Alright ft Theo Croker

We stayed on the phone for an hour or something,
My father spoke softly
And told me that I'm doing just fine, well alright.
Missed the bus by a second or two,
I'd usually screw
But today, it's ok
I'm alright
I'm alright
And that's the most I have said in a while,
With a genuine smile
Training the mind got me feeling so light
I ain't even trying to get fake deep
Just been more mindful of what I release
Oh, there's power in the tongue,
Power in the tongue

Table For One
06:34
|

|
My baby said he wants to be free
But where does that leave me?
Tried rubbing crystals and singing chants
Ways I thought I could channel his heart
But it just won't work for me
No more
On and off, we're on and off
It's a mess
Losing track of who this round
Belongs to now
If I tell the truth
I'm holding you so I don't have to say
Every night and day..
I'll have a table for one
Deepak said detachment is the key
To let go of who you used to be
Still someone I vibrate on your wave
I try to reprogram my mind
But there's no change
But it just won't work for me
No more
On and off, we're on and off
It's a mess
Losing track of who this round
Belongs to now
If I tell the truth
I'm holding you so I don't have to say
Every night and day..
I'll have a table for one

How Long 'Til We're Home
03:27
|
|||
|
Breaking news at 6pm
disappointed by government
rich get richer as poor ones weep
same depiction on every screen
And it's like the whole world
is running away from the burn
Tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
lonely too long
tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
I'm losing hope
Conspiracies by theorists
don't believe media sources
live in fear that's what they want from ya,
taught to hate ourselves and others
And it's like the people
are running straight into the hole.
Tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
lonely too long
tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
I'm losing hope.

Song For Bobby

You have blocked me in this place
I can't get out
But I refuse to let go
I used to know you
It's a shame it's different now
The memories still so bold
Mmm hmm...
Going through these changes
Writing new narratives
That seep themselves into my soul
And I feel like they know
What it's like to miss you
Lie at night and kiss you
With closed eyes dried by your worthy hands
Raindrops, minimal light, and Etta James
Always the cure when you leave
You show up out the blue, I cloud you with green
This distant thing still haunts me
Mmm hmm..
Going through these changes
Writing new narratives
That seep themselves into my soul
And I feel like they know
What it's like to miss you
Lie at night and kiss you
With closed eyes dried by your worthy hands
Going through these changes
Writing new narratives
That seep themselves into my soul
And I feel like they know
What it's like to miss you
Lie at night and kiss you
With closed eyes dried by your worthy hands

Girls don't always sing about boys
What if I wanna talk about suffering,
In the earth
the ocean plastic happenings?
Would anybody listen at all
if i don't parade in a bra
only to get my point across
I don't always think about boys
but I hear love is the only thing worth fighting for
as well as loving the same sex
sanitary kits for homelessness
Grenfell, mental health for all
(Mental health for all)
We'll go to school and get married and start a family
and they'll go to school and get married and start a family
the cycle continues,
when we don't question what we're into
We'll go to school and get married and start a family
and they'll go to school and get married and start a family
the cycle continues,
when we don't question what we're into
Girl's don't always sing about boys
even though it's what sells and what's relatable
I mean, who doesn't wanna cry?
To a song about getting your heart broke
cos she'll sing all the words that you never spoke
or couldn't
I can't always think about boys
Cos I've been reading about:
air pollution, sustainable fashion,
learnt behaviours, why it all happens
so I guess, I'll raise the issues
with a nice beat behind me
singing it sweet so you'll still buy me
as I rethink the norm like
We'll go to school and get married and start a family
and they'll go to school and get married and start a family
the cycle continues,
when we don't question what we're into
Girl's don't always sing about boys
even though it's what sells and what's relatable
I mean, who doesn't wanna cry?
To a song about getting your heart broke
cos she'll sing all the words that you never spoke
or couldn't

In The Morning
03:55
|

Aunt Lisa said you can't come around here no more
When we broke the bed she felt disrespected and all
Confused
Said would I ever do that to you?
And in return I feel like I fool
Now I walk for days with nowhere to rest my head
Vape in my mouth but got a feeling that it might be dead
There's no smoke
As I reach in my pocket for my phone,
There's no texts, there's no missed calls
In the morning we can start
We can start over, again
Reading about trauma
In our daughters
Has got me shook
I got things to learn,
I got fears to burn
til then I won't cook,
a bun in my oven when I wanna get wet
No matter how my guy protests
On the third day, we shall rise again
And come back around
Been here before, kinda sick of myself
But also quite proud
It's hard, being at the mercy of man
And dealing my cards with my wrong hand
In the morning we can start
We can start over, again
In the morning we can start
We can start over, again

