Verse 1:
Ya ready for me but on to the next tho
Took a chance to advance now I'm onto the next throne
Switchin' up the vibe onto the next zone
If ya head ain't right, I'm on onto the next dome
I can't be out here settlin' for so-so
you can hit the door if you slowin' down my work flow
I'mma bad one and a rap virtuoso
I'mma get it done even if do it solo
but i got a team and they all be killin' it
you ain't a part of that and it's got you feelin' pissed
and i can't blame you when I seen it that clearly it's
cause this whole time you linked with fake affiliates
I got real friends that's down to really ride for me
They cook breakfast then go and take a stride wit me
They take classes they gettin certified wit me
Every message I send they will reply to me
Chorus:
Ya ready for me but on to the next tho
Now I'm on to the next
Took a chance to advance now I'm onto the next throne
Now I'm on to the next
Switchin' up the vibe now I'm on to the next zone
Now I'm on to the next
And if ya head ain't right on onto the next dome
Now I'm on to the next
Verse 2:
Texting me like W - Y - D
Tryna check in cause troubles you cause I'm free
Plus I'm gettin to the point you cannot deny me
So really the way this happened is so timely
Don't need be held down in tryna get lifted
Now you come around cause I'm fly and I'm fitted
I'm comin' thru drippin', you come through and you parasitic
Tryna suck me dry after not seein' me in a minute
I can't blame 'em, knowin' they wanna taste
I'm a strong shot, you're gonna need chase
I'm out doin shows, bustin' flows on the interstate
It's over once I plug my mic into my interface
This been my fate, tell me who are you to stop it
Your plans are no match for everything I been plottin'
You gon' see it when you see it, I'mma show it when its time
Baby got to move in silence til a blessings truly mine
Chorus (x1)
Verse 3:
We are not compatible, I'm a different breed
You ain't gotta go home, but right now you gotta leave
So call you an Uber or pick you up one of them scooters
Laying all-around town - get where you're going and put it down
I'm just saying keep it moving, don't worry bout what I'm doing
Or wondering if I'm screwing, but I'm more focused on pursuing
A dream bigger than anything a man could ever ruin
Even when I take Ls, I'm learning instead of losing
I blocked you on everything but u still gonna see me
Prolly poppin' up on your timeline or T.V.
Everyone said stay focused ad I'll find the right one
I'm not even close to all I can become
I need a man thats gon' be ready for that elevation
Cause theres no way I can live a life that is basic
If I see an opportunity, I'm gonna take it
Now I'm onto the next cause I ain't got no more time for waitin'
Chorus (x2)

I see an wealth of opportunity that’s up for grabs
If you wanna go in on em then just meet me at the half
A favor for a favor both of us can get a bigger bag
But there’s a level of respect that I had to have
Don’t be mad cause how I needed to be treated
Your sorry don’t mean a thing if your actions repeated
So yeah I have an attitude understand why I’m heated
You actin' like the past could be so easily deleted
But yeah okay, I understand people can change,
I entertained that idea but you still stayed the same
Some parts of just too deeply engrained
So as much as I wanna be there, I gotta refrain
Shed a tear, took a breath, then I bossed up
This time next week I’m bout to have my cost up
Putting in work while you playin' into gossip
Lowering your standards now you out there gettin' tossed up
Chorus:
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Verse 2:
You at the same pace while I'm only getting faster
By the time you get to me, I think you're gonna need a ladder
Why you care what people think? I only take it as some chatter
If they not up on my level, they opinions do not matter
Frustrated at waiting I'm ready to go after
Every beat that I can flatter - g'on and get it mixed mastered
You can't keep up with my rhymes it's got you feelin' badgered
Plus my waist is getting skinny but my booty's getting fatter
My skin is getting clearer when I'm lookin the mirror
I noticed I got thicker when I'm checkin' out my pictures
I'm making gains all day in this glow up -
If I feel bad, I just look good and show up
This whole time you been burying me, taking me for granted
But bet you didn't realize the seed that you just had planted
That's on you, tryin to play me for a fool
But I use it like a tool - took that and made it fuel
Chorus:
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Verse 3:
I know you hate it cause I'm not only surviving, but I'm thriving
and I got all my chakras in alignment
It's all about perspective; you could see it as inspiring
But you chose to stay despising - It's all good I'm still smilin'
Cause I once had braces that cost too much
Not to show my pearly whites and strut stuff
Wherever I go i know Im getting that hook up
Got so much plug my friends call me clutch
I touch down in any town and get shown love
Just how I imagined it'd be when I'm all grown up
I went from dreaming to schemin' something extreme
The kids that used to picked over me now wish they was on my team
But I'm not trippin now you know game go
No matter what I went through I stuck with my same goal
So this is for everybody who judged wit known nothin' 'bout me
And all the haters that prolly still gonna doubt me
Chorus:
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Ya hate made me more strong
That's how I wrote this song
(how I wrote this song)
You thought I'd thought I'd be dead gone
But I'm not cause I wrote this song
(cause I wrote this song)
Outro:
Wrote this song
(me more strong)
Wrote this song
(dead and gone)

