(Bow Down, Bitch
Tiger Fist Ocular)
I’m not your mistress
I came prepared
And I’m armed and I’m dangerous
What’s all the ruckus?
You know we fuckin’
Whip out the sword with the strap
Now we joustin’
Don’t test my patience
Cosplay a misfit
Thought you were cool
At this point you’re just basic
Dripping and running
Cellphone and wine
All of these thoughts,
Gotta unwind
This is not no singer-songwriter shit
Do I look like Taylor Swift?
My DAW stays lucrative when I get in the mix
Solo like it’s always been
Cloaked in black like Anakin
Spend it just to turn to smoke
Flip the switch out,
Unprovoked
My ex thought he had fashion sense
But that boy could only play pretend
All these men who oppress me
And now they want a piece for free
My mindset’s got him throwin’ fits
Or could it just be the distance?
Haven’t blamed you once,
Crimes dismissed
Although I’m feelin’ dissonant

If I cross the river in my mind
Will I sink or will I swim?
Hypercritical of my human design
Bones that creek, my face a waterfall
Take it all back ,
Take it all back
All that shit you heard me say
I’ll take it right back ,
I’ll take it all back
Cause all that shit you put me through
Is breaking my back
It’s breaking my back
(All that shit you heard me say)
All that shit you heard me say
I’ll take it right back ,
I’ll take it all back
Trippin on truth and I’m slippin on facts
And I’m full of water anyway
I’m Trippin on truth and I’m slippin on facts
And I’m full of water ay
I’m done pushing against the current
I’m done fighting against the wind

Three steps away in that early morn (Early morn)
I can’t stand how I go back on my word
Ice cold again on my fingertips
When I touch your heart,
But I can’t resist
Cause I come from the North like you do
I’ve seen snow ,
Turn me blue
My heart,
Was once frozen too
Better take care cause,
Most pieces don’t break in two
Boy I’m tryna tell you
That I get you,
I get you,
Get you,
get you,
get you,
get you,
Ah!
Bookbag, book ends
Make amends
My heart’s a mess
I phone a friend
Left brain, right brain
Count me in
I ruminate and then create
I do wonder what’s next for me
What’s best for me but I’ll let it be
Trust!
Just trust!
Just trust!
Just trust!
X2
Anyway it’s pennyweight to cry about the little league
Act like you’re tough but I know what you got underneath
(Trust!)
Like the Earth I’m built of stone like you
I get you
Boy I’m tryna tell you
That I get you,
I get you,
Get you,
get you,
get you,
get you,

Self Defense

“Six seconds is all it takes to choke someone unconscious”
(Nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a switch, got a switch, gotta stick to the plan)
Glock nine on your hip
With a switch in your hand
Bad bitch with a plan
Just tryna catch a taxi,
End up in the back seat
Smoke it turn to ashes
(Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down)
(Nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a nine on your hip and a switch in your hand,
Got a switch, got a switch, gotta stick to the plan)
X3
Might be a pacifist
Baby but that’s at my best
This self defense got you on your knees

(“As soon as I realize I am going to be attacked,
I hold my bag more firmly to my side.
I grip his wrist,
Throw his arm forwards and upwards,
And place my disengaged arm across his body.
In this position it is quite easy for me to dislocate his elbow.
Although his other arm is free,
It’s quite impossible for him to strike me.
As I merely- *thud*
As soon as I feel his arm around my neck,
I lean slightly forward.
Grip his wrist and elbow.
And by bending my knees I lower my center of gravity,
Roughly speaking my hips,
Below his center of gravity.
And by aiming sharply forward- *thud*
Notice I do not intend to break away from his grip
But by aiming well back and counting his weight to his toes
I turn my body, place his arm under mine,
And in this position it’s quite easy for me to dislocate his wrist, elbow.
I catch his ankle, place my hand between his shoulders,
And kick away his only support.
Now I’m going to give him a real throw
I’m gripped in the same manner as before,
The chap not having learned his lesson,
This time, I throw his body upwards in the form of a hoop
I lay gently on the floor, placing one foot in his tummy
He answers, in the infirmary”

