I was born from the Leadbelly of Tina Turner
Which was impregnated by the rhythm of Michael Jackson, my father
Prince was my nanny
Beyonce my final girlfriend
That’s why she made Blue
Frank Ocean asked me to marry him
But I wanted to swirl with Chris Martin, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Tedder instead
From my first breath
I invented Soul music
It was so pure that Sia wanted to Breathe Me
And Aretha riffed off of it for years
I built the first chromatic scale
From a tete a tete with Ella Fitzgerald
It made the world so dizzy
That Dizzy Gillespie changed his name
And Timbaland is still documenting it
I’m so fruity that at 5 I told Little Richard to “Shut Up!”
It made my Godfather James Brown scream with pride
Minnie Ripperton whistled in delight
Janet, Madonna & Gaga decided to fight
I’m so sexy that Josephine Baker moved to France because she was that jealous
And she left it in hell
The Great White Way as well
Cause she was that hot
Yes
Paris is still burning from our strife
Liza Minnelli was jealous too
She told me “bye bye blackbird”
The Beatles saw that I was singing in sadness and wanted to keep the peace so they sang me into the sun
But my Throne is ON AN island called Earth
Wind and Fire
Wanted to keep me lit up
So they made me a star
Nah
I’m only ego trippin
My dark twisted fantasy
Happened when you heard this
I’m stating facts
(Laughs)
And you too can be Counter-culturally Black
The secret is that
it is the color of everyone’s notes
And y’alls blackness knocked me dead
To this day,
Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles the only ones that can see me

Race probabilities

When you can’t call on the authority
Mamma taught me never to use the word hate
Bible taught me that seasons change mate
Never thought the world would be in such a state
Cops can’t abate how i feel
They can’t erase these thoughts are real

This counterculturally blackness is real
White cops taking another life
They kill
They steal the attention from the love this Black Lives Matter Movements makes me feel

Maybe that’s true
But this ain’t anger
it’s an attitude to you

Let's come together
We need some unity and peace among one another
Here's what you do (drive)
Just to let you feel (to)
Release your fears and bring your mind to my point of view
[Chorus:]

[Verse 2]
Love and peace on Earth
We've gotta make it work
If we come together, I’ll promise it'll be worth
The ride, new heights we'll climb
Our time is too short
We've gotta live our lives
Let's get to Rainbow Drive
You don’t need no money it’s a natural high
Let's get to Rainbow Drive
Forget about your worries it’s gonna be alright
We've got to live together
(We gotta live together, we gotta come together)
When we do one unto the others we pay
(We gotta live together, we gotta come together)
Might change your life when you understand
That you're only a shade away
And to Rainbow Drive
[Chorus:]
Let's get to Rainbow Drive
Everybody come together and just feel the vibe

And Still I Smize
01:10
|
|||
You beat me down in history
With your icons, expensive buys
You may paint me on the very concrete
And still with class, I’ll smize
Just like Mother Earth that is hidden within the beauty of my hide
With the essence of my sisters whom
Fell before me
And also with their power behind me
And still I smize
Will your “Art Pop” appease you?
Will it keep you musing with “Glee”
Cause you act like you have little interest
In my ingenuity
And still I smize
You may read me with your guns
You may shade me with your guise
You may erase me with your blinking
Temperament
But even in ghost
I’ll smize
Will my transparency give you refuse?
Will it give you your surmise?
Cause it’s never been a mystery
How much you’ve surreptitiously terrorized
And still I smize.
Just like the Queens before
I smize
Just like the Queens that “Pose” and breathe
I smize
Just like the Queens that always set the trend
I smize
I smize
I smize
I smize.

