1.	Penelope 03:26	lyrics	buy track
It's the intricate introvert with insecurities wrapped in fear, The Uniqueness of your Beauty causes mad disturbances up in my atmosphere! Your solar wind emissions travel the whole distance So when they arrive across my sky you light up my whole existence You-- Summon the Aurora Borealis with no resistance, You're the Northern Light I try to write and compose within a sentence! Your golden fingertips are dipped in caramel and melanin The sweetness of your touch fills my cerebellum with adrenaline! And I can't help but sway, I can't help but dance! What else is there to say, I'm tryna hella develop this romance! May we intelligently slow dance-- Speak our minds completely and freely, listen in to what our soul's chant! Ancient songs of wisdom with those long lost dialects, If I could have the honor to record all that your shine reflects I would be kindly blessed If we could let our minds connect Cause its possible that with You, I could forever let my time invest! Chorus: Tell Me, Tell Me, Tell Me! Everything that's on your mind! And I will do the same so we can see if our passions align! Cause I'm the type to love unapologetically, Ayo you set me free, You set me free, Litte Miss Penelope! Verse2: You encompass and embody the total sum of all my reveries So when I saw you in real life I accepted to just let it be, Respectfully, Cause if it was truly meant to be Eventually Destiny Would find a way to put you right in front-- Direct from me! You're the Moon pulling my lyrics, flowing out so effort free! If emotion were an Ocean, You'd be my "Lover's Rock"-steadily! You make my chestbox rejoice! Beat-Loud-Heavily! If loneliness were a disease, you'd be my most perfect remedy! Sometimes you move in slow motion, With your heavenly pedigree And every time I see you smile, I hear angelic melodies! Sure you're f*cking beautiful but so damn gorgeous mentally Your intellect Commands respect, I'm grateful you let yourself Connect with me! I'm just tryna be the happiness that you choose to reflect in me Cause happiness to me is everywhere that you are next to me! You possess The elegance Of a "Stellar" breeze! How do you do it? Make me feel llike I do, Little Miss Penelope!

