welcome to my head
Words: Jasmin Mote
Music: Jasmin Mote & Daniel Hedberg
welcome to my head, it can get messy
tried to clean but shit i’m always stressing
my girl just had a baby, what a blessing
in my head, damn, i swear that we’re still eighteen
everyone i know are doing big things
running this race, just like it’s nothing
trynna catch up and just do something
be creative, have a plan but it’s not working so
they’re off to the stars
while i’m stuck up on mars
(oh) jealousy creeping
(oh no) look how she’s lurking
I try not to care, i say it’s all fair
I know their win is not my loss but still i compare oh no
jealousy creeping
here we are, i told you it gets messy
told my therapist that i can’t stop obsessing cause
everyone i know are doing big things
running this race, just like it’s nothing
they’re off to the stars
while i’m stuck up on mars
(oh) jealousy creeping
(oh no) look how she’s lurking
I try not to care, i say it’s all fair
I know their win is not my loss but still i compare oh no
jealousy creeping
homerun
Words: Jasmin Mote
Music: Jasmin Mote & Daniel Hedberg
i’m from a good home, curly hair, growing up
but as a kid, didn’t know, what to do with it
closed up, didn’t know what to feel
cause there was only
straight hair in the all white neighbourhood
tried to fit in and do the best that i could
my brown skin got me misunderstood
i’m playing with the cards that i’ve been dealt
and if it’s not the best hand that’s okay
i’m ready for whatever it may bring
(ready for it all)
I’m swinging every shot can’t miss em all
It’s gonna take some time might even fall
i’m ready for whatever it may bring
(ready for it all)
Shoutout to my sisters
I know it’s hard but you’re trying to
Shoutout to my brother
For taking on the role my dad couldn’t do
Many hearts broken
But my mom glued them all in one
So now we’re out here fighting
Tryna’ make this our best homerun
Grateful for the love that i got
praying for the ones that we lost
but somehow feeling guilty
that shit ain’t always easy so
I’m swinging every shot, can’t miss them all
It’s gonna take some time, might even fall
But i’m ready for whatever life/it may bring
Shoutout to my sisters
I know it’s hard but you’re trying to
Shoutout to my brother
For taking on the role my dad couldn’t do
Many hearts broken
But my mom glued them all in one
So now we’re out here fighting
Tryna’ make this our best home-run
Tryna’ make this our best homerun
best homerun
tryna’ make this our best homerun
best homerun
Shoutout to my sisters
I know it’s hard but you’re trying to

gold
Words: Jasmin Mote
Music: Jasmin Mote & Daniel Hedberg
starting now i’m only listening to me
sick and tired of people telling me who i should be
little Jazzy always out of line
too loud, wanted that spotlight
Older me learned how to stay in line
too shy needed to speak up my mind so
i would try and make sense of it
but she was never happy being someone else but her
(so my)
intuition took control of it
stepped it up now i’m on a ride
stayed in touch and walked with my pride
Look at her go
Look

but here i am spreading my gold
they’ll never mess with my flow
knowing that i am the next one,
acting like i own the world yeah
see mom i’m spreading my gold
showing you all how it’s done yeah
even though i’ve just begun huh,
i’ll take over, and win and be the one
little jazzy we should take a walk
I’ll hold your hand, come on, let’s have a talk
promise life will be beautiful
full of love and you’ll be so Grateful
Now everything makes sense, dont it? (Doesn’t it?)
stepped it up now i’m on a ride
stayed in touch and walked with my pride
look at her go
look
Cause they thought i couldn’t
but here i am spreading my gold
they’ll never mess with my flow
knowing that i am the next one, // ever since i was a girl huh,
acting like i own the world yeah
