"From Time"

"Doing It Wrong"

"Take Care"

"And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still/ So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase/ Big girls all get a little taste/ Pushing me away so I give her space/ Dealing with a heart that I didn't break." 

"Best I Ever Had"

"Houstatlantavegas"

"She doesn't ever worry If she wants it, she'll get it on her own/ She knows, there's more to life And she's scared, of ending up alone."

"Marvin's Room" 

"Fuck that nigga that you love so bad/I know you still think about the times we had/ I say fuck that nigga that you think you found/ And since you picked up, I know he's not around."
