[Verse 1]
Huh
Forced to yearn and desire
Living in lack and inspired by mire
My opinion matters like ash in a fire
My ire wired to my side
Tell me my thinking implores 
What my eyes see
Why be authentic?
Can't even be afraid for a minute
It's offensive
Is it realistic, or ripe for derision?
Lately I been thinking bout contentment
I place intention in my daily living
And let wisdom filter my experiences
I really been tryna get it right
In its time, it'll be mine, be sublime
Bring me life
In my mind's eye, see the vision
Equilibrium give me stability
In stepping freely through revisions
Giving me remission of sins

[Chorus]
Living in my head
Inside, I watch my steps
I heard what you said
I'm trying to find what's next
I'm scared to doubt and it fills me with dread
I can't let you treat me like I have no head
I hope I can live out the good that I've read
In my head
In my steps

[Verse 2]
Am I really faking?
Hm, hm, hm, (sometimes I think I am)
I'n wrote my pages
Of contemplations, across my stages
Yuh, yuh (always performing)
I'n spent my days wavering 
And savoring my pain
Turning yays into nays
Plagiaring ways of the days prior
Paying attention to things I shouldn't 
I make my endeavor to be better
Better than yesterday, I meditate
On better ways to extricate
Myself to a better place
Try to place faith where it's meant to lay
Tell myself everything is gon be okay
Grateful for the better days
I don't really expect it to stay the same
But I pray that I'll be okay
Whatever happen, and whatever change

[Verse 3]
See whatever you touch in this life
It can turn to vapor
That's why I don't idolize chasing paper
If delulu gets you through
Your day to day
Then hey that's great 
My hope is still finding its way
Listening back to my words
I can hear myself giving up
Cause I'm tired
I'm trying to get up 
Get off my back and just sit up
I don't see a silver lining
But I think that's fine
Cause everything doesn't have one
I practice acceptance, and struggle to live in contentment
I see my behavior's offensive
But staying the same is so tempting
Huh
Trying to be humble and listen 
But seeing the message is twisted
Enlisting my mental to give in and
Get what the person is saying
They act like I don't even have a perspective
I'm always a stone's throw from tweaking out
I'm tryna give up control and see it out
I'm tryna make sure I don't repeat
The same old mistakes
I see'em, tryna beat'em out
I'm tryna see if I really matter now
I want me and Yah to sit and have it out
There's more I could say right now
But three minutes the longest 
I think yall will stay around

[Chorus]
Living in my head
Inside, I watch my steps
I heard what you said
I'm trying to find what's next
I'm scared to doubt and it fills me with dread
I can't let you treat me like I have no head
I hope I can live out the good that I've read
In my head
In my steps

Doubt and Hope

[Intro]
Yeah
In the jungle been stumbling
Little bit of tectonic rumbling
I been whispering, mumbling
Little bit

Little bit worried I'd fumble it
Literal tears fall, tumbling
Self development humbling
Hah

(X2)

[Verse 1]
I been loving my freedom lately
Love for me has been teaching gracefully
A peaceful intermission what I need
A breather from the squeezing on my knees
My back has born the weight of empathy
For everybody except me
I ain't got no signal flow in these trees
And I can't see myself in these weeds
Please believe I been seeking
Apart from relying on preaching
Breathing deep through my seasons
And teaching me that what I speak is good enough
For any reason
Thinking about me, thinking about she
Thinking about what I'm hoping to see
Hope to recieve what I need to be free
Trust it'll be what it be what it be

[Chorus]
Yeah
In the jungle been stumbling
Little bit of tectonic rumbling
I been whispering, mumbling
Little bit

Little bit worried I'd fumble it
Literal tears fall, tumbling
Self development humbling
Hah!

