VERSE ONE
In the darkness waiting for that hint of morning light
Holding onto hope that maybe day will fix the night
Fear and doubt and disbelief all make it hard to breath
I’ve been there so listen to me
You are the stars and the sun and the moon
Everything all at once in tune
You’re made of magic
All of the love and the strength that you need
All of the courage that wisdom brings
You already have it

CHORUS
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are

VERSE TWO
Where you were is not where you are standing here today
Given time and circumstances, so much had to change
Now you’re stronger faster wiser
Look how far you’ve come
Mmm
You’re gonna make it
You are the stars and the sun and the moon
Everything all at once in tune
You’re made of magic
All of the love and the strength that you need
All of the courage that wisdom brings
You already have it

CHORUS
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are 
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
Yeeeeeah
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
Yeeeeeahehaeh
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are
This is what you were made for
This is who you are

You’re made of magic

This Is Who You Are (Feat. Crystal Lewis, XIXI)

Lately I’ve been feelin like a train wreck 
Thinkin we can make it
Every time we fuss and fight  
I’m lovin you can’t fake it
Think we need to sit and work this out 
Now every time we talk 
You say it’s not your fault
You lookin right at me 
And I just don’t agree 
That it’s me, it’s you. 
So what you gonna do 
to make this right

PRE CHORUS
Netflix at home
You said you’re on your way
But I am in bed alone 
And I don’t know why 

CHORUS 
Tell me why you’re playin round 
I know you’re runnin out of time
I think I need some time to slow it down
I’m losing my patience 

Tell me why you’re playin round
I think I need some time to slow it down
We can give this love another round
How do we change this?
I am losing my patience

POST CHORUS
Down, slow it down
Down, slow it down
Down down, slow it down 

I’m giving every part of me
Every beat for you
My heart breaks in two
When you don’t do what you say you’re gonna do
I need some time 
To live a life that’s free

PRE-CHORUS
But I still wait for you
And I’m giving you my time
But you make me cry 
You got me standing right here
Need you to make me clear 

Tell me

CHORUS 
Tell me why you’re playin round 
I know you’re runnin out of time
I think I need some time to slow it down
I’m losing my patience 

Tell me why you’re playin round
I think I need some time to slow it down
We can give this love another round
How do we change this?
I am losing my patience

BRIDGE
Down
Slow it down 
Slow it down
Down

CHORUS 
Tell me why you’re playin round 
You know you’re runnin out of time
I think we need to try to slow it down
Cause I’m losing my patience 

Tell me why you’re playin round
We’ve got to slow this thing down
If we can give this love another round
I’m losing 
I am losing my patience

Slow It Down (Feat. Mickala Cheadle, XIXI)

The cracks in the pavement
They take us
To places 
That we never go

Alleyways and shadows 
They shape up
Life can hit hard
When you are running at walls

PRE-CHORUS
Silent and cold
There’s blood on my soul
Wake me and carry me home

CHORUS
I had to die inside
Just to feel alive
I let the smiles hide 
My fragile side
My fragile side 

VERSE TWO
Warm by the fire
Now I am breathin
Searching for meaning 
Just let it all go

PRE-CHORUS
Silent and cold
There’s blood on my soul
Wake me and carry me home

CHORUS
I had to die inside
Just to feel alive
I let the smiles hide 
My fragile side
My fragile side 

BRIDGE
Cracks in the pavement 
They take us 
To places
That we’d never know

CHORUS
I had to die inside
Just to feel alive
I let the smiles hide 
My fragile side
My fragile side

Fragile (Feat. Sophie Ilys, XIXI)

Ya I’m talking to myself 
Got me feeling so misguided
And this conversation
Always so one sided 

I know they’re saying 
But I don’t wanna say it   
I don’t wanna face it no more 

Another day I’m just driving through the night 
Another dream another moment pass me by yeah
Everything so faded I don’t wanna face it 
I can’t see a way through it all 

I’m driving home 
Somewhere between the light and the dark
Stay in the lines the lines 
but I’m just lost out here in the stars
I’m calling out until my voice is falling apart
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

Is this the place I belong? 
I lost the wrong and the right
Cause I’m just closing my eyes and driving towards all the lights
Sometimes I feel like I am just lost out here in the night
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

Maybe they were right and there’s no point in fighting 
I try so hard but it feels harder when I’m trying
I know they’re saying 
But I don’t wanna say it   
I don’t wanna face it no more 

Yeah I feel so gone 
I’m just lost on my own
Something bout that feeling that I ain’t coming home 

I just miss the way that you used to say that I made you feel less alone

I’m driving home 
Somewhere between the light and the dark
Stay in the lines the lines 
but I’m just lost out here in the stars
I’m calling out until my voice is falling apart
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

Is this the place I belong? 
I lost the wrong and the right
Cause I’m just closing my eyes and driving towards all the lights
Sometimes I feel like I am just lost out here in the night
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

