I'm on a mission. Abolish mysoginistic visions. Ig'nance is bliss and I'm taking that happiness and fistin'. I gotchu wishin'? (WELL) I'm shittin' in your wishin well. Kiss my ass, kiss and tell: I'm uncommodified even tho sex sells. Jezebel was never my name. That station that that train of thought runs through can get set to flames and rearranged cus I'm not here to make you feel good, hood, or keep you on wood (like you think I should) I'm tryna make you feel like...

Nobody wants to deal... Nobody wants to deal with the... Nobody wants to deal with the sad girl... 'Cept Bessie & Muddy & BB & Howlin' Wolf, Satchmo & Ella & Billie & Ray too.. Tears on Vinyl Brand New... Nobody wants to feel... Nobody wants to feel with their... Nobody wants to feel with their heart no more... I love my radio, it gets the pain to go. If I were a radio, oh, I'd probably prefer to spin the Blues.. I love my radio, it gets the pain to go. If I were a radio, oh, I'd probably prefer to spin the Blues.. Something tears me apart in the dark and I crumble, Stumbling for a hand or a mumble to save me... (Then I spin vinyl brand new) Now I'm brought back to Earth, back to primal. Birth via tribal, vinyl survival (In love with vinyl brand new) I love my radio, it gets the pain to go. If I were a radio, oh, I'd probably prefer to spin the Blues.. I love my radio, it gets the pain to go. If I were a radio, oh, I'd probably prefer to spin the Blues..

Dance 02:37

All I hear is dance All I see is dance All I hear is dance All I feel is dance Each day I rise, I try, I guide my weary life laid down to rest, inside this chest breathes no mundane just pain, insane I chose to do it again. Tensions climbing, the right timing, visions blinding, I think I needa drink Rhythm chiming, divine timing, senses winding, and all I see is dance... All I hear is dance All I see is dance All I hear is dance All I feel is dance One day I rose, I chose to pose my weary heart a warm embrace, this chase, a waste bin filled with glee, with plea. I fled.. In hopes to do it again. Tensions climbing, just bad timing, visions blinding, I think I need a shrink Rhythm chiming, divine timing, senses winding, and all I see is dance... All I hear is dance All I see is dance All I hear is dance All I feel is dance

Afternoon Daydreams 03:04
lyrics

Some people call me a saint. Some people say I'm a savage. One time I dated a saint. But he had too much baggage. Thought he was boarding a plane, a Boeing with the horse & carriage. Little did he know, this fighter jet was fit to ravage. Everything I touch bleeds. Wet seeds and empty cups, I spit shells. You thought you knew me too well. I fell off the richter. And you fell, fell a victim to it. Too crazy and too good. I shook you up, I'm glad I could. All is well in this hood, even when it's not. There's a jail cell under my hood's favorite chicken spot. My head swells at the thought of all the empty vacant lots where cops do donuts and eat donuts as men get shot. Black men. Black pen, blue ink. In the blink of an eye, yet another nigga dies. Ask why when you cry & it hits too close to home. Catch you mourning in the morning cus it hit too close to home. Locked up in the basement... it hit too close to home. The fear you breathe, they taste it. It could hit too close to home. ~ All the birds are dying and the bees are dead too. Normal repercussions for the things that we do for all these francs, yens, pesos & diamonds. Dollar signs, pounds, gold, euros & diamonds. ~ I know a lotta dem aint, eating much more than cabbage. When you don’t learn ya mistakes, then you eat like a rabbit. My jackets matching these days in a haze of fly… People feed their ego till it looks them in the eye. Pokes em in they eye, chokes em then they die. That third line of vision getting spit it before the fire, look, look at the smoke and mirrors, peep the screen and the sky too, If it’s an illusion, well let’s take a peek behind door two. Divine feminine on a tightrope. Melanin or a diet coke? Pussy pop or die broke? Colloquial or a synonym? Coaching all of your women friends to sin again, to win again, and bend again, and thin, and then again… Black girls. black worlds, blue drink. In the blink of an eye, yet another shorty tries to ask why as she cries & it hits too close to home. Catch you mourning she won’t see morning cus she didn’t make it home. Locked up in the basement... it hit too close to home. The fear she breathe, you taste it. It could hit too close to home.

