Lyrics:
Armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart
Now can you tell yourself
Seeing is believing
Cause I can’t
I don’t believe you got a trick up your sleeve
Because you take too long
It’s kinda hard to see
Well if you’re gonna make moves
You gotta make them soon
Quit talking so much
The world's counting on you
To take your part
You got to play it smart
Keep your head on straight
To change the current state
Of the mess we’re in
So just let it begin
Cause it’s a brand new day
A brand new way to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's be, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick your belief
Whatever brings you relief
And don’t question the point
You could forget about choice
And watch your greatest dreams
Get swallowed up by routines
You give your power away
And then you sit there and pray
If I could only be
The greatest version of me
If I could overcome, the challenges to see
That I could take my time
With an open mind
Cause it's a brand new day
A brand new way to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So let’s be yeah, yeah, yeah
Armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart
Oh well I’m armed with the pride
We need to fight your wars
And we cannot unite
Cause we’re so far apart now
Can you tell yourself
Seeing is believing
Can you tell yourself
That this is true
If what you see
And what you got
Turns out to be what’s not
Well then what will you do

Lyrics -
Raising up some conscious sense
to pave the dents, fill the gaps of uncertainty
And then there’s times it makes perfect sense
I destroy the fence, dividing divinity
To think I thought, what a thought, I keep in mind while my mind keeps thinking
Raised it up, raising up, I raise it up till I can’t get up, get down
With your brothers, what makes it so hard to just love one another
If we all have to share this rock it comes quite as the shock
We just don't compromise
Take back take time relax, some time to unwind, never mind possibilities
Take that, and frame it in a plaque, wear it on your back just so everyone knows
You, you know the truth You can't be fooled
Even though they’re going to try to say
The only way
Is if you pay
And then you wonder why you’re not happy
So who’s to blame
Is there a name
We can pin this whole mess on
It’s not a game, but it's a game son
Whose side are you on?
God, this is a letter to you
If the situation is true we’re gonna need some help here
Wars, slipping through all the cracks, they got you watching your back
Curiosity killed the fact
Is that we’re running a maze
Cuz I’ve been running for days
I been running from who I am
But if the message was clear, I would no longer fear
I would no longer have to cry, in search of reasoning why
They say you do or you die, there’s no space left in between
There’s no room to relate, there’s no room to debate
I only see what can be seen
And so you know, it’s just a show, so they can keep you under control
To own your mind, to own your time, to own your money, to own your life
Like a thread on a sweater each story tends to unravel
No don't go it’s gets better, just wait to see what it comes down to
You, you know the truth You can't be fooled
Even though their going to try to say
The only way
Is if you pay
And then you wonder why you’re not happy
So who’s to blame
Is there a name
We can pin this whole mess on
It’s not a game, but it's a game son
Whose side are you on?

Lyrics -
(Chorus)
I don’t want to miss you
You have your life
I’ll hold you back, with the bullshit from mine
It’s hard to accept
I must let you go
We were best friends
It’s all that I know
I remember the first day that I saw you
You were so cool how could I do anything but adore you
From a distance though because I could only dream
With persistence though, I’d formulate this fantasy
So you can imagine the shock and surprise
That fateful day we locked eyes
Who knew I’d take YOU by surprise
You’d open doors I had inside
Explore these thoughts I could not hide
Who knew that day would last forever and be burned inside my mind
(Chorus)
Now we’ve been having so much fun
Look at the things we’ve done
And in this short ass time, just look what we’ve become
Cuz like
I always thought I would be alone
Without a friend I could call my own
It’s like I screamed out to the Gods and you were what responded
We connect deep, we were just what I wanted
So, ppplease forgive me if I’m being too intense
This is a dream that I had
Where WE were best friends
(Chorus)
Ha ha ha, here it is the best part of the song
You thought there’d be a happy ending
Well you thought wrong
And I gotta stop pretending I meant something to you
Cuz I mean nothing, really nothing can be further from the truth
Let me tell you how it ended, it was over so fast
Turns we were never friends, you just wanted some ass
But since you can’t take rejection, you were gone in a flash
And we were best friends too, now it’s all in the past
(Chorus)

Are You Ready for Recession?
Music - By Design
Are you ready for recession, it's coming
So hold on to your seats
When nations start falling
The media won't miss a beat
It's entertainment for your eyes
Innovation will be our demise
Hey you there, starving
Do you care about Wall Street
It's out there, crawling almost on two feet
Well I'll be louder and louder
Until you understand me
Oh no, are you ready
Ready for recession

Saving Grace - By Design
Music & Lyrics - By Design @bydesignlive
Video - @neveraskedfilms
Saving grace why did you come for me
Saving grace why cant you let me be
Saving grace what do you see in me
Saving grace some so called destiny
Awake in me, courage to hold my own
Stake in me, asset portfolio
Reluctant me, I'll play the beaten drum
And wait to see, what it is we become
Called to act, I'll play your character
Face this fact, I'll take a stab at her
She captivates, I'm somewhat mesmerized
Tasks we face, unfold throughout our lives
On and on, when we see the fall of all we made
Take it on, meet it face to face
Build it up, the foundation is strong once again
Teared it down, never to be fooled again
Saving grace why did you come for me
Saving grace why cant you let me be
Saving grace what do you see in me
Saving grace some so called destiny

If you're paying attention
Pay a little more
Are you prepared
For what's in store
Do I have your attention
Do I have the floor
Just making sure
For sure, you're
You're a little uncertain
You're even unconcerned
Oh but you're concerned
With what you earn
You're a little pretentious
I'm a bit perturbed
Nature provides undisturbed
Whoa baby I started a fire
A fire in my mind I started
And I can't put it out
I'm so full of doubt
I found out, look out
These thoughts are just mental illusion
Your ego playing out its confusion
How could you be so sure of yourself
How long you been exploring yourself
Not long, not nearly long enough
To say you're a master
A master of your own disaster
That's just where it's leading you to
I see a revolution bleeding on through
The last ingredient is faith in myself
Expedientially I'll view the path exceeding from hell
Moving up one space in the game
The circle completes itself and then you do it again

Even amidst crazy times.
We all still must live our lives.
So take it easy on one another.
We're all equal in our ignorance.

This is a gift for you
Will you accept?
Just take a risk or two
Don't second guess
Cause you know that's none or all
Some sooner ready to hear the call
I believe in this miracle
You say you're sure, are you really though
You see me moving in your space and time
I believe, I believe in life
How far will you go
Will it be the same
When you're gone?
How far will you go
Will it be the same
When you're gone?

(_ Lyrics _)
I sing songs for somebody else
Think you're not good enough to hang with the best
Recurring themes loop around in my head
Before too long I can forget what I did
Do I belong
Do I have a place in your life
Can I perform
A miracle before your eyes
Do you approve, do I have your consent
Am I a charm you can wear round your neck
Embrace your skin and caressed by your breath
Cause when it stops there'll be not one thing left
Do I belong
Do I have a place in your life
Can I perform
A miracle before your eyes

I am a drop in his infinite ocean
Blowing on the breeze

I find myself completely devotion
All I am is this

I seek a world in peace
In peace

In peace
I'm in a world of peace
In peace
I am a world in peace
In peace