[Verse 2]
Thinking about me, thinking about she
Thinking about how stable is my feet
Thinking about peace
Thinking about how long it'll take me to become the real me
Think about every little thing 
Every thing pressed deep in my chest
Down deep in my belly
Is a buzzing wild mess
I'm tryna hear Yah, but my fears digress
I been alone in these days
I been tryna figure my road, it's this way
"It's only so much we can hold for you, babe
We can't do everything"
Everytime I reached out, I was met with
The best efforts of everyone's help
Then it all fell down back to myself
I was met with my own agency
Implored to decide it was me saving me
Or waiting patiently, and changing pace
So I could safely be in place for the way changes were framed to me
I painfully holded in lonely solo dolo, dry phone
Days, and weeks, for years
I just got back comfortable with tears
Still tryna see life different from fear
Still tryna see light
In pain, I'm present, I'm here

[Interlude]
I'm still on my way
In the secret place
Don't worry about me
I'll be okay

[Verse 3]
Boom
Bound to be better than I've ever been
Sound the drums, I'm bouta be a menace
Still lonesome, but I slowed down to feel it
I'm tryna trust what I need will be given even when they say go out and get it
If I do trash is it still worth living?
Will you still love me if I can't pay your bills?
My self-worth I have to instill, for real
I gotta pull back from the nonsense
Cause they'll sooner tell me that I ain't NOTHIN 
Than tell me they loyalty is locked in
That they bought VIP for my moshpit
If they lie on my name, then they not - heh
If that's how you see it, then I understand
But don't tell a flat lie trying to destroy what I've accomplished
Yo karma will reach you, I'm not tripping

[Outro]
I know who I am
And I know just how to stand, huh
I am now better than I've ever been, huh
I'm in the jungle, I'm at peace with where I am
I define for myself what it means to be a man, huh
I feel the energy of nature when I breathe, huh
Yah, Elohim, yeah the Kingdom lives in me, huh
I've been a fiend, but I'm trying to be free
All my things that I need
They come from within me
Hah!

JUNGLE

[Verse 1]
It ain't even all about sex
How do you measure my value?
What if I tell you the feelings I have for you?
I don't just want you to respect them
I want them to change summ
Look at me deep in my spirit if you can
You'll see that it's saying something
You'll see that I'm pleading for you to believe me when I tell you that I am not a threat
But you'll never get the message
You've stepped to forget it, but not in forgiveness
And the ones who would try to recollect it
Can't alter the direction of events
My lost affections
The fault of my ignorance and neglecting
A  man can't do nothing but mess up a blessing

[Interlude]
The ones I want to be the closest to can't see me past my mistakes
My incongruencies drive them away
They have no reason to repeat the season that they spent with me
So they leave me with the memories of hopes that no longer matter

[Verse 2]
What do you see when you see me?
Can you see my eyes through my locs?
Does it give you dread
What's on my head tell you all I'm not?
I'm aware your inner tensions and inhibitions is not my business
But I would listen to the spillage
You're safe in the village
But your vision's been minced
By the other men that have been offensive
Then I made mistakes and you say
"That's the real you, isn't it?"
I know you can't afford to | trust me
But when them doors are shut
That loss tugs me
I wish you loved me
I want you to know that I'm not a threat to you

[Interlude]
I hope my desperation reaches your heart and doesn't drive you away

[Verse 3]
What do I look like hoping for?!
Heart wide open for?
I don't got no guarantees
That I'm ever gon see what I walk around moping for
Honestly it be what it be
In spite of my plea, I know that it's over for
That dream has died
To an outside eye
I am nothing but a problem
They don't wanna get too involved with
They don't wanna call me valuable for their own loving *breathe*
This experience is tailor made
Cause my "typical man mistakes" are the bane of my 
Relationships' existence
Feels like I can't escape 
No matter how much attempt I make

[Verse 4]
To change my nature
It's never gonna make up
For the sins of fakers
Who come with a genuine make-up
But they're a clown
Getting your guard down 
Hoping to take you to pound town
Then look, they're not around now
You move on with your life, ring ring
Pennywise wanna go another round now
Privelage breeds entitlement
Which gives birth to ignorance
Makes the rift bigger with asinine actions
Acts of violence
These men never made you a safe place
Threw your dignity in fire pits
Then expect you to be be a safe place for them
And leave you to lie in shit

[Verse 5]
Lil lady, your anger is justifiable
I wonder what I could do
To make living beside me a safe environment
I want to do life with you
Tryna kill off my ego, I'm sorry for
Times that my actions have lied to you
I been taking it days at a time 
Tryna focus on what all that I can do
Cause in spite of the times where I feel like I'm not being treated fairly
I know you can barely see a difference between me 
And men that you view as scary
And then when I think of the way that you see me
I feel hopeless
Cause I know that I'm trustworthy 
But I can't get you to know it

