HEAVY ON MY MIND (FEAT. WALE) LYRICS:
It takes patience to know when to stop
It takes wisdom to know when not to say goodbye It takes courage to see that you and me
Have run our course
Love ain’t easy
It weighs heavy on my mind
It weighs heavy on my mind (so heavy on my mind) Heavy on my mind (so heavy all the time)
Because I stay up waiting saving my love for you
It’s gonna be a wonderful summer Folarin Ralph
Sorry Charlie Murphy was having too much fun
They say you do too much when you tryna pursue the one
Im tryna find the balance
A balance of going goofy
A tutu could never suit me so truly you know what’s up
Dearly I love you dearly but clearly you dont see it
Fear of underachieving may lead to overthinking
yeah you got me but you got your freedom (High and free)
You hope im joking i hope you single
I fear you dont need me
Aware Im only dreaming
It’s weird I caught feelings by looking at magazines, I chill (chill) And then you running through my mind again
You and I are just a concept yeah
But I am hypnotized by them gold green eyes
I would die to be your contact yeah
I try to keep it light, be polite but its like you aint mine yet?
Until next time
Heavy on my mind (so heavy on my mind)
Heavy on my mind (so heavy all the time)
Because I stay up waiting waiting now saving my love for you
Its unusual doing usual things
And now it’s time to float
All the clouds have been waiting for me to ascend (they know who you are)
It weighs heavy on my mind
Heavy on my mind (so heavy on my mind)
Heavy on my mind (so heavy all the time)
Because I stay up waiting saving my love
Its so it’s so heavy on my mind (so heavy on my mind)
Heavy on my mind mind
Cause I stay up waiting saving my love for you (so heavy on my mind)
(stop playing with me)
Heavy on my mind
(like you ain’t elevating with me)
Heavy on my mind
(and I’m grateful for your patience but I’m anxious really) Because I stay up waiting
(so say it to me)
Saving my love
(you got it shawty)
For you")

To hear more stories on America’s legacy of racial injustice, visit http://lynchinginamerica.eji.org, a project from the Equal Justice Initiative with support from Google.
Andra Day covers the iconic song Strange Fruit.” Originally performed by Billie Holiday in 1939, the song protests lynching, a form of racial terror which took more than 4,000 African American lives and reinforced white supremacy. Most states have no memorials commemorating lynching sites, some of which are featured in this video.
Andra, in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative, sheds light on this difficult history and the ways that racial injustice continues. In order to move forward, we must confront our past.

BRICKS by Andra Day
What we do is what we do
Brick by brick thats how we move
No foundation
(building with bricks that we were never given)
I am your safe place (safe place)
(filling the places we were never filled in) And you are my treasure
Who can say its not a miracle
What we do is what we do
(Painting a picture we never envisioned)
We built what we’ve never seen before
(Forgiving when we have never known forgiveness)
Light came from the void
(Learning to hear when no one ever listened)
Who can say we’re not a miracle
Learning to heal when no one ever healed, healed us
She produced a miracle
Hands of pain and grace unfold
Empty but she filled you
Giving you life that she was never given
And now Im so grateful
She made all things possible
A firm foundation
Believing when her world gave nothing to believe (to believe in)
What we do is what we do
And brick by brick thats how we move New foundation
(built with bricks that we were never given)

Forever Mine Lyrics:
My heart has been a chessboard
Making moves and losing out
Played so many times before
And there ain’t nothing to brag about
But this must be a new brew
When you’re gone I’m singing Blue Moon
You turn me all the way around
And I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be
Forever mine (Be forever mine)
Be forever mine (Be forever mine)
Oh and there’s nothing I can sing now
That ain’t been sung before
Oh but your love is a standout
So go on ahead and take the floor
You had to Jimi my heart loose
Now I’m stuck in your voodoo
Pick me up, don’t ever put me down
Look I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, to be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
I want you to be forever mine (be forever mine)
The way that you move, never seen it before
Looking for my head, can’t find it no more
You ransom my heart and I get the reward
Winning the crown like a Trojan horse
I come back, back, back every time
You got me shook like the Mobb when they rhyme
Come out of nowhere come blessing my life
I just want you to be forever mine, oh oh
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
But you was cooking up a new stew
Must have put something in my food
’Cause now I’m lost up in the clouds
Oh and I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be, be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
Oh you gotta be, be forever mine (be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)")

Lyrics:
He dont know I call him the teacher
He had a hard lesson for the kid
I get I put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heartaches
Now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (2X)
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what’s his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about
His face when truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me I get that now
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)")