Verse1: Shoutouts to the Universe, the Moon and Stars above! This was written in a hemlock, carved with love! Between the margins I supply for the marginalized My artistry cries for all the martyrs that died-- so check it! Beneath the darkest of skies, I rip apart and pry The clouded boundaries that stop the remarkable rise Of our people! My people! My audio easel Is an animated painting of the triumph over evil! I've been rhyming deep flows faithfully, Remolding myself into the person that I aim to be-- Have my sister tell my family to pray for me, I stay steady on my path as I blaze my trees! My dreams are clearly seen in the smoke I blow out I see the "Eve" of the victory so I carry "No Doubt" So "Don't Speak" If your hope's weak and lackluster, Cause we stay adapting past these wack muhfuckers! chorus: Life is Heavy, But the Light of Hope forever remains bright and steady! Verse2: Like a mountain of dopeness, I let my art rock! Writing from my chest box until my heart stops! My veins flow the blood that remind you of those islands, No matter where we're at, melanin stay shining! Luminous I'm moving with The speed Only a few can glimpse! Planting seeds of Peace! Blooming into Human Bliss! But their self-hatred keeps their view eclipsed, Racist in 2018? Fucking Ludacris! So we stay "Disturbing Tha Peace" Til we get justice for the innocents murdered by police! I mean, why is that really so much to ask Repeating the same cycle like we stuck in the past! Deconstruct class analysis Fuck your palaces! Capitalism only creates more callousness! Challenges are met with a fist pump when I spit soul, Sorry not Sorry, donald trump you're the Shithole!
3.	All Eye Really Want 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Verse1: She expressed in a text that she misses my energy I'm revisiting memories of holding Her so tenderly close I remember thee glow inside Her eyes When she let me gently inside of Her in between her thighs Moments I can recollect with a flawless clarity Like our souls were connected in body language sincerity If I may speak carelessly Paradise is anywhere and everywhere as long as she is there with me! Her smile - her mad style has me acting all beguiled I dance to her enchantments so natural and wild! Choreographed by the chorus of constellations That exist inside her irides the glorious conversation From the way Her eyes amazingly speak to me Its like we communicate on the same wavelength and frequency So frequently she be crossing my mind She's like the infinite beauty that was once lost in time! Chorus: Ayy! Ayy! You're all I really want In this crazy world you're the only one I want! Ayy! Verse2: Let me speak on all the things I'd be willing to do Like cook, clean, express myself, give you space if you need it too Cause I can see our feelings grow infinitely spacious I'd like to hold you under the stars so intimate and gracious!-- - - - - If you love me baby, just let me hear you say it I know that I'm your favorite, let's hotbox the spaceship! As we travel to Taurus along the starry nightly Or even to Mexico to feel the harbor's nice breeze! We can educate each other, decolonize the mind Cause growing closer together with you I consider quality time Bury yesterday's mistakes where the morning decomposes In the face of being wounded by the thorns from all the roses But still I would want us to not get lost in our bond We gotta know our own hearts to keep the partnership strong You remind me of happiness on a sunny day with some light clouds But we both know a partnership just wouldn't work right now .... Or could it? Chorus: Ayy! Ayy! You're all I really want In this crazy world you're the only one I want! Ayy!
4.	Take It Slow 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Verse1: Usually the type to send the friend request first But let’s take a second to breathe and figure out what best works A simple text from you is enough to get me through the day Cause I gotta work on myself before we even make a way To anything that even resembles a couple’s dedication Not tryna put you through long distance separation I know you already miss me and I already miss you Just know I still think about the very first time I kissed you Teach me everything about you that you’re willing to share In hopes that I can share my all with you and learn to always be there If you got issues with trust, trust we can work it out Plus you don’t gotta ask who this verse is about But I’m kinda cute so they say it’s hard to trust And I dress fresh to death making ladies want to lust, But I ain’t like that, I ain’t like that Cause you’re the only one who can text me and I’ll be quick to write back Chorus: Let's take it slow, take it slow! Let's take it slow to unify on what we need to make this grow! Verse2: After looking back with happiness at the past few weeks The very thought of you is enough to pull me from sleep I’ve been waking up at 5 am thinking of you Wondering if you see me in a similar view In a half-asleep dream-state so when my eyes open I’m hoping to be back in your room, disrobing your clothing Cause you got me open like a Starry Night While you sleep I write you letters about how your heartbeat is like/the dopest drumbeat When it’s beating next to mine My favorite beat to write to as I reflect your divine Bodies are temporary rather connect with your mind Build a trail between our souls that leads you directly to mine Reflect on the present so progressions align We can talk about whatever you want as long as you express your mind Our hearts are in full bloom let’s see what destiny finds Delivered by the full Moon, a blessing so kind.

Verse1: In the city of LA, nothing's brighter than your shine I'd like to bask inside your glow during all of your quiet times Watch the way you read and write cook you something dope Build on something positive as long as we getting close I'm not only talking specifically the physical I'd like to take a closer look at what you consider spiritual ... If you really insist we could make love til the Earth crumbles But on the real, I'd much rather build a world with you! Cause there's so much a girl can do in this crazy mess we live in Even though our skin tone is recommended for prison So please just speak your mind, let me connect with your wisdom Cause true masculinity is inspired by feminism This is genuinely asking for your permission To let me see your vision, in hopes that I can keep you driven Just tell me what I need to do, promise I'll just listen Just tell me what I need to do, promise I'll just listen... Chorus: (with the bass part) You're my favorite book to read - True indeed! And I just wanna learn about the story of your life! The story of your life, the story of your life! (And perhaps there's a story of love that we could write!) Verse2: I suppose from the outside it looks kinda suspect But let's take a moment to assess, please don't leave just yet I've been writing about you, I haven't gotten much rest But you find it hard to believe cause we haven't even fucked yet?! But I prefer the term making love I'll admit I'm addicted to that feeling while others be taking drugs Show me the field of your soul I can plant the nourishment And gently cultivate the understanding and encouragement Anything else you need to flourish and thrive Let's practice honest dialog to honor the purity of the vibe Surely my eyes are seeking for something deeper If Love is a life lesson, could I select you as my teacher? And I could be your student, we could share switch roles Really learn about each other what best fits our souls Tell me what gives you joy, I'll let my hair down and do the same So whenever you're really ready, just come and get this mane Chorus: (with the bass part) You're my favorite book to read - True indeed! And I just wanna learn about the story of your life! The story of your life, the story of your life! (And perhaps there's a story of love that we could write!)

