  • Had my expectations lowered last week

    Face to face when we talked

    I could see

    Something in your eyes

    Wasn’t gonna work right this time

    My heart it dropped

    Hit the floor

    To my feet

    Couldn’t breathe

    Made me feeling like there was something I

    Coulda seen

    Coulda done

    Coulda said

    Differently

    But I

    Shoulda known better

    Shouldn’a got attached

    Should’ve cut the tie, when I had the chance

    Wish I’d known better, before I left your place

    I got one more thing I need to say

    Whenever you fool with love

    It’s gonna fool with you too

    If you wanna fool with love

    I hope you get what’s coming to you

    If you wannna go ahead then break my heart

    Then lie to me and just restart with someone new

    If you wanna Fool with love

    Boy I hope it makes a fool out of you

    Baby even though you were so bad to me

    I couldn’t tell if I should really leave

    Had me questioning myself thought you were someone else

    With the way you put your hands on me

    I thought maybe this time it’d be different it’d be right

    We could fix it, we’d be fine

    You’d be mine, we’d fall in line

    But you had your own intentions that were different

    Oh I

    Shoulda known better

    Shouldn’a got attached

    Should’ve cut the tie when I had the chance

    Wish I’d known better before I left your place

    I got one more thing I need to say

    Whenever you fool with love

    It’s gonna fool with you too

    If you wanna fool with love

    I hope you get what’s coming to you

    If you wanna go ahead then break my heart

    Then lie to me and just restart with someone new

    If you wanna fool with love

    Boy I hope it makes a fool out of you

  • Seen you walking round town

    Like you been crowned the king 

    Of everything

    On your high horse now  

    Don’t wanna show your face round here

    Should wear your hat low 

    Everyone knows 

    You got two sides to you babe 

    I anticipate you know your way around a game  

    The way you’re playin so unfair 

    The way you’re lying that you care

    The way you take your self pity too far into despair 

    Only when you want it 

    Only when you need it

    That’s when I hear you say that 

    You got it 

    I wanna see how 

    You flaunt it

    All you do is talk and talk about it 

    And I ain’t heard nothing but nothing but nothing but nothing but 

    Bad bad bad news about you baby 

    Been a long time coming back around on who you claim to be 

    Nobody believed me when I said you were dangerous 

    Dangerous

    I see it your eyes

    See it your smile 

    See it when you cry

    Only when you want it

    That’s when I hear you say that 

    You got it 

    I wanna see how you flaunt it 

    All you do is talk and talk about it 

    I ain’t heard nothing but nothing but nothing but 

    Bad bad bad news about you baby 

    You got it 

    I wanna see how you flaunt it 

    All you do is talk and talk about it 

    I ain’t heard nothing but nothing but nothing but 

    Bad bad bad news about you baby 

    You got it 

    (You got it, You got It)

    I wanna see how you flaunt it 

    (Oh, oh the way you flaunt it baby)

    All you do is talk and talk about it

    I ain’t heard nothing but nothing but nothing but 

    Bad bad bad news about you baby

    Wanna feel you grinding in the dark

    Yea

    Speed dial, quick turn around

    Baby when you move like that

    I want you crawling back (back back)

    I want you crawling

    I just want a taste (a taste, a taste, a taste)

    Of you

    Peaches and white lace (a taste, a taste)

    Deja vu

    Flavoured cherry lip balm

    Covered in kisses all night night night

    Yea

    I just want a taste

    Just a taste

    Of you

    Ah, Ah

    I got whatever you need

    Scratch me or bite me, you can do whatever you please

    (Please)

    Lemme leave you at ease

    So good I might drop to my knees cause

    I just want Ah

    Yea

    (Taste babe)

  • Last night you said forever babe

    Did you mean it, is that what you meant to say?

    Is it a heat of the moment kind thing with you?

    Outta sight outta mind is how I feel with you

    If I’m not

    Right there wrapping my arms around your neck

    Feels like you’d rather be with somebody else instead

    So I flip on you

    Gotta switch on you

    Can’t be played a fool

    It's not like me to lose myself inside of somebody else

    But I fold into a shell of all the love that I’ve felt

    Got me catching my breath so I can deal with it

    Please

    What the hell is going on?