[Chorus]
It feels like you don't love me,
And I understand why
When I see and hear what these men have done
I don't wanna be a guy
I don't want to be the person that everyone 
Views as a threat
I am lonely and alone
I can only see my intent
And sometimes I forget to see other people
But I understand your apprehension
Men have been evil
Whats gone is gone
And I shouldn't hope on 
For a drawn out sequel
But I love you down
And I want you around
Cause I want to see you

i'm okay

[Intro] 
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
We gon' move the mount-ain
Get yo steps in, get yo reps in
Don't look stupid now

[Chorus]
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
Don't look stupid now

[Verse 1]
What am I doing yuh?
What am I doing now?
I done crossed that finish
How am I moving out?
Maybe I reached my goal
Maybe I made my rounds
I done reached all them goals yall set for me
Yeahh, yeah, yeah (am I winning now?)
Outa sight, yo
But I got these eyes on
Got me looking down like I'm on a tightrope
Maybe brought the obstacles I had to fight through
Cause my darkness, now you here for the lightshow
Please...

[Pre-Chorus] 
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
We gon' move the mount-ain
Get yo steps in, get yo reps in

[Chorus]
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
Don't look stupid now

[Verse 2]
All that pressure they put on me s'posed to grow that diamond
But y'all ways sometimes, pushing on my mind, do some pretty bad violence
Y'all tell me y'all love me, I ain't never called y'all no liars
But of me what is required, has never been to lift you higher
I come from the God of Fire
Yahuah gave me life
That work is not an option
But rest is on my mind
I honor those above me
They gave me so much time (however)
From spirits that control me
I'm taking back my mind
I live for the Most High, and not for no person that would sigh
Walk humble and live righteous, from my God that is required
Find rest for my mind, yeah, I'm taking my time
Acknowledge Him on high, what I decide just might fly
(as long as amen comes from on High)    

[Pre-Chorus] 
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
We gon' move the mount-ain
Get yo steps in, get yo reps in
Don't look stupid now

[Chorus]
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
What are we doing now?
How we steppin, how we resting?
How we moving out?
This that pressure, they expectin'
Don't look stupid now (this that pressure, they expecting now)


Pressure

[Intro]
Bounce wit it till they go to town wit it
(X3)
Imma step to the left, come right around wit it

Bounce wit it till they go to town wit it
(X3)
Imma step to the left (break yo body into pieces)

[Chorus]
Bounce wit it till they go to town wit it
Imma step to the left, bring it right around wit it
I'm a homebody, but I be out on the town wit it
I can feel my energy becoming more profound wit it
I'm a black man tryna be something new
If I trust, I can be something tried and true
I'm aware of myself and in love
It's good vibrations, I'm raising me up
It's good vibrations in here
Yeah
It's good vibrations in here
Yeah

[Verse 1]
If it's a matter of trust, then it's a loving effort
Realize love is the key to unlock yourself
Worthy is the person who listens to this
Your heart is valuable, I'm glad your existence persists
Tell me did you drink water today?
Did you pray?
Did you align yourself? Are you okay?
Put that pen to that journal if you ain't
Gone say what you wanna say

[Verse 2]
I got emotional sickness, love has been the medicine
I open the blinds sometimes
The light is shining, let it in
Try my best to remember to drink my water
My habits they tend to falter, cause it's easy for me to forget'em
My therapist told me I don't like joy cause I can't control it
I didn't resist when she said it, cause it wasn't bogus
I run away from true feelings of happiness cause I don't believe I deserve, whatever is happening
I'm happy when I make something or something hits my spirit
The emotional weight of music that speaks to me
I hear it working in conspiracy with my inner mirror
I guess that means I see myself in it
Keep me in a place where I'm rooted, unmovable
But flexible enough so I can live with the One that's true
And do what [_] would do
Oneness truly is beautiful
And presence is full of truth
I hope you listen to stillness when you feel it pulling you

[Interlude]
Bounce wit it, rock wit it
Lean to the left, to the right, then drop wit it
Don't worry bout anybody that's not wit it
You can just tell'em look
(You don't know these streets like we do)

