So this is how it went down. I made the beat on a Friday. Hit up Jenova and sent it to him on Saturday. He came back with it recorded Sunday night.

Shouts out to @jenova-io for blessing the beat.
Shouts out to @superbbs for making a video for the song.

[Chorus]
So if you feel like you ain't got no help (no help)
And you ain't got nobody but yourself (yourself)
When you feel like ain't no one left (one left)
Know Jenova and God love you if no one else (uh-huh)

[Verse: Jenova IO]
I'm-a make sure that my people hear this (Now y'all gon' hear this)
Now I'm-a make sure that my people feel this (Yeah, y'all feel this?)
See some people think love ain't real shit
I can tell you love is the best thing to deal with (uh-huh)

I mean there's trials tribulations and arguments (right)
But the love gets stronger through the hardships
Homie, you've got this (got this)
I know someone needed to hear this song
Just 'cause you don't feel the love don't mean that everything wrong (nah)

See when I been through the times when I was suicidal
I ain't understand much, till I opened a Bible (okay)
God guided me through a path, a soul revival
A life of sinning ain't something that you should follow (nah hoe)

I'm out of school but every day I still learn (I still learn)
I hope that when I pass that I won't burn (I won't burn)
I hope you're innocent when God's court adjourns (uh-huh)
Peace, love, and prosperity is what I'm gon' earn and that's real

[Chorus]
So if you feel like you ain't got no help (yeah, that's real homie)
And you ain't got nobody but yourself
When you feel like ain't no one left
Know Jenova and God love you if no one else

If you feel like you ain't got no help
And you ain't got nobody but yourself
When you feel like ain't no one left
Know Jenova and God love you if nobody else and that's real

That's real.

So I hit up Taylor because I was leaving for college Sunday like "could I come through and record you?". She wrote up the song, rehearsed, and we recorded that in her room in a couple of hours. This is what dreams are made of.

Two Feat. Taylor Thomas

Severe Weather

[Verse: Sunray] 
I love to love on me like honey and sweet tea 
Make my body buzz like a queen bee 
Mystical cravings for this divine sensation with high vibrations 
Make you feel holy 
Blessed be thy name that worships my existence 
Honey dipped & sunkissed, lips covered in royal spit 
Yes, this is me saying I'm the shit, no need to tell me it. 
It is contagious 
My love for me is... 

[Verse: The Bizkid] 
Like ambrosia eating, 
my love for me is like feasting 
from finding deeper and different meaning 
In me-ing, in being 
Soul sun-soaked in passion and freedom 
Peppered with some magic and dreaming 
Yeah I am brown-skinned 
It's 'cause I'm so well-seasoned 
It's like finding home inside of the skin I'm in 
Castle of melanin 
Marbled maple, it's elegant 
Syrup down to the skeleton 
I love me like I'm all that I got 
Like I'm all I need 
I hold onto my worth like it's the last air that I can breathe 
I love me more than what a mirror delivers, 
what a girl can consider or what the world finds familiar 

[Verse 3: Sunray] 
Care for yourself like ish cares for self 
Crave for yourself like a midnight munchie 
My body reminds me of an outer body experience 
Habitually awakening my intergalactic being 
Eye see me, Triple T me, now I'm a triple threat 
I know I'm chosen you can call tell from the way I wrote this script 
Black magic hocus pocus make 'em melanin sick 
So sickening how I'll leave 'em shooketh 
Don't you know God took his time on this 
I wasn't made for it
it's just in me

Ms. Bellum feat. Nariah Taylor & JSY

Intertwined feat. Cassandra Raquel

Split Ends

[Verse:] 

Here's an interlude 
I got a tired attitude 
I'm tired of voicing opinions and people 
Thinking I'm rude 

I'm tired of putting on personas for a couple of views 
I'm tired of music, this department, 
And I'm tired of Hughes 

I'm tired of trying to be nice to people 
Who think I owe it to you 
'Cause I don't owe it to you 

I'm tired of preserving egos 
Of undeserving people 
Running away from themselves 
While keeping their two faces equal 

I'm tired of fakeness in general 
And I'm tired of being fake 
I'm tired of success meaning 
"To do whatever it takes" 

I'm tired of code switching 
Flipping through scripts just to be on the pay 
I can't work for your company if it's a 
Petting zoo for the snakes 

And I'm tired of this concept of striving to be great 
I'm already great 
If I'm not trying to be better 
It's already too late 

I'm tired of writing this 
What's next...

