I never wanted the same, no I never wanted the pain, no I never want to explain [Verse 1] I wake up in my lane Singing the same lines over again Got on my clothes Don’t fit the mold where I belong We meet so quietly on the street You speak so loudly on the screen Humanly you doctor all my photos Pumping volume along with the tempo The smiles, the lies, the hype, the bites, the evil eyes [Chorus] I never wanted the same (NO) I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to explain (NO) I never wanted the same, no I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to explain (NO) I never want to be [Verse 2] What a nice way to begin Needle your words in my ear again Do you have more room in your throat? My days, my days Wishing that it was a joke I don’t blame you for your ways The crumbled and unbreathing frame I don’t blame that you can’t see and Ten to one I cannot please I don’t blame you for your ways and Putting heaven in a rage I blame you for trynna model me [Chorus] I never wanted the same (NO) I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to explain (NO) I never wanted the same (NO) I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to please [Bridge] I don’t blame you for your ways The crumbled and unbreathing frame (frame) I don’t blame that you can’t see and Ten to one I cannot please (cannot please) I don’t blame you for your ways and Putting heaven in a rage I blame you for trynna model me [Chorus] I never wanted the same (NO) I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to explain (NO) I never wanted the same (NO) I never wanted the game (NO) I never wanted the pain (NO) I never want to be (NO) Umm-uh (NO) I never want to me (NO) I never want to me (NO) I never want to me (NO) (NO, NO) I never want to be (NO) The same (NO)

[Verse 1] Wanna get to know you more Beyond the kiss and compliments I adore Run my finger through your past Plunge into your eyes to see My love flash [Chorus] Oh please let me in To begin and See All the colours you bring And feel How you light everything [Verse 2] Love you when you're being glad But honestly love even so When you're sad Open up to me and see I will never judge you And think you're weak [Chorus] Oh please let me in To begin and See All the colours you bring And feel How you light everything [Bridge] It's not easy to let go But if you Face the droplets in your eyes It will show Just how beautiful you are Take a step back to reveal [Chorus] And see All the colours you bring And feel (Feel) How you light everything (Light everything) See All the colours you bring (All the colours) (All the colours) Feel (Oh oh oh oh) All the colours you bring

Stinking thinking The illness has spread Reading fear-drivin’ subtitles That’s in my head I don’t think I’m good enough (no) I’m standing without a love (oh) Feels like I cannot get lose My eyes are vomiting my blues Following the thought that I grow It’s not good for me to be Alone I’m a slave to my mind Running around all the time A misunderstood truth That puts me in a mood I’m a slave to my mind (I just need a moment) Overwhelmed by emotions Perfumed on my neck Google tells me I should meditate But my patience is tangle wreck I don’t think I’m good enough (no) I’m standing without a love (oh) Feels like I cannot get lose My eyes are vomiting my blues Following the thought that I grow It’s not good for me to be alone I’m a slave to my mind Running around all the time A misunderstood truth That puts me in a mood I’m a slave to my mind (I’m a slave to my mind) (oh) (ah) (I’m a slave to my) I’m a slave, I’m a slave (I’m a slave to my) To my mind I’m a slave to my mind Running around all the time A misunderstood truth That puts me in a mood I’m a slave to my mind I’m a slave to my mind Running around all the time A misunderstood truth That puts me in a mood I’m a slave to my mind

about

Sometimes I want to put my armor on and scream ‘NO’ at the top of my lungs. Other times I just want to stay quietly in bed because I’m a ‘Slave To My Mind’. My moods and strengths in life fluctuate. And it’s not a weakness to admit that - I’m just human.

My Debut EP ‘Lay Down’ is an open book blending jazz, soul, and R&B telling 6 stories where I’ve been forced to ‘lay down’ and succumb to love, mental health and societal pressures. It has helped define the woman I am today. I hope it also inspires others to push the boundaries of our collective internalized perceptions.
