1 WITNESS If I lost it all today, would you stay? Could my love be enough to stimulate? If shit hit the fan, grenades got thrown Would you still show, oh? Could you go down with me to the mat? Could we get back up and eventually laugh? Roll eyes at highs, cheers in the lows and stay in the flow, o-o-o

W ‘Cause I, I only got this life And I ain’t got the time, no Not to get it right, oh

(CHORUS) We’re all just looking for connection Yeah, we all want to be seen I’m looking for someone who speaks my language Someone to ride this ride with me Can I get a witness? (Witness) Will you be my witness? (Witness) I’m just looking for a witness in all of this Looking for a witness to get me through this When you tell me everything, and there’s no holes You can scroll through anything, you’ve got the codes Nothing to hide, it’s all in their eyes And we just know, o-o-o ‘Cause I, I only got this life And I ain’t got the time, no Not to get it right,oh (CHORUS)

Will you be my witness? Could you be the one that speaks for me? Will you be my witness? (CHORUS)

2 HEY HEY HEY

A big beautiful brain with a pretty face, yeah A babydoll with a briefcase, yeah A hot little hurricane ‘Cause I’m feminine and soft but I’m still a boss, yeah Red lipstick but still so raw, yeah Marilyn Monroe in a monster truck ‘Cause I can be zen and I can be the storm, yeah Smell like a rose and I pierce like a thorn, yeah Karate chopping the clichés and norms all in a dress (CHORUS)

3 ROULETTE

I’m uptight Playing by the rules in this game of life 365 days on the grind Something’s stirring, I might need to unwind Then, there’s you Texting me a little bubble of trouble I’ve tried to ignore these thoughts that rumble I think I’m bored of being so careful Big city lights Got me flirting with fire


Tonight I’mma let my hair down Have a few rounds and just let go

And I’m a courtside killer queen And you will kiss the ring You best believe

(CHORUS)

So keep calm, honey, I’ma stick around For more than a minute, get used to it Funny my name keeps comin’ outcho mouth ‘Cause I stay winning Lay ‘em up like

Like roulette, ooh-ooh Wanna close my eyes and roll it with you Like roulette, ooh-ooh Wanna lose control and forget with you Like roulette (ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s roll it (ah-ah-ah-ah)

W I They say everything in moderation And sometimes, you got to give in to temptation So, I drop a pin to my location Let’s roll the dice Big city lights Got me flirting with fire Tonight I’mma let my hair down Have a few rounds and just let go (CHORUS)

So tonight, we test limits Take the safety off for a minute ‘Cause my love’s a bullet with your name written on it Just load it and spin it (CHORUS)

SWISH SWISH

FEAT. NICK MINAJ

A tiger Don’t lose no sleep Don’t need opinions From a shellfish or a sheep Don’t you come for me No, not today You’re calculated I got your number ‘Cause you’re a joker

(CHORUS)

Swish, swish, bish Another one in the basket Can’t touch this Another one in the casket Your game is tired You should retire You’re ‘bout cute as An old coupon expired And karma’s not a liar She keeps receipts

So keep calm, honey, I’ma stick around For more than a minute, get used to it Funny my name keeps comin’ outcho mouth ‘Cause I stay winning Lay ‘em up like (CHORUS) They know what is what But they don’t know what is what (Katy Perry) They just know what is what (Young Money) But they don’t know what is what They just know what is what But they don’t know what is what They just strut Hahaha, yo What the fuck?

5 DÉJÀ VU I live off the echoes of your “I love you”s But I still feel the blows from all of your “don’t want to”s When you’re drunk, you say I’m the one Then you wake up You suck my hope up in a vacuum (CHORUS) ‘Cause every day’s the same Definition of insane I think we’re running on a loop Déjà vu So tell me something new Figure out the Rubik’s Cube I think we’re running on a loop


Déjà vu Your words are like Chinese water torture And there’s no finish line always one more corner Yeah, they slither like a centipede Why do you keep me at the end of a rope that keeps getting shorter? (CHORUS X2) ‘Cause every day’s the same Definition of insane I think we’re running on a loop Déjà vu

6 POWER I was fine before I met you Truth is that I lost myself inside you It is not fair to put all that on you But you took control of a vulnerable soul (yeah) I am my mother’s daughter And there are so many things I love about her But I have, I have to break the cycle So I can sit first at the dinner table (CHORUS) You can’t clip my wings, can’t wilt my flowers Stole my time, but I’ll make up the hours ‘Cause I’m a goddess and you know it Some respect, you better show it I’m done with you siphoning my power Power Hell hath no fury like a woman reborn And now I’m burning like a blue flame once more But don’t mistake my warmth for weakness Don’t bite the hand wthat feeds or you’ll You’ll never eat, no-oh (CHORUS)