[Chorus]
Bounce wit it till they go to town wit it
Imma step to the left, bring it right around wit it
I'm a homebody, but I be out on the town wit it
I can feel my energy becoming more profound wit it
I'm a black man tryna be something new
If I trust, I can be something tried and true
I'm aware of myself and in love
It's good vibrations, I'm raising me up

[Outro]
Bounce wit it, lean wit it, rock wit it
Lean to the left, to the right, then drop wit it
Don't worry bout anybody that's not wit it
You can just tell'em look
You don't know these streets
It's good vibrations in here
Yeah 
It's good vibrations in here

Good Vibrations

Shema, Yisrael ft. Don Malibu

[Verse 1]
Make it make sense
It couldn't be basic
Couldn't be sane 
It couldn't be satiated
It couldn't be tamed
It could be infamous
"It was the way you played it"
It sits on the table, dribbled with fables
"It was the way you played it"
But I wasn't playing 
Came in this thang for the same thing that I say when I lay the parlay on the Mesa
"I'm in it to stay, love"
Here to take up light whenever the shade comes
Wanna light your face up
Ain't nun bigger than what we could've taken up
If you feel it then say sum'
Come in Closer, don't be running away from it
I'm willing to make sum
Break sum
Change sum
Make a bigger space
For (fuh) you to take up
Take some, of it 
It was made for you
With your name on it
Got your face on it 
In my memories plastered
Thoughts choose affinity faster
You left an impact, it lasted
You have me, I wanna ask
I wanna hash it out, I 
Wanna come back around 
You never spin the block, but
Baby come back around
Truly,
Don't nobody do it like you do
The sight of you take me over
I was scared, thought that I would lose you
I just wanted to be closer

[Chorus]
I'll meet you anywhere (x4)
(I would have met you anywhere)

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I know that passion burn like mortar
And I know my mind don't catch things and I tend to miss and skip over
Things that are really important 
Things don't go my way and I try to force it
But that ego don't have place with us when apologies are in order
My friend that I truly cared for, I'm sorry
For the aspects of your nature I'd forgotten
And I've not been congruent with ways
That would help the trust that we've begotten
And to be honest
I ain't been right in the head since I lost you
You been all over the walls
And you been all over my thoughts
I wanted to call, but it would've been null
I have a habit of miscommunicating my thoughts
I know that to grow, I have to own up to my fall
My consequences, your boundaries stand tall
You might have thought I didn't care but really I left battered
That situation taught me my perspective never mattered
Since then I've been rehearsing all the ways I could truly recount the day
Because I heard that lies were spread about what happened
I guess it I never mattered

[Chorus]
I'll meet you anywhere (x4)
(I would've met you anywhere)

[Bridge]
Thinking bout you
No I don't stop
You're in my head
Feel like I'm gon' pop
(rpt.)
(Every day, every night
Every left, every right
I can't escape the thoughts
It's too much)

[Chorus]
I'll meet you anywhere (x4)
(I would've met you anywhere)

[Outro]
Now as I've grown past 
The stress I thought would last forever
I've been made aware it's fortunate that we were severed
There was no character to hold on to
No substance I would have benefitted from
It wasn't wrong to love
But I have a habit of picking the wrong ones
Trusting someone would love me, they mentally run the ones
Raising my blood pressure, or making me more afraid
Treating me like an option, or throwing me away for simple mistakes
And I blame myself for someone else's idiosyncrasies because within myself I'm insecure
Starting with myself
I'll create a love that's pure.


Closer (Anywhere) ft. Charlie Murdock

[Intro]
I made it, I made this
But I don't know what to say here
I made this, I made it
But I don't know what to
I don't know what to

[Verse 1]
Start it up
My one friend ask me
He said
T. Sam, when you coming back to rapping?
I don't wanna let what I put out be down and trashy
I can't just do one genre cause that alone'll never gas me
Ain't got really much to say, cause nowadays I've felt so passive
Slow pace of education and this weight has been so massive
Much things burn up my change, and wages pay has been like ashes
Emotions in my way, fill in the blank just like it's Mad Libs
See nothing to look forward to, or pour into my passions
My thinking, I implore it to move forward through my actions
But it don't move like I want it to, I've caught it really lacking
Like it don't see what's important, speaking mordant, speaking crassly
Don't nothing even make sense, for real
Vision look glassy
Can't really tell what matters still
Cleaning my glasses
Been way low for the longest time
Couldn't be gladdened
Been waiting for the switch to flip, and change my life, no magic
I been taking Sabbaths

[Interlude]
I don't even wanna talk about it
Cause I don't wanna pull a card or be complaining
You know what I'm talking about?
But it's all on your shoulders, man
How much do you wanna press in?

