Too WEAK’S NOTICE
I feel like, I’m living a life of compromise
Not like sacrifice, but more so for other’s peace of mind
No anticipating, pray up and go
No more idle waiting, come on and go
No more looking through the window
So I’m sayin
Chorus
Now I know that I need to get somewhere, somewhere
Cuz I feel like I am in nowhere
And I need to let you know this
That I am, giving you my 2 weak’s notice
Now I feel like
It’s gotta be now or never this time
And I’ve got to find
That pre-tainted childhood fearlessness of mine
No anticipating, pray up and go
No more idle waiting, come on and go
No more looking through the window
So I’m saying
Chorus
COLD HEARTED
I saw it, comin from a mle away,
And I should have caught it, Ooh yea ( ooh yea)
But the fear of you walking away (away)
Held me back from what I needed to say
But you told me, that I could count on you
But instead you showed me
That I should expect the opposite from you
And now I have to say my respect for you has slowly departed
But I must thank you for making me coldhearted
Chorus
Waited so patiently for you
But you’re coldhearted, hearted
Gave you chance after chance but you have departed
Coldhearted
You talk it
A good game, but it’s such a shame you couldn’t walk it
Said you believed in me whole hearted that day
But I saw your face when you thought I turned away
And you broke it
My heart in your hands
But I came back and stole it
And I will never let you do that again
So now I have to say my respect for you has slowly departed
And I must thank you for making me coldhearted
Chorus
Bridge
Can’t you see, what you did to me
Broken hearted turned coldhearted
Gave you nothing but the best of me
See what you started
So coldhearted
Dangerous
Verse1
Momma never told me that some days would be like this
When I do my part and give all my heart for a dream most will dismiss
Spend all my money give all my time, but still I insist
To pursue this purpose that for me exists
Chorus
This love is so dangerous, so dangerous babe
This love is so dangerous
I said this love is so dangerous, so damn dangerous baby
I’ll fight till this is not a dream
Verse2
Round and round and round I go, folks act like I don’t know
How they tried to hold me back when God is in control
Some things I didn’t give up, but I had to let them go
Though some came back to me just to let me know….
Chorus
Verse3
(listen close)
Oughtta Say
Keep that lighter, away from the fire
It’s time to retire, the one that they knew so well
Who was afraid to say the opposite of “I wish you well”
Afraid of what they would think, But now she’s like “Oh well”
And to know that all the while, folks were talkin wild
Putting her down, but she gave them all a smile
Chorus X2
So many things, that we
We oughtta, we oughtta say, we oughtta say
But don’t worry
Verse 2
Folks conspire to put themselves higher
Want to be admired for what others do so well
Act like they got it all together, but they always ask for help
But then they turn around and act like they did it all themselves
And it’s a battle within itself
To play the game to make some gain, when greed is to blame
Chorus
Bridge
I’m having dreams that I’m feeding snakes
I tell my friends and they’re like “how much more you gonna take
See opportunities yeah you got to make
And some pills you gonna have to swallow and just take
Though pride goeth before fall, some things just not worth it at all
Now revenge, let the Lord handle that
Time to do you, tell the other stuff to fall back”
Axion
Verse1
How to mend a broken heart, well tell me where does that start
Cause I thought I was doing my part till you tell me
That I'm chasing that green, but that's just the only way it seems
I don't know what's happening,
Cut the camera no action
PRE-CHORUS
Cuz I'm goin up and down with it
Tryin to figure out how to get a crowd to rock with it
You act belligerent but i tell you stop it
Cut the camera no action
Chorus x2
Here we go, though i LOVE YOU SO
And you just don't know, cut the camera no action
Verse2
Well jealousy has made its mark, and tell me when did this start
Cuz I thought I was doing my part till you tell me
That I'm living so selfishly, but you're the one who told me to do me
I don't what's happening, cut the camera no action
pRE-cHORUS
CHORUS x2
BRIDGE
Like the beauty of a dream, when you're fast asleep
And those who have passed on, they greet you
Well our love is parallel, though others cannot tell
It's not for them to know, but I need you______
And the story goes, like this.......
*stay tuned to the journey, and I'll tell you what i say after that.....
Still Have Your Heart
Intro
I still have your heart, though you have departed
I was your fresh start, though you have restarted
I was your start, even though you’ve spotted another
I still heart………..
Verse1
Remember when you first opened up your heart
You told me, “I got something to tell you,
Whenever you’re ready for this love to start,
Well I just wanna love you forever”
But maybe that was just the weather that had you talking crazy
Cuz now I think that maybe two years was too much waiting
So you chose her, but I still have your heart….
Chorus
I know that you love me, I know you love me still
Move on if you want to, what we had she can’t fill
You me told me you love her, but that you love me still
Go write your new chapter, but love me you always will
Verse2
I really wanna know how does it feel
To compromise what was real
For someone that you chose for a space to fill
Cuz I came across that old letter
That you wrote when we weren’t together
And you were simply saying my love was worth the waiting
And there was no debating
But you chose her, but I still have your heart….
Chorus
Rain
Verse 1
Time Fly.
When you feel like your life is passing you by
to get out of bed it’s hard when you think ,no reason to find
Doctor gives me pills so I can have some peace of mind
Pre-Chorus
But I throw my hands up, when I’m fed up
Lord please let up, don’t wanna give up
Trying to keep from crying
I’m living but I’m dying to get to you
My destiny
Chorus
Rain everywhere I go
When’ll it stop, I don’t know
Oh, (echo) oh
Oh Mountain top
My next stop
Though this valley is low ( echo) low
Verse 2
On my mind
Want something different so I think about it all of the time
And those who could help, treated me like a waste of time
Lord I am calling
I need some sort of peace of mind
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Callin, Callin
Asked the Lord, “Why so much rain?”
And just when I thought It’d kill me
I had some strength to wipe the rain away, from my face
Brighter Days
Verse1
I’m watching wedding bells for everybody else but me
Will i do well for myself, we’ll have to wait and see
People try to make you feel like your oh so far from where you need to be
But I wanna know right now, who told you how my life’s supposed to be
Chorus
They say you’ll have brighter, brighter, brighter days
They say you’ll have brighter, brighter, brighter days
But today is, it’s bright enough for me
Verse2
I was painting m picture, and somebody took my brush from me
Said they could paint it better, but He didn’t show you, what He showed me
People wanna make you feel like you’re oh so far from where you need to be
But i wanna no right now who told you how my life’s supposed to be

