You’ve met misfortune I see
Well we’re in the nick of time
You’ve come to us in desperation
You’ve given yourself up to her
Temple and soul and mind
My Sun there is no separation
Hmm The Tower is speaking through me to you
Telling you get yo shit together
Put back the pieces you stole from her heart
Ey you started out on your journey a Fool
But you cant act a fool forever
For a meager fee we will assist you
We have wisdom to impart
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Oh Oh Ohh Ohh Oh
Oh Oh Ohh
Oh Oh Ohh
Ey Yo
O la la lo le le le a la le o
Ohh Ohh
Bounty and blessings in your future
Sun if you choose to carry on
We see you have no limitations
And if you decide to take on The Magician
You’ll have the powers of The World
Your inheritance will be blessed
if you just stay patient
Ey The Hanged Man is screaming through me to you
Telling you go inside
Stop and surrender yourself
Let it go
You setting out on this journey a Fool
But you can’t play that card forever
No We are all here to guide you
Back to your soul

Sistas

Three Black queens in a Cadillac
Eyes are low and their edges flat
Out for the night no going back
Gonna glow up, pour up, show up
40s in hand and a guitar slide
Everybody blowin in my new ride
Pull up to the scene and we’re lookin fly
Gonna go up, go up, go up
‘Cause The Town is burning,
And the heavens orange
Too many thoughts are rushin ‘round my head
I mustn’t lay and weep in bed
“Call ya girl so y’all can shake it off”
Was my internal dialogue
Calling Meshelle yea
She said “you ready”
I said hell yea
I just wanna kick it with my sistas
I just wanna kick it with my sistas
I don’t really wanna kick it with ya
I just really wanna get with my sistas
For your cut rate dreams I ain't signing a thing
Don’t even breathe in my direction
(No approaching me)
‘Cause ain’t no country for cowards
I got my 10,000 hours
Sometimes you gotta walk alone
Tell me am I preaching uh
Sometimes I’m out here on my own
‘Cause nobody’s speaking
Really I ain’t trippin ‘bout a thing
I’m with my Sistas
When I’m with ya can’t nobody even step
Believe me when I see ya
We gon do it like we used to do
Just me and you
Ohh Ohh
(Chorus 2x)

Chardonnay

Mmm mm
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Oh
Don’t order the expensive Chardonnay
Even if it’s just your taste
Don’t borrow a glass as soon as you ask
The bottle is back in your face
Had a rip from the expensive bong yo
And now I ain't seen the light in so long
Seem like I just can’t get it right
Unless I’m singin' and blazin' alone
Stop fuckin with a woman’s soul
Knew you was trouble from the go, Oh
Wherever we go there goes your ego
You treat me so cold
Nothin that come will stay
Woah no nothin that come will stay,
O consider this a song for today oh
Nothin that come will stay
Don’t order the expensive Chardonnay (Don't do it)
Even if it’s just your taste (Don't do it)
Don’t borrow a glass as soon as you ask
(The bottle is back in your face)
Had a rip from the expensive bong (Blue harmony)
Oh now I ain't seen the light in so long (Who got a light?)
Feel like I just can’t get it right
Unless I’m singin' and blazin' alone
Stop fuckin with a woman’s soul
You knew you was trouble from the go, Oh
Wherever we go there goes your ego
You treat me so cold
Ey ey
Nothin that come will stay
(Nothin nothin, nothin nothin ey)
Woah naw nothin that come will stay, Oh
(Nothin nothin, nothin nothin ey)
Nothin that come will stay
(Nothin nothin, nothin nothin ey)

Magic master I want it rough
Hop on this carpet, and pick me up
And if you hesitate I’m done
And we will see who’ll be the lonely one
Promise my freedom or naught at all
Love a sista just right and I’ll come whenever you call baby
Oh I’ll be your genie
bust all over your lamp
Just love me the right way and baby
All of your wishes I’ll grant
Ohh
CHORUS:
Tie me up (I want ya to)
Throw me down (I wanna be)
On my knees (get ready to)
Fuck around (I want ya too)
Tie me up (i i I want ya to)
Throw me down (I wanna be)
On my knees (get ready to)
Fuck around
Magic master a great treasure awaits
You had me tied up for the past thousand days (and nights)
Ran out of stories to tell you from my head and so I
Started with out you
Why you chain me in this cave? Oh babe you
You better believe in me
Or all will disappear
‘Cause I been captive for 10,000 years
Tell me your desires and make em good
Mm and love me the right way
I really wish you would tame me
(Chorus x2)

Reeling in my bones
Feelings come down like they’re supposed to do
And when I’m alone
All I want is you
Sealed within my soul
Wheels are turning like they’re supposed to do
And when I am whole is only when I’m with you
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Fill me with your smoke
Sparks keep burnin like they’re supposed to do
Every time I toke
All I feel is you
Come we’ll float away
Share emotions like they told us not to do
Twistin in the night we sway
And all I am is you
You awaken all of the love in me
You awaken all of the love in me
Carry you to ecstasy
Mary you
(Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do)
Reeling in my bones
Feelings come down like they’re supposed to do
When I’m
When I’m alone
All I want is you