Swagga Parfait (Parfait)
03:40

J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
Swagga in my walk
Swagga in my talk
People hatin’ so much
‘fraid they’ll line me up in chalk
Swagga when I move
Swagga when I groove
Never been afraid to let my hips
sway too
And oh
Let them say what they say
Never worry ‘bout the shade
Cause I’m giving you rays
And oh
Even if they start to draw you
Know you got a home on high
Just beyond the sky
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
Jaunty when I breathe
Jaunty when I please
Won’t let anyone
take my jaunty from me
Jaunty in my essence
Jaunty no second guessing
Living in my truth
The energies living proof
And oh
Let them say what they say
Never worry ‘bout the shade
Cause I’m giving you rays
And oh
Even if they start to draw you
Know you got a home on high
Just beyond the sky
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
When they clock clock clockin’
And you don’t know what to do
Sing this song strong
They won’t know what to do
When the spook spook spooking’
And you don’t know where to go
Let your swag give you power
Be jaunty and aglow
When they clock clock clockin’
And you don’t know what to do
Sing this song strong
They won’t know what to do
When the spook spook spooking’
And you don’t know where to go
Let your swag give you power
Be jaunty and aglow
Singing
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes
J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
Minet!
(Dance break)
Let them eat corn
Hua!

Exhaled all the bitterness of my broken dreams in the broken air
Time moved on as I watched my breath escape from me in a cold blank stare
Sorry’s such a fatal word
Punishment in this life absurd
Flowing aimlessly in the world
A rebel with a cause and the cause is love
So I’m holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my
Heart beats fast enraged with passion
History never dies
Never dies
Oh well
Can’t erase the broken glass
Sweep up the pieces and mop up the tears
Dazzle in the distance twinkles in the night
Dawn in the Breaking look into the light
Dawn in the Breaking look into the light
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my heart
Oh
When I little I dreamed of a world free from repression for everyone
When I grew up I saw world was different and what is different is hated on
So I’ll hold on to my heart in hopes that one day we will all feel free
To be all of harmony and live out our wildest dreams
So I’m holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my heart
To my heart

I Loveding You
01:49
|
|||
Those Florida waves
Cooling off your gaze
I loveding your face
And all the negative space
Youre too much
And we’re in a time crunch
The sun shading the stars
You bought me a donut bar
I lost my car
You flew really far
I loveding you
For 6 years it was true
The sky is not so blue
Cause I felt you too
You sniff a little bit
I did it a couple of weeks ago legit
You’re so stingy though
To deny me the explosion
Whoa
Were you reading my mind?
I thought about someone else
My older self
I loveding you
The memory won’t go away
I pray for the day
That you will love me more so I can take paradise from you too
If I could be that brave
And I concede
I’m depraved
I thought I was a clean bandit for swooping in for your broken heart
Chicago produced a Bowie museum
And tears on my Iman skin
Lovers separated by a phone unanswered
You’re nine
But I still think ten
I loveding you
Earth, Wind, and Fire in this Miami scene
If a church bus passed by
The congregation might think us obscene
I saw a star fall after and before I let myself blow
You made me feel like I was a cheap hoe
I loveding you
Je te pense
you too.
Virgo & Pisces forever
I loveding you

Alone
02:59
|

Ah
Swirling like a cyclone
I’m boundless and free
Swirling, spinning and turning
No one is with me
Alone Alone
I’m riding alone
Alone alone
I’m swirling alone
Alone at the cemented waves
Just driving
I gaze at the pastel haze
Just striving
To get to a place where I be
Just diving in the heat of ecstasy
I wanna love with no fear
And be necessary and clear
I wanna smile from ear to ear
And be necessary and clear
Just diving in the heat of ecstasy
Swirling like a cyclone
I’m boundless and free
Swirling, spinning and turning
No one is with me
Alone alone
I’m riding alone
Alone alone
I’m swirling alone
Alone at a dive bar
Just yearning
To hear a word from the star
Just burning
My heart with how deep and how far
He sangs
Returning the heat of his twang
I wanna love with no fear
Be necessary and clear
I wanna smile from ear to ear
And be necessary and clear
Just diving in the heat of ecstasy
Swirling like a cyclone
I’m boundless and free
Swirling, spinning, and turning
Someone is with me

