Imagine
Written and Performed by Tyrone Stokes |
INTRO
Imagine your life,
The world,
And everything thing else in between
Was put into a machine that,
Changed reality to something even realer
And set things right…
But ‘til then let’s imagine
VERSE 1:
Imagine a world where
The lyrics to every song
Were written with a purpose
See the pen could do no wrong
Cause everybody’s writing from the heart,
Specifically…
Thinking critically about their feelings written lyrically
Imagine a place where
Single fathers,
Were talked about just as much as single mothers
Cause not too many people understand,
That we weren’t all raised by our mothers
Yet I stand here a man
Imagine a life where
Love was everywhere,
Especially in the home
As a kid and when you’re grown
And when you’re finally on your own
You understand that you were loved,
And that there’s people who will miss you
When you’re gone
Listen up…
And imagine a world where
You couldn’t be stopped from reaching your goals
As long as you had good in your heart
And everyone knows,
That you were meant to succeed
So they don’t have problem helping you out
To achieve…
See they know you were meant to succeed
So they don’t have problem helping you out
To achieve…
Can you imagine…
CHORUS
Imagine your life,
The world,
And everything thing else in between
Was put into a machine that
Changed, reality to something even realer
And set things right…
But ‘til then let’s imagine
Your life,
The world,
And everything thing else in between
Was put into a machine that
Changed, reality to something even realer
And set things right…
But ‘til then let’s imagine… |

Mind, Body and Spirit - Rap Lyrics by Lyrically Twisted
VERSE 1:
I’m giving you the gospel
Call it the good news
Since you got free will
It’s time that you choose
To listen
To your mind, body and spirit
Put your hands in the sky
If you could feel it
My words
Are the realest when rapping them for the Lord
I do this for the ones
Who don’t know what they’re looking for
But don’t worry
Cause God’s got your back
And it’s a fact
That it always comes down to the mind
VERSE 2:
It’s time to be the best
All that you could be
Just open your mind
To the love that is he
He’ll never lead you wrong
And he’ll make you see
How the mind
Body and Spirit like 1, 2, 3
Is the only way to go
You should feel it in your soul
If you ain’t got those
Then you really wouldn’t know
Your body is a temple
And you got to treat it right
Fill your mind with knowledge
And live with faith combined with your mind
BRIDGE:
You see your Mind, your Body and your Spirit
They all work together
In order to help you with the obstacles you might face in life
So whenever you feel like you’ve lost your way, just sing these words come on! |

Dream Life
Written and Performed by Tyrone Stokes
VERSE 1:
Let me take you on a journey
Through my minds eye,
And just imagine a life
That feels so right
Where you ain’t gotta worry ‘bout
Finances
And I ain’t talking rich—
I’m just saying you ain’t broke
And no this ain’t a joke
But I think it’s kind of funny that,
People think the only goal in life
Is getting money when,
They ain’t even loving what they doing
They just slave away
And I don’t know about you,
But I’mma find a way
To take flight
Cause your boy is on a Mission...
No Wale
But your boy got Ambition
And they hate it
I could see it on they faces,
They could be making moves
But they stay complacent
So tell me what you really all about,
Where you see your life
5 or 10 years from now?
And I’mma keep on grinding
Cause my life doesn’t seem right
So my Dream Life’s
The only thing in my sights like…
CHORUS:
It’s my life
So I live it to the fullest…
Making sure
That I’m living for me
Through this music
I’mma change the world
And I’mma do it the way that I want to do it
Cause I saw it in my dreams
The happiest that I had ever been…
That’s how I know I’mma do this ’til the end
So when they ask
Why I’m grinding every night…
It’s cause I saw me
Living my Dream Life
VERSE 2:
Most of the time
I imagine just chilling,
Watching the waves
From my beach house in Venice
Next to my fire place
Kicking up my feet
Spending time with my queen
While we listening to beats
On my Spotify playlist...
Call me basic
But I feel at home in my home
So I make it
A point to never travel too much
Like a Vagrant
Plus I got the luxury to do it
Cause I've made it!
To the top
Of the mountain I been climbing yo
Never took a sick day
Since I started rhyming so
This what I get
For the work that I been putting in
Everything I wanted
Cause there’s nothing that I couldn’t get
See I’m on the only factor when it comes to that
So you’ll never catch me drop the ball
Cause I’m that a running back
You ain’t never seen
I’m a fiend with a Dream
Getting it by any means
It ain’t nothing but a… thing
CHORUS:
It’s my life
So I live it to the fullest…
Making sure
That I’m living for me
Through this music
I’mma change the world
And I’mma do it the way that I want to do it
Cause I saw it in my dreams
The happiest that I had ever been…
That’s how I know I’mma do this ’til the end
So when they ask
Why I’m grinding every night…
It’s cause I saw me
Living my Dream Life |

Nile’s Smile – Rod McNeill - Vocals
On a cold and lonely evening and I’m feeling pretty low. I’ve called all my friends and there’s nowhere I can go I get back to the moment you came into my life And suddenly all is brighter I can make it through the strife
It’s your smile, It’s your smile
We all have choices to take the right or left Yours was to live completely and your left nothing on the shelf
Bridge
Feelings sometime bring us down especially when were sad
But you lied above the clouds and proved that love can help us fly
In the coming future, when time is king no more
We will walk together on heavens healing shore
Most will be forgotten but some will linger still
Bridge
So much knowledge in your life, wise beyond you years
So amazing just to see, how you rose above your fears
Most will be forgotten but some will linger still
One thing is for certain and will be there until
It’s your smile, it’s your smile. |

Do What You Love
Written and Performed by Tyrone Stokes |
VERSE 1:
I get excited every time
I get the chance to hit the road
I love performing in a place
That I ain’t never been before
Cause I be itching for places to go
Putting on a show in any city that I’m at
I’ll even do it for the low
Cause I just do this art
More importantly the experience,
Put your hands up in the sky,
If you’re feeling this
Cause it’s about to go down
In case you didn’t know now
I hail from Pomona City
But it’s time to go now cause…
I feel like traveling
Is how you live life,
Where you could coast
To where you wanna go or take flight
Spread your wings and soar,
Throughout the Earth’s Decor,
Until you get to view the beauty
Of the world from the shore
Of Hawaii or Jamaica
Or anywhere you could wake up
With the sand on your feet
But would you really wanna sleep?
Away one third of your life?
I’m looking for the light
So I could never close my eyes
And let time pass me by…
Cause really in reality
I feel like seeing the world
Is just a part of my anatomy
I feel it in my soul,
It’s makes me wanna go
That’s why I’m always ready while I’m gettin’ set
It’s like my life is show…
And I continue to grow,
Every single day
And sometimes I try to slow,
The time… down…
So I can take a break,
To take a look around
And evaluate exactly where I’m headed on this journey
But I’m hoping at the rate I’m going
I ain’t gotta worry
About the path that I’m taking
Cause my vision’s never blurry
I could see that I’m happy
Cause I’m doing what I love!
CHORUS
[So] Just do what you love [love]
Do what you love [love]
Just do what you love [love]
Do what you love—
And climb to the top [to the top]
That’s how you climb to the top [to the top]
That’s how you climb to the top [to the top]
That’s how you climb to the top
Of the world— that you’re living on |
