Let Your Light In
03:13
|

I know it seems like it’s raining And that the storm will never end You may feel stuck in the darkness But there’s light being sent to mend.
Pre chorus:
Get off your feet, just look you’ll see,
you’re all you need, you need to be, learn to be your new best friend
Cause if can’t do that, you’ll keep falling flat, don’t be an acrobat, you can beat it fast, breathe you’ll let your light in.
Chorus:
Breathe and let your light in x3 Breath and let your light in.
You may be drowning in trouble
And that your mind won’t let you rest It tells you life brings you struggle And it will if that’s what you manifest
Pre chorus
Chorus
Instrumental
So get off your feet, just look you’ll see,
you’re all you need, you need to be, learn to be your new best friend
Cause if can’t do that, you’ll keep falling flat, don’t be an acrobat, you can beat it fast, breathe and let your light in.

Graduating
03:50
|

We try and we try over and over.
Till we master each try and then we forward
But this time, this time, it’s something bigger I am changing inside quicker and quicker.
Cause it’s time when we’re just screaming
It’s time when games replace laughing
This chapter is ending and everything’s all said and done
Chorus:
I’m graduating, graduating, graduating you. X2
You say it’s this way, it never includes me.
Demands made, no choice, only you lead
I’m always hurting, cause I’m not considered
So I’m saying goodbye, I’m done being triggered
Cause it’s time when pains the guest around
It’s time when there’s no middle ground
This chapter is ending and everything’s all said and done
Chorus x2
They’ve helped grow into the shoes I need today fill today.
But I’ve out grown the shoes we wore together, so it’s time for me to say

Alright
04:00
|

Alright
Only 2 bags packed heading from Philly
On a plane to LA feeling kinda silly
As I’m holding back the tears I haven’t cried.
Just days ago I lost my housing situation,
And I’m single now from our last conversation,
I’d be breaking down, but I gotta stay strong.
Slowly descending the clouds greet as we touch down Anxiously waiting to meet you
Chorus
Staring face to face with the city
Your mountain tops are looking oh so pretty And the palm trees sway into the night Reminds me I’m gonna be alright
No matter how much I cry,
You lift me up with every city light
And feed my dreams so I can fly
Thanks to you I’m gonna be alright,
Alright
Staying with a stranger wishing it was different And I’m working two jobs just to make a living While the tears Inside wash the days away
Try to make friends, but everybody’s busy Going out alone pretending like it’s no biggie But when I go home it catches up to me Hoping not knowing but trusting you’ll show me I’m right where I need to be

Until I See You Again Ft. WOLVES
Wake up to the sunshine
Stretchin out is so divine
Don’t have to remember
To clean my mess before you get home
All the time in the world
Catch up on all the work
Soakin up my me time
Stayin up till 2 AM
I’m trying to be fine
Without you by my side
Hanging with my friends and laughing
Anything to pass the time
No matter what I try
There’s no place for you to hide
Can’t deny something is missing baby
Chorus
I have made a great life
And you light up my sky
Just two more hours till midnight
Until I see you again
Week one on the road
People ask me how i cope
They feel it’s a lifetime
When I’ve only been gone a few days
Another stage late at night
Hotels and early flights
Eyes half closed, hit the road
When we talk at 3 AM
I’m trying to be fine
Without you by my side
Hanging with homies and laughing
Anything to pass the time
No matter what I try
There’s no place for you to hide
Can’t deny something is missing honey

I Can't Be
03:49
|
|||
I can’t be
I can’t be Fit me in a box and tie me with a ribbon Throw a dress on me and drink until the room is spinning Can’t believe they pay to be on this merry go round Go on and water me down and say I’m out of my mind I can’t do this or that without committing a crime So I smile and laugh just to hide the fact That I’m drowning inside
Cause they’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down
I can’t be who I’m not meant to be What they all want to see no no And I can’t be somebody’s property Just a commodity with no soul I said no...no no...no nooooo
Gotta stay in school and follow the rest Don’t think for yourself and you’ll pass the test Better listen to us cause we know what’s best for you But you’re damned if you do and shamed if you don’t Play by the rules, and keep your head low Till you finally see it’s all a rigged reality show
They’ll keep dumbin da dumbin dumbin dumbin you down They dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down They’ll dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down

