We beat the statistics
Don’t need analytics
Cause they have no business
With you
No we never did this
But if we stay committed
Aligned in our visions of truth
So why they wanna talk about us?
Can you tell me, why they always wanna doubt us?
Tell me why they wanna talk about us
Cuz they ain’t got you
Cuz they ain’t got you
Cause they ain’t got you
You
You
You
Post-chorus:
No they ain’t got you
No they ain’t got you
(Ohhh)
Yea we’ll go the distance
With faith and persistence
It makes all the difference
its true
With god as my witness
When we have additions
I’ll love them no different
Than you
So why they wanna talk about us?
Why they wanna talk about us?
Tell me why they wanna talk about us?
Cuz they ain’t got you
They got nothing on you uuu uu

Love me
My sweet and chocolate lovey
I miss the way you love me, babe
Just love me like the 90s
Oh babe
Can you love me?
Like we’re in the 90s
Oh lovely
Just love me like a 90s ah babe
You put your dreams to side (dreams to the side)
Just come along if you wanna be with me
For the ride (me for the ride)
I don’t wanna be the one to tell ya how to be in the night
You can be who you like
You can do what you like
Babe It’s up to you to decide
Black love
I call for you
I need black love
You’re all I knew
In my adolescence
Past and present
All of the movies
All of the records
It’s in my spirit
My soul
I feel it
It’s one line that stuck with me
It said you can be in love
But how can you stay in love?
Tell me how to stay in love?
I love the movies
I love the songs
I love the words
I love your gown
But don’t let these sweet nothings mean nothing
I miss the way you love me
(Love me, love me, love)
My sweet and chocolate lovey
(Love me, love me, love)
I miss the way you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
Just love me like the 90s
(Just love me like the 90s babe)
I know you love me
Kisses so sweet babe
Mmmmm
(Ahhh uuuuuuu)
I can’t conceive it
I can’t believe it
(Ahhh uuuuuuu)
I can’t conceive it
I can’t believe it
Just speak like you mean it
I must be dreaming’
Baby baby
I can’t conceive it
Speak like you mean it
Cause I must be dreamin
I can’t believe this
I can’t conceive it
Just speak like you mean it
I must be dreamin’
Dreamin’
Dreamin’
(Mmmmmm)

Quarter to five
You hit my line
And started pressing me
You said it’s time
I need to reply
So come get in line
And just be here with me
I need to try
To spend some more time
With the one that’s right in front of me
And I need to spend
More than one minute
With the one that’s right in front of me
All things that glitter
Don’t mean that it’s gold
But What we have’s rare
So we’ve got to hold on
Love can fade fast
If you let it grow old
But our love remains
Unphased
Aroma fills the air
Summons my soul
And brings me near
And now that we’re here
It’s become clear
That all we need is tender love care
I need to try
To spend some more time
With the one that’s right in front of me
I need to spend
More than one minute
With the one that always loving me
All things that glitter
Don’t mean that it’s gold
But What we have’s rare
So we’ve got to hold on
Love can fade fast
If you let it grow old
But our love remains
Unphased
All things that glitter
Don’t mean that it’s gold
But What we have’s rare
So we’ve got to hold on
Love can fade fast
If you let it grow old
But our love remains
Unphased

We’re not the same
It’s not so easy being this way
Not one complaint
Yet you love me either way
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
My selfish ways
Obsessions unexplained
1 sword 2 blades
Yet you love me either way
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
We’re not the same
It’s not so easy being this way
Not one complaint
Yet you love me either way
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
Because your love
Your love
Remains the same
(Ahhh, oooooo)

Let Go

Don’t know why
But I can’t
Shake this feeling
Something big in store
For me god willing
Let go, let go
let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Granted access
Why am I still waiting?
Don’t need approval
It’s yours for the taking
Let go, let go
let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Angels watching over me
God willing
Scrolling mindlessly
Lord we need healing
Let go, let go
let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god
Let go, let go
Let god

I don’t know why
I cant find the answers
I don’t know why
Times moving faster
I don’t know why
Are we moving backwards?
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I’ve been so reactive
I don’t know why
I’m losing my traction
I don’t know why
Have I lost my passion?
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I’ve been so reactive
I don’t know why
I’m losing my traction
I don’t know why
Have I lost my passion?
I don’t know why
(Heyy eeee)
I’ll give my everything
I’ll give my everything
I’ll give my everything
I’ll give my everything
I’ll give my everything
I’ll give my everything
Quarantine coupled with the crisis of cops
Killing my colorful kindred kind’a got me in my feelings
Furthermore, my firstborn bore witness to more
Covid cases than CocoMelon
Pardon my projectin’
But I figure we all feel like fish fresh out of water,
Suffocating on a Sandy Hook of hang ups
Where unhinged punks pick kids to kill while courts
Only care to pass bills that ban bodies
Oddly autopsies stuck on autopilot ‘round these parts
Peace to the “Buffalo 10” off top
Peace to the 21 victims in Uvalde
I’m sorry, but I’ll admit it
My activism ain’t extended much beyond
This keyboard where wars are won with thumbs
I’m partially numb borderline desensitized
Tryin’ find the silver lining in this gold mind of mine
But …I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I cant find the answers
I don’t know why
Times moving faster
I don’t know why
Are we moving backwards?
I don’t know why
