VERSE 1 I was thinking If we could make things Exclusive We been in similar Spots before (So what you think about changing it, like) BRIDGE I'd like to be Everything that you desire So is you down with me CHORUS If I was your man You wouldn't have to keep it on the low You can tell your friends Anything they want to know And we can coast from town to town Anywhere you want If I was your man You'd live a life you'd never know VERSE 2 Ride bikes in the breeze Reminisce in the sea Walk around in pure silence Understand life is what we make it Forever I would show you what forever love is Swimming in fantasies as if we met as kids Listen, OK, we can make things crazy If you be my baby BRIDGE CHORUS VERSE 3 You know (that) there's no one else Who moves and flips and does the things that I do Baby won't you come away with me and fly up to the moon If (I was) yours You wouldn't have to worry If I was your boy (You wouldn't have to -you wouldn't have to) CHORUS If I was your boy (x4)

Tats on my body Piercings you see My auras delightful God designed me Break bread when I got it Let you drive when you wanna So I'm gone shine, soleris This uniqueness, yea y'all feel it Knighted by the moon Feel the energy in you I'm here.. I'm here and ain't going nowhere With anyone else, shits so empty Contigo, because only you get me Big feet, dancing G Entertainer first, love hurts spark the weed Puff slow, drink more, don't think he keeps up with me Slow grind, money on my mind got the delivery Can't shock me I got the remedy you feeling me Take you to spacial ground with this melody Universal mind we must not think alike Look at my stature on sight, you know that I'm looking right You can search but yea right won't find another like By the chance that you might I'm just saying he's not (not) CHORUS - Christlo & Nyasia (He ain't like me x2 He might wanna fight me x2 They can try me x2 He ain't like me x2) I'm the one who keeps it rocking I'm the one that's never stopping They can hate all I'm sayin Ya nigga (girl) there ain't got it like me Keeps it droppin on the low see They ain't got nothing on me see ('Lo C) They can hate all I'm sayin Ya nigga (girl) there ain't got it like VERSE 2 - Nyasia I ain't got no time A girl like me is really hard to find Ain't trying to be with me you must be blind And I can't go through that with you, this ain't it And I don't know why I'm still stuck on you Because what you do says this ain't true And it feels like I'm wasting space In my heart, just for the chase (on shit, on it) And I've outgrown this (even when you hold this) And I can't go through that with You this ain't it CHORUS

VERSE 1 - Quam So this is for my divas The Mariah's and Selena's Singers, Fashionistas with overpriced Adidas With perfect facial features like Rita or Alicia No need for oral please just sit down and hit this reefer Yeezus, excuse me, praise Jesus Excuse me, say jeepers To all the girls that actually listen to the teachers I'm proud of you And honestly that constitutes a shot at you Your intelligence is just as beautiful as your body boo Now let's get down Spin around and touch the ground now Let's get down I can show you all the better things Spend this cheddar cheese And like a diamond ring I can be your everything CHORUS I can be your everything VERSE 2 - Christlo. Have you been sleeping through night? You been searching but answers have been so hard to find Peep you staring at me through glimpses of moonlight Hopes not faded not jaded stated your sunshine I know I look like I break hearts and that ain't true, so I see you got a couple of scars and that ain't good, though It's gon' be beneficial to you if you was my boo Maybe you need a brand new start and I can show you Who puts it down like me And make you smile like me Tell me who's who making them dividends keeping you out the streets This ain't no showdown for my crown who's holding me? 'Cause if they bout it lets see about it You fuckin' with Cee CHORUS

VERSE 1 (I once) was a small being dreaming of some thing that I can do (I once) was the one that didn't want anything, but now (I) wanted to make a change in me So you all can see, I want it all Call me greedy, but I know that I want CHORUS The lights (I want that) The fans (I want that) The Dance (I want those) Long nights I wanna be on the front stage with people screaming my name VERSE 2 - Gaybriel Trendz Heaviest hitter wears the crown Makes it hard to lean forward let alone bow down Gotta keep my shoulders square like that Urkel clown I ain't never gave up and I won't stop now no No stoppin' me 'cause I want that Don't copy me 'cause it won't last You a credit line, I'm straight cash Don't race with me, 'cause I'm too fast Paparazzi stalking me Stadium full of groupies straight hawkin' me My name in lights that's all I see 'Cause I want that F.A.M.E. King Bey said that "Lights, Camera, Action" Hollywood, it's a fatal attraction CHORUS VERSE 3 (x2) The mic in my hand Watching the crowd in my span Flashing lights Chrome in my ride Chorus (x4)