Worthy

Verse 1:
I just wanted to give him morning head, make him breakfast and bed
But he wanna start an argument with me instead
Doin' the most over a comment under my instagram post
A guy was callin' me purdy - I'm like get over it yo
I'm not even bringing up hoes and the asses you double tapping
but you say it doesn't matter cause you just liking not chatting
but im like why even do that then? It's only time before that happens
I can't have my man out here lookin like he fallin' for thirst trapping
And all the meanwhile you be stalkin' my page
Like you tryna find hints that you bout to get played
I show you anything everything you wanna know
But it's never good enough, you still gon' call me hoe
even tho I been lovin' you only true to you
I gave you all of me thats too much to lose
And you know this ain't cute - You ain't treat me right
So you have no right to get mad when I'm leaving tonight
Chorus:
I know I never did you dirty (dirty)
I know that I'm a good woman and I'm worthy (worthy)
Of being treated exactly how I wanna (wanna)
Without ever havin' to deal with all your drama (drama)
I thought that we could work it out; I was hoping it would get better
We'd be cuddling watchin' movies in matching pajama sweaters
We'll be cookin' for each other and trying new things together
Workin' towards a loft - We'll have our picture on the dresser
sometimes it hurts me cause we could have made a great team
So much potential, I could see it in my daydream
I'm gonna find somebody out there that could give the same thing
Minus all the drama, accusations and blaming
but at least you taught me that love just ain't enough
Our relationship was dust once you crushed all my trust
I was tried my best but just couldn't adjust
To you not following thru on things we discussed
It's like the more I put in the more that I lost
'Til I finally couldn't keep affording the cost
You got the nerve to turn around and tell I didn't care
Well if that's how u feel - try finding better elsewhere
Chorus:
I know I never did you dirty (dirty)
I know that I'm a good woman and I'm worthy (worthy)
Of being treated exactly how I wanna (wanna)
Without ever havin' to deal with all your drama (drama)
I never cheated cause I never needed no one else
You can't believe it, guess thats something you never felt
Confused cause you never had a girl like me
It's not my fault you can't comprehend my loyalty
I gave this everything but didn't get an ROI
Of course I was hoping my investment would multiply
You want my love but now that's something you gotta earn
And it's not barely giving back what I do in return
I can't teach you certain things you shoulda learned
You short sighted and I'm thinking about the long term
Smoke a blunt to Usher 'cause I gotta let it burn
Baby it might be your world but I made it turn
I made it spin, made it twirl. Was your girl. Kept it lit
Kept it real. Kept it loyal and legit.
I gave you my trust how could you break it?
You gave me something I couldn't explain it
My love was real, no way I could fake it
It's tearing me up, my heart cannot take it
Chorus (x3):
I know I never did you dirty (dirty)
I know that I'm a good woman and I'm worthy (worthy)
Of being treated exactly how I wanna (wanna)
Without ever havin' to deal with all your drama (drama)