    He’s so fine

    That boy’s so

    So fine

    So fine

    So fine

    Na na na na na na

    He’s so fine

    That boy’s so

    So fine

    So fine

    So fine

    I’m foolish when I fall I fall hard I fall fast

    When I’m in love I feel like my heart is on blast (it won’t last)

    No, I crash and burn every time that I turn into something I’m not

    When I love I love hard, it’s not all for not

    When I love I love right, 'cause it's all I got

    When I give I don’t tend to take a lot

    Yea you’ll know what I mean straight from the start

    Baby if you look into my eyes you’ll find I don’t hide behind a disguise to shade the truth of what I truly feel like

    Got these past demons under my wings

    Got things (I don’t wanna think about)

    Yea the doubt it brings

    When I find that I don’t take into account all the traits like his lies, or his smile, or my laugh, if we’ll last

    But I notice that all my photographs are of him

    He’s so

    fine

    That boy’s so

    So fine

    So fine

    So fine

    Na na na na na na

    He’s so fine

    That boy’s so

    So fine

    So fine

    So fine

  • Dulling my soul to your taste

    Turning good love to chores

    Living to carry your weight

    Baby I want more

    I’m not running from my problems I’m running (running from, running from, running from) from yours

    Past might catch up to me but hell I’m cleaning out your drawers

    Your shit get lost with it

    Don’t talk, just walk with it

    Oh

    If you can’t love on this

    Go talk your shit

    Get lost with it

    Oh

    And I spent so much time apologizing for who I am

    I can’t stand (I can’t stand it)

    The rain against my window pane (against my window)

    Knowing things will never be the same

    (Yea, yea, yea)

    The sky is crying out your name

    And all I can think is

    When did I change?

    (When did I, when did I, when did I)

  • (Letting me leave, letting me know)

    (Letting me leave, letting me know)

    (Letting me leave, letting me know)

    Whispered sorry’s under your breath

    Doesn’t mean you mean them

    Stories are just another word for lies

    Somehow I reconcile my feelings

    But it’s hard to keep this all inside

    Won’t you go and let go of the past

    Can’t you see that we won’t last

    Let Me Leave

    Let Me Leave

    (Letting me leave, letting me know)

    Empty thoughts are my secret

    (Letting me leave, letting me know)

    And you don’t even know how hard it is to keep that all to myself

    No no no babe

    Somehow I let go of all I mean when, I let it lift me up and carry me away

    Won’t you go and let go of the past

    Can’t you see that we won’t last

    Let Me Leave

    Just Let Me Leave

    Let Me Leave

    Let Me Leave

  • When did I lose my way

    Ah, Ah

    You know they say good things don’t come easy

    And I know that I ain’t been at it long

    But I’m starting to feel that I’m weaker than I am strong

    We all got a story we want to tell

    And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know mine very well

    Took me too long to see the truth

    That what lied so deep beneath was a lie too

    I grow so tired of faking it all the while

    Oh, I grow so tired of lying while I smile

    I can’t do it no more, I can’t do it no more, I can’t do it no more

    Gotta see it through

    Through my reflection (through my reflection)

    And I apologize for what I didn’t know

    On a road that I walk as I go it all alone

    No one’s there to hold my hand but that’s the way I made it be

    So I can take some time to learn a bit bout me

    I grow so tired of faking it all the while

    Why do I grow so tired of lying while I smile

    I can’t do it no more, I can’t do it no more, I can’t do it no more

    Gotta see it through

    Through my reflection (through my reflection)