VERSE 1 I know myself I know I'm selfish I want your best Even though I can't have it Who else tends to your needs like me (nobody) Not being cocky, but so obviously can't you see No fallacy, no make up dream I just CHORUS I just don't want nobody else to have you Don't want nobody else to have you Don't want you treating somebody else right When that could've been me every night Don't want nobody else VERSE 2 I don't want you doing things that you could've down for me For him It's a shame that you couldn't make the time But I swear if you dare feel that you can make the time for him I'd lose it Now we've given each other opportunities Back and forth (back and forth) With so much (so much) Arguing So it seems we can't make our lives bend Still would hate it if were to happen with another CHORUS [Instrumental plays] VERSE 3 Oh my heart.. Don't run game on me (you know I deserve you) I never hated thee (still you did the things you do) Wronging me, down talking me Making me feel useless Still you'll come back Crying, begging and I still can't see this pointless (why) CHORUS

(Oprah and Maya Angelou converse) "DROP THAT BITCH..."

VERSE 1 Gun shots kills Black blood spills Over indifference Can we not get over this hill You will not make me feel shame Because of the color that I came Or because the life that I have claimed I'm tearing your barriers down (down) Yo We gotta love each other But until that hate is over I will be fighting For my life.. And my win CHORUS And no ones gon make me feel bad bout my skin VERSE 2 Whether you are gay Whether you are straight Whether you been bullied all the time Tried in your space Whether you been crying, fighting back fears, you'll be fine Know you're not alone, no There is a light shining at the end if each tunnel (tunnel) We can make the change we gotta stick together You are beautiful no matter what they tell ya No need to be sad they can't make you feel bad Bout your skin CHORUS

Guess you left your heart in Miami No signs of bleeding but you know you hurt me Remember when you said you were busy But that you'd always make time for me Do you not remember everything you told me Like how you wanted us to be a family All the promises that you couldn't keep See if I waited on you where would I be Do you remember (x4) I'm at a weird point in my life where I seem to keep constantly losing my way And the strain of judgmental eyes Bombarding my time yea the very time you said wouldn't go away Please excuse me if I fade to black Everything we tried was all wack The love between us now Is so pure Even now you'd still be bad to me 'Cause I remember Why do we follow this line of treating sick instead of curing Is money that important you'd wanna see death incurring (so fast) Slowly killing each other, where's the love for our brother Differences are strong but love is so much stronger Where did the happiness go I thought I knew myself Self ending thoughts happen so Can't trust nobody else Even my lovers let go What you see is what I allow Maybe if I was more attractive for you Maybe I wouldn't be the one to blame Everything has been explained When will you get it When will it get better

VERSE 1 We been hurt before Sometimes more than we can endure Inside of our minds But you see me Still standing Strong and proud So should you (so should you) So never worry About all the things You have no control over (you have no control over) If it's meant to be I mean really meant to be All will be yours, right? I mean, alright CHORUS Love, pain, happiness and hurt Misunderstanding in this universe Oh baby oh the things that are, the things that are Get over 'em, movin' on, celebration 'Cause when it rains it will be pourin' so know Oh baby know, the things that are, the things that are VERSE 2 Life and love aren't fair And your heart might have to pay a fare A million times You may hurt, but that fine Sometimes your friends aren't really there Steady actin' fake over there And not by your side It's not right, but that's life Don't let others destroy your inner peace Forgive, you'll see the serenity Have peace, generosity, empathy and creativity In your life, and you won't get hurt anymore CHORUS I've come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I'm going and I've trained myself to love it Because it only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight Life is too short to waste any time wondering what people think about you What's important to me is not others opinion of me but what's important to me is my opinion of myself The things that are...

VERSE 1 I give you the world Then you take advantage of it Wanted to share my world Then you make me regret it You don't know the loops I go through You don't know (you don't know) Am I going through this alone Or are you playing stupid I got somebody at home CHORUS I'd give you the world VERSE 2 I'd do anything for you Even at the risk of going broke Don't leave me alone Don't make feel I'm gon choke Right here is the part when you Apologize for what you Said you wouldn't put me through And now it's all up to you Recognize that what you see When you are looking at me Is love you can guarantee As wide as the fuckin sea CHORUS ENDING We'll do this all the time Going mad our rage is blind Said I hate you but I lied Yet we'll always make it right You'll smile at me, make it fine We'll get through all the time... Yea we do this all the time

about

My first album that I've been working hard on self-producing. The title came to mind because during this time in my life I've been having trouble accepting things for the way they are, that friends may not always be there when you need them and that some relationships don't last the way you want and that they have to end. That life can also be fun when you choose to have fun and these.. are The Things That Are.