Went Back
03:58
|
|||
Chorus:
I went back when I said I wasn't
I swore I wouldn't, but then I does it
It seems to happen all of a sudden
I didn't tell you, don't want your judgement
Verse 1:
It's easy to walk away and say that it's over
it's harder to go more than a week of been sober
There's a lot of ups and downs riding this roller coaster
finding it harder to hold my composure
I can admit it
I am addicted
don't know how to fix it
didn't know I was afflicted
so deeply that I was shiftin'
I love something that made me so sick this
is so twisted
how'd I miss it
Intuition tried to tell
but I didn't listen/
And now I see I been giving in the cycle/
All those months that I look.back I have been in denial /
Halted things I loved, suddenly I went idol/
So isolated at times I felt mad suicidal
Not that it's something that I would try
I just didn't care if I died at that moment in time
The pains was amplified I gave into lies as
'Til the wool lifted from my eyes and I took back my life
Chorus:
I went back when I said I wasn't
I swore I wouldn't, but then I does it
It seems to happen all of a sudden
I didn't tell you, don't want your judgement
Verse 2:
I know I said I wouldn't and I swear I was set
Weather I stay or walk away there'll be regret
There's a vicious battle between my heart and my mind
It's tearing me apart; It's time to pick a side to align
Theres a conflict - my logic and emotions don't mix
I start getting withdrawals bad and needing you quick
You give that fix, with the right words or a kiss
My whole plan is eclipsed
I tried to.stay away but couldn't resist
Wish it was easy as its made out to sound
How do I break out of this if I am spellbound?
I'm getting dizzy from riding this merry go round
Tried to mute you but you still playin' in my background
Even while I smile there's a sadness that seeps
Underneath... way down, I'm talking bout deep
It creeps up on me in my sleep or those vulnerable moments
When it hits me that I miss you and didn't even know it
Chorus:
I went back when I said I wasn't
I swore I wouldn't, but then I does it
It seems to happen all of a sudden
I didn't tell you, don't want your judgement
Verse 3:
I'm stressed and overthinking
It's got me smoking and drinking/
Clinking my glass to the past I been clinging to and ask
for God to bring in new memories or remedies to the pain I feel
Cause things I used to love just do not have the same appeal
I pack my life with distractions - I enrolled in more classes
Play somebody else that's why I like acting
I use that and rapping as my way of trying to sober up
And yeah it makes me happy but still I'm not over us
So I still come over love - just no overnights
It's not that dangerous if I microdose right?
It hurt me too much tryna quit you cold turkey
Plus you said you'd go half with me on this journey
I'm in Richmond, you in Oakland, so meet me in Berkeley
Just let me know and I'll be there when I'm done working
Like that we're back so naturally and that's all it took
No matter how many times I quit you, I can't cause I'm hooked/
Chorus (x2):
I went back when I said I wasn't (ooh I went back)
I swore I wouldn't, but then I does it (didn't mean to do that)
It seems to happen all of a sudden
I didn't tell you, don't want your judgement

I'm Gonna Be
03:58
|

I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be
Verse 1:
About me? I been rapping since 14
To impress a boy in 9th grade, tryna make it seem
Like I'm the cool girl in class instead of a cute girl with ass
They used to think I was a hoe, didn't know I had flow with these raps
'Cause I never had siblings or a mom or a dad
I wrote songs to move on past what I didn't have
My great grandmother raised me as best as she could
Being a poor single parent just trying to do good
There was a void I never filled setting fire in my soul
Our relationship was tense and started to take a toll
I ran away from home, leaving the safety that I'd known
But I knew I had to do it if I ever want to grow
I got to college on a full scholarship at the UC
Became the first in my fam to touch a degree
Pavin' a path for others like the one paved for me
I'm tryna be somebody my grandma could watch on T.V.
Chorus:
I wanna be
I wanna be on
I wanna be
I wanna be known
I wanna be
I wanna be everything I know I can be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be placed
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be everything I knew I'd become
Verse 2:
Making a living in the Bay ain't a game mayne it's hard
Neighborhoods getting gentrified by the boulevard
So I always kept three jobs and some side work
Been 10 years at Marriott at the front clerk
My main job now is teaching kids how to rap
Not just that but Hip Hop culture and it's past
Got a fourth, fifth grade, and kindergarten class
And a bunch of teaching expenses to write off on my tax
Also taught middle school dance in addition to rhyme
While picking up some paid gigs on my off time
I'm a Zumba instructor, a rape counselor, and more
10,000 Degrees was the non-profit I work for
There, developing curriculum is my craft
Perfect every Powerpoint and train the whole staff
They bring it to the class, deliver it to the students
even when I'm not in the room, I'm still an influence
Chorus:
I wanna be
I wanna be on
I wanna be
I wanna be known
I wanna be
I wanna be everything I know I can be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be placed
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be everything I knew I'd become
Verse 3:
I met my dad when I was seventeen
But even then it was in jail through a phone and T.V. screen
A little after that I became homeless - I was sleepin’ in my car
Sitting alone with my pain just wishin' upon the stars
If you asked how I survived I couldn’t really say how
But I knew there was hope - I was close to a way out
Then found out I was pregnant and that news came heavy
Nine weeks in - I miscarried while working at Chevys
Some folks that I had stayed with had me robbed up in a set up
Tried to brag about it later, my homie there had 'em wet up
I never asked him to but it felt good to know he’d ride for me
He did it on some love, I never even let him slide in me
Maybe I shoulda cause I ended up with the wrong guy
Who left some bruises on my arm and tears in my eyes
Sometimes I think about it and still feel what I felt
But I cant come to regret it cause that pain made me myself
Chorus:
I wanna be
I wanna be on
I wanna be
I wanna be known
I wanna be
I wanna be everything I know I can be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be placed
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be everything I knew I'd become
Outro:
I'm gonna be on
I'm gonna be known
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be everything I knew I'd become