    Gotta see it through

  • Water over me

    I burn or I freeze

    The steam in the air 

    Is filled with my tears 

    Then the minutes pass 

    I don’t seem to care 

    And the tile sweats

    Out all my fears

    Reminiscing on the shower floor 

    Mourning who I was before 

    I let these feeling wash over me 

    Reminiscing on the shower floor 

    Mourning who I was before 

    I lost the real me 

    Heat builds and I can’t move 

    I’m stuck inside an endless loop 

    My hands I know ain’t clean 

    I’ve done things that I just don’t mean 

    Outgrown who I once was 

    Got me trying to scrub it off 

    Reminiscing on the shower floor 

    Mourning who I was before 

    I let these feeling wash over me 

    Reminiscing on the shower floor 

    Mourning who I was before 

    I lost the real me

    Wash over me

 
 
ZENON Falling (Into You)
  • Fingertips graze your lips, I want you

    Those green eyes mesmerize, do you want me?

    And that kiss, well I miss

    Moi je rêve dans la jour de ton bisou

    Et je pense, tout le temp de la sourire sur ta bouche

    It’s just you, only you

    Tell me truthfully do you feel this too?

    Feel me Falling

    Got me Falling

    I’m caught Falling

    Into you, into you, into you, whoa

    Into you, into you, into you

    Don’t play coy baby you know exactly what I’m here for

    I can see it in the way you move the way you pull my hips and push me into you, slowly

    I can feel it in the way you touch, the way you grip, the way you let your head rest on me, like you’ve been lonely

    It’s just you, simply you

    Tell me truthfully do you want this too?

    Je n’ai pas oublié les sentir de tes bras

    Oh, je n’ai pas oublié  tous que j’ai fait pour toi

    Non, je n’ai pas oublié que ton autre amant était plus importante que moi

    No I didn’t forget

    You left me You left me You left me

    You left

    Falling I’m still Falling

    I’m caught Falling

    Into you, into you, into you, whoa

    Falling Yeah, I'm Falling

    I’m still Falling

    I’m caught Falling

    Into you, into you, into you, whoa

 
 
  • Leave my name off your tongue, babe

    I’ve been working so hard

    I can never do right

    I can never do wrong

    Maybe this time

    If I get through the night

    If I sing you this song,babe

    You gonna run it back now

    You gone turned you back now

    You gonna make me feel now

    And I don’t want to feel

    That’ll make it real

    Got to get on out

    Trying to hit indica blue

    Trying to blaze without you

    We used to do, we used do it so good, so

    I wish I could tell you how much I don’t want you to stay here with me but I can’t, no I can’t

    I got to let that shit (*it all) go to a blank, so

    Leave my name off your tongue, babe

    I leave this smoke in my lungs

    Breath in deep, I sigh you out, ha

    Been so low there’s only up now

    We’re talking long and through the nights

    Damage is done between you and I

    So leave my name off your tongue, baby

    I leave this smoke in my lungs

    If I could roll one more J, just to blow that in your face, well I would

    Got a snake on my arm to remind me of all the shit (*things) I go through

    ‘Cause I’m shedding my skin, just to be a new bitch (*girl) when I get rid of you

    Yeah, I’ll roll one at that and smoke it up back with my new man in view

    it’s true you changed, I did too

    But you made the wrong moves

    You switched up on me baby

    And made me feel like a damn fool

    Feel like I’ve been gypped and jaded

    Trying to get faded

    Bazing on this new shit (*blunt)

    Wishing my head wasn’t thinking about you

    Oh, oh, oh

    Leave my name off your tongue, baby

    I leave your smoke in my lungs

    Breath in deep I sigh you out, ha

    Been so low there’s only up now

    We’re talking long and through the night

    Damage is done between you and I

    So leave my name off your tongue, baby

    I leave this

    I leave this smoke in my lungs

    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    I leave this smoke in my lungs