Interlude (I'm Tired)

Reintroducing the world famous Taylor Thomas as Nariah Taylor. Same soul, just a new vibe.


[Verse 1:] 
Hey, do you feel me 
What can I say, really really 
See, we can be together 
But it might not be forever 
Ooh, say, I'm just playing 
Unless you dig what I'm saying 
It can be whatever, 
Baby, it can be whatever 

[Chorus:] 
Don't try to stop it 
If everything is telling you go 
And if you want me to, I'll let you take it slow 
Tell you everything that you want to know 
Where you want to be 
Where you want to go with me 

[Verse 2:] 
And I'm just saying that I might never see you again 
But if you play your cards right, maybe we could be friends 
Or at least just pretend (just pretend baby) 
Just tell me when (tell me when, baby) 
But I'll be honest with you, 
I don't really want you to go 
Soon as you walk out that door baby 
I'm-a be all alone 
Put your number in my phone 
Call me when your home 

[Chorus:] 
Don't try to stop it 
If everything is telling you go 
And if you want me to, I'll let you take it slow 
Tell you everything that you want to know 
Where you want to be 
Where you want to go with me

We Call Her Nariah Now

[Verse:] 

Look, I pray I make it 
Through all the chances taken 
So many niggas faking 

For me to put my trust in man 
You understand this here 
It be a spiritual connection 
with the people upstairs 

Like maybe God is a woman 
Or maybe God is a being 
That's deeper than anything 
That anyone's ever seen 

Or been able to wrap out minds around 
'Cause I have found 
Over time, we've got so many views of God 
But no sense of you and I 

So we try to rationalize 
Who we are, when, and why 
But it's deeper than the surface 
Of the things before your eyes 

Where's the truth at? 
'Cause truthfully I see a lot of lies 
And that's a true fact 
Opinions end up serving up all the blind 

With a piece of humble pie 
I guess we stuck in pride 
I guess when ego dies 
The spirit, it will reside 

In a place that ain't crowded 
With the (?) of time 
Wasted and faced with the reality of life 

Bless. 

[Refrain: (x2)] 
Tell me where we go, oh 
Tell me where we go, oh 

Tell me where we go, oh 
Tell me where we go, oh 

Tell me where we go 
Tell me where we go 

Tell me where we go, oh 
Tell me where we go, oh

Grand Scheme feat. The Renaissance

[Chorus: Joelle] 
Who am I (x4) 

[Verse 1: TalentIsAlive] 
Born in the sun, trying to find a way 
Momma said "boy, go make a brighter day" 
I could never fall by the wayside 
That's why I take the time to walk the line, to work the grind 
It hurts sometimes, I've been feeling like I'm stuck 
I've been down on my luck 
All I know is that I gotta get up, I can never give up 
I'm a veteran, unh 
What you know about me? 
Hard to keep going when you're living off trust 
Grew out of darkness as black as his skin 
Funny, that same darkness made you shine from within 
Hope you don't shine too soon, under full moon 
You're in full bloom, young moonflower, it's a new hour 
Show your full power, you're a grown man 
So let em understand who you are when they ask 

[Chorus: Joelle] 
Who am I (x4) 

[Verse 2: The Bizkid] 
(hums) 
I'm just a child of God 
Hope that I could live a life that's worth a mild applause 
They see me as a silhouette with a probable cause 
I see me as another vet that's out defying the odds 
I'm defining the odds 
I went from survive to successin', from manic depression 
To man with the blessing, demanding attention 
Bodying bars with a vengeance 
It's in my DNA 
I'm only moving forward, man, I've got no time to stay 
If this ain't history, I'm only getting better 
You feel the beat? That's the heartbeat of my ancestors 
Like that y'all, I'm a king on my own 
I don't need another nobody to tell me what I know 
You can call on T'Challa, I got God on the phone 
To think that even for a sec I lost my seat to the throne 
Come on 

[Chorus: Joelle] 
Who am I 
(vocalizes)
