Sun Indigo 03:40
Sun Indigo Struggles, but we comin back He felt the changes in the belly of his city Burnt down buildings rebuilding on solid vision Working day and night tryina to silence his ear critic Tryina find some light that’ll stay when his gears shifted To paint the sun Indigo Put wisdom on top of optimism it’s not a given it’s the higher road Transmute the pain in the painting to make it solid gold The holy grail on this trail I needed to find was hope And never did I think I wouldn’t turn to ash and fade away For months because I needed space And never did I think I’d have to heal from cuts and scrapes Given to me by some people that I trusted but were fake But that’s on me to some extent And I repent for idol worship in these verses No one’s perfect so it’s settled then I’ll be moving forward from the circus tent to worthy friends Who love me like I love them and will struggle with me to the end If we try we can shine we can make it if we Put love over all of our hurt The only thing I can promise that works and it works and it works If we try we can shine we can make it if we Have faith while we’re walking this road It’s not a race don’t be afraid to ride slow Dear father I wish you were here with me Instead of dearly departed to show me the way to harvest Cause lately I felt a target on me hit then was discarded The scars on my mental fresh but I know I am more than flesh And I’m bigger than what they said I’ve been digging within a nest of these hornets that want to sting Because they’re lonely and depressed Feeling tired of our government How their voice is repressed When we’re fighting for real change So they give us their two cents And lately I think they’re fake and don’t listen to what they say Politicians are bought with money I’m feeding whoever’s hungry I’m seeing a truth that’s ugly Stay filling my own cup no longer free to take it from me No you can’t take it from me I am my rock now out on my own I won’t be knocked down I will be known I am sunwise I am indigo If we try we can shine we can make it if we Put love over all of our hurt The only thing I can promise that works and it works and it works If we try we can shine we can make it if we Have faith while we’re walking this road It’s not a race don’t be afraid to ride slow To all the people that supported me I love you To all the family in my corner bet I love you To those opposing what I bring I still love you Cause hate don’t drive hate out like love do To all the people that supported me I love you To all the family in my corner bet I love you To those opposing what I bring I still love you Cause hate don’t drive hate out like love do Gold and ultraviolet rays bring comfort to me in spite of pain that lingers But I will not give in And lonely evenings won’t hold me back No treason won’t hold me back I see it I see my path If we try we can shine we can make it if we Put love over all of our hurt The only thing I can promise that works and it works and it works If we try we can shine we can make it if we Have faith while we’re walking this road It’s not a race don’t be afraid to ride slow

Where We At Now Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right here Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right When I was aiming up with arrowhead to pierce the sun I lost some vision just for staring at a light I couldn’t comprehend Might have had a dirty lens Might have had some clouded eyes Might have held some rain inside Fighting something you can never touch can make you angry I can sympathize We should write a symphony And add a little simple rhyme It’s nothing but some time Now tap to the rhythm get back to a space in your mind Can you listen to voices and choices you make Make noise rejoice I am warm I am safe I got through a storm and a swarm of a hate I choose to ignore at my core I am great nah nah nah That beat starts buzzing the words keep coming If you’re bout it I’m about it If you love it I love it The beat starts buzzing the words keep coming If you’re bout it won’t doubt it What I really wanna ask Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right here Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right here I’m in them moment I’m present stay showing up For me instead of waiting for some strangers I don’t know enough To dictate the way that I lay down my track Tell em imma just be me no matter what believe that I wish someone told me I could be a metamorphosizing freeform of art Making light from the dark And I wish I could know a humble village of support Could mean a tree grows regardless of the value of it’s bark So I’m creating for me you and anyone whose vibing With anything we do now let the beat ride and Take you to renew the way you feel inside Sit back what I really wanna ask my friend Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right here Where we at now Can you tell me where we at now Tell me where we at now Tell me where we at where we at right here right here Wake your mind right up Don’t hate spread love til your time is up Make friends make noise make rhymes to bump Only got one life one light keep shining Wake your mind right up Don’t hate spread love til your time is up Make friends make noise make rhymes to bump Only got one life one light keep shining Keep shining Keep shining And we vibing we vibing we vibing