All I want is

Livin livin livin livin livin
In The Downside
A room for my weathered heart and me
The path only I could travel
So you see I must be committed to it
And I wish y’all wouldn’t call me goddess
And steal my sweet Sistas by the gun
And I wish y’all’d stop calling me queen
And start treating me like one
Cause I’m living on the downside
Keep playing with life and you gon see
I’m just living on the downside
Keep paying the price for being me
The rent is too high to fathom
So I find myself on the 6th floor
I used to believe in Love
But I don’t really think that way anymore
And I wish you wouldn’t call me baby
As if the world can’t see I’m not the one
(the one for you not the one for you)
And I wish you wouldn’t call me green
And every day you leave me so blue
I’m just living on the downside
Keep throwing my heart into you and me yea
I’m just living on the downside
Keep playing with Love and you gon see
I’m livin livin livin livin livin
On the downside
Keep paying the price for being me
I’m living living living living living living living livin
On the downside
Keep playing with life and you gon see
(WYA)

Mmm

I’m still stupid high from last night
With the flowers poking out of my brain
Just been standing here drinking in the shower for an hour
Think I may be going insane
You’re still the only one that I need
‘Til you’re right there looking at me
Cause oh I knew we wouldn’t make it
I just had to get you naked
I wanted to be over your knee
Come quickly while I’m conflicted
While I still want you
Cum quicker ‘fore I reconsider
But don’t cum before I do
I’m still stupid hot from last night
With the flowers pokin out of my brain
Just been standing here drinkin in the shower
For an hour
Think I’m maybe going insane
You’re still the only one that I need
‘Til you’re right here looking at me
Cause oh I knew he wouldn’t make it I just had to getcha naked
Wanted to be over your knee yea
Come quickly while I’m conflicted
While I still want you
Cum quicker ‘fore I reconsider
But don’t cum before I do

Caught in the reign of another man
All my days pass me by

All I need to feel free
Is a little laugh from you
Caught in a world full of suffering and pain
None alone could ever mend
So if you need me to love ya

Love
Love is like a shooting star
It’ll come out of nowhere and shine where you are
Love
Love will take you on a ride
Where your heart and your soul
Are on the outside
You can’t hide
No no no oh
You can’t hide
(Melisma) No
Love
Love is deeper than the ocean
It will float you to safety
When you’re open
Love
Will stand through the rain
It will comfort you in darkness
And wash away the pain
Oh love
Oh love
Love
Love can come in the silence
It can come when you don’t decide it
Love
Can creep up on you
And get into your heart
When you don’t want it to
Sometimes love can hurt
And sometimes we don’t get what
we deserve
But in time it will work
You just gotta trust and believe
Believe in love
Oh Oh
Believe in love
Yeah
Believe in love
Oh just believe
Believe cause it believes in you
It believes in you
You can trust it too

(Sideshow sounds)
I know you’re solo
And you’re alone you’re lonely
But don’t ever fear
Cause I’m right here in your corner
And I’ll be standing here
A million years
You’re still my one my only
And when the whole world is crumbling down
And when the day ends I want you to hold me
Cause baby I still see your
Baby I still see your
Baby I still see your crown
With me you can put it down
I can still see your ultraviolet crown
With me you can put it down
And you don’t gotta be nobody that you aint naw
Your energy it spoke before you came here
And you never have to feel like you ain’t loved
Someone is thinking of ya (yea)
We’re warriors intelligent and strong
And although we won’t be here long
I’m still gonna be by your side
You’re the reason I sing this song
Oh Oh
Baby I still see your crown
With me you can put it down (don’t you ever wonder who you are)
I can still see your ultraviolet crown
With me you can put it down (you should never wonder who you are)
Baby I still see your crown
With me you can put it down
I can still see your ultraviolet crown (ultraviolet crown oh)
With me you can put it down

To my grandmother
You mind me of the winter’s eve
When lo the sinking sun
Casts soft bright rays upon the snow
And day now almost done
In silence deep prepares to leave
And calmly waits the signal “go”
Your eyes are faded vestal lights
That once the hearth illum’d
Where vestal virgin’s vigil kept
And budding virtue bloomed
Like stars that beam on summer nights
Your eyes by joy and sorrow swept
Asleep one night an angel kissed your hair and in the morn
The raven threads were silv’ry grey
The angel fair had borne
Your youth away ere it you missed
And left old age to bless your way
Smile on for when you smile it seems
I cannot do a wrong
Your smiles go with me all the while
And make life one sweet song
And oft at night my troubled dream
Grows gay at thoughts of your bright smile
Dark Africa with caucasian blood
To tinge your veins combined
Your proud head bowed to slavery’s thrall
Your hands to toil consigned
The lord of hosts becalmed the flood
The God Omnipotent o’er all
Your ears have heard the din of war
The marshal tramp of feet
Your voice has risen to your god in supplications sweet
May angels kiss each furrowed scar
Upon your brow where care has trod
God bless the hands all withered now
By age and weary care
God rest the feet that sought the way to freedom
Bright and fair
God bless thy life and e’er endow thee with new strength
Each new-born day

O Mother
Why do they treat me like I'm not a man?
I wonder (I wonder)
Does anybody know just who I am?
Or can I love the world exactly how it is?
Or do I have to split?
Is there anybody rooting for the kid?
O Mother (O Mother Ahh)
Is this not the way you taught me to behave?
I won't just sit here (I won't just sit here Ahh)
And let them treat me like a slave (no I won’t)
Oh can I love the world and hate how it makes me feel?
Cause I don't want to kneel
Is there anyone who's got my back for real?
(Guitar Solo)
O Mother (O Mother o mother o mother)
I do not think I live here anymore
I wonder (O Mother O Mother)
Is it wrong I do not want to live at all
Can I love the world enough to give a spin?
Or am I giving in?
Do we burn the old one down and start again?
Oh start again
Yea start again
Oh start again
Oh Mama