And now I’m taking it back Electric as fuck (c’mon) You can’t quiet this thunder, no (no-oh-oh) Yeah, I’m taking it back Yeah, lit all the way up Even in the dark, I glow (I glow, I glow) (CHORUS)

7 MIND MAZE I’m losing all direction Slipping into quicksand I’ve shattered the illusion seen behind the curtain I’m disenchanted Dancing on a wire Juggling desire Every hit gets harder when you’re fighting without armor I’m disheartened Do I start over, rediscover? Submit to the sweet surrender (CHORUS) It’s a mind maze All these head games Caught in a cage A complex cage Am I a car on fire? Will I be devoured? I gotta free myself and get out of my own way I used to be so sparkling but now it’s not so charming What used to stimulate me now can barely wake me I’m unresponsive Will I find salvation, some kind of moderation? Spinning all these plates is gonna be a challenge A delicate balance


So do I start over, rediscover? Submit to the sweet surrender (CHORUS) Get out of my own way Get out of my own way Get out of my own way Do I start over, rediscover? I submit to your, your sweet surrender Your sweet surrender Your sweet surrender

8 MISS YOU MORE Saw your picture on accident Your face has changed The lines are sinking in I pressed play, I should haven’t Congratulations But do you ever wonder what we could have been? But your mind plays tricks with distance Always makes things feel so unfinished (CHORUS) I miss you more than I loved you. I do I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been) I miss you more than I loved you. I do I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been) I Saw a balloon floating away I thought, “did someone let go, or did they lose it?” So strange, you know all my secrets Please keep them safe And darling, you know I’ll do the same (You know I’ll do the same) Though we’re no longer in existence Baby, you’ll always be in my orbit (CHORUS)

We were a match, but not a fake We were a dream, unrealistic We didn’t lose, we didn’t win (Sometimes I wonder what we could have been) oh (CHORUS) You’ll always be in my orbit Oh-oh-oh-oh (you’ll always be in my orbit) No-oh-oh (you’ll always be in my orbit) Oh-oh-oh-oh (you’ll always be in my orbit

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we’re free Drink, this one is on me We’re all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm, to the rhythm Are we tone deaf? Keep sweeping it under the mat Thought we can do better than that I hope we can So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

T 9 CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM FEAT. SKIP MARLEY Are we crazy? Living our lives through a lens Trapped in our white picket fence Like ornaments So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble Aren’t you lonely Up there in utopia? Where nothing will ever be enough Happily numb So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble So put your rose colored glasses on, and party on (CHORUS)

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we’re free Drink, this one is on me We’re all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm, to the rhythm

So put your rose colored glasses on, and party on (CHORUS) (SKIP MARLEY) It is my desire Break down the walls To connect, inspire, yeah Up in your high place, liars Time is ticking for the empire The truth they feed is feeble As so many times before They greed over the people They’re stumbling, fumbling And we about to riot They woke up, they woke up the lions (CHORUS) To the rhythm, to the rhythm Turn it up Turn it up It goes on, and on, and on It goes on, and on, and on It goes on, and on, and on ‘Cause we’re all chained to the rhythm




10 TSUNAMI

11 BON APPÉTIT FEAT. MIGOS

Please don’t tip-toe Come close, let’s flow Anchor in me, and get lost at sea The world’s your oyster and I am the pearl Open waters Sink into me slowly (CHORUS)

(QUAVO) (CHORUS) ‘Cause I’m all that you want, boy All that you can have, boy Got me spread like a buffet Bon appétit, baby Appetite for seduction Fresh out the oven Melt in your mouth kind of lovin’ Bon appétit, baby

Sweet potato pie It’ll change your mind Got you running back for seconds Every single night

N

So baby, come and take a swim with me Make me ripple ‘til I’m wavy Don’t be scared to dive in deep And start a tsunami Tsunami Don’t fight Just ride the rhythm of the tide We swirl, we spin Salted, sun-kissed skin We float together Whatever weather Embrace the breeze and sail away smoothly

Looks like you’ve been starving You’ve got those hungry eyes You could use some sugar ‘Cause your levels ain’t right I’m a five-star Michelin A Kobe flown in You want what I’m cooking, boy

Let me take you Under candle light We can wine and dine A table for two And it’s okay If you take your time (CHORUS) Eat with your hands, fine Oh, you’re waking up an ocean of emotion I’m on the menu that my body can’t hide (CHORUS) (can’t hide) Tsunami So you want some more (oh-oh-oh-oh) Well I’m open 24 Now you’re soaked in my devotion Wanna keep you satisfied ‘cause you opened up a paradise Customer’s always right (inside) Hope you’ve got some room Tsunami For the world’s best cherry pie (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Gonna hit that sweet tooth, boy Tsunami (CHORUS)

(CHORUS X2)