CHORUS
I’m driving home 
Somewhere between the light and the dark
Stay in the lines the lines 
but I’m just lost out here in the stars
I’m calling out until my voice is falling apart
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

Is this the place I belong? 
I lost the wrong and the right
Cause I’m just closing my eyes and driving towards all the lights
Sometimes I feel like I am just lost out here in the night
I keep on calling out
I keep on callin

Calling Out (Feat. Lucian Waters, XIXI)

Now I 
Just caught you day dreaming
Oh what a simple trick
I couldn’t fade obscure into the night
Had to peak your appetite 
Now there’s something on your mind

CHORUS
Do I make you curious? 
Does that make it dangerous? 
What’s in your hand? You’re bluffing
I am betting all or nothing 

VERSE TWO
We tripped through the night
You caught me mid flight
You’re beautiful
Didn’t mean to fall down 
Town at twilight 
Your eyes burning so bright
Patient and deliberate 
Should I call you out or wait for it? 
God I need to know right now

CHORUS
Do I make you curious? 
Does that make it dangerous? 
What’s in your hand? You’re bluffing
I am betting all or nothing 
Is this a kiss or miss? 
I’m here for all of it
It’s just the two of us
Do I make you curious? 
Do I make you curious?

Curious (Feat. Brent Babalock, XIXI)

If you only knew
How much I would give 
To make my wildest dreams come true
What I would do to you

If you only knew
The way you make me feel
You got me livin on the edge
Sins inside my head

VERSE ONE
I’m trying to be right
But your standing right there
And we got all night
The games you playin just aint fair 
The way you catchin that light 
Gotcha catchin all my stares 
My kryptonite but I ain’t tryin to fight 

PRE-CHORUS
I hate that I want this 
It’s never enough
This got me spinning 
So sweet and so rough

If I could have every part of you
Even in this crowded room
I should run but that’s not gonna do
Cause when I see you in my dreams
You make me believe that you’re just here for me.

If You Only Knew.. (Feat. Mathew Grant, Mickala Cheadle, XIXI)

How to get closer to you? 

Thinking about yesterday
Was callused and blue 
Thinking about a world of grey 
Love faded untrue

Until there was you
You gave me a new lease of life
I couldn’t tell my left from right
There ain’t nobody left in my mind

How to closer to you
All black and white
No light
When I’m so far from you
I’d savor that moment 
And swim in the colors of you

I would fly ten thousand miles
To sleep next to you
Your embrace is all I’ll crave
I wonder if you crave me too

Since I met you
You gave me a new lease of life
I couldn’t tell my left from right
There ain’t nobody left in my mind

How to closer to you
All black and white
No light
When I’m so far from you
I’d savor that moment 
And swim in the colors of you

Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors of you

Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors 
Swimin in the colors of you

Wish I was closer
All black and white
No light
When I’m so far from you
I’d savor that moment 

How to closer to you
Swimin in the colors 
All black and white
No light
When I’m so far from you
Swimin in the colors 
I’d savor that moment 
And swim in the colors of you

Closer To You (Feat. Jamie Hannah, XIXI)

I’m watching these stars come out
Palm trees up the 101 
Take me back 
Cruising those bluffs
Top down. Head back. Young love
Ocean waves keep blowin your hair
Bags packed in the back seat, yeah
Put your feet up radio up 
Moonlight California 
Your hand out the window through summer breezes
We stay here forever
Every time I keep steeling back to 

22 and midnight
I got this feelin to keep 
Blurring the lines
Carefree and thinking you’re the best kind of high
It’s got me feelin so good yeah so good yeah
There’s just something about you
Feelin good
I’m feelin
Feelin good
There’s just something about cha
I’m feelin
I’m feelin feelin

I keep drivin down this timeline on faded white lines
Passed all these old signs 
of good times like 
memories down the road
It’s bringing me back again
See it all in the rear view to something I lost
Down to the coast
Hands in the stars
You had the passport
I had the fast car 
Your hand out the window through summer breezes
We stay here forever
Every time I keep steeling back to 

22 and midnight
I got this feelin to keep 
Blurring the lines
Carefree and thinking you’re the best kind of high
It’s got me feelin so good yeah so good yeah
There’s just something about you
Feelin Good

Time fly by when you in my presents
Got to thank God though for the blessing 
Body look right in them low rise
When you walk hips falling out of both sides
You know us boys from the south like thick thighs
On the coast, getting ghost down I 5
In a muscle car, going to hard
Didn’t want the night to end so we hit two bars
When the vibe right, we do it all night
Bartender keep two shots on sight
Go live, got to show them big vibes
Make a post, let them know we outside
We ant tripping on hatas we the perfect duo
I ant got to explain just as long as you know
DJ play her song she gone back it up
Pineapple and patron got her acting up
When she come around me she care free
That’s self care, that’s therapy


22 and midnight
I got this feelin to keep 
Blurring the lines
Carefree and thinking you’re the best kind of high
It’s got me feelin so good
So good yeah
There’s just something about cha