[Chorus]
I'm good
Don't peek down under the hood
Forget it, I knew that you would
I really believed that I could
I wanted to love her forever
She gone, I'm afraid I'll forget her
I wonder if this what I get
For loving and being obsessed

[Verse 2]
Gotta be careful what I say
Cause anything could be watching
Ain't nowhere really safe
So my head is full of caution
My spirit full of pain
Cause I've got regrets and losses
But I don't see mine as real big, cause I know more people got them
Look around on the edge of the bed
Listen backwards on the clock and find the recompense for what you never said, yeah
Listen back like you can live it again
Praying I can pay you back, really, so I'm scared to let my mind forget
But I know I'll forget it
One day I'll no longer regret it, that's why I'mma go off the rail and neglect it
I don't need to feel better, I meant it
I just need to do better repentance
What I need is to suffer a sentence
I know you forgive me, I haven't forgiven myself
I don't live with myself, I am distant
I'm afraid that I'll pick wrong and miss it
Feel like I'm trapped in a state
Don't mind me, I'm just tryna escape
Lost love so important to me
Man, what else is my mind gonna take?
And I'm looking and seeing the times
I need to read, and I need to pray
But I'm trying to gather my reason
Cause I'm scared to be fake

[Chorus]
I'm good
Don't peek down under the hood
Forget it, I knew that you would
I really believed that I could
I wanted to love her forever
She gone, I'm afraid I'll forget her
I wonder if this what I get
For loving and being obsessed
I'm trying to fix my head
But something in me's in the red
I haven't forgot what I read
But I can't seem to put out the steps
Everything's going to heck
I thought I could just take a breath
But nothing is bothered or pressed 
Cause I simply needed a rest
Shoot


[Vamp]
I need a rest
I need a breath
I need a Sabbath, I need to manage
I need to press
I need to work better
I been too stressed
This is too much (I need to do right)

[Verse 3]
Can't do what I need to do cause I'm far too overwhelmed (dang)
Can't do what I wanna do, cause I need to do something else (dang)
Gotta do what I gotta do, cause I gotta do it for myself
And all that is closing in on me, so I don't know if you can help (don't know)
This world got nothing for me, and I knew that from the jump (jump)
But then I look at what I care about, and I can never really do enough
Can't even call it quits, cause I know there's no good in giving up
I just wanna run away, honestly, and I ain't even got the funds

[Outro]
I just wanna get out!
Lemme out, lemme out!
(x4)

I just wanna get out!
Lemme out, lemme out!
Lemme out, lemme out!
(rpt.)

ouch...

[Verse 1]
What do you talk about when nothing comes to mind?
My thoughts loudly fill my ears and cover my eyes
Time folding over itself within my mind
I've lived 10'000 lives in a fraction of days and nights.
I wish I could retain the information I gain
When I stray from presence
Walking through my own mental plane
Cause I swear it's like living a life
Learning and growing, gaining wisdom
I figure when I come back,
That I shouldn't be the same
I believe I should be different
My behavior should change 
As my frame of what I've lived with 
Some people say visualzation's just as good as lifting
Cause your system remembers and fixes divots in your
Grey matter
But these days I stay sadder than putting milk in before the 
Cereal
Tryna get to the truth, and stray [away] from delerium
| I see disappointment coming, I greet it like
"here it comes"
Expecting a problem has always been my rule of thumb.

[Verse 2]
Isolation and separation
Distance been my lived in disposition, I live in dazes
Live in the night, that's when I do my contemplations
When I yearn the most for the warming of loving faces
I swear that I don't wanna be here anymore, bro
Like, it's so fucking tiring, I just wanna quit 
I'm doing a bit better than I was before 
I've gotten to a place where things started making sense
I don't have the | energy required to activate
And I don't feel qualified to do the things that made my name
Why should I draw attention, I might just be in the way?
Why should I practice speaking when I don't got nun to say?
Talk to my spirit and remind me that I have a reason
Cause I don't desire to go through time and continue being
Maybe the frequency that I'm at don't match the vibe of your encouraging,
Nourishing words and that's why I don't recieve them
But that's the long and short of it

[Chorus]
I've been tired 
For a long time
Why should I have to fight
When I might just be wasting time?

