Drake / From Time
When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my
momma's debit
A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it
Cause that night I played her three songs
Then we talked about something we disagreed on
Then she started telling me how I'll never be as big
as Trey Songz
Boy was she wrong, that was just negative energy
for me to feed off

John Mayer / In Repair
Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could
be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.
I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

J. Cole / Love Yourz
I'm tired of living with demons cause they always inviting
more
Think being broke was better
Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect
To all my niggas out there living in debt
Cashing minimal checks
Turn on the TV see a nigga Rolex
And fantasize about a life with no stress
I mean this shit sincerely
And that's a nigga who was once in your shoes
Living with nothin' to lose
I hope one day you hear me

Lost Ones
She said nigga you got the nerve
To come up to me talkin’ bout abortion
This my body nigga so don’t think you finna force shit
See I knew that this is how you act, so typical
Said you love me, oh, but now you flipping like reciprocals
It figures though, should’ve known that you was just
another nigga
…I let you hit it raw mothafucker
Now I’m pregnant you don’t wanna get involved
muthafucker
Tryna take away a life, is you God mothafucker?

11. FAITH

The Wonder Years / I Won’t Say the
Lord’s Prayer
It's a series of bars, thrift stores and
churches lining the streets
While women with gold crosses push kids
into half-formed beliefs
And if Lord was righteous, I think I'd rather
not be
We lean on fences built from outdated
morality

Steffany Gretzinger / Pieces
Love keeps its promises, it keeps its word
It honors what’s sacred, ‘cause its vows are
good
Your love's not broken
It's not insecure
Your love's not selfish, your love is pure

1 Corinthians
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-
seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth.

The Byrds / Turn, Turn, Turn
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

Ecclesiastes
To every thing there is a season, and a time
to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is
planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time
to mourn, and a time to dance;

Chance the Rapper / Blessings
I don't make songs for free, I make 'em for freedom
Don't believe in kings, believe in the Kingdom
Chisel me into stone, prayer whistle me into song air
Dying laughing with Krillin saying something 'bout blonde
hair
Jesus' black life ain't matter, I know I talked to his daddy
Said you the man of the house now, look out for your family
He has ordered my steps, gave me a sword with a crest
And gave Donnie a trumpet in case I get shortness of
breath

Blessings intro
I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him 'til I'm gone
I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him 'til I'm gone
When the praises go up, the blessings come
down
When the praises go up, the blessings come
down
It seems like blessings keep falling in my lap
It seems like blessings keep falling in my lap

Miguel / Candles in the Sun
Is there a God?
Is he watching?
Is she watching?
Are they watching now?
If not, what are we doing?
Where are we going?
What are we doing now?

Candles in the Sun
Diamond in the back,
Babies on crack,
Kickin' the door,
Waving the four four
White-collared war crime, money gets spent
Just candles in the sun, blowing in the wind
Sun goes down.
Heroes often get shot
Peace has long been forgot got

DJ Khaled / Holy Key
Father help us, police doing target practice with
real bodies
Mommas in the streets, crying, standing over a still
body
Niggas over stressing, we under investigation
Every day off to the races, can't fuck with you if
you racist
Beat your ass until you purple, they can't even tell
what your race is
Doctor King meet Dr. Dre, except this doctor lost
all his patience

The 1975 / Somebody Else
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody
else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody
else

Ingrid Michaelson / Ghost
Do you remember when the walls fell
Do you remember the sound that the door
made when you closed it on me
Do you know that I went down to the ground
Landed on both my broken-hearted knees

We the Kings / Sad Song
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.

Sleeping at Last / Saturn
I couldn’t help but ask
For you to say it all again.
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen.
I’d give anything to hear
You say it one more time,
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes.

Sam Hunt / Break Up in a Small
Town
I'd act like I didn't see her
We'd pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curves
Run around with the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on
with mine

Tink / Treat Me Like Somebody
'Cause I've been on the search and I'm
losing my hope
Is that too much? Is that too much?
Trying to find love in a world so cold
Is that too much?

Demi Lovato / Stone Cold
Stone cold
Baby
God knows I try to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am
Even if I can't understand

John Mayer / Slow Dancing in a
Burning Room
It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Yuna / Used to Love You
I wonder if you think about me
Now that you're out there on your own
You made it seem so easy
I wanna be just like you
I wonder if your heart is healing
You're going out so often now
I see the boys are helping you out
Are they just like you?