Let me take you Under candle light We can wine and dine A table for two And it’s okay If you take your time Eat with your hands, fine I’m on the menu

(TAKEOFF)

I’m the one they say can change your life No waterfall, she drippin’ wet, Ytou like my ice? (Blast) She say she want a Migo night Now I ask her, “What’s the price? “ (Hold on) If she do right, told her get whatever you like (OFFSET)

I grab her legs and now divide, aight Make her do a donut when she ride, aight Looking at the eyes of a dime, make you blind In her spine and my diamonds change the climate (CHORUS)

Sweet tooth, no tooth fairy Whipped cream, no dairy She got her hot light on, screaming, “I’m ready” No horses, no carriage (CHORUS)

12 BIGGER THAN ME Can’t go with the flow, got to make waves Even though, I look at the sand and I’m just one grain But my intuition says there’s a bigger mission


I must embrace So I’m, I’m pushing my thoughts to a new place I keep screaming, ‘cause it won’t be easy To break all the patterns If I’m not evolving, I’m just another robot Taking up oxygen (CHORUS) It’s something bigger than me I can feel it beginning Something bigger than me Look, I can feel it opening Try to ignore it, but it keeps on growing Out of control It’s something bigger than me I can feel it happening So I’ll speak my truth Though my voice shakes Try to summon the strength To look fear in the face But I’m kicking and screaming, ‘cause it won’t be easy To break all the patterns If I’m not evolving, I’m just another robot Taking up oxygen (CHORUS x2) Do I start over, rediscover? I submit to your, your sweet surrender Your sweet surrender Your sweet surrender

13 SAVA AS DRAFT I remember when you used to be my every other thought But now my calendar’s so full, It’s easier to move on Sometimes I swear I pass your Suv on Sunset Boulevard I don’t fuck with change but lately I’ve been flipping coins a lot (CHORUS) I struggle I juggle I could just throw a line to you But I should let sleeping dogs lie ‘Cause I know better, baby I write it Erase it Repeat it But what good will it do to reopen the wound? So I take a deep breath and I save as draft You don’t have to subtweet me My number’s always been the same But all’s been said and done will we ever really close this case? Yeah, I will always be here for you but I could no longer stay Still my body goes in shock every time I hear your name (CHORUS) I’ve heard you’ve done some changing I’ve been rearranging Wish that I could know, but I just don’t know Never get that time back Fear we’d fall in old traps Why can’t we just let go? Staring at a fork in the fucking road (CHORUS)


14 PENDULUM You got patina, ain’t so green, nah You earned thisspot, Got your receipts, yeah Funny, gotta add Addendums to your dreams Still you never sleep, no You never sleep, ah Oh, you learned to dance, To bob and weave, yeah To let that water roll off easy, yeah You grew yourself above the weeds Taller than the trees, oh

It’s a pendulum, it all comes back around It’s a pendulum, it’s a pendulum Life’s a pendulum, It’ll all come back around It’s a pendulum, it all comes back, it all comes back

So, just take those punches on the chin, yeah Don’t fight the changes in the wind, no, no ‘Cause you’ll find your way home Oh, if you find a way to let go Just let go Don’t try and reinvent Your wheel (your wheel) ‘Cause you’re too original (original) Baby, just stay classic Ain’t broke, ain’t broke, don’t fix it Your highs, your lows, just ride it (CHORUS) And there is no need to worry the pages keep on turning And it goes on and on, c Comes all the way around

(CHORUS) Oh, ‘cause no one’s ever seen me like this Seen right through the bullshit I pray that I can keep unfolding Pray that I can just stay open Just stay open, just stay open Just stay open

E

So, don’t try and reinvent your wheel ‘Cause you’re too original Baby, just stay classic Ain’t broke, ain’t broke, don’t fix it Your highs, your lows, just ride it (CHORUS)

There is no need to hurry Iif there’s a fire burning ‘Cause it goes on and on, Comes all the way around All the way around Hey, around Oh (all the way around), c’mon Ain’t broke, ain’t broke, don’t fix it Your highs, your lows, just ride it (CHORUS X2)

15 INTO ME YOU SEE

I built a wall so high No one could reach A life of locks I swallowed all the keys I was petrified Only knew how to hide They can’t hurt me if they don’t know me A full facade made a mirage outta me Then you came and started Digging for a treasure underneath And you found a better Version of me I had never seen (CHORUS)

Into me, you see Into me, you see You broke me wide open Open sesame Into me, you’ll see Into me, you’ll see You got me wide open Now I’m ready Is this intimacy?

I was a ship floating aimlessly So camouflage Was my own worst enemy

Then you came in like a sailor With a heart that anchored me And every day, I wake up grateful I’m no longer lost at sea

Oh, ‘cause you broke me Wide open Open sesame Into me, you’ll see Into me, you’ll see You got me wide open And now I’m ready This is intimacy
