BACK TO THE MONEY
Verse 1:
I’m the rapper for the readers
Skankin’ in Adidas
from Rodeo to the Alameda
I’m your favorite teacher’s
favorite teacher
Smarter than your average Yogi Bear
follow the leader
Fancy like smoked paprika
Truffle butter from the gutter glad to meet ya
I’m that juju that will free ya
Innovative ultra creative entre-pre-negra
I can lead you to the river
Give you something Minnetonka can’t deliver (Woo!)
Cuz I feel like heaven
Tickle your mental and make the blood leaven (Boy!)
I’m lucky number 7
I’m the golden goose and that’s why you want me pregnant
I spit like a llama in pajamas with an attitude
But on my mama I ain't mad at you
I’m too busy gettin busy like a rabbit do
Coming through your city taking heads like a cannibal (Woo!)
What that grammar do
It’s absurd I flip verbs casual
flow so flammable (Ah!)

Bag full of money
Bag full of money

Verse 2:
I’m gettin back to the money
I leveled up now they say I’m actin funny
Nah, just a little grown for the okey doke
If I ain’t sorta rich, then I’m sorta broke
Everybody loves you when they can use you
When the shoe’s glued to the other foot they choose to
move through
like they never knew you
Boo hoo bitch cry me a Yoo-hoo
I’m through with you
cuz your attitude is boo boo
Fuck you pay me sou sou
I stand out like tu-tu’s
Fuck up a colonizer like I’m a Zulu
Give me a minute while I’m buffering Hulu
Laid back stacking up racks of this Bookoo
I give a good word but I’m not a preacher
I’m good in every hood even non-believers
Catch the holy spirit when I get to rapping
I’m tapped in
like 4 IV’s
Feel the drip
I’m so cold it’ll make you sick
Beat make you wanna dip,
stir it like a chip (Ah!)
Pre Hook:
I ain’t come to play with y’all

You gon be sorry that I came

So what you thought? I wasn't gon’ get no sneaks?
See I own the whole company put my name on the crease
New system in the whip just to bang this beat
Now the dope boys ain’t got to slang in the street
Currency creates options now I’m popping
Everywhere I go, see I'm the topic
Afro indigenous owned, check the Optics
Head to toe, goddess flow, know, I’m a problem
They used to say that we would squander all the money
But when they stole it from us we ain’t get to count their pockets, funny?
Now we hollering land back, time’s up
Whole crew mentality like Mamba

So for every back you broke - (reparations)
Everybody that you stole - (reparations)
Every mama strung on dope - (reparations)
It's time to pay up what you owe- (reparations)

KEY TO HAPPINESS Featuring Alex Isley
Verse 1:
On behalf of my sister fuck cancer
We’re going to live our best lives while we have the chance to
So forgive me if I drop it like a dancer
I’m celebrating cuz I finally found the answer
It's the subtle art of not giving too many fucks
And that don’t mean that you don't show your people love
It just means that you love yourself enough to let grown people be grown people and give it up
“Its above me now” is my mantra
I swear God can do more for you than I ever could
So I pull up out the hood with my entourage
That's my son, my 3 nieces, and my nephew Jamal, aye yall
Pre Hook:
I think I found the key to happiness
Got nothing to do with drugs or sex
Got nothing to do with who the best
I finally believe in happiness cuz oh
Hook:
I’m finally living freely
Aint worried about who or what ain’t for me
And even if the sun don’t shine
Even if life ain't kind
Victory’s mine, oooh
I finally found my happiness
Verse 2:
Sometimes my tears break through my smile
Telling the stories that I try to hide
Take it all in stride
Cuz shit, I got some tales I could tell you
Got a few days of spare time? I won't fail you
My therapist so entertained I need a refund
She keeps laughing at my pain asking for a rerun
Soap opera shit like young and the arrested
Thoroughbreded from a city that’s drug infested
I'm so glad I don’t wear it on my face
Keeping everything in place
You know black girls don’t age
Thank God I can sing away the pain
I can leave it on the stage
You know Imma be ok cuz
Pre Hook:
I think I found the key to happiness
Ain’t got nothing to do with drugs or sex
Got nothing to do with who the best
I finally believe in happiness cuz oh
Hook:
I’m finally living freely
Ain’t worried about who or what aint for me
And even if the sun don’t shine
Even if life ain't kind
Victory’s mine, oooh
I finally found my happiness
Verse 3:
I’ve been all around the world
and I must confess
I found true happiness
in those who had much less
Capitalism it got us all in a mess
Thinking joy can only come
from us having the best
shoes, cars, sex,
big name brands on our chests
You’s a fool! What you thought?
You just chasing the next
What we’re lacking is perspective
A true collective
Where we can feel connected and protected, loved and not rejected
It’s simple
Alex:
We’re all looking for the same thing
Love and safety
Somewhere where we belong
Oh it’s really not hard at all, cuz oh
Hook:
I’m finally living freely
Ain’t worried about who or what ain’t for me
And even if the sun don’t shine
Even if life ain't kind
Victory’s mine, oooh
I finally found my happiness