So Good

So Good
Guess you found me in this place
Stumbled in you want a taste
I’m not here to satisfy your stage
So get your nose up out of my face
And keep your ego out of my space
You’re the best thing not to happen to me today
Cause It ain’t no good for you
And it ain’t no good for me
This darkness that you left inside
Never lets me breathe
Chorus:
I’m so good baby baby
Oh so pretty pretty
So much better without you baby boy
Don’t need your crazy crazy
Toxic baby baby
So much better without you baby boy
Hide behind your great disguise
You think I don’t recognize
Silly boy you’re hiding in plain sight
So walk yourself back out the door
It ain’t about you anymore
I’m not here to settle the score today
So it ain’t no good for you
And it ain’t no good for me
Only way you’ll learn is if I let you burn
This girl ain’t yours to keep
Chorus
Post chorus
So good, so good, so much better without you baby boy x2
Bridge:
Mmmmmmm mmmmm so much better without you baby boy x 2
Chorus with claps
Chorus
Post chorus x2
So much better without you.

Home
I need you to hear me out
About the life we're building now
I'm scared of the change
And the things we will face
I'm dealing with the indecision
How will we complete our vision
Which step should I take
To move in with grace
Pre chorus:
Then I gave myself the chance to clear my mind
And when I did I broke down and cried
Chorus:
Cause I'm home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
This is what I wanted, but I never thought it be this good.
Will I lose my independence
By living with your human presence
Will I lose my mind being reassigned
There is no way to see tomorrow
Or how well I'll adjust and follow
Will I be alright, choosing this flight
Pre chorus:
Then I gave myself the chance to clear my mind
And when I did I broke down and cried
Chorus:
Cause I'm home I'm coming home
I'm coming home
This is what I wanted, but I never thought it be this good.
(Band Jam)
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
This is what I wanted,
I’m coming come.

We Are the Same
04:29
|

We Are the Same
Your words can hurt, or they can heal
How do you speak your heart communicating what you feel? And some will be withdrawn, from showing hate,
or just the opposite insuring others hold their weight.
Pre chorus:
We know, giving problems makes them bigger
So when will we stop taking them out each other.
Chorus:
We’re so divided so divided by our fear and jealousy
We’re so divided so divided by having different needs
We’re people, living people who all want the same things.
Why be divided be divided when we are the same.
We are the same.
You can save yourself, or do what’s best for all.
Which version will attract the help you need when you fall? Decide which one is you. The choice is yours.
You write the music and the melody for who you are.
Pre chorus
Chorus
Stop the screams on social media.
The hating, hurting medium
No cents or politics can fix our ignorance at hand.
Let’s begin to share our stories
Share a moment, really listen
Make the best of everything before we’re out of time.
Chorus X2
Fade.

Letter To My Father

Letter to my father
I’m writing to you, to tell you thank you,
For all of the love you made
And all of the strength you gave
Even though, we’re out of time,
The bird never dies it flies away on with me
So I’m flying safely
I’m following the words you have me
I’m doing only what I love
I’m finding people who respect me, and protect me
Chorus
So in case you don’t know I’m doing fine
Of course I’d feel better if you were alive
I know you’re sorry you can’t make that change
I’ll still be seeing you, everyday
At first, the loss was so tough, to be strong enough,
The pain was so hard for on me, and hard on the family.
Though those years were hard to resolve,
Now we’re evolved, we have found harmony, in your memory.
I’m listening to what you told me
I’m following my voice within
I try my best to do the right thing, do the right thing
Chorus.
Instrumental
Chorus
End.