You Give Me Something
03:00
|

Oooh, ooh
Oh you give me something
Bridge:
You give me comfort, you're the one that I can run to
Easy to find you, how you shining like the sun do
It wasn't hard to make you the only one I'm loving
Loyalty comes naturally because you give that something
Verse 1:
You give me something, I never knew that I needed
Like the final piece of the puzzle now I am completed
At first I didn't wanna receive it - 'cause couldn't see it
the bigger picture and now how you're sent for a reason
You give me a different feeling - one that I have never noticed
I didn't see you in my frame - fixated on gettin focused
But now I note it and I understand the motive
Fact that you attractive is just added bonus
You give me something I didn't know I was missin'
almost forgot how soft your lips were but then I kissed them
if I ever said I wanted to go, boy I was just kidding
you give me something and i just hope you keep on giving
I can't pinpoint what it is, that exact need you fulfill
but its more than just physical cause we never done the deal
All this time passes by but the feelings remaining still
Even tho it's only now and then we get a lil time we can chill
Chorus:
So come and tell me something (something that I feel)
Come and tell me something
Because you give that something (something that I feel)
Bridge:
You give me comfort, you're the one that I can run to
Easy to find you, how you shining like the sun do
It wasn't hard to make you the only one I'm loving
Loyalty comes naturally because you give that something
Verse 2:
You give me laughter; You bring me solace
You understand that I am a goddess
You give me patience and inspiration
Conversations take me away like vacations
That's new grounds for exploration,
I knew I hit a home run, when I got you all in my life
It's so nice, I don't ever have to think twice
That's that real type - make me wanna get wifed
All them other dawgs be afraid of my bite
But you ain't ever been afraid of my hype
What can I say you give something I like
I can't hide or describe it but I know that it feels right -
All that I'm feeling inside
There are no egos involved, I could swallow your dick in the same way I swallow my pride
There are no heights I wouldn't go
There's a reason I been granted this throne
You don't ever have to be alone
I got your back for all the love you have shown
Ha - what I won't do for love
I try everything but I don't give up
And I may not find what I dream of
But I search for mine -that one true love!
Chorus:
So come and tell me something (something that I feel)
Come and tell me something
Because you give that something (something that I feel)
Bridge:
You give me comfort, you're the one that I can run to
Easy to find you, how you shining like the sun do
It wasn't hard to make you the only one I'm loving
Loyalty comes naturally because you give that something
(You give that something)
Yeah you give me something...

New Standard
03:44
|

Yeah I got a new...
Yeah I got a new...
Verse 1:
New year, same me, but I'm upgrading
Some will be mad to see how I'm changing
I'm peakin' out of my cocoon, I can feel it in my womb,
I'm 'bout to bloom soon
The time is opportune and I been waitin' on this moment
I picked which path to follow by heeding to the omens
I was hypothesizing, but now I'm really knowin'
I'm never gonna let anything stop me from growin'
If you don't like it then I'm on to the next tho
I wrote this song cause I had to go flex so
You know I'm worthy, never settling for less no
I'm setting deadlines and giving it my best go
I pay attention to the signs that's in front of me
I'm gonna manifest everything I'm gonna be
You give me something and I ain't afraid to give it back
I got a new standard and this here is the soundtrack
Chorus:
It was cool then,
Not now no more
I'm not like how I was before
I got a new standard (I got a new standard)
I got a new standard (I got a new standard)
And I'll cut off anybody tryin' to stifle growth
I could swear to that like a Bible oath
Bridge:
More pressure to get better
I'm trying to meet a new measure
I can multiple with more effort
I'm already a go-getter
(Repeat)
Verse 2:
So you can try and say that I'm acting brand new
but I'm only doin' everything I'm supposed to
I do not give more than I'm willing to lose
And I got a little meaner cause my kindness was abused
Nitpick everything I do, analyze my every move
That be messin' up my mood
That's why I put my shoes on and get gone 'cause I got a new song
Yeah you might be an atom but I am a neutron
I add mass, what you gonna do without that?
I guess we'll only know that I'm about to fall back
No more investing in potential, now I'm judging off of patterns
No bickering over pettiness instead of things that matter
I'll take the short term struggle for long term goals
Instead of short term satisfaction on a dead-end road
Now I'm done with detours - I need more
there's a chance I'd with you but I'd rather be sure
I want'd to make love, you'd rather make war
I'm gettin a lil money, I'd like to make more
What you think I been stayin' up these nights late for?
not gon stop til I'm all up on the billboard
I know you see it so go ahead and take a gander
I'm used to being peeped by all the bystanders
ask me when you want some honest answers
No holding back cause I got a new standard
Chorus:
It was cool then,
Not now no more
I'm not like how I was before
I got a new standard (I got a new standard)
I got a new standard (I got a new standard)
And I'll cut off anybody tryin' to stifle growth
I could swear to that like a Bible oath
Bridge:
More pressure to get better
I'm trying to meet a new measure
I can multiple with more effort
I'm already a go-getter
(Repeat)

Yeah I got a new...
Yeah I got a new...