TIME
By Amir Sulaiman
I know I’ll never get even with time
And what it took from us
I mistook what was mine and what was time’s
And there was no bargaining
All contracts break under the burden of the ticking and the tocking
Why do they say time runs out
Time isn’t running
It doesn't have to
Time just walks, rolls out of the door
Into the distance
Disappearing over the horizon
But let us love
to forever fend off yesterdays and tomorrows
Let us love
Let your eyelids sink low as the evening tide
Let your moon pull me in
Breathe me deep into your belly
We’re not running out of time
We’re not running at all
We don't have to
There's no running out of time when we’re laying into love
Let us slip into the silk of the night
Wrap ourselves in a cocoon of its quiet and for a moment let us forget about the day as the day has certainly forgotten about us
Let us rest in the knowing that now won't last forever
But now is all of what we ever have
And now is the all of always
And let us love...Now

LOVE ME NOW
Verse 1:
If these should be our last days,
and our time has run out
If we are the signs the good book
warned us about
If we are the ones,
the ones we’ve had visions of
And all the prophets’ prophecies were of us
Spawned from the same source
We've loved so many times before
So for one last time
Take me I’m yours
Pre Chorus:
Love is infinite
Time has a start & end
Before the stars fall down
Oceans rise again
Take this moment in
Love me now
Before the moon descends
The horizon ends
Over tribes of men
And the righteous win
Take this moment in
Love me now
Chorus:
Love me now
Don't wait until tomorrow
This time we have is borrowed
Love me now
Don’t wait until tomorrow
This time we have is borrowed
Love me now
Verse 2:
When the sun consumes the earth
And gives birth to a new universe
The first shall be last
And the last shall be first
Purify the sins of man
Take away the curse
Pre Chorus:
Love is infinite
Time has a start & end
Before the stars fall down
Oceans rise again
Take this moment in
Love me now
Before the moon descends
The horizon ends
Over tribes of men
And the righteous win
Take this moment in
Love me now
Chorus:
Love me now
Don't wait until tomorrow
This time we have is borrowed
Love me now
Love me now
Don’t wait until tomorrow
This time we have is borrowed
Love me now
Bridge:
Take every minute of the day before
the hours pass away
Put every ounce of your love on display
Don't let the minor take the major place
Surrender now, be swept away
Tomorrow may be too late
Love me with every breath you make
Hug me until our souls embrace
Do it now with no delay
Tomorrow may be too late
Chorus:
Love me now
Don't wait until tomorrow
This time we have is borrowed
Love me now

FALSE EVIDENCE (F.E.A.R)
Now I lay you down to sleep
I pray the lord your soul to keep
You safe out in these city streets
away from all racist police
Who fear your light even before
the day that you were even born
No amount of being good will do
When their fear distorts the truth
This fear controls, it dominates
Giving everyone their part to play
Lives get stolen along the way
The opposite of love isn’t hate,
no it’s fear, oh it’s fear, oooooh it’s fear
But their fear is not your cross to bear
Let your light shine everywhere
So now I lay you down to sleep
I pray the lord your soul to keep you
Fearless living in your truth
Firm just like the tree with roots
Sweet just like the ripened fruit
Growing with God’s love in you
So don’t you compromise
Don’t you take a deal
I won’t buy those lies they tell
They’ll condemn your name
For mass appeal
It's just false evidence appearing real
It’s false evidence appearing real

