Hurt Me Bad
01:54

Hurt me bad when I heard the news
That you'd got that call and could not refuse
A goose, alone, I suppose
Can know the loneliness of geese.
And it hurt me bad when I heard the news
That you'd got that call and could not refuse
A goose, alone, I suppose
Can know the loneliness of geese
Called to go to the royal ball
Husband told her to fall back and wallow at home
Following a groan she said
I can’t be alone
I’m going like you
'Cus I’m afraid what I might do
Carefully chose clothes
Of course you know you pose for photos when you open the door
It’s a culture, a code
It comes with the territory, it’s business
Those within it are held prisoners
Fresh to death in the best dress
Press is impressed
Capturing pics
Sequins a-glitter
Cats gasp as she’s led by the prince’s straight through the entrance
Clutches her in a death grip
Hurt me bad when I heard the news
That you'd got that call and could not refuse
A goose, alone, I suppose
Can know the loneliness of geese.
And it hurt me bad when I heard the news
That you'd got that call and could not refuse
A goose, alone, I suppose
Can know the loneliness of geese
The top of the totem pole
Goal of the paparazzi
The protocol’s followed by bodyguards
Offer protection from the weapons and gunshots
But not her suicidal thoughts
Stop in the ghetto
Set up a photo op
Top of the meadow rocking stiletto’s
Got shocked
As the interviewer asked her if she’s doing fine
No one had asked in a long time
Lore of which fairy tails are composed
Family enclosed in a castle of gold
Close like butter on toast
Or clothes closed with velcro
Keep your mental health to yourself though

Stand Brave

Stand brave
Life-liver
Bleeding out your days in the river of time
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
This is not a suggestion
Leaning into your fears isn’t out of the question
The presence of your peers got you feeling a tension
But the pressure under wings is what brings ascension
Brethren I’m praying that your pain is medicine
I pray that you’ll change direction
I pray that you’ll aim for heaven
And claim redemption
Stand brave
Life-liver
Bleeding out your days in the river of time
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
Help him not crash depressed
Full of past regrets
Keep his eyes on the prize not his last address
Or his last arrest
Help him laugh again
You showed him mountaintops and lows as bad as it gets
He’s still cracking
He’s still get talent
He’s blessed
He’s still standing with time to catch his breath
Help him to fathom that’s not accident
Stand brave
Life-liver
Bleeding out your days in the river of time
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
Stand brave, life-liver,
Bleeding out your days in the river of time
Stand brave
Up high
Stand brave
Time moves both ways

Time Remains a Symptom
02:39
|
|||
Not axe nor hammer
Tumor, tremor
Can take it away
And it remains
It remai-
And love is not a symptom of time
Time is just a symptom of love
Yo
His mom’s always out at her job
Got a lot on her plate
Making Charles Schwab proud
Making stacks of the money
Sends it home to her spouse
Once in a blue moon takes him out of the house
Spoils him with gifts
She’ll be there for Christmas
Feel embarrassed if she miss gifts on his wishlist
Sometimes thinks thoughts that’s he tries to dismissed
If my mom really loved me
Why would she be this distant
Marriage falls apart
Now he’s gotta split living at different houses
Feeling inconsistent
She starts dating boyfriends
They give him gifts too
When she gets mad takes it out on the little dude
He gets to see her more than before
Though the most formative years all out the door
She gave time for her money
Now in all the money in the world can’t buy her back time
Ain’t it funny
Not axe nor hammer
Tumor, tremor
Can take it away
And it remains
It remai-
And love is not a symptom of time
Time is just a symptom of love
Yeah
Her dad’s always out at his job
Got a lot on his plate
Making Charles Schwab proud
Making stacks of the money
Sends it home to his spouse
Once in a blue moon takes ‘em out of the house
Spoils them with gifts
He’ll be there for Christmas
Gives ‘em gifts even better than what’s on their wishlist
Sometimes thinks thoughts that’s she tries to dismissed
If my dad really loved me
Why would he be this distant
Marriage falls apart
Now she gotta split living
At different houses
Feeling inconsistent
He starts dating girlfriends
They give her gifts too
When he gets mad takes it out on the little dudes
She gets to see him more than before
Though the most formative years all out the door
He gave time for money
But all the money in the world can’t buy back time
Ain’t it bummy?
Not axe nor hammer
Tumor, tremor
Can take it away
And it remains
It remai-
And love is not a symptom of time
Time is just a symptom of love

