“Be nice, they say. Do the right thing, they say. Don’t be selfish, they say…”
This song is for anyone who’s ever been dismissed, silenced, or told to conform.

Listen To Me is not about rebellion for rebellion’s sake—it’s about reclaiming your voice after being spoken over for too long. It’s honest, raw, and a little uncomfortable. Because the truth usually is.

I wrote this as a reflection of my own experience—caught between expectations, judgments, and pressures.
This is what it sounds like when you decide to speak anyway. To speak up, not out.

I hope you take a moment. Let it play. And maybe this time, really listen.

This song came from a moment when I couldn’t get a word in.
Courtrooms, calls, conversations—people saying listen to me like I wasn’t already trying.

This one’s for all the times I stayed quiet and got trampled.
And also for that lawyer—Frank—who told me to listen like I wasn’t human.

So now, I’m saying it back:
Listen.
It’s my turn.
I’ll let you speak next.
But I ain’t saying it twice.

🎙️ Lyrics:
[Intro]
Be nice, they say.
Do the right thing, they say.
Don't be selfish, they say.

[Demanding]
Go work, they say.

[Resistance]
Listen!!!
Listen!!!
Well, I am nicely going to say—

[Verse 1 – Explanatory]
I have been doing the right thing.
As right as I know.
Who are you to say what is right?

[Verse 2]
And why do you keep calling me selfish?
Who are you?
I am myself.
I ain't you.
You ain't me.
How about you stop being "demandish" and "tellish"?

[Verse 3]
And you want me to go work?
Work on what?
Work for who?
I ain’t gonna work for you.
I work for me.
That is the only thing we should all work for.
You just leave it to me—
how I decide to do that,
what I want to work on,
and what I am capable of working on.

[Chorus]
Are you listening?
You listen to me!
Let’s be fair, and take turns.
Hold on—let me finish.

[Verse 4]
I know that what I am saying
might sound arrogant
or downright foolhardy,
but don’t you worry about a thing—
I will accept the consequences.
I will take whatever comes back,
but there wasn’t enough coming back
from what I was sending forward,
so time to change things up a bit.

[Bridge]
Ok, your turn.
Go ahead.
I will listen now.
I hope you listened to me.
If not,
I can just rewind and push play again.

[Outro]

LISTEN TO ME

There’s a new scam that’s going around where you receive a cheap (but pretty) adjustable ring in the mail along with some business cards and a QR code to scan to learn more about who sent it and why. &nbsp; Unfortunately, many who have scanned this QR code discovered it took them to a link that then installed malware on their computer. Others have reported that it gave the scammers automatic access to their banking information, although that’s probably not what happened unless they actually put their banking information into a webform on that page. &nbsp; What’s MORE likely and YOU want to be aware of, is that some sites can install monitoring software on your computer or phone that then monitors the next time you use your bank ap, scrapes the information from your login, and then sends THAT to the scammers. &nbsp; In this episode, we cover:  What this ring scam is and how to protect yourself Your obligation to respond to or pay for mail you receive but didn’t order How you could go to jail for opening up mail addressed to someone else (and what you should do with it) What to do with those rings and seeds you’re about to get in the mail  &nbsp; Class Schedule: Every 1st Thursday: Fireside Chat (Money Q&amp;A) Every 2nd Thursday: 7-Figure Business Building Every 3rd Thursday: Real Estate Investing 101 Every 4th Thursday: Empowered Entrepreneur Every 5th Thursday: Wildcard or replay &nbsp; How to watch?

Episode 501: New Malware Attacks and How to Protect Yourself

&nbsp;Ok Y’all, every time I make a “Juneteenth Update” video, seems like it’s immediately out-of-date when new information comes in the next day. I had NO IDEA when we selected Fort Worth, a couple years ago, for the site of our 2025 session, that there would be so much history converging in this part of Texas at the same time as our conference I thought I would retire from the military in 2024 (funny how life derails the best laid plans) and so I picked the metropolitan area closest to my husband. Next year we’ll be in Tulsa and 2027 will be in Kansas City. Things keep changing - hopefully will settle soon. But rather than keep delaying getting info out, I'm publishing this so you get a general feel. For the most up-to-date info, please visit JuneteenthLegacy.com What’s different from the video?