  • Mmmm, yeah, yeah

    My man he always comes home late

    Never asks what’s on my plate

    Doesn’t seem to give a damn about my day

    Well I say okay

    I’ll be gone one day

    He never seems to do me right

    I do him better most of the time

    Feels like I’m waiting on his every moment and his every dime

    He’s always asking me to change

    Switch up do things his way

    But I won’t have to change who I am

    To find a good man

    Who loves me for who I am

    What he doesn’t know

    I’m fine without him

    What I don’t show

    Won’t change it

    What he doesn’t know

    Is I’m fine on my own

    What he doesn’t know won’t make or break it

    What he doesn’t know is I can take it

    What he doesn’t know is I’ll get by on my damn own

    Every time I see him less than before

    He seems to stop and stare more and more

    I thinking he’s starting to see what he’s been missing

    The lips he ain’t kissing

    I’m sure

    I’m always putting on the brakes

    Tell myself it’s all my own mistakes

    But feels like he’s always slacking and

    I’m always picking it up from the back end

    He’s always asking me to change

    Switch up do things his way

    But I won’t have to change who I am

    To find a good ass man

    Who loves me for who I am

    What he doesn’t know

    I’m fine without him

    What I don’t show

    Won’t change it

    What he doesn’t know

    Is I’m fine on my own

    What he doesn’t know won’t make or break it

    What he doesn’t know is I can take it

    What he doesn’t know is I’ll get by on my damn own (I’ll get by on my own)

    RAP: EDIT**

    Well, When I broke it off I came off really harsh

    But I got no respect for you

    I really wasn’t meant for you

    Talk about now that I’m gone you don’t know what you want

    I’m about to be your type forever

    Won’t find no one to treat you better, and

    You’re gonna be looking for that brown skin, brown hips of a girl

    The one that changed the game and changed your whole world

    But our difficult times call a difficult past

    I knew we wouldn’t last

    You never had me gassed

    Always treat me bad

    Don’t think I’ll let it pass

    You don’t even understand

    What I’m going through right now

    I’m tryin’ to make up my mind about you somehow

    And it’s not a different place not a different time

    No it’s not my state of mind

    I really think I’m fine

    You just never see the shit I’m going through

    No, What he doesn’t know

    I’m fine without him

    What I don’t show

    Won’t change it

    What he doesn’t know

    Is I’m fine on my own

    What he doesn’t know won’t make or break it

    What he doesn’t know is I can take it

    What he doesn’t know is I’ll get by on my damn own

    What He Doesn’t Know

  • Well the songs that I’m singing

    They ain’t coming out right

    And the love I’ve been givin’

    Isn’t the same every time

    I’m just being honest I don’t know what I’m wanting

    Please just lay it on me cause I know I’m really stressin’

    I just need some company to take me all the way I see it

    This could be the reason this could be the place I’ve never been before

    When the songs that I’m singing

    Take me to a state where I can be more comfortable

    Give me space to figure it out once and for all

    I’m just asking questions

    Tryin to find some answers in the way of where I feel and where I’m gonna land

    Maybe one day you’ll have my back through it all

    When the songs that I’m singing

    Yhey ain’t coming out right

    And the love I’ve been giving

    Isn’t the same every time

    Oh, and I’m just asking why

    Yeah I gave it to you

    You put up walls

    I couldn’t break through

    Now it’s a mess

    And I’m falling in love

    Why you walking away

    And I’m opening up

    But I just got to say

    That I’m proud of myself

    For speaking my truth

    And this time around, I truly

    Feel like I’m going down

    Oh I just gotta say

    Maybe I should walk away

    You made up your mind

    Without asking me what’s on mine

    Barely believe you could waste this much of our time

    You see I don’t know when I’m feeling confused

    Do you even care about seeing us through

    ‘Cause I never had a single doubt in my mind

    Until you broke my heart

    Now baby I’m trying

    Oh I just gotta say,

    that maybe I should walk away

    Oh, oh should I stay or should I go

    Or maybe I walk away, yeah

    Maybe I should walk away

  • You bring me hunger

    and You bring me greed

    Somedays you even bring me jealousy

    But I’m too full of pride to leave

    Had my bags packed for months now

    But my lust got in the way

    ‘Cause there’s aint’ no more love here, just an angry shell of what I used to be, oh