NORTH STAR feat. D Smoke
My guiding light shines clear...
Verse 1 (D Smoke):
So,
A word to anyone who’ll listen
Or soldiers on a mission
From Nova Scotia to the southernmost ocean I boast for old traditions
While lesser men are comatose and frozen in a Polaroid I play my own position
A couple times they kicked me out of school even though I paid my intuition
Even though I prayed for better days
When pops was locked up in a metal cage
Old Joe’s with The Cornrows
A head of braids on a head of grays
Chasing greens and that feta cheese ‘stead of meditation to levitate
Some things you can’t shortcut
The good word can’t be paraphrased
When you get a stain your crown from fumbling down pick it up
And brush it off it’s part of the process
God made us from the dust
It’s called favor when stars shine the light on your Darth Vader, show you love
Even when you feeling low
You got your faith to hold you up
You got true art plus heart that darts can’t pierce walk game fierce
Graduate the block same year
Made a stream out of the same tears
Love lost
Same peers
Paid cost
Pain heals
Made adjustments through the changes
That’s exactly what a king is
Hook:
Baby, if you lose your way
It's only a prayer away
Your guiding light
Your North Star
Is with you, everywhere you are
Baby, if you lose your way
It's only a prayer away
Hold on
To your dreams
Remember you're a king
Verse 2:
I always been different
Spirit flowing through my ligaments
Thought provoking type of lyricist
Don’t come with no health benefits
I was too good, to be good enough
They hated that I made them level up
And I was just looking for a friend
Silly me, silly them
With the illy pen, I be killing men
What's a lost man’s medicine
A real ass kinda reckoning
Petty me, petty them
The righteous road’s a lonely one
The words I told my only son
The weak will fold and come undone
The strong will grow and lead them up
But
What you do when no one agrees with you, huh?
Can you still speak the truth?
With no amens
Or no co signs
Or no praise hands on the posts lines
Everybody do the most now
Trying to prove that they woke, huh?
May God give us discernment
From fake prophets and the posers
These days can't tell the sane from the profane
Calling shit drips chocolate rain
Everything’s for sale it’s a damn shame
I’ve been woke so long my eyelids swoll
You couldn't know this road I’m on
I pray we make it home
My king my son, my throne, to carry on
Word bond
Bridge:
I‘ll be standing on square
Wherever I go I'm right here
Even when there’s fear
My guiding light shines clear
Lifting me above the crowd
Eagle’s view above the clouds
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hook:
Baby, if you lose your way
It's only a prayer away
Your guiding light
Your North Star
Is with you, everywhere you are
Baby, if you lose your way
It's only a prayer away
Hold on
To your dreams
Remember you're a king
You’re a king

WORK
Hook:
Work, work
Put in work, make it work, gone and work, get it work
Put in work, make it work, gone and work, get it work
Put in work, make it work, gone and work, get it work
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
Verse 1:
I’m from the seed of blackness
Check out the lean in my stature
I’m certified, seen with binoculars
You could never find another Queen who can capture
From the temples to the ghettos slums get ‘em enraptured
I'm a trail blazer
I'm a hell raiser
I'm already major
I don't need no favors
I got 7 black ass names to choke your tongue
I got a calling on my life that will get you done
I’m deeply rooted
My scalp ain’t never a felt no perm
I’m darkly suited
Like I'm back from a case adjourned
Black as the hole in ya mama’s universe
where you was formed
The point of no return
where field niggas are born
Branded by the scorn,
lusting black body porn
Master’s Brown babies
scattered ‘round like corn
Henrietta Lacks
Eve gene what I'm on
We some super blacks DC/Bmore
Stand up in the back, where you at hardcore
Now get ‘em on the floor, get ‘em get ‘em on the floor
Hook:
Make it work, gone and work, get it work, put in work
Make it work, gone and work, get it work, put in work
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
I’m putting work in, ‘til they close the curtain, gone go berserk then, giving them a hurting
Verse 2:
I’m too saucy bitch get off me
You couldn’t even deal
with the shit this cost me
I was black back when black wasn't a trend
I was too black for you new blacks to let me in
You was scared I would say something
that might offend
A little black is an accent
A lot of black is threatening
Most of y’all are too scared to be yourselves
You’d rather trade your freedom in
for a comfortable cell
And I get it, you’ve worked hard
for the spot you got
Ain’t trying to have no field nigga
making the block hot
You surprised I’m still alive
and better than ever
Shining like new money
still upsetting the setup, ha
Queen of Culture
Bringing dis-ease to you vultures
Watching me like a pin up poster
Copying my steez like a counterfeit sculpture
But that God frequency just dripping off her
Alhamdulillah
High priestess of these bars
I'm a quadruple threat
Nebular super star
I’m too big to stay in my lane
Murder you all
I'm staking my claim, I’m a hurricane avatar
This ain’t that palatable black
Manageable tact
Matter fact
It’s that Hannibal attack
Flammable ‘gnac in your back
This ain’t that knee bent, kente cloth accent for Appeasement
This that chain shattering black, take a moment for Bereavement

BREATHE
By Raquel Ra Brown
We circle the sun.
Contracted to be whole here on this blue ball called Earth,
it begins at birth.
We routine our lives in and out of worry
and complain about problems that are created
not of the Creator.
This illusion we think in to our everyday as real but
we are here so, it feels like something that could break the road to the other side.
The pothole paved, fork in the soup,
the loop we attempt to stay in is just deja vu.
To think is to pray.
Do you trust or just believe?
The magic in the skin of black and brown spirits knows of no such thing as sin.
It’s just the illusion again.
The cycle continues,
breathe,
Live,
breathe,
Pray,
breathe,
Die,
breathe,
Grieve,
breathe,
Celebrate life again.
I know. It isn’t easy but it isn’t hard.
Find your way, a way,
the way in this illusion of life.
Think... Like God.

