EYG MUSIC · Words Are Powerful

Hook

Beware of the company you keep

And the words that they speak

When they round you

Beware of the thoughts in your head

Negativity can spread and surround you

Words are powerful

Yeah, words are powerful

They can build you up

Or they can damage you

Verse 1

Speaking life into my body everyday

Optimistic about the things that’s in my way

Speaking love to the ones that’s full of hate

See my future I can tell you that it’s great

Don’t stress out or lose sleep about it

It’s easy to be weak about it

Talk down like you nervous, ain’t worth it

When you think about it

Nah, man think positive

Open your mouth, talk positive

Live your life real positive

That’s how you get the most of it

Hook

Beware of the company you keep

And the words that they speak

When they round you

Beware of the thoughts in your head

Negativity can spread and surround you

Words are powerful

Yeah, words are powerful

They can build you up

Or they can damage you

Verse 2

Everyday you only striving for the best

Tell yourself you’re number one and nothing less

Block out everything that person ever said

To keep you grounded and go flying off the ledge

Just spread your wings and accomplish things

Knock out fear like it’s a boxing ring

Self-doubt can be a toxic thing

Encouragement is all you need

Got to talk like a King and Queen

Got to write out all your dreams

They look at you, deja vu

You making moves and doing your thing.

Hook

Beware of the company you keep

And the words that they speak

When they round you

Beware of the thoughts in your head

Watch what you say

Watch what you hear

Watch what you think

Watch what you fear

EYG MUSIC · NEVER QUIT

Verse 1
You been at for years I know the feeling It's like every time you jump,

Hit your head on the ceiling

And every time you fail in your heart you can feel it

The pain and the heartache

Not to count all the hours that it all takes

Given it all to something and it all breaks…down

But if you stay there

Then you won't reach those clouds

Once you believe then you kill that doubt

Feel like wow, all I needed was patience

Even when they was hating

And they ain't want you to make it

Came from bottom

But the top the goal

So every obstacle you just

Pick and roll, bump and run

They just bumping gums

Don't lose the passion

Don't lose the fun

Life is what you make it and it's only one

So if you live it to the fullest

Persevere til you’re done and

Hook

Never quit, never quit

Cause if you want it, You got it

Never quit no never quit

Cause if you want it, You got it

Never quit no never quit

Cause if you want it, You got it

Don't let nobody stop it...nooooo

Verse 2
I remember I cried over it

Pray to the sky for it

Up every night for it

Knew I would ride for it

Even though I wish it was quicker

Never would give up

Picture my daughter with a daddy

Here as a quitter

Nah, daddy a spitter

Prophet with words

Here to encourage

Speak life and watch them flourish

How could I give up on that, give up on rap

Give up on music, got too much influence

God gives his challenges

To those that can handle it

Reality and fantasy it's hard to balance it

When your dreams are bigger than the average

And the things you want you gotta have them

But they just don't appear like magic

In your heart you gotta will it to happen

Never stopping, never getting distracted

You wanted it so badly given up would be tragic

Hook

Never quit, never quit

Cause if you want it, You got it

Never quit no never quit

Cause if you want it, You got it

Never quit no never quit

Laughing at her

And that wrong path you might spin out

Or your end route could be with your passion

And you chase that and you chase that

And you chase that til you catch it

You can choose to inspire

Or you can choose to just follow

You can choose to think higher

Or you can choose to be shallow

Dive deep in that water

Take risks and swim farther

You can choose to work harder

Or you can choose to be smarter

So think about what you doing

So your next move ain't wrong

Catch this little game while I kick it

Gotta stand out to stand in, Get It?

Gotta see the difference in being different

But never keep your distance so they can witness

Gotta be a good example and they will listen

Like for instance

Every sentence that you speak you should stand by

Then you’ll win them over by a landslide, that’s right

Relate and Motivate and watch you change lives

Realize

First it starts with you

Then it moves to your crew

Then to your community

From there you build unity

It only takes one person to get about a few to see

the truth then once that’s free

You tell them to “Follow me”

EYG MUSIC · Love & Respect ******* What is the song telling you? Are you doing it? How? Why not?