Romance is glorified, I look around at my friends, its got me horrified.. No desire to pretend like I wanna be tied down. Its absurd, its unheard of, I’m as free as a bird I’m the shit, 22, ambitious, never blue. We can chill if you’re cool but don’t get caught up being foolish. Im about my money, I aint movin' funny, baby girl is driven, focused on winning, manifestin my visions babe. I like sippin' wine with you, rollin up and stayin' up. I like spending time with you, pullin' up and laying up but I’ll say it again, I don't really want a man, I don’t really want a man (x2) I thought we talked about it. I drew the boundary line, you tried to walk around it. You gonn' make me lose my mind with all your fuckin' poutin'. Already knew what it was, already knew that I does me. I’m workin. Nigga, I’m workin. You could stay butthurt but.. #NeverNotWorkin. Im about my money, I aint movin' funny, baby girl is driven, focused on winning, manifestin' my visions babe. I like sippin' wine with you, rollin up and stayin' up. I like spending time with you, pullin' up and laying up but I’ll say it again, I don't really want a man, I don’t really want a man (x2)

Coitus Waltz in G Major 02:59

Emotions taking a hold of me, control of me, explodingly. Your gaze is melting a hole in me, We’re prone to meet, insiiiide. Right over me, you’re folding meeeee… Your touch is melting a hole in me, I want, I need, in-sliiiide. A minute in and you’re choking me, Wide open we move rhy-thi-mic-ally. Your essence breaking the mold, you see. As you’re stroking deep, I riiiide. Alone with me, wish ya’d never leaveeee…. Your essence making the mold baby, You eat, you feed my miiiind. Steadily in zone as we, lie indolently in this fantasy. Amazed you've taken a toll on me. Light the doja, b. Get high. Feelin’ free, like royalty.. Readily in zone with me, Cypher complete, deep sighhhh.

[VERSE 1] Wild child up in the fast lane.. Sometimes I wonder where the gas came from. Tryna resist all of my savage-dom but Sometimes I flip and then the damage’s done. [PREHOOK 1] The savage one don’t do me dirty. I’m a sweetheart unless you hurt me I’ve been on my peas and cues though, you heard me, but fuck around I’ll leave you straight like 1230. [HOOK x2] How many licks does it take to fuck you up? You know I'm out of my mind... (You really don't want it) I'm tryna change up my ways, don't fuck it up. I'll go and polish my 9... (You really don't need it) [VERSE 2] Wild child up in the tame impala, bumpin Tame Impala With your baby mama chopped up in the backseat I caught her at your daughter‘s track meet, trappin' quarter waters out the jeep. [PREHOOK 2] Dont sleep. You really thought you could play me I see, The one the only HBIC I’ve been on my peas and cues though, you heard me, but fuck around I’ll leave you straight like 1230. [HOOK x2] How many licks does it take to fuck you up? You know I'm out of my mind... (You really don't want it) I'm tryna change up my ways, don't fuck it up. I'll go and polish my 9... (You really don't need it) [BRIDGE/BREAKDOWN x2] First rule about Fight Club: Don't talk about Fight Club Cus you don't want all the consequence, Ambien's inside my hands. Gunna turn over a new leaf, a new life, And that'll be the end of it....

Wandering this lonely road Don't know what the future holds... Winding down this staircase Looked, but there's no escape... Wandering this lonely lonely road Don't know what the future holds... Wine makes sure my hands shake Bread soaks up the heartache... Wandering this lonely road Don't know what the future holds I'm whining like a baby Only I can save me...

about

A musical time-capsule of songs written by THEakasha from 2012 to 2016 during her time at Temple University.

Following the release of THEakasha’s 2014 mixtape HIGHSCHOOL, this album is an exceptionally produced project. COLLEGE gives us a peek into THEakasha’s mind as she reflects and explores more mature themes of control, self preservation, Black feminine joy and Black feminine rage, and uncertainty.

//

"A collection of songs that I wrote in college that have been taking up a large amount of real estate in the creative part of my heart. Time to just put them out so I can start working on more music that align with where I am in my life at 27 years old. Hope you enjoy." -- THEakasha
