Assertive

Look at what you made me do
Finally, I’m leaving you
Had to keep to my promise
This isn’t what I wanted
But look now, I found out
You pushed me so far
There’s the line that you crossed out
D-d-d-de-delayed this bit
Now I’m F-F-F-Fu-frail in bits
Now look at me
Look at me beggin you, for what I need
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to be
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to leave
(You’ve) messed this up again
Leaving all my friends
To wonder what I’m doing with you
And I’m asking the same damn thing
(Look) I’m tired, and so unheard
No words of mine seem to make it work
Now look at me
Look at me beggin you, for what I need
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to be
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to leave
Happy ever after has an after
The affects of being deep open this problem, a disaster
Till the aftermaths of what if’s
We’re avoiding hide you’ve mastered how to run and hide
Leaving all of this aftermath to me cuz that’s all that
you’re after
Me being the strong one
Me being the dependant and now you’ve worn off all my colours
Now I’m dull and tired of pretending
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to be
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive,
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to leave
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to be
I told you if you weren’t that person
Being assertive,
When I need yah
I’m not wanted
I needed you to leave

Pressure

You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure
Feeling the pressure on me,
Making me do, things that I would, faster than I would do it,
And that don’t mean I wouldn’t do it, depends on if I’m in the mood,
Just let me decide my own views,
And trust that the view, including you, ends up the way you want it,
And that’ll mean I wouldn’t want it,
Don’t make me dare have to prove,
You, make sure that your list of wants for me,
Make sure that your expectation matches who I be,
(Or I’ll be) Feeling like the kettle dun’ reached the peak,
Feeling like you’re asking more than I could be,
If you do, expect what’ll come to you
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t say it well,
Say it out cuz I can tell,
Cuz all your friends and family,
Putting all that pressure on me,
I gotta suppress now,
All that is hood of me,
Gotta say Grace now,
And show only good in me,
I can be curse like the worst homie,
Dandelion near the dirt,
Near the church is me,
You, make a list of all your wants from me,
Make sure that your expectation matches who I be,
(Or I’ll be) Feeling like the kettle dun’ reached the peak,
Feeling like you’re asking more than I could be,
If you you you you you, expect what’ll come to you
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
—
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby

Daddy time
04:59
|

All I need is daddy time
Just a bit more daddy time
All I need is daddy time
Listen
You left when I was little
Such a simple little girl
Only wanted some more daddy time
Protection from this world
Since it got a little colder
I kept reaching for your coat
You shrugged me off to see your Caroline
But mommy didn’t know
You were leaving us for her
And for me, I’m inconvenient
A stress to find a place within
A new place you were resting in
A broken bird to carry
And an extra mouth to feed
So you starved me of this daddy time
The earliest thing I believed...
In being next to you
The memory of you smiling as I
Stumble in the room
Very first steps I took to you
And my first breath out of the womb
You cried out to the heavens
Promised that you’d keep me safe
And you were thankful of this blessing of
4 little white lies you told,
That you always love me
Never ever leave me, No
My life meant the world to you
That I was your everything
But not more than her wedding ring
All I need is daddy time
Just a bit more daddy time
All I need is daddy time
Listen
Father’s Day, I guess it’s ‘98
Making cards in class
Teachers trying not to spark a conversation that brings back
The reminder that my gift is silly
No one to give to
No idea of where you are right now
But deep inside I knew
No, you probably don’t miss me
And, oh, why would you care
Heard your wife has some kiddies
You’re being father to them
I’m hysterical, I go home crying again
Jealous of my own sisters
Their daddy visits again
My oldest sister had to hold me
Told me keep my head up
One day your father will own up
To all the that he’s done
1 more little lie unfolds
My father has a son I’m not allowed to get to know
He’s far away cuz daddy dear
He didn’t wanna take the role
And I’m asking for an answer
But the truth never gets told
One day your father will reply
To all the things that you want
One day your father will reply
To all the things that you want
All I need is daddy time
Just a bit more daddy time
All I need is daddy time
Listen
Verse 3, you probably think I found a solution
No more crying nights for daddy, no more living delusional
See, now I can give birth to my own
And raise them with love
Tell them that they’re never alone
Mommy is here
I’ll teach them of the meanings of life
Warn them of the consequences telling big old white lies
Your grandfather was so great
but he’s not here to reply
No, I won’t let them live with hate
Just cause he made mommy cry
Not passing tears through inheritance
No more fears for neglectfulness
They will rise like the Phoenix’s,
Be called greatness and elegance
Will surpass my own legacy
And make little me smile
It’s the perfect conclusion
For this most unwanted child
Dad, this is my last cry out
If you hear this message
I called to talk not shout
I want a resolution, but you have to hear me out
Not listen to reply but hear the words from out my mouth I’m asking
Dad, I tried to call
If you could just pick up