Love and Respect

Hook
Before you love me

You gotta respect me baby

Before you hold me

Our hearts gotta connect baby

If you’re with me then you’re with me

And you’re not with no one else

And if you want me then accept that

I won't go for nothing else

And it's like that

Verse 1

In a relationship it’s 2 being 1

We come from two different paths

We got to learn to adjust

You got to learn to trust

I'm not the other ones

That You ran from

But never talking to me

Is not the answer

Communication is key

To unlock your heart and understand what you need

Support your hopes and dreams

Hopefully you got mine

Hopefully we can grind (means - work on something together)

Hopefully within time

We can build something

When you see me walking up, do you feel something

This is more than a crush, this the real one

I respect you never use them four letters in vain

I ain't trying to run game

You think we all come the same

We trying to open your brain

Trying to know what you think

Not just the stuff that you tweet

What you hide underneath

Cause I can open up too

But I can never love you girl

If you don’t respect you

----Hook-----

Verse 2
In a relationship you know you got to give them space

Nobody likes somebody always all up in their face

It's cool to disagree but never jump up out of place

You never want to do something that you can't erase

Just one second you can't take that back

And this all because of control you lack

It's never cool to shake up or even a smack

Or even a punch

I hope you do know that

I mean we all got issues

Never know what someone's going through

Plus we got limits

So watch out when they’re provoking you

You can talk to a counselor or a good friend

Or you can write your feelings down with your own pen

It's a lot of people sitting down tonight

Like, man, I should of walked away from that right

Cause violence never the answer

It's part of the cancer

That keeps us divided

Please love override ride it, ride it, ride it

Love override it, ride it, ride it

Give respect and you got it, got it, got it

Love override it, ride it, ride it

Give respect and you got it, got it, got it

I Will Arise (from Bullying)

Verse 1

It starts in the morning
Waking up
Dreading for this 30 minute teasing on the bus
First they start throwing things
Then come the insults
God, I know this isn’t all I was meant for
Thinking to myself as I stare out this window
Get to school and it still don't stop though
First period bell rings and the hurt grows
Couple of girls always passing notes
On the low though
Drawing funny pictures
Like that's me in the photo
Making fun how I dress
Talking ‘bout my clothes no
I don't understand why me no control no
Diary, only person I done ever told though
If had a chance I would show them
All my scars
The ones in my mind and the ones on my heart
The pillow case that’s full from the nights I cried
From all the pain I done felt deep inside
But I Will Arise, yeah I Will Arise

I just close my eyes and I Will Arise

Tomorrow, there’ll be sunshine

There'll be sunshine, there’ll be sunshine

Hook
Every day they picking on me
I get stronger every morning

Cause all it is is lies, all they tell is lies.

I don't worry, I don't worry

Cause I know it's more in life

And I Will Arise!

Verse 2
Lunch starts up but it don't stop
Not only do I eat alone
Got a lunchbox
So they got jokes
Call me ugly
And they judge me
I just need a friend
Somebody there for (to) me hug me
Get on Facebook and I swear the same thing
Somebody told me I should go and drink bleach
I don't got a plan, I don't know what I can do
Every day the same, I just want it to be new
If I had a chance I would show you all my scars
The ones in my mind and the ones on my heart
The pillow case that’s full from the nights I've cried
From all the pain I done felt deep inside
But I Will Arise, I Will Arise

Verse 1
First I didn't want to do it
My pride couldn't move it
My ego going through it
I just hide all the bruises
I disguised my true feelings
But then I came to see
That the more I was stubborn
Man the more it affected me
Now I'm holding on and can't let go
What you did still on my soul
You said sorry
You said your peace
But my anger won't let me sleep
Said that I forgave you but that was talk
And you can have that cheap
You hit me deep
Like a home run
Got me on one
Got me on one

Forgive and forget
Don't live in regret
I know I did wrong
I know you upset
This was a test
To see where I’m at
Mature in my steps
I'm not looking back
Sometimes we lack
The empathy simply
Won’t blame my act on anyone else but me
Unconsciously my mental caught up with me
Not sleeping comfortably
Soul had a enough of me
Man it’s been rough for me
Been missing my friend
Been missing your company
I committed a sin
Forgiveness is what I need
Sorry is tough for me
Saying it openly
‘Til I forgave myself abundantly
Then I got everything else up under me

Then I got everything else up under me

Know when to apologize

Money

EYG MUSIC · Money

Hook 1
I make money
Money don't make me

Hook 2

It can be the root of evil
Or help motivate your people
Watch how they greet you
And watch how they treat you (repeat)

Verse 1

Money, money, money, money, money make the world go around
So while you on this earth for what it's worth you gotta get it now
For you your family your legacy
So then it's spreads around
And you can be in better situations than you are in now

Verse 2

Land over the whole state
Ain't worried bout having 10 cars
Businesses in my own name
That’s the type of money we trying to floss
Still rocking my gold ring
Cause Kings and Queens
That's who we are
And when you get it you don't change
You a solid 100 stay who you are

Hook 1

I make money
Money don't make me (3x)

Let’s get money

I make money
Money don't make me (3x)

Verse 3
Money don't grow on the trees you gotta leave your house to get it
Then you stack it up until the bank becomes a weekly visit
Stocks and bonds and credit cards and presidents that fold up nice
Get the bag and never brag they hate to see you winning, right?