Verse1: Yes, yes, what's in a partnership? Whats it take to really make it work through all the hardest shit? Sitting here, writing hoping that my heart's equipped With the necessary to make it past the arduous Trials and tribulations-- If your smile is my liberation, then your sadness is my prison! I'mah do all that I can to truly make you happy, Gotta learn to love yourself but if you need help, ask me! I'll open my soul and show you what I see, A dope sistah just tryna be free-- Free from the oppression of rape culture malarkey Say it with me y'all, FUCK PATRIARCHY! So if you're sad I understand what you're going through, Just tell me how I can be better at supporting you! Together we can balance a living, I want a revolutionary love attacking the system! Chorus: So graceful, and full of grace-- I'm tryna put my kisses all on her face, Gently, If she lets me, If she lets me, If she lets me... Verse2: I can show you all the scars of my heart Show you potential places where you can leave your mark Despite whatever happens whether we're better or worse Everything we experience is growth in this Universe! But I'm tryna grow with you, I'm tryna grow with you! Just tell me what I'm supposed to do!-- Emotions overflowing like the Moon to the tide, It's the same way you pull me consumed in the vibe! By that look in your eyes, Something's blooming inside! We can share our culture's, there's room in my tribe! We can speak on our layers and our complexities But is it okay if we do so, with you laying next to me? --It's more than just the sex to me, I'm tryna share our destinies and compare their trajectories! See if it's worth it to share the All of Me This is a branch from an olive tree From Ketchikan To Albany, Peace. Chorus: So graceful, and full of grace-- I'm tryna put my kisses all on her face, Gently, If she lets me, If she lets me, If she lets me... Verse3: Aye Nako! Ako nanaman! Walang pake alam kung hindi ko naramdaman! But I felt it in my spirit So I melted down the lyrics Into a red spear tip, Aiming at Her Puso! Tsska-unhh! Let the flame of the truth glow! Cause I can feel you from here to the Purple Rain in Pluto! (RIP Prince!) We can share with each other The secrets that our roots know, You make time move so fast, But also seem to move slow! I can feel our groove grow! Be still mi heart, Mi corazon! Mi gusto! We can take a trip to visit the mountains in Cuzco! Or anywhere As long as I can kiss you in the Moonglow! Or just even holding your hands, Cause when you smile and look at me I feel my soul expand! You're my favorite reason why I can smile today Cause I can feel you, thousands of miles away! Peace. Chorus: So graceful, and full of grace-- I'm tryna put my kisses all on her face, Gently, If she lets me, If she lets me, If she lets me...

about

Phatima EP

What is the concept behind “Phatima”?

The idea behind Phatima is an homage to the character “Fatima” in the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo. The story is about the soul of the Universe and how she conspires with us to make our dreams come true; the tale centers around the main character named Santiago, and Fatima is his love interest. His muse if you will, and without going into too much detail of the book, she’s a sort of inspiration of his, but also proves to be a point of realization in the sense that there are things he needs to accomplish before he can contribute his whole self to building something between them. This EP revolves around those particular feelings and emotions, the ongoing journey of self-growth and improvement in order to bring your best self to a partnership.
