THE FOOL 02:13
(VERSE ONE) I defy every blow thrown my way. In my life they've tried to hold me to the flame, but there's a light inside of me guiding me higher to divinity. (CHORUS) Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far far away from here X4. (VERSE TWO) Out of sight there are dreams to be made. In mid flight, won't fear the night. I've got my faith. That quiet voice inside calling me louder to conquer my enemy. (CHORUS) REPEAT
2.
LOVE 04:40
(VERSE ONE) Late at night I wonder why you won't make time for me. When I felt you by my side I thought we were destiny. Reveling in foolish things, I fall in love too easily. If you knew my past, you'd see a cloud cast a shadow over me. (PRE-CHORUS) I am not the man you used to know. That boy died oh' so long ago. To hide your heart is no way to live. I look at you and I'm ready to give... (CHORUS) My love, body, & soul (VERSE TWO) My life a wreck you're making. You know I'm yours for the taking. Furtive tears say we'll be united, but you left my love unrequited. I may be young but my soul is old. This is not my first rodeo. Can we go again my intimate friend? Maybe we'll make it to the end. (PRE-CHORUS) REPEAT (BRIDGE) I was high as a bird when we met, flying by, not a care, no regret. I was tired of instability, blinded by vulnerability. (CHORUS) REPEAT
3.
BE READY 04:37
(INTRO) I thought I knew not to pursue a man confused but he heals my blues. What to do? (VERSE ONE) This one is a doozy. We played the floozy. Like a brother we share comfort with each other. Innocent as can be, an angel just like me. (Angel just like me) Joke aside he's got a lot of bravado. Holds me tight all night. I feel like a model. We rough house under the sheets. Feels so good we repeat. (Feels so good we repeat) (CHORUS) Life can try to tumble you down. Keep your head up high, your feet off the ground, And be ready (for the real thang) X2 (VERSE TWO) When I'm alone can't stop thinkin' bout em'. Triple OG like Al Capone, the top to my bottom. A full time gangster you see. He'd take a bullet for me. He's so good to me. (He's so good to me) (CHORUS) REPEAT (VERSE THREE) When I'm with my man there's nothin' I want. We can lay and dream under the stars til' the sun comes up. He knows we're ride or die. Need a leader? He's your guy. He's super duper fly. If you need a soldier he'll get it poppin'. "Show and prove" that's his motto my baby ain't never stoppin'. He's all the proof I need. He's the king I'm his queen. Together we're royalty. (CHORUS) REPEAT Boy be ready X2.
4.
AWAY 03:41
(VERSE ONE) Three years late, what a fate. Though I held on too long I took the bait. You never learned my worth, so we adjourned. That Jagged pill left me frozen still. (CHORUS) My sky turned gray. We said goodbye and faded away. X2
5.
BITCHCRAFT 03:43
(VERSE ONE) Here we go same shit, different day. You're used to havin' your way. Tantrum on display. Glide in the room, evil eye my way. You think you've got me all figured out. Baby I was 19 when I came out. Try to control me, actin' like a wife. Tell me what you know about my life. (CHORUS) Lovely witchcraft, more like Bitchcraft X2 (VERSE TWO) Dark child you like to play tricky. Fight like a lover but don't leave a hickey. So low, you're frightened alone, unprepared to reap what you sow. Time to take a good peek inside. Love yourself or prepare to die. Two comets ready to collide. I'm the Angel of Death. You're lucky you're still alive. Got a prollem with me, but won't tell me the truth. Curse my name when I'm gone, does that feel good to you? All that evil inside will make you ugly, boo. Need I remind you, people pay when they fuck with my Voodoo! (CHORUS) REPEAT (BRIDGE) I pray God grants you peace of mind. I'm in deep while you lie. All alone and wonder why. You're a savage. Your wicked words cut like a knife. Gon' on for too long. Don't wanna duel, I'm through with you. Don't wanna fight! (CHORUS) REPEAT
6.