Oh My Love
02:25

Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little
I’m ravishing the cabbage and I’m going through the tofu
Way I lick it up you’d probably think that it was soul food
Actually I may not lick the plate that is negotiable
Depending on the level of emotion that I’m going through
My love can be funny at times
Hard to sum it up with only a couple a lines yo
I be kinda slow sometimes I hope it’s not an issue
If I’m tired and I’m crying out I do not want a tissue
Hard not to be self-conscious even when it’s just you
Honestly’s the policy but that’s not what my lips do
You even gave me a couple of lines
But my love like your hugs can be funny sometimes
Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little
Yo, check it out yo
When you get intense
I can turn into a puddle
Sitting on the fence
When you only wanna huddle
Starting to connect or detect how subtle
You left and you fret just to get me to follow
It’s perplexed me a plenty of times
It’s a puzzle but our love can be funny at times yo
I get mad but to yell is not my go to
Under the lid
I’m getting hot when I go stew
It could be way better if I would tend to show you
I’d be trying to yamehamehame like Goku
My love can be funny at times
At the bottom of my ocean I’ve got plenty of bombs
Oops
Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little
Three, two
Wooh
Cus I’m laughing at my actions
Wooh
Here’s to improving with practice
Wee
Comedy because I need it
Wee
It’s a funny way to see it
Wouldn’t trade us marrying for anything
Like, three, two
Wooh
Cracking up because I need it
Wooh
For everything I do
Wooh
But you simply cannot beat it
Wee
Chuckling with you
Me, you and Jesus
Sounds like fun
Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little
When we first met
I respectfully approached you
You recognized my voice from a video I’d posted to
Social media where I was acting an old fool
A funny start to all the funny stuff that we would go through
And love can be funny at times
How it starts from the most insignificant signs yo
I was too embarrassed to romantically approach you
Had a mutual friend that we were both close to
Told me that before you’re gone I’d better make a bold move
Glad I did that instead of trying to be so cool
Not saying that I’ve studied the science
But the actions of love can be funny at times

Sprouts and Blemishes
03:20
|

And you can ask the counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'll -
Saying that I’ll get up but I’m fed up with the process
Want to get a little better stead of metamorphosis
Ever since I was a sinner or since I was born
I been trying to find a way to take the pain out like an ostrich
When I put my head in the ground
Deaden the sound
I be chillin with my medicine distracted by the nonsense
Conscious of the fact I should be doing the opposite
Competent in procrastination of accomplishment
Honestly it’s complicated trying to have autonomy
Not to follow after all the options that’s in front of me
I’m only a man I can’t do everything I’m trying to be
My doctor is my heavenly Father doing lobotomy
I ask him why I’m applying to jobs that I don’t delight in
I know He died upon a cross but I got reminded
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show
I been obsessed with evanescence since my adolescence
I wanna make a message with electroluminescence
Omnipresence trying to say something that’s everlasting
Through the passages of time
Catch the minds of masses
Used to think that kind of message was a laughing matter
Now I pat my back for trying to be a madder hatter
That’s the catalyst for feeling like a cattle
Or a boat without a paddle
Or a donkey with a saddle
Take an artist go head and make a martyr of ‘em
Feed ‘em fairy tails and tell ‘em find a lover
Bottom line it’s kind of hard to mono-color
Life is kind of complicated I’ve discovered
Trying to focus on the stone that covers up the sprout
If I own it for a moment I can take out
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show
And you can ask the counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'll -
It’s a place that’ll make you and break you
They praise you a day for your breakthrough
And wait for your breakdown
When they say your amazing and thank you
You basically thinking that they bated you
Weighed down
Morale at the bottom of the ocean
Make sound
All of ‘em ‘ell follow your devotion
Chased down challenges until they ain't an issue
You’re face down
Galloping through battles like a missile
Wait now
What if growing means you gotta stop
Rolling up a boulder but you only hit a rock
Wanna leave a mark but you don’t want it to be chalk
Overworked
That karoshi got you murdered on the spot
And the verdict is the furnace was a burden on you body
Burning up your mind that’s why it’s hard to learn
Your thoughts are cloudy
Dropping water for a sprout that be hellish to grow
It explodes from the shell and the blemishes show
I steady waste time looking for a straight line
Steada improvising on the cadence of the bass line
Make it rhyme
It is a twisted string
May as well sing sing
Steada chase spring flings with the bling bling
Sipping pain away
Only think on the ching ching
Looking for the pay
Try to mingle into fame
But I’ll never leave trace
Not a single cent
Not single fingerprint will stay
Take a big offense
Shouldn’t let my ego in the game
I be feeling that neglect like Puerto Rico
It’s a shame
Cus the fame’s hella fickle
Strange like a cucumber that changed to a pickle
Sheltered when it when it rains
Now you can’t feel it trickle
How you gonna have a breakthrough
Shattering the glass
Shout out even when it aches you
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show