Hook 2

It can be the root of evil
Or help motivate your people
Watch how they greet you
And watch how they treat you (repeat)

I make money
Money don't make me (3x)

Let’s get money

I make money
Money don't make me (3x)

thankful

EYG MUSIC · Thankful

Hook:
I’m so Grateful, Grateful.

Ups and downs I remain Thankful.

Why stress. Why stress.

Even at my worst. I'm so blessed.

Verse 1 (The Complaint):

Digging in my pockets
In my wallet like I dropped it.
Looking in my closet
Kinda mad cause I don't got it
Hopping on the train ain't the same like driving
I complain I complain I complain
I'm the pilot

Verse 2 (The Response: Don’t Complain):

You might not have the best
But you are the best
And once you learn that
You done moved from checkers to chess
Head high with your chest up
Cause you blessed up
Like you sneezed a hundred times on the school bus

Hook:

So Grateful, man I'm so Grateful.

Even through my ups and downs

I remain Thankful.

Why stress. Why stress.

Even at my worst. I'm so blessed. (repeat)

Verse 3:
No matter what happened yesterday

I'm waking up to new air
A blessing
Cause I know people dead whose time is

Through here
Plus you got school here- a luxury
Some countries don't even got the budget

So there’s no books for the kids to read
Your parents and guardians

You should always hold.

If you got them in your life it's gold
Please don't be sold
On materialistic happiness
It's not a magic trick
You got to practice it
Thankfulness - an adjective

Hook:

So Grateful, man I'm so Grateful.

Even through my ups and downs I remain Thankful.

Why stress. Why stress.

Even at my worst. I'm so blessed. (repeat)

You gotta realize what you got

I’m sure it’s more than someone else.

And if you feel you by yourself

I know that He is here to help you.

So blessed, so blessed, so blessed, cause you so blessed,

you so blessed, you so blessed, you so blessed, you so blessed

I'm so Grateful, man I'm so Grateful.

Even through my ups and downs I remain Thankful.

Why stress. Why stress.

Even at my worst. I'm so blessed.

This Is Love

EYG MUSIC · This Is Love

Verse 1a (the questions)
Think you in Love? 

Let's see 

Do you care about their well being? 

Do you care about their big dreams? 

Or just worried about one thing? 

Do you go out your way to help?

Can you step out of yourself?

Or do you just want what's under their belt?

Verse 1b (this is real love)

It's more than them feelings you felt 

It's your deep heart 

I know you call um sweetheart 

But are you playing your sweet part

Listening when she talk

His ride if he walk 

Apologize when it's your fault 

Even when it's a seesaw 

If you love them then you resolve

Hook

This is Love 

Love love love love love love love

This is Love 

Love love love love love love love

Love is patient 

Love is kind 

If you love me 

Show me why 

Don’t just tell me 

Could be lies 

Love is patient 

Love is kind

Verse 2
It's being a real friend 

Its deeper than that soft skin 

That superficial offering 

Do you like them, for just them 

Or maybe it's their status 

Doesn't mean they're the baddest 

Means when they're the saddest 

You wipe their tears away with your fabric 

Its tragic when someone think they got love

But it's really lust 

And it's no trust 

But it's no rush 

Take your time 

Get to know their heart and mind 

You'll know when you read the signs 

If it's true or if you have to find something new

Just make sure that they into you

Hook

This is Love 

Love love love love love love love

This is Love 

Love love love love love love love

Love is patient 

Love is kind 

If you love me 

Show me why 

Don’t just tell me 

Could be lies 

Love is patient 

Love is kind

Sexual Harassment

EYG MUSIC · Sexual Harassment

Wish they see me for me, me for me
Wish they see me for me, just me

But they…

Verse 1:

See a reflection of a girl’s depression
From boys too concerned about impressing

And not respecting
I've been blessed with this blessed curse
It always hurts
It's like they eyes don't connect with hers
Rather the skirts
I've been touched in different ways through the thirst
Second and third
So bad I’ve been conditioned not to flirt
What is it worth?
When I cross the street they just stop and blurt
I can hear them now
Aye baby with the body
Come let me feel it now

Hook:

Just see me for me, me for me
Wish they see me for me
The real me
And I know this feeling just ain't right
Wanna be free just to live my life
Without you seeing me for my body

Verse 2:
They can’t.