This is not a dream
Sitting in Barnes and Noble reading Vogue Magazine/
You sitting on the wood looking real fly/
I wanna approach you so I cough to catch your eye/
To your demise, I unleash a deadly smize/
We have protected eye sex
Cause I’m wearing my contacts/
You wearing your glasses: You’re a 4 eyes/
We wear the mask baby
Don’t hide behind your guise/
We wear the mask
From here to Timbuktu/
I wanna make a more direct move/
I’m picturing us in Harlem
We’ll ride the subway blue/
You make me wanna groove
And take it to the stage too/
And at the Apollo
You won’t ever wanna “Boo”/
Cause I got that smooth criminal
Gonna steal your heart from you/
You can take me to city hall
I’ll sign on the dotted line/
This is love at first sight
Please baby
Don’t take your time/
So gimme your love
Show me that you got that swag
I’m picturing wedding bells
Just married painted on the Jag
You got to have swag
Out the woozoo/
I’m untamed baby
Won’t find me in the zoo/
You might be able to tame this
But it’s nobody business boo/
So gimme your love
Maybe we’ll jump the broom/
It’s no secret: I’m into you/
I’ve been staring at you across the room
Seasons may change but C-mo’s always in bloom
Please Mr. Mochadoo
Gimme yo luvvv

Fore the crowd goes wild
I live for the applause
Making you my one and only
Never want it to fall

The answer,my friend, is
Me blowing in the wind
The Atlantic and the sand
ever been crazy Over a man?
He treated me like I was needy
And why’d I call him greedy
Hating the song “One Night Only”
Not fair that now I’m lonely
I wanted to live forever
Not worried about the fame
Monster for lying
This Trans woman can burn you with her vicious head game
I’m still trying
Been working on my tac-
tics
In case you were the one
Backless dress got you zoning
One more motion and we moaning
Call me later that’s called phoning
We’re high in the sky ; droning
Keep you

hanging
sanging
You’re perfect

(Whistling)
Whistling cause it just got silent
Where should we go from here?
Sitting on a maple park bench
Staring at the winking moon
It’s insinuating that it’s time for us to harmonize
I ain’t even gonna front
I ain’t even gonna lie
It’s glow makes your skin look gold
Boy you look so fine
Stars dancing to our impromptu show
Stars playing hide and seek
You’re my golden Boy
Though I play it coy
You’re my Golden Boy
(Whistling)
I linger to the accidental caress of those dangerous fists
Nobody badder than you in the ring
Somebody waiting to see
What else those hands can do
That somebody maybe me
I want to be the one that warms you up when you’re cold
Let’s grow old together but it seems like the time is now
To go in for the kill
Sweet surrender you felt it too
You’re my Golden Boy
Though I play it coy
You’re my Golden Boy

Love is abundant
Love is opulent
Don't douce the flame
Don't douce the flame
Love is fragility
Love is felicity
Don't douce the flame
Don't douce the flame
You always do that thing I like
PDA in plain sight
Don't ever take away your gifts
Excite me through the night
Don't douce the flame
Don't douce the flame
Love is external
Love comes from within
Don't douce the flame
Don't douce the flame
Hidden treasures given
From deep within
Don't douce the flame
Don't douce the flame
You always do that thing I like
PDA in plain sight
Don't douce the flame

What if I were smarter?
Would I find my place in this maze called life?
What if my skin were lighter?
Would I be less awkward and be less of a fighter?
Could I be anymore of an optimist?
Could I see anymore of my future?
History in the making
And it feels so bright
Got my shades on for the sake
And it feels alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
Alright
What if I were safer?
Would I be secure in my walk and talk?
What if I were shameless?
Would I be real cool
and be super famous?
Could I be anymore of an optimist?
Could I see anymore of my future?
History in the making
And it feels so bright
Got my shades on for the sake
And it feels alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
Alright
It's alright if you wanna express yourself
limitless like the galaxies we're all shooting stars
it's alright if you wanna express yourself
Be who you wanna be
Could I be anymore of an optimist?
Could I see anymore of my future?
History in the making
And it feels so bright
Got my shades on for the sake
And I sense it's alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's Alright
Alright