Episode 502: An Already Out-Of-Date Juneteenth Legacy Update

Question: I’ve moved to "Small Town" Texas and opened up a studio. Other places I’ve lived, I have easily filled classes, but it’s been 2 years and I’m having trouble getting students. This question actually came from someone I met at TMEA, the Texas Music Educators Association Annual Conference. They stopped by my “Ask the Money Maestro” Booth, and I’m so glad they did! What I’m going to share with you will work for not just Texas but many southern, rural, or sparsely populated areas, especially communities that are deep in agriculture or are based in ag (such as his "Small Town") If they don’t know you, your momma, your grandma, and your great grandma, it’s gonna take a lot of work for them to buy from you. If you look different from the main populace of the town, it’s gonna take a lot of work for them to buy from you. If you look like the main populace of the town but don’t speak their primary language, it’s gonna take a lot of work for them to buy from you If you have a strong accent or ANYTHING else about you that signifies “different” and “outsider,” it’s gonna take a lot of work for them to buy from you. It’s gonna take a LOT of effort, but once you’re accepted by your new community, you will have loyal business for life. &nbsp; Class Schedule: Every 1st Thursday: Fireside Chat (Money Q&amp;A) Every 2nd Thursday: 7-Figure Business Building Every 3rd Thursday: Real Estate Investing 101 Every 4th Thursday: Empowered Entrepreneur Every 5th Thursday: Wildcard or replay &nbsp; How to watch?

JJ walks you through the process of foreclosure consulting including how to handle acquiring the property in jurisdictions that allow foreclosure consultants to buy the property. BEWARE: In some states, if you advertise that you can help people "avoid foreclosure" or help "stay in their home" you are not allowed to purchase the property. Avoid jail and fines by learning your local laws and connecting with the local real estate investors association, where you can learn what works and what doesn’t for your local area. &nbsp; Join the Foreclosure Consulting 101 Workship Sat 31 May: https://jjclink.com/FC &nbsp;  &nbsp;@JuneteenthLegacy  https://events.eventnoire.com/e/juneteenthlegacy2025 &nbsp; &nbsp; Class Schedule: Every 1st Thursday: Fireside Chat (Money Q&amp;A) Every 2nd Thursday: 7-Figure Business Building Every 3rd Thursday: Real Estate Investing 101 Every 4th Thursday: Empowered Entrepreneur Every 5th Thursday: Wildcard or replay &nbsp; How to watch?

Everything Is Fine

Everything Is Fine (Experimental Worldbeat)

In today’s vlog, I dive into my recent exploration of sexual vocabulary — and why learning to use these words can transform how you express yourself.

This isn’t about shock value. It’s about honesty, confidence, and speaking without fear.

I explain why adding raw, sexual language into your everyday conversation can help you:
– Express desire more clearly
– Drop shame and hesitation
– Connect with women on a more visceral level

Whether you're a coach, creator, or just a man trying to get better with women — this one's worth listening to.

Episode 521: Your Job Is To See The Future

[Verse 1]
Mirrorball mind, spinning in my hallway —
Outfit check, I’m a prism on a Friday.
Sneakers to stilettos, mood switch in a snap,
Bass in my headphones, I’m already where it’s at.
Mom said “Be safe,” I said, “Don’t worry, I’m art —
A thousand little pieces, still a single beating heart.”
Hailing that cab like a queen in a crown,
City lights flicker while I melt my doubts down.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, every street, it’s a new shade —
I’m a puzzle, I’m a pattern, I’m a light parade.
When the door swings open, it’s a technicolor dream —
DJ spins my worries into laser beam streams.

[Chorus]
Life’s a kaleidoscope, twist and it changes —
We’re shapes in the dark, rearranged and dangerous.
Hands in the air, lose the fear, let it go —
If you find me tonight, you’ll see my soul in the glow.
Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope —
Colors collide, we’re alive in this flow.
Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope —
On this dance floor, we’re diamonds in the snow.

[Verse 2]
Spot you by the speakers, you’re a fractured flame —
Smile’s like a secret, and I’m wild for the game.
I’m rapping in your ear, body syncs to the beat —
We’re breaking all the angles, making shadows retreat.
Past’s a mosaic, future’s in your eyes —
I see every version of myself in that light.
We spin like vinyl, scratch the surface — nah,
Tonight we’re galaxies in glitter, no facade.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh, every glance, it’s a new spark —
Shifting shapes in the dark, this is how we leave marks.
When the dawn creeps up, will you still see the same?
A kaleidoscope connection, never twice the same.

