Cursed Blessings
03:33

|||
The ugliest things happen to the prettiest girls
I guess you cant have everything in this world
Blessing and a curse it's so unfair
Seems like love would be everywhere
But your staring through a smoke screen, fill your lungs
Intoxicate your judgment, you found the one
The wrong one
Mesmerized by your beauty
But the world he in is ugly
So he sets out cruelly to darken your light
Dimmen your smile
Subconsciously maybe, but all of the while
Killing a soul that once was so free
Now yourself you're imprisoning behind those walls
To protect your heart
Feel like everything that there is but smart
And it follows you, it follows you
*Hook*
Blessing or a curse
Blessing or a curse
Verse:
Rash decisions fueled by emotions
Then immediately second guessing
Pray the hope you had wasn't a curse but a blessing
But you can't help but feel like you've been through this before
Can't help but feel like you know what's in store but
You don't wanna drag your baggage from the last flight
Conflicting thoughts put up a fight
You fight and fight and fight and fight and fight and fight yourself
You just wanna be happy, why cant you be happy
Sucked into the sadness of the world, why don't you deserve
Why aren't you good enough, for love?
*Hook*

Need

Verse:
Sayin' all of us are the same
Mindsets formed from the pain
Well baby I can tell you I'm a different breed
What I gotta do to make you trust me
Reduced to "Fuck Bitches, Get Money"
But tell me is your heart really beating
I only got one question for you
If I walked on water would you trust me
Hook:
I can give you what you need [x6]
Verse:
I can be the one to change your thinking
I can be the one to give you life
I can be the one to make you love me
You just gotta say yes to the ride
We all need love
We all been hurt
Just say yes to love one more time
I only got one question for you
If I walk on water would that make you mine?
*hook*
Verse:
Dread headed Medusa
Turned your heart to stone, light brown eyes
You thought you saw the light in 'em
She lured you in with that evil smile
So when I smile at you, you relive the hurt, time travel to past
but just take my hand and be free at last, free at last
God all mighty you free at last
'Cuz I love you like the stars love the moon
And i'll never say that i'll see you soon
'Cuz I see you always even when your gone
In my dreams you live, in my heart I long to love you
To touch you
To warm you
To hold you

Find You

Verse
No Navigation my magnetic north draws me to you but you disappeared
Now I don't know what to do with myself
Eyes caught in headlights they're blinding than ever
You made me surrender to you
But I never knew
If you left that you'd take a piece of me with you
Now I'm sitting here like damn.
Damn damn, what the hell am I gon' do without my man
Hook:
(Now your gone and I'm lost without you here now)
Been around the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
Been around the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
Been around the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
Been around the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
I don't know and I don't know why, why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But i'm gonna find him, yeah
(Now your gone and i'm lost without you here now)
Verse:
Our bed was like a vast ocean
Separating two nations
I was sick of your bullshit
You were losing your patience
You stormed out and yelled "Fuck you"
I'm thinking it's just the same shit
But it's different this time it's the last round
I hit below the belt, you knock me out
Up late night no phone calls
Hoping that soon you'll be homebound
But the days and days pass and you aint here
We yelled so much that we couldn't hear
The love in our screams so you left me
Blind to your pain, so I couldn't see
A vision of you ever throwing us away
How much for your love baby i'll pay
I'll go broke just to have another day
I cant wake up and not see your face
But your gone, your gone away
I'm alone, I'm so lonely
Yeah your gone, your gone away
But i'm gonna find my baby
(Now your gone and I'm lost without you here now)
I've been around the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
I cant find my baby
No no
Been round the world and I I I, I cant find my baby
I don't know and I don't know why, why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be
My baby, my baby

Wine Tip

Hook:
Mary is a bad bitch
Got damn, Mary is a bad bitch
Got damn, Mary is a bad bitch
Gotta love a bad bitch
Mary is a bad bitch
Got damn, Mary is a bad bitch
Got damn, Mary is a bad bitch
Gotta love a bad bitch
Bad bitch yeah
Verse:
Wine Tips, as my my mind drips
Time slips with, thoughts of reminisce
The nemesis, the divine of the genesis
Splattered bits celebrate the last of such a bliss
Slow it down
Purple dreams and numbness resurface within the fungus
Psycho abundance
Come fuck with, the young dreamers
The young schemers, rolling with misdemeanors
Disappointing the preachers
Wishing we could be cleaner, but fuck that
Misguided youth
Tryna get higher to the truth
Wishing someone would show me proof
Until then you wont see me in a pew
'Cuz I aint got nothing to lose
I wasn't put on this earth to walk in your shoes
Believe me, imma do me
With or without you, it don't make a difference
*Hook*
Verse:
Blacks and swishes
Takin' me back to all my wishes
I just wish I could forget this
I'm on a hit list, tryna sip on my, my wine tips real quick
Before I quit runnin lips
He said "How bout you show me some affection with them hips"
I said "Right after you show me some affection with your lips"
My whole team still greatly denominated
We scream fuck 'em all for they are all hated
Persuaded all my enemies to love and now i'm straight greatness
Ask my whole team I'm nothing but gracious
But say the wrong thing and you might have to face this
Roll it up and face it
Roll it up and face it
*Hook*

