This album is a love offering for Black women who do everything, feel everything, and still show up with heart. Each track is written like a voice note from someone who truly sees you. A sister-friend. A version of yourself. This project was created with both AI and human power by Nikala Asante, M. Ed., blending ancestral wisdom, creative storytelling, and the magic of modern tools. May it meet you exactly where you are and remind you that’s a beautiful place to be.

Take a Minute

You Good, Sista?

[Intro}

whooo ooo ooo
[Verse 1]
Some how I sit here thinking of the way it was to be
Sharing the laughter with you and all the memories
but then you told me that 
Sometimes things must change
Only for the better
But as you leave why is there so much pain 

[Bridge]

Times run out 
and I don't know if i can do without
your sweet tender touch 
Cause I know I'll miss you oh so much
but now you're gone 
and the good times have left me all alone
What more can I do 
I'm so deeply in love with you 
Tell me how can I make you see
That I don't want you to leave

[Chorus]
Oh baby, come back to me, I need you desperately
Baby, what am I gonna do? I just can't live my life without you
Oh baby, come back to me, I'm sure I'll make you see
This love I have for you, is yearning for your needs

[Verse 2]
The night you told me that our love was not a game
Made me believe that you and I both felt the same
But as you leave me now, 
In my time of desperate need
 it's quite clear that our love wasn't meant to be

[Bridge]

Cause time's run out and I don't know if I can do without your sweet tender touch
Cause I know I miss you oh so much, but now you're gone
And I'm left without a prayer and a song, so what can I do?
I'm so deeply in love with you, tell me how can I make you see
That I don't want you to leave

[Chorus]
Oh baby, come back to me, I need you desperately
Baby, what am I gonna do? I just can't live my life without you
Oh baby, come back to me, I'm sure I'll make you see
This love I have for you, is yearning for your needs

How was the Jury to know? 

How was the Jury to know?
How was the Jury to know? 

Your  life is not presented as a complete
Toil
The programs that were installed 
The love that was withheld 
The promises broken 
The Tables empty 
How was the jury to know the pain in your Cry for help 

How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 

Childhood 
Codes installed 
Societal norms 
Pushing you down at every return 

How was the Jury to know? 
How was the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to empathize with your soul? 

We asked to judge 
We asked to not be judged 
We ask you to be kind 
Yet We create the societal norms

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 

How are we to understand and fix the problems at their very core? 
At the center of the program that created the wall 
A separation At the very creation

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 

12 people 
12 souls 
One on the other side of the wall 

How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know? 
How is the Jury to know?
How are we to continue and become whole?
Come to the center of our core?
The center of our Souls
Healing with kindness that we all ignored 
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh

Love
Love
Love that heals us all

Repair breaks with heart and soul 
Repair fragments with gold
Repair fractures with love fivefold
Repair cracks with empathy
While off our collective tears with life of integrity


Kintsugi for every soul 
Kintsugi for every soul 
Kintsugi for every soul

Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ooooh


Judgement day [112312542025]

“Lift the Manger High” is a powerful, celebratory gospel-style holiday anthem that honors the birth of Jesus Christ. The song is built on bold praise—lifting the manger as a symbol of salvation and shouting His holy name with conviction. It emphasizes Christ’s purpose in coming to Earth, proclaiming freedom, faith, and joy for all believers. Energetic and full of spiritual fire, it declares the Savior’s life and presence with triumphant hallelujahs.
