about

My newest track "Gypsy" is a labor of love that was inspired by a deep need to create a record that encompassed energy, individuality and rebellion. This is an anthem for anyone struggling to be understood or wanting to fit in. It's a dead-end so you may as well live and write your own rules. I wanted to write a song that I needed to hear growing up. Hopefully you realize it's a message in it for you too.

lyrics

Gypsy

No matter what you do
Refuse to be defined

So you say it's hard being a woman
Cuz I know it's hard being a fella
Super duper hard being a rainbow
Even harder being people of Color
Everyday somebody wanna be normal
Superficial people making you bitter
If you done sucking up the air
Then take my picture

We don't need yo titles
We don't need yo labels
We don't live in boxes
Feet up on the table

Gypsy

Sugar must of been twenty-five
Tryna live his life by Daddy rulеs
Whole time Daddy miserablе
His marriage sing the blues
Beat your mug (Yep)
Brush your hair (Hmph)
Hurry up cause I'm downstairs (Damn)
Because we're having drinks on me tonight
Don't wear no underwear
(Ah-oop)
I wanna show you how to get into trouble
Henny Black neat
Make it a double
We're gonna live it like you never knew
With mother nature
Dutches too
Bring a pen in case you gettin' some action
Me and you
Will paint the town with matches
You know we gotta party in the VIP
That's where the action happens

We don't need yo titles
We don't need yo labels
We don't live in boxes
Feet up on the table (Feet up on the table)

Gypsy

Don't you spend your life
Confined to rules
You only get one shot
Go hard for you
So make your splash today

So you say it's hard being a woman
Cuz I know it's hard being a fella
Super duper hard being a rainbow (Ooh chile shut yo mouth)
Even harder being people of Color (Yeah yeah yeah)
Everyday somebody wanna be normal
Superficial people making you bitter
If you done sucking up the air
Then take my picture

We don't need yo titles
We don't need yo labels
We don't live in boxes
Feet up on the table

Aye....

Gypsy

Turn the phone off
Lose the heels

Ditch that tie
And skip those bills
Cause you're paying YOU some rent tonight
The party's over here
Take a shot of JD for me (Gypsy Gypsy that damn Gypsy Baby Oohwee)
DJ mixing this shit like House Party
That's the best advice I have for you
Don't worry it's on me

So you say it's hard being a woman
Cuz I know it's hard being a fella
Super duper hard being a rainbow
Even harder being people of Color
