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 02:08

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

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