They just see me like a woman on TV/IG naked or bikini
I know -- you’re men and you’re so visual
But don't be typical
And make it all about my physical
Cause I can’t ---

Put a picture up without someone saying something
So disgusting, think it's nothing
Our society is something
When we neglect and don't correct
We just go hide from it
Or we close eyes, won't we

Hook:

Just see me for me, me for me
Wish they see me for me
The real me
And I know this feeling just ain't right
Wanna be free just to live my life
Without you seeing me for my body

The real me the real me (I deserve more)
The real me the real me (Cause I was made for more)
Just see me inwardly

The real me the real me

The real me the real me (Cause I was made for more)
The real me the real me (I deserve more)

Just see me inwardly (I deserve more)

The real me (I deserve more) the real me

Might be from the hood

EYG MUSIC · Might Be From The Hood

Hook
Might from the hood

Or across the tracks

Not gonna hold you back

Not gonna hold me back

What’s inside of me

Is a heart of gold

Gotta let you know

Verse 1

Outta that concrete I rose
All I wanted to do was drive a Rolls
Cause they said where I'm from
Man them things like UFO'S
And I'm an alien in places

At least on the faces when it shows
Man I show you true ambition
You surprised that I got goals
And it got a love that can't compare
Even on them blocks that got despair
So just imagine the cross you bear
When they try to box you in a square
Tell me what you see up in the mirror
When you look, search for the truth
Then you'll see your city, you,
Your foundation and your roots

Hook

Might from the hood

Or across the tracks

Not gonna hold you back

Not gonna hold me back

What’s inside of me

Is a heart of gold

Gotta let you know

Verse 2
I can say the place that I rest at
Showed me how to work hard, be the best at
You should probably get close
Try catch that
Man I know you think the hood is a setback
That's to my advantage when you think that
We cut big trees with a small ax
And we tackle everything at the kneecaps
Just watch for the cars with the seat back

No matter what we looking up at the same sky
Meaning ain't no limits is the truth for you and I
Don't gotta front,

Show where you from, go have some pride
Cause the world needs you, needs you, no disguise

You the marker
That mean give them smarts, give them swagger
Rock star be the hood Mick Jagger
Go celebrate, man let them flag you
I mean the obstacles is nothing when you fear none
And my mind got plenty bullets, don't need a real gun

I just wanna live --- yeah
Do stuff I never did --- yeah
See stuff I never saw --- yeah
Ain't trying to rob your mall

Just know I want it all
Cause where I'm from is hard

Hook

Might from the hood

Or across the tracks

Not gonna hold you back

Not gonna hold me back

What’s inside of me

Is a heart of gold

Gotta let you know

Why Not You?!

EYG MUSIC · Why Not You?

Verse 1

Should have lost her mind

All of that crying

Her dad was killed (Heart Failure)

When she was nine

Raised by her mom up in the Bronx

It was a lot to grow up with up in the times

Where’s racists, discrimination

She broke out decoded the Matrix

With patience, hard work and dedication

And the faith of a mustard (seed)

A Supreme Court Justice

Verse 2

He was homeless, but wasn’t hopeless

He was broke broke, but wasn’t broken

His mind had treasures golden

All he had to do was unfold them

Make computers, from throw-aways

Then he taught himself how to code data

Was a college major who loved to rap

But he also loved the field of tech

So he made songs late late late night

Til he got everyone just just right

In the day time made Google the trap

Meaning that he made money off the tech

And he sent those songs all over the map

And he never gave up man that’s a fact

Hook

It could be you

Nothing special you got what they got too

You can rise, you can fly

Be great too

Why not you, why not you, true

It could be you

Verse 3

He from the “D” Town

With dark clouds round

He was always told he would be nothing

But he turned out to really be something

Earned them scholarships

For over 3 something

Verse 4

He from Compton

And always wanted to change

And he didn’t want the system, ever to blame

Failed 46 times and he finally did it.

Became a lawyer and completed the mission

Verse 5

She from NY

The project side

When it’s dark outside

Man them bullets fly

Made up her mind

Her actions aligned

Then she bossed up

CEO time

Verse 6

He from Crenshaw

Got jumped in yall

Got locked up

Then he turned to music

And he turned music into a business

Tried to educate

Give his people some wisdom

So that means you got a chance now

Just believe in yourself now

If you really want to stand out

You can’t worry about the in-crowd

Just gotta keep your head down

And focus on your work

And if you feel alone

You shouldn’t, cause you wasn’t first

So that means you got a chance now

And don’t you feel alone