Glimpses of Woman
02:28
|

Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold--
Being a woman
Being a woman
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
He grabbed her hand
At the camp dance
Asked if he could kiss her lips
She was thrilled since she’d never been kissed before
He took her to a dark corner near the dance floor
They kissed but he pushed for more
She gave more
But didn’t want to go too far
She decided from that point forth
She would make sure she maintained control
Before that
She saw herself as a beggar for attention
But she’s no whore to drawing out sexual tension
And she made sure that boy
Was the last one
Was the last one
Was the last one
Was the last one
Later on
Her and a man had a much greater bond
He tells her she’s a ten
Beautiful
She looks at the ground and she can’t respond
She don’t got a tan
She ain't the bomb
Can’t have sex all the time
She aint a blond
Doesn’t look great in a bra
Or a thong
Wishes somebody would wave a wand
So she we wouldn’t have to swear he’s wrong
Even at their wedding knowing it would haunt her
Like she was competing with her maid of honor
Can’t believe that anyone would want her
But keeps composure
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold--
Being a woman
Being a woman
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold--
Being a woman
Being a woman
Till the night is over
Hold on
Hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the fickle dawn
Oh my bones they are
Gone gone--

Bounce
02:22
|
|||
In a flash
It hit the fan
And just imagine the panic
It's traumatic
Ditch the plan when you're clearly disadvantage
Clipped an ear in the frenzy
Then you vanished, huh?
Said you would die for him just some hours ago
He said you'd deny him thrice
The cock would crow
In the thick of the night
You get sick at the sight
Folks with sticks and stones, swords, clubs and spikes
They wanna capture Him
Teach Him a lesson tonight
In His absence
You feel disconnected inside
And it's wrecking your mind
It just doesn't align
If He's the Messiah
Why is He letting them bind him in chains
Like He committed a crime
It's so strange
And insane
And frustrating
In this day and age
He's making you look like a fool
So you know what to do
Bounce
When they took Him to the high priest's house
You watched from afar as He got beat down
Denied and denied Him
You did not keep count
Did you honestly think that you would not be found?
Or was your main thought
That you not be bound like your Master
Not one you wanna copy now
You copy the crowd
But body and mouth aren't cooperating
It's hard to not seem challenged
This is overwhelming
Got you off your balance
Trying to hold it in
Make your heart seem calloused
Join in the insults and malice
Rather give it out than be a target of violence
Couldn't take an hour praying for the power
Now when there's a finger pointed at you
You cower
Cock crow's precise
Denied Him thrice
Yet when you lock eyes with Christ
His eyes were nice
You bounce
Cus it's all too much to take
As you're running away
Doesn't matter where you're going a bit
Just as long as you dip
Heart's pounding big
Fall down on the ground
And you wanna be dead
And you stop in exact same spot
Where your Master an hour ago sweat drops of blood
And He asked you to stay and watch and pray
But off you fell to sleep
Couldn't stay awake
But wait a minute
You argued that you were ready to die for Him
Couldn't stay awake an hour for Him
His betrayer came
You drew out a sword to ride for Him
Then you ran like a coward on Him
Said you didn't know Him
Three times
Didn't believe Him when He told you you'd lie
But He said that you'd return in time
And you're burning in your mind
And you're far from fine
You bounce
Time goes finds you back in a boat
Trying to catch fish for the past hour or so
And you cast nets but you lack power to sow
Simple fact is
Sadly you have no control
In the past this happened
That Man you backstabbed said
Cast in your net
Go 'head and try once more
So massive a catch that it could not hold
Now that same man's on the side of the shore
Woah
And He told you to lower the net
So much fish that it's sinking the ship
Jump out and swim when you see that it's Him
Fall at His feet now as more than a man
The Creator of the sea and the land
He said
Peter do you love me?
Peter do you love me?
Peter do you love me?
Yes I do man
He said
Feed my sheep then
And feed my lambs
You went from the lowest of lows
To the highest command
You bounced