[Chorus]
Life’s a kaleidoscope, twist and it changes —
We’re shapes in the dark, rearranged and dangerous.
Hands in the air, lose the fear, let it go —
If you find me tonight, you’ll see my soul in the glow.
Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope —
Colors collide, we’re alive in this flow.
Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope —
On this dance floor, we’re diamonds in the snow.

[Bridge] (spoken rap, dreamy)
See me in fragments —
Broken glass makes rainbows, baby,
We’re tangled up in patterns —
Infinite, insane, maybe.
Your lips taste like tomorrow,
Your hands feel like right now —
In this mirrorball moment,
No questions, no doubts.

[Outro Chorus]
Yeah, life’s a kaleidoscope, we’re shifting inside it —
Got no map for the night, but we’re down to ride it.
So hold me like we’re stardust and sparks on rewind —
We’re a thousand little pieces — perfectly combined.

KALEIDOSCOPE

"Unapologetic" is a heartfelt anthem for the LGBTQIA+ community and anyone who has ever felt judged just for being themselves.

It's a song about pride, identity, and standing strong in the face of hate – without ever apologizing for who you are.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Why do we have to say sorry just for being who we are
While you keep throwing stones and drawing crooked lines in scars
You preach your twisted version of a world so black and white
But all you ever show is fear dressed up as right!

Pre-Chorus
You call it sickness, call it shame!
But maybe you should check your name!
Look in the mirror, face the truth
It isn't me, it's you!

Chorus
We are millions, colors bright!
Living loud, refusing fright!
You can't erase us, can't define
Who we love or how we shine!
Stop pretending you're the sane!
When you're the ones who breed the pain!
The world is bigger, hearts are wide
We won't apologize for pride!

Verse 2
You keep forcing your illusions on every single soul
As if your narrow rules were carved in unbreakable stone
There's no blueprint for existence, no one way to belong
And your fear won't change the fact you're desperately wrong!

Pre-Chorus
You call it twisted, call it sin!
But all that hate comes from within!
Look at yourself and realize
Your normal's just a lie!

Chorus
We are millions, colors bright!
Living loud, refusing fright!
You can't erase us, can't define
Who we love or how we shine!
Stop pretending you're the sane!
When you're the ones who breed the pain!
The world is bigger, hearts are wide
We won't apologize for pride!

Bridge
Why should we keep explaining what you never want to hear?
Why should we keep defending just to soothe your hollow fear?
We've been here forever, we'll be here when you are gone!
This rainbow never fades, it's fierce, it's brave, it's strong!

Final Chorus
We are millions, colors bright!
Living loud, refusing fright!
You can't erase us, can't define
Who we love or how we shine!
Stop pretending you're the sane!
When you're the ones who breed the pain!
The world is bigger, hearts are wide!
We won't apologize for pride!

Unapologetic - Duraldon

I wrote this song when I was fighting back against social anxiety at school. I sang it live and got liked by many people on youtube. I called it forever paralyzed because it's not something you can heal from, hence the name, but i had to make friends with it and that allowed me to finally tap into my strength and allow fear to be my ally. I hope you can feel the same when you listen to it. Stay strong!

Forever Paralyzed (acoustic version)

So who is How Granny Got Her Groove Back?

Just one “little old lady” playfully experimenting with a DAW.

A few months before my 60th birthday, I discovered that creativity has no expiration date when—with no prior experience creating music or using DAWs—I embarked on an exploratory digital music journey using GarageBand.

Little did I know that this entertaining quest would translate into a new roadmap for my life!

What began as simple curiosity quickly evolved into deep exploration of sonic landscapes through loops, samples, and layered sound design. 

My long-dormant creative fires were reignited…

How Granny Got Her Groove Back emerged as my artist name the moment i began sharing music with friends and family—a playful nod to reinvention and resilience, inspired by the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Granny Grooves is the sound of that journey — lush, loop-based tracks that blend classical roots with modern digital expression.

Music has been my lifelong companion—a source of both inspiration and refuge—from school band and choir, to my decade as a dancer and years of playing piano, rhythm and melody have been essential to how I breathe and move in the world.

Now, blending my classical musical foundation with the tools of modern digital production, I embrace experimentation across diverse styles.

Each track is a new adventure, a balance of nostalgia and innovation grounded in life experience, yet always open to playful surprise—a testament to how artistry can deepen, evolve, and bloom at any stage of life.

Versatile music producer from Germany.
EDM, pop, cinematic, and more – always emotional, always authentic.

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.
