Sugar Fit
Watered the plants
Now, they can thrive
See them dance
I know they’re alive
Wanting to lose
This weight that’s holding me down
Shaking this blues
And repping my space now
It takes a challenge
For me to roar into action
But I’m just not that savage
Soooo prone to distraction
Chorus
Yeah, okay,
I’ll take the hit
Oh, well,
Having a sugar fit
Verse 2
Sometimes, it’s the hard times
That brings me back to life
Often, it’s the time-crimes
That haunt me through the night
Chorus
Yeah, okay,
I’ll take the hit
Topping the night off with
My sugar fit
Verse 3
Fall in my own pit
Even when spot it
slipping on my own spit
I'm in the thick of it
Chorus
Yeah, okay,
I’ll take the hit
Giving the middle finger
In favor of my sugar fit
Yeah, okay,
In the middle of it
Can’t manage it
In desperate need of a sugar fit

Anything
Chorus
Anything you that want want
You have your way
Cause anything that you don’t don’t
You make us pay
Verse 1
You say you care about
those in need
But all you care about
Is feeding your greed
Poverty pimps and
Xenophobic dreams
Plays itself out
On every screen
Chorus
Anything that you want want
You have your way
Cause anything that you you don’t don’t
You make us pay
Bridge
Anything you want
You take it
You break it
You wreck it
Verse 2
You claim it is right
To nurture your fears
With fond hindsight
Of yesteryears
Protecting ears
From words of hate
May prevent tears
But won’t placate
Change
Anything you want
You just take it
Snake it up
Make it up
And fake it
Bridge
Anything you want
You take it
You break it
You wreck it
Chorus
Anything that you want want
You have your way
Cause anything that you don’t don’t
You make us pay
Verse not used in song
You only hear
When you agree
You always fear

Stay With Me
Baby Baby Baby
Everything about you

My body fire
The passion so high
The feeling is dire
Stay With Me Tonight
Baby Baby Baby
I just know
I’m better with you
Baby Baby Baby
When I’m alone
I don’t know what to do
Honey Sugar Honey
Every night I wanna
Be with you
Honey Sugar Honey
My body aches
And longs for you

Love Yourself (Joy+Peace)
Chorus
Looking for someone
to make you happy
Will only end sadly
But when you love yourself
And then everyone else
Joy + Peace will find you
Verse 1
Trying your best
To make them love you
By doing things
That only help you
Trying hard
To capture their heart
By showing what
Isn’t you
Fake it
Until you can’t take it
Deep inside
You’re so blue
Can’t stand
Your own reflection
And thought
Of your rejection
Chorus
Looking for someone
to make you happy
Will only end sadly
But when you love yourself
And then everyone else
Joy + Peace will find you
Verse 2
Trying your best
To impress them
By being all
They want of you
You find, you lost
Your direction
And lacking in love
And Affection
Honestly
Unconditionally
Is the love
You seek
You find you don't
Wanna see
The truth
Will set you free
Chorus
Looking for someone
to make you happy
Will only end sadly
But when you love yourself
And then everyone else
Joy + Peace will find you

Faith In Me
Chorus
I have it all
Because you
Have Faith in me
Even when I fall
I know that
You got me
Verse 1
When I’m sinking
Down, down, down, down
Get lost in my mind
Don’t want nobody
Around, around, around
Insecure and confined
Happiness doesn't
Come easily
It’s demanding
Sacrifice from me
But when I feel you
Accepting me
For who I am
I know I’m free
Chorus
I have it all
Because you
Have Faith in me
Even when I fall
I know that
You got me
Verse 2
When I’m tripping
Around, around, around
Can’t see my way through
I feel me losing
So much, ground ground ground
Don’t know what to do
Asking for a
Helping hand
Is a sign of weakness
For a man
But oh I’ve learned
From being with you
Seeking help
Is a manly thing to do
Chorus
I have it all
Because you
Have Faith in me
Even when I fall
I know that
You got me

Flying High
Not going to let you
bring me down
Because I’m flying high
Flying high
Gon on keep on smiling
Won’t wear a frown
Because I’m flying high
Flying high
Going to hold my head up
No matter what I hear
Going to hold my head up
Even when you don’t cheer
Going to be excited
Even if I fail
Because I’m flying high
Flying high
Going to celebrate
When you’re raising hell
Because I’m flying high
Flying high

Honey
Chorus
Pour it on me
Honey
Let your love ooze down
On me
Verse
Pour it in
Pour it down
Overflowing
Lick it up
Put that honey in the cup
It comes in rhythms
It comes in rhymes
Hides in the curtains
Shows itself naked sometimes
Change
‘Won’t pick up the phone
‘Still expects me to take her home
Treats me
Then tricks me
By cutting straight to the bone
Chorus
Pour it on me
Honey
Let your love ooze down
On me
Verse
Dumping that ooze
Over my head
Makes me dizzy
Makes me woozy
It whispers in rhythms
It whispers in rhymes
Hides in curtains
And can be bitchy sometimes!
Change
Won’t pick up the phone
Still expects me to take her home
Treats me
Then tricks me
By cutting straight to the bone
It’s gonna be
Alright
Honey Honey

Start Over
Can we start over
Maybe this time
We can slow it down
Can we start over
Maybe we can
Find common ground
Why am I
Always fighting With you
Can’t find my way
To peace with you
Why can’t we
Respectfully disagree
Even if we can’t
Live in harmony
Can we start over
Maybe this time
We can slow it down
Can we start over
Maybe we can
Find common ground
Can we try
To forget our pride
And find a way
To decrease the divide
We do not see
Things eye to eye
But we can try
To remain civilized
Can we meet again my friend
Find a better way to begin

It’s Alright to Feel It!
You so afraid
To let go and let

Let it in your bones
You’ll find that, you react
There ain’t nothing wrong
It’s Alright don’t you know
It’s Alright to Feel It
It’s Alright don’t you know
It’s Alright to Feel It

Dormant in
Your heart
Let it make
Peace with
What is
Tearing you Apart
You know the rhythm
In your soul is like a jones
Cause once you release yourself
You know it can’t be wrong

In America (What’s Going On?)
What’s going on?
Verse One
Should I be afraid to speak my mind?
In America
If I burn the flag, will I do some time?
In America
Does it make a difference what race I’m in?
In America
Does freedom equal white skin?
In America
Well, well, well….
Chorus
I gotta know
What’s going on?
Can I get a witness?
What’s going on?
I gotta know
What’s going on?
Let me get a witness?
What’s going on?
You better know.
What’s going on?
Give me a witness.
What’s going on?
I gotta know
What’s going on?
We’ve got to witness.
What’s going on?
Verse Two
You tell me that I am free.
In America
But it’s a dope man or poverty?
In America
Does it make a difference what race I’m in?
In America
Or does freedom equal white skin?
In America
Well, well, well….
Change
You want this nation
To unite as one,
But you deny you black
Daugthers and sons?
