Stay True

I want this thing forever
But everyday I
can’t get caught up

Too gifted to get caught up in the business
Handle my business
till I am my own business

Caught in judgments
but I love ya
so I let it go

I love ya
but some of you trouble
We had to part ways
Set you outside the bubble

Can’t get caught up

Life is a beautiful struggle

Make the money
Don’t let the money make you

Change the game
Don’t let the game change you

Stay true
Stay true

I’ve got an attitude
that displays gratitude

Plant your seed in the earth
so it can blossom
in the sunshine

Independent
don’t mean you’re broke
It means you’re
self-sufficient

I’m baskin’ in the sunshine
Enjoy the fruits of my labor
I put in work on the front line

Properly applyin’
Livin’ not dyin’

Sun keeps shinin’
Sun keeps shinin’

Progress becomes
undeniable!

Live your Passion

It’s a brand new day

If you’re passionate about what you do
like I’m passionate about this music

This song is for YOU

It’s like I can’t breathe
When I wake up in the morning
I can’t breathe
till I listen
feed my family
I affect the world

We ALL affect the world!

Music is like medicine
the sweetest sounds I ever heard
my joy, my heart, my music

Keep hold of those big dreams
Music saves you
Gives you knowledge of self
Use the inspiration it provides

Music is emotion
We listen to the same songs
but we hear them different

What do you hear
when you listen
to the music in your soul?

What makes you heart beat faster
like the drums?

What releases your stress and
connects you to your childhood dreams?

Live your passion!

Yearning to Fly

When you left us

I felt so low

Ice cold
at the bottom of the sea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyIEuVi5CTc

Now I know

We carry you in our hearts

And you watch over us

Our angel

Forevermore

Changes come
and we can’t stop them

So hold these memories tight
and never drop them

Some people are learning to die

I know that I’ll be
yearning to fly!

Speaking of Love

Love never dies a natural death.
It dies because we don’t know
how to replenish its source.
—Anaïs Nin

Speaking of love
Tell me how does it feel

Speaking of peace
Tell me how does it feel

Hate ain’t born in you
It’s just something they raised on

We’re all seeking the truth

I write all day and all night
And it feel like love
All right

Love love love
That’s what the world needs

Wanna shout it from the mountains
We got a good thing going on

I know
You know
We know
That what we have is real

When the sky is falling from above you
And the wind is raging at the coast

And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most

We gotta love ourselves so much
That the confidence attracts someone else

See when you forgive your imperfections
And you’ve auctioned all your clothes

And look to see your true reflection
YOU will be the one who loves you the most!

Bonus track:

Be patient like a rainbow
Everything will fall into place

Empathy is the Answer

I am prayin’
For all of those who ain’t got it

In order to receive
Then we need to give
We gotta feed the kids
They gotta eat to live

Lies never set you free
But the truth will

Can you feel
What they feel?

Let’s
Cultivate
Empathy

And there’s the gratitude

You can
find it

Even if you have to
think
really
hard

Where is it where is it
Where’s the gratitude?

Ahh there
it is

Practicing my gratitude, life is so beautiful
Working on that attitude

It only gets better, better
It only gets better from here

Your job is what you get paid to do
Your call is what you’re made to do
I got faith in you, you’re gonna make it through

Hey, let me break it down, oh, bless your hearts
Keep talking bout how stressed you are
Better talk about how blessed you are

Don’t let it take you off your base, let it motivate you
Don’t let it overtake you

Lord knows I had it hard today
Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way
Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here!

Keep Shining

This little light
of mine

I’m gonna
let it shine

You can have

All my shine

I’ll give you a
Light

Let me be
Your everlasting light

Let in the light

Let it in

We can
Light up the night

Remember:

A candle loses nothing
by lighting another candle

We just fill the world with more

Light
