True Power w/ Claire Mortifee

Official audio for “True Power” from the album “Hold On Let Go” available now

This record is a snapshot in time for me. I wrote most of it on tour over the past year, from Tokyo to New York, Los Angeles to Paris, and sonically it reflects that up-and-down pace of the road and my effort to find moments of peace amongst it.

Lyrics:
I ask for whatever I need, for whatever I want cuz I know I can get it
I’m all up in using my mind to deliver the shine to the moment I’m blessed in
I don’t got the time for no one to be telling me what I should do to impress him
I’m always walking my talk – if you’re thinking I’m not, then you better go check it
See, you got to know
Nobody can tell me how it’s got to go
Damn, you got to feel
When you’re talking at me, gotta keep it real
Now I know you’re young,
Trying to find a way to be the special one
But I will not let you disrespect my fire

True-true-true
You know better
True-true-true
You’ve grown wiser
True-true-true
You love deeper
Show me true power
Show me true power
Show me that shine
Show me true power
Show me your shine

I know your friends have been saying buncha dirty damn things about the people around you
They judge, they splatter and smudge in reflection of what they’re afraid of inside
Let go of the stories and know that the blessing will flow once you’re getting your heart full
Wise Mo already did say it, your hatred is weakness, your gossip is blind
See you got to know
Hating on a homie is a nasty joke
Damn you got to feel
Only by the earth are you allowed to heal
Now I know you’re scared
Trying to find a way to be the best prepared
But I will not have you disrespect my fire

True-true-true
You know better
True-true-true
You’ve grown wiser
True-true-true
You love deeper
Show me true power
Show me true power
Show me that shine
Show me true power
Show me your shine

I rarely get you love
I rarely get you
I cannot get enough
I gotta come through
I rarely get you love
I rarely get you
I never gave it up
I choose to love you

See, you got to know
Nobody can tell me how it’s got to go
Damn, you got to feel
When you’re talking at me, gotta keep it real
Now I know you’re young,
Trying to find a way to be the special one
But I will not have you disrespect my fire

True-true-true
You know better
True-true-true
You’ve grown wiser
True-true-true
You love deeper
Show me, show me now