[Verse 3]
I ain't never | said that shit out loud before
That I don't wanna live
I don't care nothing bout growing up 
And having wife and kids
It seems so beautiful 
It's truly beautiful, I swear it is
I'm 24, but I be thinking that's just on another hill
It's not | even like I plan to leave the earth
Cause I don't
I just need my inner man to see my worth
What I need is some Magnesium
An easy one to help me ease into some focus
I just want to cease to exist
I don't want to go to work
I don't want to go to school
I don't want to plan the next few years of 
What I'm gonna do
I don't want to push and press
I don't want to be up next
I don't want to pick up by my bootstraps and
Be the best
I just want to stop everything and just rest
And reset
Long enough, however long it takes me to forget
And regret until there's no more regret left
Until I can truly know myself and be dead set
On living an authentic life

[Bridge]
Until I can just be
Without feeling the need to do anything
Until the "should" looming over my head is gone
And I'm being everything I talk about becoming
When I can practice what I preach to myself, shit

[Verse 4]
I look back over my words and realize that I sound stupid
Like what would posess me to say that I don't want to
Live? 
Or how'd I digress from the pressing matter
Just because I felt sadder, now I say I don't want to do it?
Sam, what gives?
It don't even make sense
Where is this coming from?
I don't always feel the same ish
My shoes don't know what solution to step in
Know it but can't put my steps in
I'm beckoned by an alternate dimension
Of an optimal inception 
Of a better state of being
Supposedly in the present
Or supposed to be 
I feel so distant from people who say they close to me
And truth be told it's the weight of this distance holding me
But no one's holding me
This shit hurts
And it's not ending...
But that's the long and short of it

[Chorus]
As long as I keep striving
I could see light
I long to feel alive

Tired

[Intro]
Huh
Give it a rest
You giving me stress
Like give it a rest
You feel like emptiness
A black hole in my chest
Every day is different
But it's all been my best

[Verse 1]
Days of deciding my ways and my vibe
And my brain to delight in its being
It is a cage or a lively stage
I wonder if people I've slighted can see me
Think of the way that their eyes 
Would weigh and decide
My daily devices 
Voices are speaking that weigh in my mind
I fear that I'm being a shame, I try
To change and ascribe
The hate in their eyes
From experiencing the pain in their lives to me
That's just shame in disguise
Telling myself that I'm tryna be "better"
My timelessness fettered with finite agendas
*breathe* By that I mean clinging to moments that passed
I'm full of moments I always regret
Sometimes I don't think when I ponder my path

[Pre-Chorus]
Huh
Give it a rest
You giving me stress
Like give it a rest
You feel like emptiness
A black hole in my chest
Every day is different
But it's all been my best

[Chorus]
Yeah give it a rest
My inner monologue does not
Coddle or impress
I don't need your narratives
Or imperatives, you digress
I am authentic
I'm a standard unto myself
Give it a rest
Give it a rest
I count myself in
I don't put myself on the shelf
I shine my brightest
I'm a safe place for myself 
I am who I am 
And that's enough for me to be well

[Verse 2] - Dunga - dunga - dun - dunga (swung rhythm)
Everyday I remember yet another condender
Stuck again in my head
When a character flaw piques my interest
Ping, another thing to mention
Spiraling trying to fix it
*breathe* I just remembered
I can't breathe, I'm constricted
Tell me something I can live with
Tell me something I can live with
I give myself permission to forgive it
I give myself permission to forget
I trust that if I give myself the happiness
That I deserve that I will not regress
I'mma be alright, okay?
I give myself permission to accept myself
I'm alright, okay?
Healing ain't linear
If I couldn't tell, I'm doing it well

[Bridge]
I give myself that permission to forgive
I give myself that permission to forget
I give myself that permission
Feel safe
Let it go
Be myself
Live my life truly authentic
Just rest

[Pre-Chorus]
Huh
Give it a rest
You giving me stress
Like give it a rest
You feel like emptiness
A black hole in my chest
Every day is different
But it's all been my best

