Hero 03:25
Can't take this tornado in my brain Giving up, giving up, giving up on crying Can't shake this wild hurricane I'm through, I'm through, I'm through with trying 'Cause I've been beaten I've been bruised I've been ripped to shreds Hell, I've been used I need healing I'm tired of taking these hits Got a new song to sing It goes like this I may be broken But my feet are still on the ground And if I give up this queen will never be crowned Even under ashes I've got glory And I'm the hero in my own story You're an avalanche and I'm ten feet below Get me out, get me out, get me out I'm begging Under spotlight you give one hell of a show But out of this jail, this jail I'm breaking 'Cause I've been beaten I've been bruised I've been ripped to shreds Hell, I've been used I need healing I'm tired of taking these hits Got a new song to sing It goes like this I may be broken But my feet are still on the ground And if I give up this queen will never be crowned Even under ashes I've got glory And I'm the hero in my own story And now my heart is shaking I can feel the light Though my world is breaking I'm ready to fight With this paper and pen I'll write my own happy ending I'm the hero here (8x) I may be broken But my feet are still on the ground And if I give up this queen will never be crowned Even under ashes I've got glory And I'm the hero in my own story I'm not broken My feet are still on the ground And if I give up this queen will never be crowned Even under ashes I've got glory And I'm the hero in my own story

I Am Enough 02:51
I’ve spent too many decades Hiding ‘neath the covers Covering up my curves Clothed myself in black But this body wants some glitter This body wants some light Gonna put my hands up Cause I am enough I am enough I am enough My body is not wrong My body is not shameful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Cause I’m dancing just for me For this body I am grateful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Turn around I’ve got scars to prove That I’ve been through the battle Of believing that there is beauty in flaws But its time to mute the voices That keep telling me to change I’m through apologizing for looking this way So I’m lifting up my skirt And I’m showing off a little leg Let me tell you who I love Gonna put my hands up Cause I am enough I am enough I am enough My body is not wrong My body is not shameful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Cause I’m dancing just for me For this body I am grateful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Turn around My body is not wrong (Beautiful broken) My body is not shameful (Perfectly imperfect) If you don’t like what you see (I am enough) Turn around, turn around (I am enough) My body is not wrong (Beautiful broken) My body is not shameful (Perfectly imperfect) If you don’t like what you see (I am enough) Turn around, turn around (I am enough) My body is not wrong My body is not shameful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Cause I’m dancing just for me For this body I am grateful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Turn around My body is not wrong My body is not shameful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Cause I’m dancing just for me For this body I am grateful If you don’t like what you see Turn around Turn around Turn around

No Poor Soul 03:59
This bag of stones has got to, got to go Cause my bloodied hands can't carry this heavy load It's my shame that's bringing me down And makin’ me drag my knuckles on the ground Mama didn't raise no poor soul Mama didn't raise no poor soul I want to feel that gold on my skin Break out of the box they put my in And sing “this is who I am” This is who I am I want to walk the streets with my face to the sky Not be afraid to look you in the eye And sing, “this is who I am” This is who I am Mama didn’t raise no poor soul Mama didn’t raise no poor soul So come on, come on, give me, give me your hand It's time for you and I take a stand Cause we're all a little broken We're all a little ugly We're all just trying to survive Mama didn't raise no poor soul Mama didn't raise no poor soul I want to feel that gold on my skin Break out of the box they put my in And sing “this is who I am” This is who I am I want to walk the streets with my face to the sky Not be afraid to look you in the eye And sing, “this is who I am” This is who I am Mama didn’t raise no poor soul Mama didn’t raise no poor soul There is thunder in the distance There's a rumble shakin’ the sky Hear our voices they've been silent But now we won't keep quiet Cause change is a comin And there's no turning back Can you hear it? Can you see it? Mama I am free at last Mama I am free at last Mama I am free at last I want to feel that gold on my skin Break out of the box they put my in And sing “this is who I am” This is who I am I want to walk the streets with my face to the sky Not be afraid to look you in the eye And sing, “this is who I am” This is who I am Mama didn’t raise no poor soul Mama didn’t raise no poor soul Mama didn’t raise no poor soul No, no, no, no Mama didn’t raise no poor soul Change is coming

Stand Up 04:08
Go ahead and walk in my boots for a minute And tell me how easy it is to stay silent Walking home to your babies and you see those flashing lights Mama always said it's not safe for a black man to walk at night Go ahead and walk in my heels for a minute And tell me how easy it is to just forget it Cause they say it's your fault for dressing like you do But ignore the good man who left you black and blue Till the end of the hurt Till the last lesson learned I will wreck my voice I'll be heard through the noise I will stand my ground until I see the end And you would too if you'd been where I'd been Go ahead and walk in my shoes for a minute And tell me how easy it is to grin and bear it When the ones you love the most close the door on you and shun Cause a 4,000 year old book is more important than their son Go ahead and walk with my bare feet for a minute And tell me how easy it is to accept it When everything you've ever known has turned to soot and ash A war you had no hand in Took everything you had How does it feel When the world turns its back? Till the end of the hurt Till the last lesson learned I will wreck my voice I'll be heard through the noise I will stand my ground until I see the end And you would too if you'd been where I'd been Stand up, won't you? Stand up, won't you? Won't you stand up? Till the end of the hurt Till the last lesson learned I will wreck my voice I'll be heard through the noise I will stand my ground until I see the end And you would too if you'd been where I've been Stand up, won't you? Stand up, won't you? Won't you stand up?

Wanderer 03:36
​Mama told me I was wanderer And it would be hard to find someone That could hold me down They'd have to be smart With strong hands and strong heart That could keep me coming back for more I live my life with no rearview mirror No sleepless nights No looking back Windows down and hands to the sky I say goodbye By pushing 95 I put one foot in front of the other Fake it left as I go right Ladies and gentlemen Won't you come and take a look At the amazing, elusive, the bold Now you see her, now you don't I have slept in the arms of a lover I know the thorn from a rose let go I've seen that look across a crowded room That makes me weak in my knees And sends the blood to my cheeks I put one foot in front of the other Fake it left as I go right Ladies and gentlemen Won't you come and take a look At the amazing, elusive, the bold Now you see her, now you don't In your eyes I see a woman that I could love And a calm I've wanted all my life I see a garden filled with daisies And my arms filled up with babies And a wrinkle for every year I grow old with you my dear And a life, a life, a life I never thought I deserved Mama told me I was wanderer And it would be hard to find someone that could hold me down But here I am standing on solid ground Ladies and gentlemen Won't you come and take a look See how she holds, no, she won't go See how she stands still as stone