Beautiful Day Hey hey hey It’s your boy psj On another beautiful day I’ve got so much that I’m grateful for Nothing can get in my way And I look outside and even when there’s a storm I say Oh what a beautiful day I woke up lazy wasting my days So many times before until my back was sore Complaining bout the lady that had given me the slip Or feeling like an island stranded here without a ship Skipping my breakfast think I need my head fixed Think I need to open up and see a new perspective Call a friend and see what’s going on with the collective Meditate then educate a brain more receptive to Light love patience cant skip the basics Eat more clean more green for your brain kid Staying up late with your pain make a painting See a gray cloud go dance in the rain then Make a rainbow see the rays glow bright Wear a halo you gon feel alright And you can say no if it isn’t your vibe But tell em this song here is mine I’ve got so much that I’m grateful for Nothing can get in my way And I look outside and even when there’s a storm I say Oh what a beautiful day The dream killers say be realistic Til their dreams dead and they’re sad bout existence Heard from mom and dad bout their past well lets fix it Show em going for the moon will heal the feedback within us No one needs to be the next cult or new religion Some just wanna be more vocal with their own opinions And talk about their struggles working hourly for pennies Thinking do I really make a difference And some will say well If I don’t do it then there’s no movement And it’s easy as adults saying we just late blooming Where’s the seeds in your garden You just harvest more excuses I’ve been there look in that mirror say prove it Maybe that’s harsh or maybe that’s truth But tough loves needed now see with my view Someone told me so I thought I’d tell you To reach for the stars cause you got it Your peace is so important And practicing self-love every day isn’t always easy But it must be done And I’m here to remind you to take care of yourself To fill your own cup So you can feel comfortable being the you that shines for all to see Endlessly Just reach for the stars now Just reach for the stars now Just reach for the stars cause you got it yeah Reach for the stars now Just reach for the stars now Just reach for the stars cause you got it yeah I got so much that I’m grateful for Nothing can get in my way And I look outside and even when there’s a storm I say Oh what a beautiful day

New Pavement // You Say I’ve been right here before And nothing’s changed except my wonder wonder Left my hearts fear exposed And they took my head and pulled me under Underneath my serious cracked exterior oh I know I’ve gotta pull myself back up oooh In my experience no one’s hearing it If I’m inside my room with words locked up I I’m stepping on new pavement Tryina turn my pages Burn up my complaining Even when the rain hit I’m stepping on new pavement Tryina turn my pages Burn up my complaining Even when the rain hit I’m back to where I was where I was Back to closed mouth open eyes and broken lungs broken lungs I went through hell and needed help but few were showing up So what’s up I need to take apart the structure Clear out all the snakes in the rain with my thunder Though my pain isn’t numbing Novocaine couldn’t cover up mistakes and the blunders I’m ashmed that my love was so displaced From the ones who made space for me It wasn’t their fault I let the others take from me I need to make some amends To get this chapter filled with action after breaking some bread I love my family friends acquaintances awaiting what’s next On my journey know I’ve learned to put some faith in these steps I’m stepping on new pavement Tryina turn my pages Burn up my complaining Even when the rain hit I’m stepping on new pavement Tryina turn my pages Burn up my complaining Even when the rain hit Ooooo I’m stepping I’m step I’m step I’m stepping You Say Oooooh ooooooh oooooooh Dreams Sunlit eyes still filled with hope Moonlit sky smell of bonfire smoke I’m not tired of this place I know Tell me that I’m lying I don’t care what you say I’ve held dreams too big to hold Let the doubt of some people control Get me out it ain’t feeding my soul This is my zone and I don’t care what you say Oooooh Ooooooh Will he ever learn I don’t care what you say You should know your worth I don’t care what you say This is planet earth So show em what you’re worth Your flow within will pull you in So only care what you say
