Wonderful Day

It City on the 1 can you hit me
Let’s do this shall we
She halts production but yeah I don’t mind
A paycheck reduction but it’s quitting time
It’s reconstruction on my own damn dime
My introduction to the food stamp line
Don’t need to know the reasons why
‘Cause reason’s always in such short supply
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day
She tossed her bookmark when it lost its charm
But she read the good parts before it got dark
She had a head start when she bought the farm
She hid the cigarettes in the smoke alarm
Don’t need to know the reasons why
‘Cause reason’s always in such short supply
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day
Don’t need to know the reasons why
‘Cause reason’s always in such short supply
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day
Hey it's gonna be okay
‘Cause it's a wonderful day

9 Times Out of 10
03:02
|

Every minute of every day
You give me snippets of the reasons to stay
Every second of every hour
You keep me begging for the sweet and the sour
And I say ooh my baby I’ll pick you 9 times out of 10
I say ooh my baby I’ll take you 9 times out of 10
You got the body and I’ve got the time
You’ve got the kind of look that’s got me spinning on a dime
So hold me closer I ain’t made of glass
I’ve never seen composure with so much class
And I say ooh my baby I’ll pick you 9 times out of 10
I say ooh my baby I’ll take you 9 times out of 10
Oooh yeah alright
Oooh yeah alright
You got the body and I’ve got the time
You’ve got the kind of look that’s got me spinning on a dime
So hold me closer I ain’t made of glass
I’ve never a body with so much class
And I say ooh my baby I’ll pick you 9 times out of 10
I say ooh my baby I’ll take you 9 times out of 10
And I say ooh my baby I’ll pick you 9 times out of 10
I say ooh my baby I’ll take you 9 times out of 10
Oooh yeah alright
Oooh yeah alright

Together

Together, together
Together again
Things I never thought I’d have to miss
Everything that makes life what it is
A hug before a long goodbye
I hope the last one wasn’t the last time
Cause I don’t always say the things I should
Acting like my love is understood
Searching for the reason why
Hoping next time I will get it right
I know you and I
Will be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together again
Learning what to lose and what to save
I know I’ve got a lot to give away
Pushing more with each sunrise
Hoping that we don’t have to compromise
I want to sing with 40000 friends
Feel the wind and sun against my skin
See the smiles, hear the sound
Of the busy streets and the hustle of a crowd
Just look around
And be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together again
(BGVS):
All we are is who we love
And who we love makes us who we are
All we are is who we love
And who we love makes us who we are
We’ll be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together again
We’ll be together, together
Together again
We’ll be together again
(BGVS):
All we are is who we love
And who we love makes us who we are
All we are is who we love
And who we love makes us who we are

Spinning
03:49
|

All in all clawing on my chest
Are the words I can’t give
Falling down calling on my best
For all the worlds I won’t live
If you wanted to, you could get out of here
If you wanted to you could be free
If you wanted to you could be free of me
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
Crawling on the floor tonight
To broker our next deal
Stalling all the door-slam fights
To choke it off at the seam
If you wanted to, you could get out of here
If you wanted to you could be free
If you wanted to you could be free of me
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
Why do you stay with me if you don’t want to
Why do you live with it if you don’t want to
If you don’t want to
Spinning spinning spinning
Spinning spinning spinning
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here
But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone
Spinning spinning spinning

Carried Away
03:37
|

(based on Way With Words by Derrek C. Phillips)
A friend told me once I have a way with words. I often find myself getting carried away with words. If only people could find a better way with words.
Better pray. Pray better while bodies are carried away. Trying to keep my sons and daughters from getting carried that way. Before somebody say “they’re out of control. They got carried away.” As if the only answer for getting “carried away” is getting carried away. Being Black in front of the wrong person could get you buried today.
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
If only George, Ahmaud and Sean could get away, with words. They tried to use them but they were done away with. Word. Breonna Taylor was blown away with nothing to say. You heard? How many bodies need to get carried away? It’s absurd.
We use words everyday but still don’t know our way, with words. The truth is buried away. 21 grams lighter, they lay. Got me feeling a certain type of way. In a word. Got me crying as I pray. Screaming while throwing weight. Still pushing weight off my chest I can’t see. Trying to move the weight, remove the hate, unable to meditate. “I can’t breathe! Stop! Wait!!!”
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
I put my life in these words. I put my strife in these words. Hopefully I can save a life with these words. If only words could bring them back to life. These words.
A friend told me once I have a way with words. I often find myself getting carried away with words. If only people could find a better way. With words. If only people could find a better way.
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
Carried away
Don’t get carried away
Carried away
Don’t get carried away

Who Are You Waiting For
03:19
|

Hey hey it could take forever
For you to wait wait to take a stand
Hey hey but we could stand together
Hey hey and give a good god damn
Thoughts and prayers are a dime a dozen
All I’m looking for is a sign of life
I can breathe I am fine put your words on the line
Oh who are you waiting for
Oh who are you waiting for
Hey hey you call it politics
When the weight weight ain’t on your back
Hey hey it’s an easy fix
When it ain’t ain’t you that’s under attack
Thoughts and prayers are a dime a dozen
All I’m looking for is a sign of life
I can breathe I am fine put your words on the line
Oh who are you waiting for
Oh who are you waiting for
[SOLO]
Oh who are you waiting for
Oh who are you waiting for
