1.	Rise and Grind 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Woke up this morning greeted by the sunshine I’m calling out of work today Ain’t gotta be on time But I’m up, good morning Said ’m up, what’s good Yea I’m up good morning Said I’m up, what’s good But I don’t wanna go unless you’re coming with me Said I don’t wanna go without you so you’re coming with me Rise and grind, rise and grind Rise and grind, rise and grind (Repeat all) Sitting in traffic the other day thinking to myself How many people rode hamster wheels and acquired wealth How many of us just fall in line and follow suit Why have the ball in your hand if you gon’ be scared to shoot Now here’s my perspective, middle finger to all who feel that I’m speaking reckless Did it y’all’s way for far too long Following the fray, that’s where I went wrong Go to school, get a job, work forty years die Oh you got a dream? Get your head up out the sky But I’m finding out, if you grind it out You’ll be better off than walking blind about the earth surfaces, and making purchases Of all the bs they sell when they spect you fail If you don’t set your sail, ain’t gon never take off Old and you sick ‘bout the time you don’t loss Or, you can get up offa your thing Use your voice, your talent, your brain gon out here and change some lives With some hard work vision and sacrifice Now grind But I don’t wanna go unless you’re coming with me Said I don’t wanna go without you so you’re coming with me Rise and grind, rise and grind Rise and grind, rise and grind

3.	Know My Way 03:24	lyrics	buy track
I don't know what the day is, what the day is gon bring But I know that I'm ready for whatever may come And if I go way too far and I lose my way I always, always know my way back home But if I should close my eyes before I see the whole day through That ain't nothing but a shame on me I can't put the blame on you So as I wind down these roads and whatever they turn I'm gon travel on my journey I'm gon live and learn But I don't wanna close my eyes before I see the whole day through I can't make your decision for you, no And you can't walk in my shoes And I know I'm going far And if I lose my way I always, always, always know my way back home my way back home my way back.
4.	You Better Live Now 01:24	lyrics	buy track
From the sky comes our help/ I mean we say it do Bow your head, close your eyes/ but who you praying to? Flexible morality/ yup, you be escaping too Same message, misconstrued/ who you relay it to? Never seeing eye to eye/ We not relatable Your God don’t like black or bi/ Oh, he a hater too The laws written in your B-I-/ who do they cater to? Telling me to not ask why/ Do what he say to do Woke up seen the world on fire/ And in a day or two The people started to realize/ that it was beautiful and we were sent to shine our lights/ life is dutiful So why wait for somebody else/ to do what you can do? Spread your wings, you wanna fly?/ You gotta leave the ground But in these new days and times/ Can’t even leave your town But you can open up your windows/ and take a look around Now take a gander into your soul/ Tell me what you found Distortion on electric guitar/ You hear the funky sound? Followed by the blaring of trumpets/ you think you heaven bound Can’t trust the government, nope/ bodies by the pound Never know the day or the hour/ You better live now! You better live now...
5.	Learning To Love 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Ain't that I ain't satisfied/ my baby love me good all day And I ain't out here looking to find/ nobody to take her place But 5'5"with light brown eyes/ came walking o'er my way I've been fighting the good fight/ ever since that day Chorus I've been learning to love with another/ Someone other than who I'm with (oh yeah) I've been learning to love with another/ Someone other than who I'm with Verse 2 She put up with my mess/ she let a man be a man So me walking out that door/ I don't think she'll understand I've been looking down that road/ tryna find where I might land (oh yeah, baby) But breaking my lady's heart/ was never in the plan Chorus But I've been learning to love with another/ Someone other than who I'm with (learning to love) I've been learning to love with another/ Someone other than who I'm with (learning to love) I've been learning to love with another (with another)/ Someone other than who I'm with I've been learning to love with another (with another)/ Someone other than who I'm with Bridge All is fair in love and war/ but I can't fight the feeling no more Temptation knocking at my door/ but it's more than a physical thing I never knew how to love before/ how to surrender and let it be But now I think I'm gon let love love on me (hey hey hey!) Verse My baby rock me fast asleep/ she get me up when the morning come Kiss my face, send me on my way/ you might think that she's the one But over on the other side of town/ way deeper than a little fun I don't wanna hurt my baby but/ I'm in love with another one Chorus
6.	Think About You 05:26	lyrics	buy track
Verse: Looking out of the window, so high in the air Headed miles and miles away with your love on my mind Work hard everyday, going out on the road again Feeling good cause I know you you’ll be there when I come back home Chorus: And when the music’s all done, and the light’s gone low And I’m all by myself, I think about you And when the music’s all done, and the light’s gone low And I’m all by myself, I think about you Verse: If I heard the story once, it’s been heard a million times There’s no room in life for more than one passion But I need your love as my anchor, for when I’m out in the world Tryna save a million lives, but who’s gonna save mine? Chorus guitar solo Bridge: They say all good things come to an end But I find myself in love, time and time again with you You’re constantly, you’re constantly on my mind That’s how I know you’ll be there, when I make my way back home again And when I touch down, your loving comes down Girl I’ve been missing you too No matter where I’m in the world, my heart is still with you Chorus
7.	Do You Wanna Find The Truth 01:55	lyrics	buy track
Verse: I wanna run, but I'm not sure where I'm going Wanna know, but afraid what might be shown Wish I was numb, cause I'm not sure what to feel Where do I go? How do I know what's really real? I wanna run, but I'm not sure where I'm going Wanna know, but afraid what might be shown Wish I was numb, cause I'm not sure what to feel Where do I go? How do I know what's really real? Chorus: Do you wanna find the truth? Is it all just an illusion? purposeful confusion? Do we wanna find the truth? Or are we happy cause they tell us we are? Verse I wanna love, but i just can't get to know you from afar Can't really tell just who you are is this the end? Or is it just a new beginning? Will you come? Got to be ready and be willing Wanna love, but i just can't get to know you from afar Can't really tell just who you are is this the end? Or is it just a new beginning? Will you come? Got to be ready and be willing Chorus: Do you wanna find the truth? Is it all just an illusion? purposeful confusion? Do we wanna find the truth? Or are we happy cause they tell us we are?

Verse: This world is a crazy crazy place/ with all kinds of dynamics going around We’ve got poverty, war and hate, seems like we don’t love one another We can’t seem to figure it out Chorus: But if you ever need a thing/ Just you ask If you ever need a thing/ Just ask If you ever need a thing/ Just you ask If you ever need a thing Verse: This life, such a crazy crazy thing You never know where the road turns, never know where the road ends But every day’s a new, chance for you, to do the best you can Another chance to try again Chorus Bridge: You should know, the storms will come But joy will always come in the morning Joy will always come in the morning You should know, that you will fall But I’ll be there to help you rise again Chorus

Talking heads all over the daily news, banking we're all fools Hanging onto the words that'll soon become our noose Peril in paradise, restricting our movements Imbalance of power, a president who's a nuisance Who's looking for truth? Who's bathing in bliss? Who fades in the wind, and whose name remains on the list The body is temporary, energy's infinite, use more than ten percent, possibilities limitless We were all born to die. earn to do the same Some pursue the power, Some yearn for the fame Some settle for scraps, some cock it and aim, Some ignoring the facts and we're all going insane Uncertainty, only thing that is certainly certain Mamas is still hurting, supremacists still lurking and murking our sons I can't fo for a run without potentially going under I'm starting to wonder if there's a safe space that I can reside in Somebody with my face, somebody with my skin Ain't made for hiding, but the hate be blinding My namesake means I was made for shining I'm tryna work, they tryna put me in retirement The problem is the they only ones that's firing The tome is now, so is you running or riding? Is you running or riding? Free