My sly cry
04:14
|

See I don't feel very special
To my family or my friends
See half of them don't dare support me
Or even dare try to pretend
See I've tried so hard to fit in but I guess I'm just one of them
Who'll have to work hard to be noticed
Most of you will understand
See I don't feel very supported
And I feel like it's a shame
It took me 3 years to get recorded
Still in progress, on it's way
Please don't tell me All In Time My Love
Cuz my time was here from day
And as I'm trying as I'm crying
Most of you all can relate
See I don't feel very special
To my family or my friends
See half of them don't dare support me
Or even dare try to pretend
See I've tried so hard to fit in but I guess I'm just one of them
Who'll have to work hard to be noticed
Most of you will understand
I remember that one day
My daddy said - Go and give up
Said this music thing was stupid
And I can't make it to the top
I felt like a disappointment
Felt like no one wish luck
And as I'm trying, as I'm crying
Most of you all can relate
See I don't feel very special
To my family or my friends
See half of them don't dare support me
Or even dare try to pretend
See I've tried so hard to fit in but I guess I'm just one of them
Who'll have to work hard to be noticed
Most of you will understand
I wish my mother came to one of my performances
And saw how much the people sing
Along to what her daughter writ
I wish my hommies from school came and showed love at my gigs
Stopped being cold and bothered like
My Facebook page and all that stuff
I wish that other artists supported other kinds of artists
Stopped being snobs and on high horses
Stopped begging fame to get them noticed
I wish that you right there would take a minute just to spare
Don't give me facts or give me air
This space is left for you right there
Cuz I'm trying hard to be
The best that I could possibly
So could you bother hearing me
So could you bother hearing me
See I don't feel very special
To my family or my friends
See half of them don't dare support me
Or even dare try to pretend
See I've tried so hard to fit in, but I guess I'm just one of them
Who'll have to work hard to be noticed
Most of you will understand

Thank you

Dear Universe - thank you for your blessings
Dear conscious mind - thank you for your questions
Dear inhibitions - thank you for not holding me back from being free
I want to care and love and be in peace
Dear liars - thank you for your absence
Dear truth - thank you for your passion and compassion
Dear temptation - thank you for the mask that oh once blinded me
From care and love and warmth and being free
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do
I am finally smiling for once
Once the blessings have come my way
I've encouraged my blessings to come
And I finally mean it too
To - to you
And the bad times you don't get a look in
You were never invited to stay
You can throw all my bottled flaws & fears
You can finally dash them away
Dash them away
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do

Parts of me's uncomfortable
The parts that finds it hard to be so vulnerable
Showing you all my scars, the ones thats come before
Latest one, it's alarming that I weren't the cause
Always thought that my helmet was such a silly purchase
Never knew at that moment I'd really need its purpose
Always thought that my safety was such a given
Til I had found a limit
Pushed me right to the edge and I'd given mine a decision
Stay laying, start praying
Lord - I'm in a situation
And now I realise I wanna live
Keep saying, still praying
Hoping for another day out than
This one, this time - no I wanna live
So many times I had cried and asked for my life to end
But in the end
Now I know how close to I can be to get what I really wanted
And now I realise I gotta live
I wanna live
I need to watch the words I speak
They almost brought me to my knees
Gotta stand strong on my two feet
I wanna live
I need to watch the words I speak
They almost led me to defeat
Yeah I was falling, falling
Closer than I can imagine
All them highlights of life oh yes, they really happen
Images of them crying faces
Seeing posters of my smiling face and
Asking for eulogies about the way I should of made it
Heart is beating, I can't believe the reapers coming
All of a sudden frame of a bird - face of a woman
Comes and pulls me back to my limbs
Help me from my collision
Calls out for helping hand to
Give me a chance to st-t-t-ay
Stay laying, start praying
Lord - I'm in a situation
And now I realise I wanna live
Keep saying, still praying
Hoping for another day out than
This one, this time - no I wanna live
So many times I had cried and asked for my life to end
But in the end
Now I know how close to I can be to get what I really wanted
And now I realise I gotta live
I wanna live
I need to watch the words I speak
They almost brought me to my knees
Gotta stand strong on my two feet
I wanna live
I need to watch the words I speak
They almost led me to defeat
Yeah I was falling, falling
Your words are your worth
Wishing you a long existence
Wishing you a long existence
Your words are your worth
Wishing you a long existence
Your words are your worth
Your words are your worth
Wishing you a long existence
Wishing you a long existence
Your words are your worth
Wishing you a long existence
Your words are your worth
Wishing you a long existence
Wishing you a long existence
