Intro (Cumulus) by Ayana
Take some deep breaths
Close your eyes
Ad imagine standing on a cloud
A tangerine and lemon skyline
With a small flavor of plum violet shades
The sun is setting right underneath you
Bringing warmth just below your feet
And in that distance sky, you see something
Something you never thought, in a million years
Would ever be seen in this life
Someone special you thought you would never see again on this earth
A destination that seems so far out of reach in this reality
Now image, you’re floating closer
A warm breeze grazing the skin
Hair blowing in the wind
As your cumulus cloud drifts nearer
You start to see every small detail
Breathing in every aroma
Hearing every faint sound
As your eyes dilate with overwhelming doses of natural dopamine through the body
Sensing massive amounts of joy, love and gratitude
The spirit gravitates towards anything that is connected to one’s destiny
The destiny is what one’s imagination, simply, cant let go of
Let your spirit float like the clouds
Let your imagination run wild
And your dreams will draw nearer
Happy dreaming

I will never let them hurt you, I
I will enver let them work you, I
No they, know they don’t deserve you, I
I, I
No I know what kind of love you crave
Baby you need time to meditate
Maybe baby you should get away
Far away
I will never let them break your heart
I will never let you lose your mind
Now that you can make a brand new start
It’s time
I’ve been watching all the step you make
Crying over all the L’s you take
Thinkin’ they friends (Thinkin’ they friends)
All they seem to do is show you hate
Claiming A1 when I know it’s fake
Never again (Never again)
Never again
We royals
Blood and genes all underneath the skin
Mommy, daddy, sister, all your kin
Chest out, shoulders back, hold up your chin
It has been passed down, down
Keep that in your sub-a-conscious
Just reflect on all the evidence
God is real just know your heaven sent, oh
Everything else is irrelevant
Watching walking, talking, counterfeits
This is your story, who’s telling it
Who?
They don’t know you
Let me show you
Step on these fools
Who is you, you?
This how we do
I will never let them hurt you, I
I will never let them work you, I
No they, know they don’t deserve you, I
I, I
I will never let them break your heart
I will never let you lose your mind
Now that you can make a brand new start
It’s time
(Pow, Clayton)
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
The spirits above you appear when the want to
Put mirrors in front you
To clear up your frontal
Of the fears that confront you
Past years you cant undo
Glass tears roll and tumble
Into broken thoughts
Patterns of ancient rhythms that open vaults
We’ve been down this road before
Just remember it’s no one’s fault
Remember when you used to feel like that
All of your hope was lost
Remember you got jumped two years ago
They almost broke your jaw
Cushion from your hoodie
The only thing that help break your fall
You got up tall, walked home
Then you dust your shoulders off
Next day is scheduled
You got to go for your morning jog
At 5:55 AM
I should have noticed God
Was there to protect me
And didn’t just let things go too far
Air could have left me
Instead, I’m blessed to be hold scars
Stare at your reflection
I dare you
Accept open flaws
Cause, broken nose and all
You should always know how whole you are
King
Princess you’ve become a queen
Living up to all your hopes and dreams
Beauty like no one has ever seen
You were destined for the finer things
I wont let them take your energy
I can hand all the enemies
Think and hold on to your fantasies
With you, I become a better me, yea
With you I become a better me, yea
(I will never let them hurt you, I)
(No they, know they don’t deserve you, I)
(I will never let them break your heart)
(Now that you can make a brand new start)

Baby what you see is more than meets the eye
Real talk
If it’s noise your cooking I see beef I bite
No bark
Treat me right and I’m the sweetest pie you ever

Burns and bruises but I made it through the heat
Won’t fall
Might not have a dime but I still move like
Royalty
Use to follow all the greats I’m ‘bout to take
My lead
All my A1 day one’s at the table

If you can’t remember nothing else Ayana
That’s me
Walking talking shining brighter than the rest

Only one of me your rocking with the best

Feeling lover-ly ‘aint messing with the stress

Only one way to the top yea I’m blessed

But don’t come off to me crazy
Being shady

It can kill
I can’t worry ‘bout your feels
I just gotta keep it real
Bump your maybes I aint waiting on your time
Stand still
I will beat the odds I will do my job
I am my own boss I’m effective just cause
If you think it’s all talk
No prob watch me walk
Imma ball through it all

Walking talking shining brighter than the rest
I am
Only one of me your rocking with the best
I am
Feeling lover-ly aint messing with the stress
I am
Only one way to the top yea I’m blessed