KISSED ME 04:36
(VERSE ONE) You were waiting in the cold. I was late as usual. Had to go down lovers lane. I knew I'd never be the same, (CHORUS) And then you Kissed me. X3 (VERSE TWO) We wandered to a small cafe. We talked for hours and a day. You said you knew me from before, fallen straight from heavens door, and then you treat me like I'm the prince of Egypt. Every time you say my name I die. What we've got ain't no secret. We ran away on our own high. (CHORUS) REPEAT (VERSE THREE) Found our way back to my place. We lied face to face while ocean blue eyes gazed at me. You leaned in so subtly and said, "I love you more than anyone I've known. I wanna make you bae. because of you I'm not alone." I pray we never change. (CHORUS) REPEAT
7.
ANGEL WINGS 04:10
(VERSE ONE) I blew through the room like a cloud of smoke, holding painted pictures from a friend I no longer know. Tryna forget each image, one color at a time, then I got swept up in you when you caught my eye. Seraphim began to sing. my jaded heart didn't know what was happening. I felt a shift after we met when you said my name. Something inside came alive, hoped we'd meet again. (CHORUS) Angel wings, (Be tender to me) Angel wings (Lover of my dreams) Angel wings (love the color of my world with you, now I'm no longer blue.) (VERSE TWO) New moon, full and bright, fills the sky. The wind took our copper fire for a ride. We drew close, body like a boulder. No billow of wind could blow them over. Caressed my lips with his, elated all night. So glad we never waited to share love in a new light. We laid in bed, the smell of smoke on our clothes, my head on your heart, your voice soothing to my soul. (CHORUS) REPEAT (BRIDGE) I who have died am alive again today. (I who have died am alive again today.) X4 (CHORUS) REPEAT
8.
B.O.A.F. 04:03
Break me down when it's good for you. Can't continue with your abuse. Don't like the games you play, given me the gris gris. Only call when you need me. I'm a scratch card, you wanna win the lotto. Though my back scarred, you want me to follow. You taught me I could do better. Baybeh we're no longer... (CHORUS) Birds of a feather (We're no longer) X4 (VERSE TWO) Thought you'd break my losing streak. Took a while to see your love was weak. Too late to pretend. I'm cutting you loose, paying dividends. Moving on to a better place, while you look tired with them lines in your face (Face) You taught me I could do better. Baybeh we're no longer... (CHORUS) REPEAT (THIRD VERSE) You make love complicated with your mean girl ego inflated. Thought after all these years you'd mature. Thought I'd be seeing you in my future. I remember when you got me off track. I see you now. I ain't lookin back. You taught me I could do better. Baybeh we're no longer... (CHORUS) REPEAT
9.
ADDI'S WORLD 04:58
(VERSE ONE) Sweepin' the floor at the millionth job I hated, all alone I'd contemplate. Deep in my world I was lost in lamentation. "How did I get here? Why me? Am I too late?" Then you came along, wild eyed with a song, blinding like a ray of dawn. When you opened the door, life was only work before, you made me feel my dreams could carry on. (PRE-CHORUS) No more (Dead end thinkin') No more (Sinkin' we swim) Only (Love for my friend, 'til the world ends) (CHORUS) Til the world ends. ('Til the world ends) X4 (VERSE TWO) Cool, refined, in all black, on the outside of society, but that don't bother the man of mystery. He's one of a kind, scour the earth, he's hard to find. He'll win you with a melody, born to make history. When my world had fallen into pandemonium, I didn't need nobody but Addison. He's so familiar to me, like a warm southern breeze, and he gave my life new meaning. (PRE-CHORUS) REPEAT (CHORUS) REPEAT (OUTRO) I might need you again, so stick around. (Stick around) X4 'Til the world ends, 'Til the world ends. X4
10.
(VERSE ONE) I'll heal in time, let the hurt go from my mind. Mind. Imagine my future, every moment sublime. (PRE-CHORUS) You thought you may know me, but I know who I am. I am. I am...Michael Angelo. (CHORUS) MICHAEL ANGELO X4 (VERSE TWO) I do all I can. I keep my word baby. I won't assume with you, or take you personally. (PRE-CHORUS) REPEAT (CHORUS) REPEAT (VERSE THREE) Wherever I glide, love and light follow me. With God by my side, you could say I'm heavenly. (PRE-CHORUS) REPEAT (CHORUS) REPEAT
