’ve only heard live. In one moment you sense true vulnerability as she searches for signs that her dreams could actually come true, and the next, you’re met with a powerhouse who’s ready to take on the world.

I'm Not Crazy

Here is the 2nd single of 2020!  Come back every Friday for more.

Kinda Heavy

Hope in the Heartache (Lyrics)
By Naia Kete & SayReal 
(Naia, Lee John & Imani Elijah)

It’s too easy, way too easy to go down easy
In my prison of indecision I can’t keep up
I’m too worried, way too worried to be hurried
By while I’m hiding the world is waiting

You ain’t gotta be right 
You ain’t gotta be wrong
Ain’t gotta be tough
You ain’t gotta be strong
Don’t gotta look good
Don’t gotta feel bad
But you gotta work hard
For the things you have
Cause you’re gonna feel up
You’re gonna feel down
You’re gonna fly high 
And then you’ll hit the ground
When you feel the struggle baby
Know you’re not in trouble
You were born to bend
Born to break 
There’s Hope in the Heartache

You know that feeling, that painful feeling you keep concealing
That all this pressure won’t get better, why give a damn
It’s so heavy in my belly, I don’t feel ready
Through the hurt I’m fearing, gotta keep on breathing

You ain’t gotta be right 
You ain’t gotta be wrong
Ain’t gotta be tough
You ain’t gotta be strong
Don’t gotta look good
Don’t gotta feel bad
But you gotta work hard
For the things you have
Cause you’re gonna feel up
You’re gonna feel down
You’re gonna fly high 
And then you’ll hit the ground
When you feel the struggle baby
Know you’re not in trouble
You were born to bend
Born to break 
There’s Hope in the Heart

Heartache, giving me a reason to cry
Mistakes, giving me a reason to try
When the bad days come you don’t gotta run away
When the wound is stung you don’t gotta give in to the pain

You ain’t gotta be right 
You ain’t gotta be wrong
Ain’t gotta be tough
You ain’t gotta be strong
Don’t gotta look good
Don’t gotta feel bad
But you gotta work hard
For the things you have
Cause you’re gonna feel up
You’re gonna feel down
You’re gonna fly high 
And then you’ll hit the ground
When you feel the struggle baby
Know you’re not in trouble
You were born to bend
Born to break 
There’s Hope in the Heartache

Hope In The Heartache

I’ll Stay
By SayReal
Naia Kete, Lee John & Imani Elijah

Been spending lots of time around you lately
Wanna tell you how I feel but words escape me
I don’t ever wanna be without your company baby
Tell me do you feel the same about me 
And I wonder if you see the love that I see
Cause to tell the truth I think you drive me crazy baby

Don’t you ever go away 
Cause you know I want to stay
Don’t you ever go away
I’ll stay 

Well I am just trying to get to know ya
Cause I see a lot of strength you have inside ya
I know you could be a buffalo soldier
Take it from me iya
Well I am just trying to inspire
Cause you knowin that I see you go the fire
Let me tell you this is not about the pressure
Lay your head ‘pon me and rest yeah

Don’t you ever go away 
Cause you know I want to stay
Don’t you ever go away
I’ll stay 

Don’t leave me lonely
Don’t end our story
Just say you want me

Don’t you ever go away 
Cause you know I want to stay
Don’t you ever go away
I’ll stay

I'll Stay

Like a Runaway lyrics
by Naia Kete & SayReal

The silence hits me like a scream so loud
Everything I didn’t say 
Like an anchor oh it weighs me down
Lonely in the dissaray
I can’t feel without it
Who would I be without it 
Afraid of letting go of yesterday
I can hear tomorrow calling now
And I face it like a runaway

Like a Runaway
Like a Runaway

So connected but so far apart
Can’t hold your hand in cyber space
I want a friend but don’t know where to start
The downside of the digital age
We can’t feel without it
Who would we be without it 
Looks a lot like freedom in this virtual cage
A tiny prison like a house of cards

And I face it like a runaway

Like a Runaway
Like a Runaway
Face it like a runaway
Like a runaway, 
Like a like a runaway

And I think that I’m escaping something
But all these landmarks look the same
Trying hard to stifle something
But maybe I just can’t be tamed
Thought that I was moving forward
But I keep going round and round
Let me, let me, let me let me down

Like a Runaway

Like a Runaway

Take it Slow
By SayReal

I don’t like you, but I’d like to
You got that face that could 
Take my breath away
You’re like a statue, I’m so infatuated
What a waste of energy 
And space in games

Baby I’ll be blunt 
I want ya no need to front
Maybe we could take our time

I said oh oh oh 
Why don’t we take it slow
I said oh oh oh 
Baby just take it slow
I said oh oh oh 
Why don’t we take it slow
Don’t you worry 
We ain’t in a hurry

You impress me
The way your eyes undress me
I’m not ashamed to say
I kinda like your gaze

Baby I’ll be blunt 
I want ya no need to front
Maybe we could take our time

I said oh oh oh 
Why don’t we take it slow
I said oh oh oh 
Baby just take it slow
I said oh oh oh 
Why don’t we take it slow
Don’t you worry 
We ain’t in a hurry

Take it Slow

O.M.G Lyrics
by SayReal - Naia Kete, Lee John & Imani Elijah

What do I know if I know nothin 'bout myself
Tryin to decide where I belong but I can't tell
Drowning in anger I just won't make up my mind
I said Oh My God, Oh My God
I said Oh My God
I'm living just to die

Hand me the world and 
All that I do is complain
Seasons they changin
But it's just more of the same
All of these opportunities just passin by

I said Oh My God, Oh My God
I said Oh My God
I'm living just to die

Die, Die, I, I'm livin just to 
Die, Die, I, I'm livin just to 
And still I wonder why
Can't hold my head up high
I'm done with getting by
And livin just to die

Tell me how you livin
Tell how you feelin about you
Tell me how you feelin
Tell me how you livin with that truth
I said Oh My God, Oh My God
I said Oh My God
I'm living just to die

Who can tell me 'bout my story
All my pages come in stages

Die, Die, I, I'm livin just to 
Die, Die, I, I'm livin just to 
And still I wonder why
Can't hold my head up high
I'm done with getting by
And livin just to die
I'm livin just to die 
I'm livin just to die
Now we got you saying Oh My God
I'm livin just to die