Believe In
04:14
|
|||
Verse:
Don't wanna live forever
Don't wanna die young
But when my time comes, want them to say I was the one
I guess I do wanna live forever
But in a different sense
Want my music to give pleasure; generations future tense
be a living legend even when my soul go
wanna touch the world wanna let my soul glow
Be a transgressor breaking all the boundaries
Decloud the minds of the ones who are in disbelief
Hook:
We all gotta believe in something
Why not start with yourself, take a breather, and just go
[x2]
Verse:
Speak it into existence
Do more than just existing
'Cuz you aint really livin'
Why not go out and get it
I been tryna get my spirit right lately
'Cuz the ground beneath my feet startin' to feel unstably
But I'm still walkin' forward, still hold my head high
Guess I gotta take flight if I wanna touch the sky
But the sky's not my limit, to infinity and beyond that
Buzz lightyears past my time, I'm aristocratic
Climatic and I'm almost at my peak
I'm a scheming schematic and aint nobody stopping me
'Cuz I believe in the magic of my mind so to speak
I don't entertain drama keep them vibes away from me
But I do believe in karma, sow what I wanna reap
Take a rest when I need it but I never oversleep
'Cuz it's work to be done and that's never gonna change
I'm a slave to my ethic but I love it so i'm chained
Self-proclaimed I'm the greatest of my time
But there's still room for progression I'm not even in my prime yet
Still dripping blood and sweat
Perfecting my craft and imma come harder than anyone they'll never forget
I've been a threat since amniotic fluids
Thought you had the game locked, those were just delusions
Holy ghost using my pen for this, Hallelujah
I'm the best to ever do it ever did it imma prove it

World on Fire
02:40
|

Hook:
There's so much more to talk about than me
How relevant am I when the world I love is on fire
What's done in dark will come to light and we will see
Just how much truth were lies and deceit
Verse:
Riots and rallies
Fire burns the valley
Anger silenced the happy
Now, where are we?
Broken windows, stolen TV's
Bad intentions roaming the streets
Let the devil in for a just cause
But what's the cost of causing all this chaos
Would you burn the pillow you lay your head on before you go to sleep?
But you would burn the village your family grew and grass under your child's feet?
Misplaced rage is all the rage in our community
But we ain't hurting nobody but the ones that look like you and me
Hook:
There's so much more to talk about than me
How relevant am I when the world I love is on fire

Who I am
02:49
|

Verse:
Ok I'm tired of writing 'bout love 'cuz I don't feel it no
Took some time for myself, doing some heeling yo
Cuz I felt the passion leaving
Getting colder, breath was syncing to the rhythm of normality
But I aint normal though
I thought about just doing nine to five's all my life
Letting doubt fill my mind with lies, roll the dice
What's the outcome?
How come I rely on probabilities to tell me who the fuck I am and who the fuck I'm gonna be
But, hold up wait a minute fuck dat
It's so easy to fall in line and not push back
That's what separates exceptions from the sheep
So I weep for the ones who follow blueprints and be walkin' while they sleep
But I can't say that I wasn't on my way
Almost gave up on my dreams, started living day to day
Just to make it to the weekend, the fuck was I thinking?
Reduce my life to mediocrity and binge drinking
And I don't even like liquor
Just like the feeling of temporary happiness them bottomless bottles give me
Numbing my mind from thinking cuz deep down I know what's really going on with me
Can't face the reality that I almost chose just to let it all go
Shut the blinds to my light and not let my flower grow
Put a hold on progression
Used to be my obsession
Glad I got back to the plan
Got myself to understand who I am
Who I am
Who I am
What am I to do with this light
That grows inside of me
Should I let it glow or should I go or
What do I mean?
What am I to do with this ight
That shines inside of me
Should I let it glow or should I go or
What do I mean?

It's Been Real
04:09
|

Verse:
Flipping through the pages of the book I write my songs in
It's coming to an end I gotta find a way to extend
Or maybe I should let it go, open a new chapter in life
Cuz how can you move forward when you cling to your past strife?
It's funny when I suddenly have epiphanies
That light bulb burns bright like "Got damn, you got it Tiffani!"
Searching for the answers when it's in me
Turning deaf's ear to my soul I wasn't listening
Well turn the volume up I want the whole world to hear
I wanna hear it loud and clear
Make them sound waves appear
Turn audible fantasies into visual realities
The power's in your hands
How can I make you overstand that you're greater than you think
All you gotta do is think
My subconscious said to me as I write it down in ink
So I could look back and reflect, get my mind and soul in sync
Now I sit back and relax as I listen to this beat go
Verse:
Why is it I feel the most ingenious when the night falls
The daylight seems to blind me, the darkness brings clarity
I answered my own question, now you see what i'm talkin' bout?
You know one thing I hate? Niggas askin' for handouts
Switching subjects here, but I think this should be talked about
Why is it that they owe you every time you get in a drought?
The only thing you're entitled to is death
So why you out here tryna live through another mans breath
Tryna live through another mans breath
Tryna live through another mans breath
Just let that sink in
Verse:
And to my ladies how believe that a fat ass and weave makes you beautiful
Then for a man you may be suitable
But really you're living in a mindset that makes you usable
You gotta love you for who you are, it's not disputable
If you live off a man's compliments then you'll die from his criticism
Learn to validate yourself make that the mission
Make that decision
Learn to see you in a whole new vision
And to never let a man create for you a definition
And I'll drop that subject right there
Let it sink into your mind
Let it soak into your body
Let you feel it in your soul
Because that's the holy trinity
And a lot of us are sick, love of self is the remedy
I'm bringing you the ministry
All you gotta do is follow it, stop putting off progression talkin' that maybe tomorrow shit.
All that pride you need to swallow it, stop putting off progression talkin' that maybe tomorrow shit.
