No Rush 03:22
VERSE 1 Nights like this tryna sneak away, then you walked in you left me with none to say / The jaw drop had me lose my way, mind is going crazy placing thoughts in play / But no one here knows, what I wanna do do do / I’ll show you one thing, experience the new new new / So before I say, I don’t wanna assume ‘sume ‘sume / Girl there’s no rush / CHORUS We got some time, let’s move on the floor / Me crossing the line, hold back the door / Girl take your time, I’ll find you more / Show me a sign, girl let’s explore oh yeah / VERSE 2 Girl you got me waiting so patiently oh no / Heart is racing while your body’s teasing me / You had me lose all reasoning, mind anticipating waiting painfully / But no one here knows, what I wanna do do do / I’ll show you one thing, experience the new new new / So before I say, I don’t wanna assume ‘sume ‘sume / Girl there’s no rush / CHORUS / RAGGA Listen, gal ya ‘ear me body, callin’ ya body body / A-Kel me need somebody, no no not anybody / Is she the one that me can take it all the way now / She never spoken but her mind give it away now / Rushin’ it while on the hush / She slow me down like the offer is never enough, she’ll come around / So me stay patient with the lion stuck inside / I put it on the line but girl you decide / CHORUS

VERSE 1 The colder it gets, the colder the news / Poverty and distress for the ones that can’t choose / Trapped in a cycle of lies, and turning like seconds / But if they sit down and they don’t try, they miss out on the lesson / PRE-CHORUS Oh, you own your life / With the choice to stand up right / For my people I’ll keep on saying / CHORUS See our writing’s on the wall / It stays if we do nothing at all / See our writing’s on the wall / Don’t want my people to be getting hurt anymore / Anymore, anymore, anymore / Anymore, anymore, anymore / VERSE 2 With all this fighting in life, trying to comprehend / A mother knows the will to survive, and only love can save her man / But nothing can change unless, we stand together as one / We must find the strength from within and pass it on, pass it on / PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS / GUITAR SOLO / PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS

Chance Go By 03:22
VERSE 1 The day turns to night, another one gone / Living my life as a woman who’s strong / As independent as a girl can be when alone / Knowing that I’m free and I can make it on my own / But life is not made for one not to share / They tell me that I’m missin' care and the kisses / Then I see him, and my heart just skipped a beat / And he got me thinkin' / CHORUS Oh this feeling that’s come over me / I’m locked into his mystery / And I don’t even know his name / But still, can’t help but gaze in front of me / Into blank spaces wondering / It could be just him and I / And I shouldn’t let it go / VERSE 2 I question myself, could this be real? / My mind is not telling my heart what to feel / As complicated as I make my life out to be / (This really could be the beginning of our story) / Oh still I’m unsure, keep up my wall / Maybe he can chip away leading to a better day / Give him a chance and be open to what this could be ohhh / CHORUS Oh this feeling that’s come over me / I’m locked into his mystery / And I don’t even know his name / But still, can’t help but gaze in front of me / Into blank spaces wondering / It could be just him and I / And I shouldn’t let this chance go by / BRIDGE Woah, 'cause I / I know that I deserve all the love and happiness but it's on me / I keep on pushing away any chance he has to stay / I’m makin’ up any excuse and lying, refusing, but I can’t do it anymore / Knock my fear and be strong, take rights or the wrongs / And embrace the feeling that’s love / CHORUS
6.
VERSE 1 Lights up in the morning, the shades pulled down / Sun is on the rise but the devil in disguise he been around / Called her last evening, told her she's the one / The game is catching on, knew that it was wrong but still it's done / PRE-CHORUS He admits to her, what she already knows / Tried to keep it strong, but she just let it go / CHORUS Girl got a ticket on the train to nowhere, she don't know what to do now / The road is rough, she’s had enough, but she don't know what to do / Girl been sitting on a train to nowhere, she don’t know what is true now / Runnin’ away, no she can’t stay, now he don’t know what she do / VERSE 2 Time passes slowly, but now she sees / Reflecting on the past to the time that didn't last, what could have been / Oh feeling so much stronger, growing every single day / Knowing when he met her, he would never let her feel this way / PRE-CHORUS / CHORUS / BRIDGE All the strength she needs to live on day by day / Looking inside, to see the feeling was new / Taking this pain away / SOLO / CHORUS
7.
Carry On 04:05
VERSE 1 Sometimes we forget how things used to be / But now you feel you been let down by the ones you care about / Thinking that the rain will never stop / There’ll never be a sunny day / And you can’t carry on so let me tell you that day ends today / PRE-CHORUS I know that you find it hard to see, let me in and beside you / When the world is your enemy, call me and I’ll find you / Cause you’re never all alone / And I won’t let you go, no I won’t let you go / CHORUS So why, do you keep everything locked inside of your mind? / Let me know, together we can try / ‘Cause I just need to know, when something’s goin’ on / And know that I am here, to help you carry on / Help you carry on / VERSE 2 This kind of situation, when you need someone to share your pain and frustration / When it weighs too much to bear / Thinking that you’re fighting this solo, it’s all getting outta hand / You feel you can’t control it, let me tell you that I understand / PRE-CHORUS I know that you find it hard to breathe, let me in and beside you / When the world is your enemy, call me and I’ll find you / Cause you’re never all alone / And I won’t let you go, no I won’t let you go / CHORUS / BRIDGE The time will come and you will see / Anything you want you know you can achieve / The time will come and you will see / Just remember that day, and you will not ever let go / CHORUS
8.
Even Though 03:24
VERSE 1 He say, she say they say all they do is talk, they keep talking about you / But I know that it’s not true / What I do know is the way you make me feel / As cliché as it may seem, don’t wanna wake up from this dream / Nobody knows what I have next to me, and that’s the reality / I don’t believe what they all say, telling me that I should not stay / But I still want you / CHORUS Even though they say you’re no good for me / Even though I’m doing this carefully / Baby it’s the way it’s supposed to be, I just can’t get enough / Even though they say you’re no good for me / Even though I’m doing this carefully / Baby it’s the way it’s supposed to be, I just can’t get enough / VERSE 2 Loving so good oh you take my pain away, they see how much I want you now / And still they try to bring us down yeah / You give me everything that I could ever need / I’m so addicted to your love, the time we share is not enough / Nobody knows what I have next to me, and that’s the reality / I don’t believe what they all say, telling me that I should not stay / But I still want you / CHORUS / BRIDGE So if there’s something that I can do to please you / Love you and complete you now / Lady only if you knew then what I found, lift me up from solid ground / Only you make me feel this way, yeah / CHORUS