[Chorus]
Yeah give it a rest
My inner monologue does not
Coddle or impress
I don't need your narratives
Or imperatives, you digress
I am authentic
I'm a standard unto myself
Give it a rest
Give it a rest
I count myself in
I don't put myself on the shelf
I shine my brightest
I'm a safe place for myself 
I am who I am 
And that's enough for me to be well

[Verse 3] 
Wannabes
Don't talk to me
If you don't rock with me
Isosceles
I stretch my arms out wide to keep
Identi-thieves off of me
Preying on my peace
I'll protect it with intention
Don't test me
I don't need that right now (don't test me)
I don't need that right now (don't test me)
I don't need that right -
I need agreement right now (protect me)
I need agreement right now (protect me)
It's a gentler season right now
Baby I need peace
I'm validating my reasons right now
I validate what I see, believe, think and percieve
My experience of me
I am who I'm meant to be (I am)
I am my own home (I am)
And I belong wherever I'm with me
My time zone is golden
Whether it goes zoom or creeps

[Outro]
That support is necessary
So put it on your itinerary
Cause life is scary
The burdens we all carry
Weigh a litte heavy on me
Sometimes it feels like "me" is hard to be
What I look outward for looks far from me
So now I look inward impartially
To foster peace in my garden
Ease my conscience
And become conscious

Wake Me Up Inside

[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power 
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour 
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him

[Verse 1]
Born within the heat of Arid sands 
Born to kill the evil where it stands 
Born to still the seas and free the land 
Born to heal the people, make a clan 
Born to teach the people how to stand 
Born to die to free them, that's the plan 
Before you raise the king to be a man 
Avoid hostility from Herod's hands 
Murderous intent, the heart of man 
To spill the blood of love so innocent 
To massacre the prophets that you sent, they laughing while they digging into your skin with the cat of nine, your back and side, they hanged you high, and while they sat and laughed you died, and cracked the sky
It's the last of times, we have the signs, You said "I'm coming back for Mine"

[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power 
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour 
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him

[Verse 2]
Break, driven by the pain
Determination in his face, he ain't gon be the same.
Talking bout the different picture he was tryna paint.
A different kinda soul, kinder, freer, full of strain.
A man of God ain't finna give in in the devil's face.
The kind of man that wouldn't run away when Eli paged.
The kinda warrior that make the enemy afraid.
He breaking chains, bringing people right up out the grave.
Taunted demons, plucked the power from the hellish plane.
Sat on His Throne, cuz He's a King, and He's bound to reign. 
Revolutionary, bring a new change
Pummel oppression to free the slaves.
Teaching a lesson to test their brains.
Went from flipping tables, to flipping the lies and fables.
Folks came to Him barely able, He multiplied their tables.
Introduced a love that's more than stable, unlike Cain and Abel.
He disabled all the bondage cables, freed our souls and now we're re-enabled.
Yeah.

[Chorus]
Long long ago there was a man of power 
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour 
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
And yet he lives again and we tell the tale about Him
Long, long ago, there was a man of power 
He lived a life so pure, made the most of every hour 
He sacrificed His life so His name could be a tower
The Legend of the King, yes He lives again in power yeah

Verse 3
1-2-3-4, 
knock at my door,
Pain that You bore 
Bore my load for
All things sinful
All things dismal
Smile like dimples
Shine like crystals
2-2-3-4
Whatchu need me for? 
You got all power in hand, my relief for.
All of my grief, You're 
my nominee for
office to speak for
the house of the weak, You're 
Raining in power He's raining in power 
The drizzle drop His grace is a shower, His grace is a shower 
He took it all was paining for hours, was paining for hours 
Take Him down to the grave and make Him look like he's going to stay 
HALT!!!
"Put the brakes on your whole operation 
This is the man of whom you're an imitation?
Said he'd give you life, but it seems He's left His station 
This is not the place for your hope or your patience"
Wait wait wait please, this was for your safety
Scripture prophesied that you guys would never break me 
Seated on the throne and I left my tomb gaping
Death been dead since I killed it on day 3 
They cease running off their mouths and I stay King 
Same thing 
If you want a savior just say "please"
Hey these people see I'm back they, looking crazy 
You should see the look up on your face like "Say cheese"!
