[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I (x4)
[Verse 1: TalentIsAlive]
Born in the sun, trying to find a way
Momma said "boy, go make a brighter day"
I could never fall by the wayside
That's why I take the time to walk the line, to work the grind
It hurts sometimes, I've been feeling like I'm stuck
I've been down on my luck
All I know is that I gotta get up, I can never give up
I'm a veteran, unh
What you know about me?
Hard to keep going when you're living off trust
Grew out of darkness as black as his skin
Funny, that same darkness made you shine from within
Hope you don't shine too soon, under full moon
You're in full bloom, young moonflower, it's a new hour
Show your full power, you're a grown man
So let em understand who you are when they ask
[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I (x4)
[Verse 2: The Bizkid]
(hums)
I'm just a child of God
Hope that I could live a life that's worth a mild applause
They see me as a silhouette with a probable cause
I see me as another vet that's out defying the odds
I'm defining the odds
I went from survive to successin', from manic depression
To man with the blessing, demanding attention
Bodying bars with a vengeance
It's in my DNA
I'm only moving forward, man, I've got no time to stay
If this ain't history, I'm only getting better
You feel the beat? That's the heartbeat of my ancestors
Like that y'all, I'm a king on my own
I don't need another nobody to tell me what I know
You can call on T'Challa, I got God on the phone
To think that even for a sec I lost my seat to the throne
Come on
[Chorus: Joelle]
Who am I

[Verse:]
Look, I pray I make it
Through all the chances taken
So many niggas faking
For me to put my trust in man
You understand this here
It be a spiritual connection
with the people upstairs
Like maybe God is a woman
Or maybe God is a being
That's deeper than anything
That anyone's ever seen
Or been able to wrap out minds around
'Cause I have found
Over time, we've got so many views of God
But no sense of you and I
So we try to rationalize
Who we are, when, and why
But it's deeper than the surface
Of the things before your eyes
Where's the truth at?
'Cause truthfully I see a lot of lies
And that's a true fact
Opinions end up serving up all the blind
With a piece of humble pie
I guess we stuck in pride
I guess when ego dies
The spirit, it will reside
In a place that ain't crowded
With the (?) of time
Wasted and faced with the reality of life
Bless.
[Refrain: (x2)]
Tell me where we go, oh
Tell me where we go, oh
Tell me where we go, oh
Tell me where we go, oh
Tell me where we go
Tell me where we go
Tell me where we go, oh
Tell me where we go, oh

[Verse 1:]
Hey, do you feel me
What can I say, really really
See, we can be together
But it might not be forever
Ooh, say, I'm just playing
Unless you dig what I'm saying
It can be whatever,
Baby, it can be whatever
[Chorus:]
Don't try to stop it
If everything is telling you go
And if you want me to, I'll let you take it slow
Tell you everything that you want to know
Where you want to be
Where you want to go with me
[Verse 2:]
And I'm just saying that I might never see you again
But if you play your cards right, maybe we could be friends
Or at least just pretend (just pretend baby)
Just tell me when (tell me when, baby)
But I'll be honest with you,
I don't really want you to go
Soon as you walk out that door baby
I'm-a be all alone
Put your number in my phone
Call me when your home
[Chorus:]
Don't try to stop it
If everything is telling you go
And if you want me to, I'll let you take it slow
Tell you everything that you want to know
Where you want to be
Where you want to go with me

Interlude (I'm Tired)

[Verse:]
Here's an interlude
I got a tired attitude
I'm tired of voicing opinions and people
Thinking I'm rude
I'm tired of putting on personas for a couple of views
I'm tired of music, this department,
And I'm tired of Hughes
I'm tired of trying to be nice to people
Who think I owe it to you
'Cause I don't owe it to you
I'm tired of preserving egos
Of undeserving people
Running away from themselves
While keeping their two faces equal
I'm tired of fakeness in general
And I'm tired of being fake
I'm tired of success meaning
"To do whatever it takes"
I'm tired of code switching
Flipping through scripts just to be on the pay
I can't work for your company if it's a
Petting zoo for the snakes
And I'm tired of this concept of striving to be great
I'm already great
If I'm not trying to be better
It's already too late
I'm tired of writing this
What's next...

[Intro:]
What is it you want, Mary?
What do you want?
Y- you want the moon?
Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.
Hey that's a pretty good idea.
I'll give you the moon, Mary.
[Verse:]
Take me back to the night
When I get lost in your eyes
And our bodies intertwine
Underneath the warm summer sky
Bring me back to your soul
Where you make me feel whole
If you change your mind, let me know
My heart is still yours to hold
[Chorus:]
My skin is gets a summer breeze
Your smile was my sweet release
Everything that I'll ever need
Is waiting right here with me
Your hand running through my hair
We live life without a care
All the sweetness we ever shared
Is now bitter and is laying bare
[Verse:]
Take me back to the night
You told me everything was alright
Let's go back in time
When your heart had a home in mine
Bring me back to your soul
Where we lose all control
I can't seem to let you go
My heart is still yours to hold

[Verse: Nariah Taylor]
Ooh, late night with you got me estatic
You got me feeling so fantastic
I want you
Nothing else to weigh
No tricks or rules
(Yeah, JSY
Yeah, let's get it)
[Verse: JSY]
These tricks are for kids, these tricks are for fools
These tricks'll trick you out for some diamonds and pearls
Capture your attention, try to give it a whirl
Add a little pizzazz like a Superman curl
Man, I don't mean to be rude, I don't mean to offend
A girl that's too perfect only leads to your end
'Cause if it feels too real, it's only pretend
Like a Oscar, better get out as fast as you can
Yeah

[Verse: Janaya Hunt]
I love to love on me like honey in sweet tea
Make my body buzz like a queen bee
Mystical cravings for this divine sensation with high vibrations
Make you feel holy
Blesseth be thy name that worships my existence
Honey dipped & sunkissed, lips covered in royal spit
Yes, this is me saying I'm the shit, no need to tell me it.
It, is contagious
My love for me is...
[Verse: The Bizkid]
Like ambrosia eating
Like feasting from finding deeper and different meaning
In me-ing, in being
Soul sun-soaked in passion and freedom
Peppered with some magic and dreaming
Yeah I am brown-skinned
It's 'cause I'm so well-seasoned
It's like finding home inside of the skin I'm in
Castle of melanin
Marbled maple, it's elegant
Syrup down to the skeleton
I love me like I'm all that I got
Like I'm all I need
I hold onto my worth like it's the last air that I can breathe
I love me more than what a mirror delivers,
what a girl can consider or what the world finds familiar
[Verse 3: Janaya Hunt]
Care for yourself like ish cares for self
Crave for yourself like a midnight munchie
My body reminds me of an outer body experience
Habitually awakening my intergalactic being
Eye see me, Triple T me, now I'm a triple threat
I know I'm chosen you can call tell from the way I wrote this script
Black magic hocus pocus make 'em melanin sick
So sickening how I'll leave 'em shooketh
Don't you know God took his time on this
I wasn't made for it's just in me
