LYRICS WRITTEN & PERFORMED BY Amare Symoné:

Throughout all the bad
And the ups and downs
I am still here 
On my own two feet
Sometimes it’s so hard 
To leave all pain away in the past
I’m gon’ make my joy forever lastin’

Even through the 
Ups and downs
Even all the times I’ve frowned
All my bad been made into some good
Cause we made it

Yeah, we here
Yeah, we here 
Right on time

Them bad days was hard
But, I worked through those parts
I’m so blessed
I was stressed
I can finally say

That we made it
Yeah we here
Yeah we here 
Right on time

Always had to work three times harder
Just to prove i was smart if not even smarter
Loud voices creep in my head
Say I might as well forget it all
Got all this fight inside of me
Prayed to god that she’d give me
All the hunger I need
To proceed, do you feel me?
They tried to beat me down
Box me in, Break my kin
But in the end, all we did was win, win, win

Made it through the
Ups and downs
Made it past times I’ve frowned
All my bad has changed for the good
YES, we made it

Yeah, we here
Yeah, we here 
Right on time
Them bad days was hard
Yet I worked through them parts
I’m so blessed
I was stressed
I can finally say

That we made it
Yeah we here
Yeah we here 
Right on time

Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high
Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high
Never down long enough ‘cause i’m gone keep my head high, high, high, high, high, high, high

Tania Nwachukwu - No New Ways

I never know where I'm supposed to go,
so I just stay right here
hoping that you don't care,
and maybe it'll be for the best.
so, just f*ck fear.

I let skeptic sleep in my bed
and let cynic wreak havoc 
on my poor pretty head.

I sit back,
don't live.
Pourin' up again and again
until I lose all cognition.

alignment, late-night.
hold it 'til it feels right (x2)
hold it 'til it feels right?
I'ma be here all night

'Cause I never know if my sixth sense kicks in
whenever you call me 'friend',
I'm spilling all my emotions.
I'm a hopeless sap again.

Alignment late night
You've gotta hold it 'til it feels right
Hold it 'til it feels right
Well, I'ma be here all night.

Second guessing is my vice.
It keeps me late at night.
I wake up, middle of the night
and my chakras, I aline.
When I can't go back to sleep,
that's when I realize
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this panic.

Second guessing is my vice
keeps me up at night.
But swear, it can do no wrong
until there's much harm done.
But I can't go back to sleep --
that's when I realize 
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this mirage.

ASTU, Eritrean R&B/soul singer-songwriter out of Oakland, CA, discusses sex, love and all the complications that follow in her premiere EP-Patterns. Honest, raw lyrics are lifted by synth-filled rhythms and soulful melodies. ASTU captures the modern romance in all its vulnerability and volatility. “‘Patterns’ is my attempt to dissect the stories my generation repeats and the lens we view love through, in hopes to break the hollow patterns that hold us back from it.” Written by ASTU and produced by Daoud Anthony, who is known for his current work with up and coming Chicago-rapper SABA, Patterns is promising to  be one of the most anticipated releases of 2018.

LYRICS:
I thought I had to be
Everything you wanted
Thought that we were all we needed
Walls start cavin’ in from the lack of space
Craved the taste of you till it drove me insane

Now Im losing
(Heart)
Losing my mind
(Goes)
Losing my 
(Crash)
Losing my mind
(Damn)
Losing my 
(Our)
Losing my mind
(Love)
Oh 
I’m losing
(drains)
Losing my 
(me)
Losing my
(This the)
Losing my mind
(cycle)
Losing my mind
We go ‘round and ‘round
Losing my mind
We go ‘round and ‘round

You talk at me
‘till I crack
I scream words
I can’t take back
This the cycle 
Of our love
This the cycle 
Till one of us goes

I’m wading 
I’m wading 
I’m wading
I’m wading in these waters 
In these waters for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting 
Here for ya
Here

Oh I’m 
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Oh I’m losing
Losing 
Losing
Losing
Losing my mind
I’m Losing my mind

(Trumpet Solo by Jimmi Gordon)

Need some peace of mind
Got to take my time
Got to heal my wounds
Want to make some moves
Got to go and get free
Sometimes people change
And so does the heart

I’ve been wishing pon a star
Somehow I’d rid of these scars
Oh Oh
I’m losing
I’m losing
I’m losing

I’m losing
I’m losing
I’m losing

I’m losing 
I’m losing 
I’m losing

Something tells me
Change is hard
Change is hard

Losing