    I got my 7 seven deadly sins in my back pocket

    I got my 7 seven deadly sins coming through

    And they rear their ugly heads

    Telling me to shed my skin, oh, oh, oh

    But little do they know, that’s just where it begins

    With my 7 deadly sins

    And I’m lazy about the way I do things for this love

    I’m always hoping and holding out for something else to evolve

    But I don’t got no more love here so I don’t know why I stay

    Well maybe it my gluttony that’s wanting more of it physically, oh, oh

    I got my 7 seven deadly sins in my back pocket

    I got my 7 seven deadly sins coming through, oh, oh, oh

    Then they rear their ugly heads

    Telling me to shed my skin, oh

    But little do they know, that’s just that’s just where it begins

    With my 7 deadly, 7 deadly sins

    Oh, ooh

    No, no, no, no

    Oh, oh, oh

    Oh, I got my 7 seven deadly sins in my back pocket

    Oh I got my 7 seven deadly sins coming through

    And they rear their ugly head

    Telling me to shed my skin, oh

    But little do they know, that’s just that’s just where it begins

    With my 7 deadly, 7 deadly sins

What It Was - explicit
  • I got people in my ears telling me some shit

    Why they wanna do me wrong, how they trying do me dirty

    I got people in my ears telling me a story

    Every week they try to speak on something differently

    And my momma raised me right

    Told me not to fight

    Gotta pick my battles, and

    This ones pretty tight

    There are people asking questions

    Instead of answers we got gun possessions

    Two sides pulling triggers

    One’s real and one’s a figure

    Because speech has been forgotten

    Freedoms been digressing

    People fight oppression

    Every day someone countin’ blessings

    All that’s heard is

    What It Was

    What It Was

    What It Was

    Ain’t how it is no more

    oh, Someone’s gotta get us back on track

    Someone needs to come bring us back to

    What It Was

    But it was never like that

    Wanna talk about the media let’s talk

    Unreliable sourcing, unaccountable, people overpaid and ditzy

    Missing the good old days the 50s

    Anti-feminist separatist facilities

    Inequality searching for equity

    Oh, we shouldn’t have to say it twice to make anyone understand

    When they spouting a bunch of bullshit

    No ones gonna hold their hand
Through the ups and downs the turn arounds

    We don’t see no change and

    All that’s heard today is

    What It Was

    What It Was

    What It Was

    Ain’t how it is no more

    oh, Someone’s gotta get us back on track

    Someone needs to come bring us back to

    What It Was

    Show me why this is the part where they change the headlines to read what they want

    Speaking faith, speak in rhymes, speaking up, losing lives and what’s more is

    What It Was

    What It Was

    What It Was

    Ain’t what you should stand for

    oh cause

    What It Was

    What It Was

    What It Was

    Ain’t how it is no more

    No one’s gonna come and bring us back

    Get us back on track for greater than

    What It Was

    ****Faded in background****

    What It Was

    What It Was

    What It Was

    oh, What It Was

    No it was never like that.

 
 
 
Something About
  • There's something about waking up in someone else’s room

    There’s something about my head that feels heavy too

    There’s something about me looking out the window as the cars go

    I woke up beside him

    Realized it wasn’t you

    Sat up and took a breath

    I never felt so cruel

    And something about the curtains I’ll capture in my mind

    Forever and forever until the end of time

    There’s something about waking up in someone else’s room

    There’s something about the sheets that feel heavy too

    There’s something about me looking at his smile and not yours

    I never imagined

    My feet on his floor

    Stand up and take it in

    I’ve never felt this way before

    And the tiles on my feet I will capture in my mind

    As the moment I admit defeat for you and I

    Oh, there’s something about waking up in someone else’s room

    There’s something about my feet that feel heavy too

    There’s something about me brushing my hair in someone else’s mirror

    And maybe if I pretend it’s all right

    It won’t hurt when I lie to you the next time

    But there’s something about waking up in his room

    I know I’ll miss every time I look at you

    There’s just something about him

    Something about him brushing my hair with his fingers its true

    There’s just something about him

    Something about him

    Oh baby there’s just something about me,

    Oh there’s just something about me that seems to be leaving you