FIND A WAY feat. Amber Navran
Chorus: Amber
You’re gonna find a way
Give it another day
Don’t have to be ok
You’re gonna find a way
Verse 1: Amber
You’re gonna find a way
There’s blessings in your mistakes
Let them, let them call it strange
Every good dream’s insane
Rap verse 1: Mumu
Lord knows, we gon find a way
like we always do
These moments make me grateful
for what I been through
Hustling as a single mother
Struggle only made me tougher
Asking God “why me?” He said why not you?
Who better than my daughter to navigate these rough waters
And live to tell the stories that will touch a million mortals
Cuz God can't use your ego
Life will humble you
and have you curled up in fetal
Positioning, when you ain't listening to the angels whispering
Face pressed to the ground whimpering
And above every ceiling is another floor
See its levels to these lessons,
don't miss out on yours
Cuz when you built yourself up
from the ground
And the storm get to pouring,
you know how to rebound
The totem of a hood rat, is a natural survivor
Whatever doesn't kill us, just gives us power
Chorus: Amber
You’re gonna find a way
Give it another day
Go on and take a break
You’re gonna find a way
Verse 2: Amber
You’re gonna find a way
The mind plays a funny game
Rebirth without the pain
That’s never been a thing
Verse 2 : Mumu
Hard times show you what really you made of
How strong are your morals
when you’re laid off
How hard is hustle
when your mortgage ain’t paid off
And desperation sets in
in ‘bout 7 different flavors
Now them likes you paid for,
they won’t save ya
But the faith that you prayed for is major
Remember what you made of
Labor
Comes before the birth of the baby
Nature
Always finds a way up through the pavement
Laymans
We were designed to survive any time or situation
We fried yakami with ketchup and broccoli
We the epitome of ain't nothing stopping me
Spend our last 5 on the lottery,
optimism possibly
Foolishness probably,
hoping maybe it will end the fuckery
We been here before, the bottom ain’t new
Another glass ceiling that we gotta find a way through
Chorus: Amber
You’re gonna find a way
Give it another day
You already got the strength
You’re gonna find a way
Vamp: Amber & Mumu
Keep pushing
Just Keep pushing
Keep Pushing
Just keep pushing
Keep pushing
Just keep pushing
Just keep pushing
Just keep pushing

If God covers me
Blessings on blessings
Where I can not see
I feel his presence guiding me
So if I believe
Why do I worry and toss in my sleep
Sometimes I feel like my own enemy
Fighting the water
We gon’ drown in the sea
But what's the use in praying if
Hook:
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
if you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
Verse 2:
I swear, prayer works when you work it
It hits different when you’re living on purpose
You don’t have to figure it out alone
You don’t have to do without no more
Worrying don’t buy you no time
Worrying don’t give you a dime
It don't make it alright
Give it to God
Nah really give it to God
Or what’s the use in praying
Hook:
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
Verse 3:
When a simple “how you doing”?
is a loaded weapon
I say I'm blessed to keep you from asking further questions
And yes
Ok, I'm blessed but I'm also a mess
And perplexed
With anxieties of what could happen next
It’s crazy
Fear ain’t even real
It's just the way we feel
About something that hasn't happened
Probably never will
We the greatest storytellers
We so innovative
Jumping to conclusions
It gives the worries flavor
And the best screenplay award goes to
the worry wart inside you
That over thinks it through
Worst case scenarios
Always comes to blows
Never let you sleep
Never give you peace from your foes
We take the burden on and carry it
But pain don't decompose when you bury it
It only grows unexposed
Til you're marrying it
Now that’s the scariest
But what's the use in praying if
Hook:
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
(Adlibs: if you’re still going to worry)
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
(Adlibs: when you've done all you can do, God will pull you through, what’s the use in worrying/ what’s the use in praying if you’re going to worry)
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
If you’re going to worry
(Adlib : Give it to God/ Baby don’t worry/ ahhhhh/ What’s the use)
What’s the use in praying
What’s the use in praying
(Adlibs: Oh If you're going to worry/ baby don't you worry/ Don’t worry, oh don’t worry, baby don’t you worry, oh don’t worry)