I
DON'T
EVER
WANNA

THAT
AGAIN
I don't ever
Wanna feel it
Ever feel it again

Science
03:37

I swim with the unknown
Soaked in love yet I roam
Into another world where life has new meaning
I'm free to float up higher higher right through the ceiling with you
There's a time when we flew outside of our bodies
Dressed in light beams
To centre highly
The love you poured out for me
Came back to human form
Then danced the night away
Remember the blue Cadillac
That fit so nicely,
Playing tunes made to woo
And silence the science formed between us as I woke
As I woke
As I woke
My dreams don't have room for hope
As I woke
As I woke
Even my dreams don't have room for hope
I cried in Igbo
Don't even speak my mother tongue
But everyone knows, we cry in the same language
It's strangely beautiful
You don't feel so small
I, had a time when my tears took shape in the ground
And built themselves up,
I could tell love personified stared me down
The water turned to ice,
The stares all that remained
Now each sleep I revisit there
And this scene here replays
Never moved, left me clueless
Fighting the science formed between us as I woke
As I woke
As I woke
My dreams don't have room for hope
As I woke
As I woke
Even my dreams don't have room for hope

Tonight I'm Drowning
03:31
|
|||
|
Although we seem to have come to an end
Wish you'd still treat me like a friend
We move like lovers in the night
Our shadows play by candlelight
And oh, my solitude blues
Are pining, pining over you
My legs, open
Missing you comes in waves
Tonight I'm drowning
To say your name without tasting
To hear his words but not face him
To wear a frown as the sun sets
These are the things I most regret
And oh, my solitude blues
Are pining, pining over you
My legs, open
Missing you comes in waves
Tonight I'm drowning

Give A Little
04:03
|

|
Threw a lock of my hair in
The ocean
To give an offering
Signed a deal I settled for
Insecure
Now I'm feeling the sting
Where we go, we don't know
Just tryna stay on our path
I've been here before
Yet still end up on my arse
But something's got to give a little
Give a little, I know
Yeah something's got to give a little
Give a little, I'm sure
Somebody told me that the prize is in heaven
But what about living today?
Do I have to die for some peace,
Or a little bit of extra empathy
Joni said You don't know what you got
Til it goes away
Where we go, we don't know
Just trying to stay afloat
I been here before
Should know better but I don't
But something's got to give a little
Give a little, I know
Yeah something's got to give a little
Give a little, I'm sure

For Those Who Left
01:57
|

|
After all you
Put me through I
Guess I'll turn it around
You left your mark then
Blew the spark but I
Found my way somehow
And I always believed I was strong
Living like it's golden word to Jill
And walking like I'm chosen always heals
Well now that you've gone
Don't come back
Don't come back
And now that you've gone
Don't come back
Don't come back

Threw a lock of my hair in
The ocean
To give an offering
Signed a deal I settled for
Insecure
Now I'm feeling the sting
Where we go, we don't know
Just tryna stay on our path
I've been here before
Yet still end up on my arse
Chorus
But something's got to give a little
Give a little, I know
Yeah something's got to give a little
Give a little, I'm sure
Whats there to pray for
How bad your life is
Search for a reason
Something to die for
I know it's going to give in a little
Stuck in the middle
Never been simple.
When you're just tryna give and be fulfilled and tryna live right
And nothing in your path is tryna give way
And you wake up every morning tryna get by
And you're tired of just asking
Where we go
It's just hard to know, when it feels like hell on your own.
I been here before
Should know better but I don't
But something's got to give a little
Give a little, I know
Yeah something's got to give a little
Give a little, I'm sure

Breaking news at 6pm
disappointed by government
rich get richer as poor ones weep
same depiction on every screen
And it's like the whole world
is running away from the burn
Tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
lonely too long
tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
I'm losing hope
We ain't known nothing more evident
Look at the evidence
Ordinarily deh deh
Right now I cant stand the pressure
Unsettling lack of deference
Look at the grey
I'll take the method from the madness
If you just respect my name
Respect my brothers when you let em in
Respect my pops
Respect the ends
Respect the blocks
Respect the levs
Respect the joog
Fob in pocket, praying better things
I pray I pray
I pray I reap beneath my losses
Pray I pattern up my days
I was there where them roads part
Back road again, waiting for the day
Inna babylonia I caught my first chance
To bun the devil, smog breaking every chain
Dopamine
Don't deal with me here the summers cold man
Oh to be
Tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
lonely too long
tell me how long 'til it feels like we're home?
I'm losing hope