I drift into it
Burning chrysalis
Leave our arms behind
For wings
(Catch my drift,
Let me take your load off)

I grip
I handle
I’m stronger than enamel
I’m riding in the Matrix
All tints
Stick shift

Control

How dare you take me for who I’ve been
Climbed over mountains for who I am
Crystal bait a planned attack
I’m not blind, not from the back
Don’t know if this evening’s going well
You’re no angel so I guess where in
Hell
I’m not looking for a man (I’m not looking for a man)
I’m always in way over my head (I’m not looking for a man)
X2
(I’m not looking for a man)
Fled the scene, leave no trace
Eat my dust, you’re disgraceful
It was never about you
I was only looking for control
X2
I was only looking for control

Waitin’
In the darkness
Mind my patience,
For the night
Winter
Keeps on draggin’
I need sunshine
To grow
I feel so much older than last year
I’m understanding my displeasure’s
Not a necessary state
Not flying through the sky just so I can
Touch the ground and cry my heart out
I feel so much older than last year
But I still got the number of my uber driver though
Imma fuck him in the back next time you play a show
Looks like you’re SHIT OUTTA LUCK without my ass
Tryna make me feel bad you make me laugh boy

Honeydew

You got me in a chokehold
You’ve got me soaking wet
I can’t explore all my options
When I’m this obsessed
You know I mastered my mind
I’m moving through time
Take me back to the future
Like, dude where’s my car?
Always bumping JT,
Cassie U & Me
Only time I feel alive
Is when I got a piece of you in me!
Drip, drip, drip
Lick my honeydew up
Hope you’re being honest love
Lick, lick, lick
Have a taste of my love
Watch you lap it up
I got two feet on the ground
But my head is in the clouds
I am never hesitant
Cause I know you’re heaven sent
Use two hands to handle
All I give
My giving is ample
Kiss the tip
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Seek shelter in you
Always gone after dark
Anyway, anyway
Lick up my honeydew

It’s not what you see
And I wrote it down
And I-
I could never understand how fast they built that
House down the block
I could never
Find enough time to set my own foundations up
To set my own foundations up
Is this how you wanna play?
Is this how you wanna really play?
I just found myself in the garden
My body stood scarless
My wings no longer flightless
Now you say you never met a girl like me
You wanna know where I’m from
Boy it ain’t that easy
I’m from the eastside and the westside too
Or from wherever you think your mind takes you to
Even when you sleep you stay awake in your dreams
Your lovely eyes have a golden sheen
You’re a beautiful man
You’re a beautiful man

Prove It

(Whoo!)
Any damn day that you want me to pull up
Baby I’m there but you're late what’s the hold up?
There is no lighting in the sun
The sky is always pink and I don’t notice when the earth shakes
You know I’m packin all up in my North Face
Isn’t what’s weighing down your pockets
Also what’s weighing down your conscience?
Ooooooo
Baby I heard you
But youuuu
OOOooo
Need to prove it now
Can you prove it?
Can you prove it after all?
(Can you prove it?)
Can you prove it?
Can you prove it?
Can you prove yourself after all?
I’m a melting iceberg
Can’t take much more heat
My mind’s a scurried blizzard
Can’t get out from underneath
If you’ve been manifesting all the things that you say
I’m not gonna play it by ear
You better prove it today

Lay my cards out
Pray to God
What I’m seeing
Isn’t a mirage
Caught you looking
Now I know
I’m your four leaf clover
And you reap what you sow
Pluck me
Root intact
Carry me
Where you need
I know you gotta have a piece of me
It’s wasted,
I’m wilted
Come fix it that’s all I hear
No sunlight
Unlucky
Is your love really sincere?
(Get, Get, Get, Get Lucky)

I’m your four leaf clover

Leave our bodies out of this
I’m already gone

I put a spell on you

Are you into it?
Can you picture it?
Leave our bodies behind
Are you feeling me?
Can you take the heat?
What’s love without lust?
It isn’t nothing
Mmmm
And I got you on the edge of your seat now