Sunshine
Verse1
You took my hands, when I could no longer stand
When my heart was breaking, when I was tired of faking
You held my my head, when my pride went dead
At my lowest low, when my tears couldn’t help but flow
Chorus x2
You are
You are my
My, my
You are, my sunshine
Verse 2
You heard my call, when i said nothing at all
When my kindness was mistaken,
for weakness by those who’d forsaken
Me so many times
No more tears to cry
No more breath to sigh
When my wings couldn’t help me fly
Chorus
Bridge
It must be the God in you
That always sees me through
Didn’t always treat you right
Took you for granted sometimes
But I’m so glad you stood by my side
Outro
Repeat part of 1st verse….
PEACE OF ME
Verse 1
I’ve gotta find that emotion
The one that made me feel confident the other day
I’ve got to stronghold devotion
Can’t let it slip away
I saw what it was like to be free
So now I’m wondering when will it happen for me
Gotta fight to find it
Gotta make it the peace of me
Chorus
Peace of me (x5)
Verse 2
I’ve gotta find my voice
Not the one I’m using right now
But the one people chose to ignore
I thought that I didn’t matter
Not anymore
I saw what it was like to speak freely
So now I’m wondering
When will it happen for me
Gotta fight to find it
Gotta make it the peace of me
Chorus
Bridge
Peace of me (x4)
Blessed are the peace makers
Blessed are the peace makers
For they shall be called the son’s of God
Peace of me
Thank Me Later
Verse1
Hold onto your heart,
For the world will try to take a part of it, trust this, yeah
But to pass this test I will have to confess
That the road will be long and not easy
Even though it seems like this He will not leave thee.
Like my mother said…
Chorus
Thank me later
You’ll thank me later, You’ll thank me later
Thank me later
Verse2
I know why the caged bird sings
And when those closer hurt you it stings
Remember faith with good works will bring destiny back to you
But the first will be last, and the last will be first, don’t consider it reverse
And you cannot rehearse the dreams you’ve conversed
Man will doubt those with gifts, but life’s lessons will teach you..
Chorus

Taken Over
Verse1
Holding it together is hard when you’re losing it
And the pain you cannot hide
Even when your heart’s so numb that you can’t cry
Heartache been replaced by all the love you gave
Added blessings to my life told me that it would be alright
Chorus x2
I found it, and I don’t know what I would do without it no
Your love’s taken over, your love’s taken over
Verse2
Happiness is what I’ve felt since the day we met
Though the rain must fall sometimes, I know that you’ll be my joy in the morning light
But hold me, when I’m feeling more than lonely
When the world has turned it’s back once again
And i’ve given to them everything i can
Chorusx2

I couldn’t ask for more
Verse 1
I write you this letter
I’m sending it with all of my heart
For you to have ( Oh___)
Nobody’s made me feel like you do
I’m telling you it is so real
Heaven must cry everyday since God sent you my way
Chorus
Verse2
Everyday not filled with sunshine
But I’ll take the good with the bad
As long as I know that you I’ll have (woah__)
Holla if you hear me
God sent an angel to me
And what kind of friendship doesn’t weather a storm
No matter what I’ll do you no harm
Chorus
Bridge
Through thick and thin
You’ve always been there for me
And even when I doubted you I realized that’s what real friends sometimes go through (Woah__)
May not answer every call
But after the rain your sunshine does fall
And know that we’ll always find a way
Come what may
When This Life Is Over
Verse1
Now people say that love ain’t easy,
But it’s easy loving you, ooh

When I felt i was going under
You sent the only one for me
Chorusx2
When this life is over
Even when this life is over I’ll still love you

Ooh I’d start to wonder can anybody hear me
When I felt I was going under
You sent the only one for me
I Write This Song For You
Verse1
Nobody told me that road wouldn’t be easy
So without you, I don’t know what I would do
Like the very first time that I played myself some Donny
I thought to myself, “This is what I wanna do”
And for the very first time in my life
I’m doing what feels so right
Cuz this right here could change my life
Chorus2
I write this song for you
I write this song for you, for you
Verse2
I remember waking up on saturday mornings to cartoons
And my dad making pancakes listening to some blues
And go to bed at night to my mom play Beethoven’s Moonlight
Or Oscar Peterson’s Come Rain or Come Shine
And for the very first time in my life
I’m doing what feels so right
Cuz this right here could change my life
Chorusx2
