You Are Made of Magic

Verse 1:
Rich like the soil
That makes things grow
Smooth like the oil
It makes things flow
Deep like the wood
Adorning fruit
Slick like the sand
Will always find its
Own way through
Strong like the gold
Fresh from the fire
Hard to destroy
Soul made of diamonds
Never expire like the honey
Because with time our sweetness tends
To crystallize, reflect our light
Need I remind you
Chorus:
You are made of magic (2x)
You are made
Of something they can’t take
Verse 2:
We are the smoke they never thought would turn to a flame
We got eclectic current
Running through copper veins
They can’t escape
What makes us great
Will never change
How I adore the many shades
Of melanin we make
Our heritage is heaven sent
We give the gift of our presence
In Present tense
Won’t you see that
Chorus:
We are made of magic (2x)
We are made
Of something they can’t take
Something they can’t break
Something they can’t replace
Something they can’t break
Something they can’t replace
Something they can’t break
Something they can’t replace
Something they can’t break
Something they can’t replace
Rap:
You are not an accident
You got a custom fingerprint
Your worthiness is evident
You make the struggle seem
So effortless
You make walking through the mire
Look elegant
And it’s been this way for centuries
But see, they still don’t seem to get
That your holy brown body will never be
The Wasted property of man
They can do all they can
To study our minds
The workmanship of our hands
Our curvature is a learning curve
They’ll never grasp
It’s in the way we dance
The way we ride a beat
They’ll never know our walk
How we trample defeat
Like a significant skin color advisory
Our blackness is not a threat to your life or your legacy
Our origin is of royalty
Our propensity to rise
From the ashes remastered
Is no surprise
Confusion in their eyes
It’s no optical illusion
We are a people that’s destined
To move with
Style and grace
No matter what we face
This is the kind of magic
We make

Silk

V1:
These wounds are ancient
I just keep breaking them open
While I keep trading
Places with who I used to be
Chorus:
A thread so fine and soft yet strong
A lustrous silk you made in me
A question begs why do I still not
View myself as royalty?
Verse 2:
These wounds ain't fading
They are the same age as me
Instead of waiting
I just keep chasing empty things
But you see my identity so clearly
Chorus 2:
A thread so fine and soft yet strong
A lustrous silk I still can't see
Beyond the surface
I'm a purposed product of the most high King
A thread so fine and soft yet strong
A lustrous silk you made in me
A question begs why do I still not
View myself as royalty?
Bridge: 2x
Some days I don't wanna go outside
It's much safer to run and hide
I pray all of these feelings die
Keep me from flying, keep me crying out
Verse 3:
These wounds are changing
Laid at the foot of your throne
Here for your taking
Lord bathe each one in pure gold
Let your sweet healing unfold
Come let your glory restore
I've seen a glimpse I want more
Now and forever I'm yours

Stay True

Verse 1:
This has
Always been me, I came with everything I need
It’s my responsibility to embrace who I am fully
Pre-chorus:
I love who I love whenever the right love shows up don’t you see?
Masculine or feminine or in between, I have no set plan and that’s the
beauty...
Chorus:
You don’t have to choose all you have to do is stay true
Listen close I hope you know that it’s ok to be you
When you are in doubt, you deserve the room to figure out
Who you really are, will show up when you trust in your heart
Verse 2:
Now trust me this road
Will not be a cake walk, no
You will have to learn slow, love yourself and don’t let go
Pre-chorus:
Baby you will love who you love whenever the right love shows up don’t
you see?
Masculine or feminine or in between you don’t need a plan and that’s the
beauty
Chorus:
You don’t have to choose all you have to do is stay true
Listen close I hope you know that it’s ok to be you
When you are in doubt, you deserve the room to figure out
Who you really are, will show up when you trust in your heart
Rap:
I’m into
Kings
I’m into Queens
And all of the royalty in between
Not so caught up in the parts
That are private
More interested in the heart that’s
Beating inside them
Whatever it is that makes their soul
Come alive is
Where my mind is
And I’m fine with
Never being forced to
Pick a side when
I tend to straddle the fence
And there’s no pretense
In my pre-fer-ence
Cause it’s my right
To like what I like
To love who I love
And be set free
From this moment, til eternity
It’s my pro-rog-ga-tive
To live and let live and
Let the rest be
So live and let live and
Let me be me

Verse 1:
I got a ticket to somewhere
Standing in nowhere's line
Better refocus and catch the right plane
On time
Hope I'm not running too far behind
Do myself a disservice
watching their highlight reels
Always more to the story
Whatever's revealed
I still believe all of my dreams
Will make room for me
Chorus:
Suddenly
The imagery reel's overflowing
With every positive possibility and color
Taking on the wave
And I can't wait 'till I celebrate
In the moment
Verse 2:
What happens to a dream
When it's left alone?
Will it ever have the chance to grow?
I don't know
Won't be waiting 'round here to see
I want this dream to become a reality
Vamp:
This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me
That still need feeding
This is for the option
Going wherever your art
Takes you to
This is for the times when
No one else believes but you
This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me
That still need feeding
This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me
Chasing after that dream
This is the sign
You've been waiting on
So take it and grind

Wing

Verse 1:
The clouds I’ve drowned in
Led me to this time
I need more than a wing
Before I fly
The treasure that you left me
Is inside
The chrysalis has my name
Written on it
I can’t distort it
I can’t ignore it
Wanna avert my eyes
But I can’t afford it
Pre-chorus:
Your voice calls to me
A deep memory
Chorus:
You have all you need
You’re already free
Verse 2:
This mentality that I’m broken
Has only made it harder
To keep my heart open
So many times
I choose to dive
When I could be revived
If I’d simply decide
To swallow pride and seek
Your eyes
But this time
It won’t be the same
At least that’s what I say
Pre-chorus 2:
Your song over me
A sweet melody
Chorus:
You have all you need
You’re already free
Bridge:
Remember now the truth
Is in your hands to choose
The wing you thought you lost
Has been waiting for you
A muscle long forgotten
Will break past the surface
If you release your unbelief
You’ll find your cour-rage
Chorus:
You have all you need
You’re already free
Vamp:
I know that you're scared
Still your time to fly
Don't feel prepared
Still your time to shine
There's room for you
There's still room for you to fly

His Promise

Intro:
It's coming in
Flying past all doubt
Here and now
It's coming in
Through a stream of light
From your skies
It's coming through a direct vein
On its way just to bloom
In a sacred place
It will echo
Verse 1:
What a gift for me to hold
All the promises you wrote
Inside me
What a gift for me to know
In your arms is where I'm whole
Completely
What a gift for me to hold
All the promises you wrote
Inside me
What a gift for me to know
In your arms is where I'm whole
Where I'm home
Chorus:
I'm at home, I'm at home
In your arms
There's no other name I will call on
Verse 2:
Voices around me, inside me
Telling me to lose faith already
Been holding on by a thread
Might as well let go
Stop putting your hope in it
There's something potent
About what you said
You've made me conquerer
Over darkness
You who made the work in me
You'll finish what you started
Chorus 2:
I'm at home, I'm at home
In your arms
There's no other name I will call on
There's no other name, there's no other name
There's no other name
Chorus 3:
It's coming in
Flying past all doubt
It's coming in
Through a stream of light
It's coming through a direct vein
On its way just to bloom
It will echo
Outro:
I wanna be where you are Jesus
You can have all my heart Jesus
You gave me a new start Jesus
We'll never be apart Jesus
You have taken my scars Jesus
Returned them to me as art Jesus
You heal everything marred Jesus
You are never too far
I can see your promise coming through the distance
