I Can Move Your Heart (free) 03:07
I can move the world or I can move your heart (x3) I can, I can, I can We're all work and no play but we got to get this job done right It's all worth it That's what he say But I'd like to have you in my life I play it off like I'm all right Yeah, I can be that strong tonight But here's my dream and here's my heart Breaking at the very thought (chorus) Small things change This needs clean It's a steady sort of satisfaction No one talk, we just do Keep up pace so we don't lose the traction I play it off like all is fine Well I'm yours and you're mine But here's my heart and here's my dream Breaking at the very seam (chorus)

My Verdict (free) 03:44
Maybe those hip hop boys don't know what I mean and those indie rockers don't know what I'm seeing I got pop stars beating in my ears but they're not me I got guitar songs wrote for years that I don't want to sing Here's my primal scream I don't know how these things build so many boxes 'round my heart and here's my last report my patience growing short I don't care how you word it I'm fucking done that's my verdict I got this guy calling from L.A I got this guy calling from New York I got this guy calling from the U.K I got an agent at William Morris but they all say whatcha doin' girl well when's the next thing brewing girl we heard your song we watched your video we sang along but where's that new shit girl? (chorus) define it if you have to i still gon' surpass you send my tape to Kanye built that shit my own way many got the whole world on a silver spoon talent is a game of who is knowing who if you got the paper I can see this through I just wanna rock it see you on the moon (chorus)

Persistence (free) 03:17
Baby if you're strong or acting all along your body moves with resistance I can be the breath of all you haven't said just take my up on my persistence my head I can't get away from tonight babe you got my bags and you got me for life whisper my words in your ear it's my tongue that works here and you can have as much as you like make it my mission to convert you I ain't gonna hurt you I just want your soul tonight (chorus) Now we play fair up in here 'long as you proceed with care I don't bite but I might if you slip It ain't work 'less it's hard 'less I'm flying off the handle 'less I'm swinging from the moon 'less I'm doing what I do I can produce magic I can make you believe I can induce logic man I got what you need (chorus) Tragedy strikes, I decide to be myself Angel fall from sky say, "you're creepin close to hell" man that was visceral don't take me literal I'm standing in this valley of these words I try to pull out fuck you retrospect I'm doing me watch my intellect turn into the sea swim to love now swim to live now swim to get out swim to me (chorus)

We've Been Thru (free) 04:18
I gave you my all I gave you every chance to change boy saw the writing on the wall but I chose to look the other way while our love stood trial while I held your hand cuff and clasp while I paid your bills and prayed your will would bring me home an honest man well honest man I couldn't hang with you honest man you locked me in chains with you He say, "after all we've been thru I know you're the one girl you filled in the silence with love when there was none" but boy I can't live this way no more this can't be ok no more something's got to break make no mistake I'm leaving you tonight never would have told you that never would deny you that boy I put my heart in yeah boy I did my time yeah you saved me once or twice yeah I know we both can't be right but I kept praying that you'd grow up fast and bring me home an honest man well honest man I could hang with you honest man you locked me in chains with you (chorus) As I hear you cry out but I can't look back now you know it you owe it to yourself to move on (chorus)

Thank You Vengeance (free) 04:09
There's a hand on my shoulder there's a heart in my corner there's a move I wanna make there's a man I wanna take with me there's a few who got my back there's a few who don't react I can get a lot done if no one stands in my way But there's importance in the opposition fueling my ignition wanna get me going just know how to burn me down I thank you for the vengeance electrolytic conductor like my equation is finally working out There's a hope I'm gonna win there's a fear I won't finish let me fight it out I can't live without it there's a few who motivate me there's a few who kill my will I can get a lot done if no one stands in my way (chorus) riding on an impulse I don't wanna stop cuz you need your spread sheets and scales decimals and percentage sales we're adapting to vibrations you're adopting hesitations x and y you try to solve it why not try to evolve it in what you need in what I need (chorus)

The Sweetness (free) 03:39
It's a new day not a bad day you're a good man how you so damn good man I'm a nice girl with a sad face you don't like that so we change pace Let's go for a walk in the city sun let's go for a ride to the highest part let's look from the top of the greatest view now before we kiss let me just say this You taught me how to learn you taught me how to love you taught me how to smile when I couldn't cry enough you taught me how when I look down there's always sky above me shinning on, shinning on popping holes for stars There's a sweetness you bring home like it's on repeat and my heart drops to the floor like it's on the beat you have hard days how you never get phased I have hard days I go blank, we change pace (chorus)

Without U (free) 03:31
It's great without you fun without you, right without you It's great without you day without you, night without you It's great without you I don't have to fight without you It's great when I think I'll never see your face again It's harder in the beginning I stayed, yeah boy I bit it It weren't easy cuz you don't look very good to me It weren't easy cuz you're not very good there he goes shouting things doubting me throwing fits and I can't see how that can be very good for me there he goes on his knees like he gon' marry me I can't see how that can be very good (chorus) He wrote three times a day he had all the right things to say he promised things half way from heaven and gold to me he promised things but he don't have any gold there he go talking shit counterfeit too legit I can't see how that can be very good for me there I go making plans, clap my hands I can't see how that can be very good (chorus)