My Room
03:51
|

I set the vibes in my own room
I get wild if I want to
I can cry if I want to
Mind mine if I want to
Get high, yea I want to
Don’t need one’s approval
I’ll get high, just without you
Or you could ride too
You could ride too
In my room
My room
In my room I choose
Choose you today, your gone tomorrow
Either which-a-way its cool I work with any combo
Your trying to push up, hold up, back it up
Don’t take up all my space or you can get the fuck
That’s enough, your crowding me with she say shit
The baggage will go up in flames long with my splif
Long with my shift, you can hold the drama
From fake wanna be down bitches to baby mommas
That was just my karma
That was just my hold up
Now I know better
So, you cant come with too much
Less it’s broccoli and cheddar
Yea my mind is set up
This place is where I settle
So, imma go, do, say, play, love ,make way
Wherever, whatever, whoever whenever, however
Accommodate the peace
Never, never
In my room
My room
In my room I choose
In my room
In my room (In my room)
My room (In my room, I choose)
In my room I choose (I do what I wanna do in my room, in my room)
And that’s for you and for you
For you and for you
I do what I want to in my room
My room
I choose
What I want to in my room

How Does It Feel?
03:54

How does it feel to know, your worst brought out my best
Yes I have healed and grown
Your artificialness showed me what’s real
Real, real
How does it feel to know?
That I’m the best me that I’ve ever been
The darkest moments with you, showed me the life to live
Your selfish ways opened my eyes
Gave me the gift to give
The showers from above
I know what true love, truly was
And is
Responsibility, cant be childish
Accountable accountability, fuck the pride shit
I was so lost with you, and yet you helped me find it
That blessed love and light that burns so bright
Yea I’m so lit as shit
Don’t hurt make hits
My worth my while
Point blank, that’s it
At fault, to blame?
That’s you, you're it
You cant force a puzzle piece
That simply does not fit
So don’t push me cause I’m close to the edge
Thank God I didn’t lose my head
How does it feel to know, your worst brought out my best
Yes I have healed and grown
Your artificialness showed me what’s real
Real, real
How does it feel?
Now, don’t get it twisted
Aint no hard feelings
I hope you find the life to live in
And hope it fixes that broken heart
From all the villains but the demolition
Is not an option
Hope your listening
It’s just constructive criticism
(Don’t take me the wrong way my darling
Clear mind and new heart that’s talking
Maybe one day you’ll understand)
But I don’t have the time to raise a grown man
See I got plans way bigger than me
I just needed new eyes to find what heaven sees
I’ve been reborn, life’s got a hold on me
I never felt so free
(Free, free, free)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to know, your worst brought out my best
Yes I have healed and grown
Your artificialness showed me what’s real
Real, real
How does it feel to know?
To know, to know
How does it feel to know
I know
(I love you though
I really do
I wish you all the best
Forget the rest
You made me
At my best, yes, hey)

It’s the worst crime
You’ve taken my heart for a joy ride
For the last time
Your taking my type for the weak kind
So, welcome to the other side
Welcome to the other side
The other side
The other side
You tell me ‘I’m a real dime’
The dozens come around, now you’re going blind
You’re fucking with my whole mind
You think you know me now, don’t be surprised
When you meet the other side
Here comes the other side
Welcome to the other side
The other side I
(I warn you the one you knew ‘aint the same)
I got enough of the pain
I won’t play these games with you so
(Before my heart gets torn apart once again)
I’m switching up on you babe
I gotta make a change oh
Oh, oh
Oh [Gotta make a change of heart] 2x
Oh
People think it’s so sweet
When karma is the bitter bitch you gotta eat
Keep the same energy
When I bring the heat
Don’t get cold feet
When you meet the other side
(Got beef with the other side?)
Welcome to the other side
The other side
Thinking that I’m too much (too much)
And taking advantage in the same mind (same mind)
You better pick a side
Or go toe-to-toe with my ride-or-die
Yea, that’s my other side
Watch out for the other side
Welcome to the other side
The other side
(What you choose is up to you for my sake)
I’ve had enough of the fakes
I have no more life to waste so
(Take me as I am or watch me float away)
Protecting my energy
I gotta make a change oh
Oh, oh
Oh [Gotta make a change of heart] 2x
Oh
(Ooo, ooo)
(Ooo, ooo)
No specials to the rule
(Ooo, ooo)
Go ‘head and pick and choose 2x
(Ooo, ooo)
I cannot play the fool for you
(Ooo, ooo)
Oh (Ooo), oh (ooo)
Oh (Ooo) [Gotta make a change of heart] 2x
Oh (Ooo)

