a demo that i fell in love with.


Lyrics:
Life is a drag without the drugs
Don't like the high, just need a buzz
Natural haze just ain't enough
Without assistance in my system

And my wherewithal dissolves in heat,
runs with my rage, outlines my pain,
hides me away.

I need some options
don't make it stop yet
the paradox is my friend
wanna skip over nonsense
normal is toxic
need some new context

Pretending to know all the movements
But I really don't know what I'm doing

They say the ground is proper zone
I had to come down, I left my home
If I can't do life elsewhere,
how come nobody told me before?
Now I'm caving in from my core

No cares at all
What's wrong with me?
It seems the same that haunts my brain
undoes my shame.

I need some options
don't make it stop yet
the paradox is my friend
wanna skip over nonsense
normal is toxic
need some new context

This is probably the stupidest song I've written (lol). I kinda like it though! It's weird, people see it as fun and quirky, and I do to, but to me, I hear more....hmmm..desperation? It's a tinge bit sad too....I'm not really talking to anybody other than myself! At the end of the day, it's just a girl wanting something she's never had before....will she ever get it? We'll see! Thank you everyone for listening, and like I said previously, more music to come!

Lyrics:

You say I want to be your girlfriend
it wasn’t really in my plans
when you’re around, i got arrythmia
so in the end, i play pretend

You got *ugh*
of a cool dude
but you should know i like it hot
but if there’s really no denying what this is
then come on let’s give it a shot

whuh-uh ohh

you said i want to be your girlfriend
who said i want to be your your girl
you say i want to be your your girlfriend
well it all depends

you say i want to be your girlfriend
but do you want to be my man?
i’ll treat like you are a carry on
like you’re my one and only fan

my kindness is of a false pretense
i’ve got the ego of a god
but if you take me in your arms, be confident
i’d commit a character fraud
(stab stab stab)

whuh-oh ohhh

you said i want to be your girlfriend
who said i want to be your your girl
you say i want to be your your girlfriend
it wasn’t really in my plans

ehh eh

secretly i’m aiming for a rhythm that exceeds my expectations
am i ever gonna get it?

your girl is in the business so there’s little room for idle contemplation
(ya ya ya)

with you
oh whoa oh

(you said i want to be your girlfriend
who said i want to be your your girl oh
you said i want to be your your girlfriend
who said i want to be your your girl?)

you said i want to be your girlfriend
who said i want to be your your girl
you say i want to be your your girlfriend
it wasn’t really in my plans

girlfriend

Don't worry for me,
I'm not behind.
I'm still erupting
at the perfect time.

Don't use your metrics
'Cause you won't get it.

I made this from nothing.
I'm right about something.

I'ma do more than get by.

VOLCANICAT

sometimes you gotta make it just to make it
sometimes you gotta make it just to make it
sometimes you gotta make it 

oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo

I love pouring into you
i fill a receptacle with water from my sink
to pass it through the filters and offer you a drink

I love giving to you
cistern sistah so smooth you can't feel the cracks in it.
shawty tight. nothing leaks unless she say so

I love pouring into you
i watch the crowd in my bowl, in the morning.
i fill the gaps with oat milk and delight
and then, delight.

I love giving to you
could go on for in-definition
not about a certain thing, more about a feelin

I love pouring into you
i mixed a hue of goldenrod
to paint the top part of my bathroom
to remind myself of the sun inside
of the sun in June

I love giving to you
hand me your hand
so i can place what I have
crumpled up into it

sometime you gotta make it just to
just to make it
sometime you gotta make it just to
just to make it

sometimes you gotta play it
just to play in it
just to play in it

01 I Love Pouring Into You I Love Giving To You

tuck and rolling into seasons
gathering reasons
to love this shit more

winds of winter got me thinking
i can’t keep warm without a war in my chest

turns out i’m just best when i’m rested

but it wasn’t empty second guessing


‘cause now i’m sure —

i’m holding it
holding
holding it all

i’m holding it
in my palm


(ooh)
time may be the essence of the river that i am

(ooh)
wading, changing, rearranging
filling me to brim

till i’m running over
till i’m running over
till i'm running over

till i run over
till i'm running over
running over

running
running
run

‘cause
i’m holding it
holding
holding it all

i’m holding it
in my palm


and the sunshine the kind of blinding
that reminds you that you’re alive

and the sunshine the kind of blinding that reminds you that you’re alive

reminds you that you’re alive
reminds you that you're alive
reminds you that you're alive


and the sunshine the kind of blinding that reminds you that you’re alive

reminds you that you’re alive
reminds you that you're alive
reminds you that you're alive

On this day last year, March 6th , 2014, my mother flew away, levitated, we levitated with her. Earlier that year she made a new years resolution. She had never done this before. She had resolved to forgive her self for not being perfect. I mean mamma was got damn close. She was a brilliant mother. She read and work and daughtered, and sistered, mothered and loved her way to freedom, fiercely. Anyone that new “Mrs. Smith,” knew she loved her babies. She taught us the art of love and giving. She was the best black feminist librarian, black freedom lover, team mom, ptsa parent, health advocate, friend, shit talker, dancer, singer….on and on. She fought her way to freedom. Momma, fellow black girl genius, read Toni Morrison, J. California Cooper, Alice Walker, as growing black girl. She made sure sis and I knew love and blackness and womaness and ride or die fierce shit. 

She raised amazing Black daughters and raised so many others. Early last year, she told me in tears that she was making a decision to let the cancer take her life after a long, tumultuous battle. She fought for her daughters. She used to always say, “I’m tryna see my babies live. I want you to be happy. I am doing this for you.”

My brave sister and I looked our 51 year old mother and widow in the face last year, and told her, “it was okay to die. We love you.” I dedicate this “sonic black girl” vibe to my mother, father, and big sister. I dedicate this track to Dr. Ruth Nicole Brown, SOLHOT We Levitate, and the most dopest and humble person and poet, Nikky Finney, for blessing me with the vocals from Nikky Finney’s contributions to SOLHOT Presents: Black Girl Genius Week (BGGW) at the University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign (Nov. 3-8th, 2014). I dedicate this to SOLHOT homegirls, We Levitate (Dr. Beezy, (Queen) Jessica, Pretty Black)), BGGW, black girls and black people , elders, and ancestors everywhere. “Go on, Black Girl, levitate…”