I don’t know what to say right now
Silence buzzing in my ear screaming so loud
So loud yea
But when you’re here with me I have some pleasant dreams
Body floating through the air standing on a cloud
So proud, yea
My mind is a mess but I gotta get this off my chest
It’s hard to express without your fingertips all on my neck
A moment of space and time with you, baby, is all I need
Only you break the walls down
You set my mind and body free
Give me
(Give me a melody to think about)
I wanna sing it to the whole town, yea, oo
(You give me the words I find so hard to say)
Babe, just think of all the music we can make
Inspiration
(I need, I need, I need, I need)
Inspiration, yea
Visions looking so blurry sometimes
But when I’m with you there’s no issue
Eyes are open wide
Why?
And even late at night, I finally see the light
Fires burning so bright
Your hands around my waist and thighs
My mind is a mess but I gotta get this off my chest
It’s hard to express without your fingertips all on my neck
A moment of space and time with you, baby, is all I need ooo
Only you break the walls down
You set my mind and body free
Give me
(Give me a melody to think about)
I wanna sing it to the whole town, oh, yea
(You give me the words I find so hard to say)
My babe, just think of all the music we can make
Inspiration
(I need, I need, I need, I need)
Inspiration, aye

Bold, mystic creature
I know there’re some people who don’t
Even know your name
Bold are those people
That don’t seem to realize the globe
Changes everyday
Can never be the same
So darling let your hair down and make your sound loud
Be happy here
Have your head in the clouds
Feet on the ground
Leave your worries
Cheers
To the land of the free
Home of the brave
The ones’ who’s looking out for all the finer things
Naturally, we are made
In ways that really no one else could ever break
Don’t let them break it
You belong, sing your song
Close your eyes and scream your thoughts
Take a stance, do your dance
Take my hand, lets walk the lands of
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
My love
Love, oh, love
My love, oh, love
No, you are never alone
I am never opposed
To running in the rain, no
Close in your arms I’m at home
Some may not understand your soul
But I feel all your pain, yea
So, let it all flow, it’s been a long road
Live freely here
Tell me what’s on your mind
We got the time for see of plenty
Tears
For the souls we lost
Broken hearts
Whoever you are, here is where the healing starts
Don’t be afraid
We’re apart
Of a sacred nation, work of art
That’s what you are
You belong, sing your song
Close your eyes and scream your thoughts
Take a stance, do your dance
Take my hand, lets walk the lands of
Love, love
Love, love
I love you, my love
I love you

When you’re here, you are known
Where everything has to grow and everyone can change
To see some better days, yea

The sun, the breeze, my roots, the trees
That’s what I need
The land, the rock, the lake, the stream
That’s what I see
My people, some strangers, a flame and some weed
Where I can be free
Whether the spring or the winter
I’m grateful to Thee
I can only be me
I can only be a
Bloomer in the dead of the cold air
Dreamer in the city of nightmares
I don’t care
Living life like this is our last year
Recover from the woes of the past year
Yea, yea
Dancing in the warm blessed day light
The only thing that naturally feels right
Aint no crime in
Reaching new heights, stimulating your psyche
Come fly with me, just remember
Wild child
Hold on tight and enjoy your ride
Move the clouds, don’t look down
That’s the only rule in the sky
This is our time
We are divine
Wild child
Get loud
And wont you get wild with me
Wild with me
Said wont you get wild with me
Wild with me
Come and get wild with me
Wild with me
Come on and get wild with me
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me)
The night sky and the high tides
The soul ties and the right vibes
The right place and the right time
That’s where your spirit and stars align
There’s more to life than meets the eye
And that’s all I dream
Surviving ‘til I reach the sky (no)
That aint for me
I can only see a
Fire in the coldest of dark nights
Images of making a new life
Where we’re just fine
Can’t nobody dampen the bright shine
That dwells inside the spirit that is all mine
So, I’m dancing under this crescent moon light
The only thing that naturally feels right
Aint no crime in
Living your life, stimulating your psyche
Come ride with me and remember
Wild child
Hold on tight and enjoy your ride
Move the clouds, don’t look down
That’s the only rule in the sky
This is our time
We are divine
Wild child
Get loud
And wont you get wild with me
Wild with me
Come on and get wild with me
Wild with me
Said baby get wild with me (Said baby get wild with me)
Wild with me (Wild with me)
Come on and get wild with me
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me, wild with me, yea)
(Wild with me)
Not to be tamed
Nor to be ashamed
So light in theory
And heavy in power
Lives within us all as beings of this wild
This is our hour
Sincerely, your flower child
So wont you get wild with me
Wild with me
Come on and get wild with me
Wild with me
Come on, baby, get wild with me
Wild with me, yea
Come on and get wild with me
Wild with me, wild with me, yea
