Inner Space 03:21
Chorus 2x Atabey-ah Atabey Verse 1 We were born from the universe Stardust and rainbows Traveling galaxies like shooting stars Sent to earth to share light and wisdom As a collective spreading love and creation Chorus 2x Atabey-ah Atabey Verse 2 Don’t try and make me believe That the creator doesn’t love me Because I love her and him and they and we Stand in solidarity like the sequoia tree Cut it down and we’ll grow back from the seeds Chorus 2x Atabey-ah Atabey Verse 3 Nurturing Mother Earth until they’re forced to see We are magic and we’ll keep rising like children do Bending gender roles and gender rules Breathe with me mi gente And chant with me like this Chorus 2x Atabey-ah Atabey

Spirit Party Verse 1 Waking up early Feeling hella worthy Gotta take care of This sacred body Open my third eye Earning my clarity Telling me there’s something more than what they’re showing me Telling me there’s something more than what they’re showing me Telling me we’re something Pre Hook Galaxy speak to me Yoni’s wide open Receiving this energy Passion in my veins I’m ready for this day Chorus 2x Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe) Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe Om) Verse 2 Daily affirmation Guided transformation Spirit flowing through me Kundalini release me Release me Release me And heal me Om Lift me up completely Divine connection This is my salvation Pre Hook Galaxy speak to me Yoni’s wide open Passion in my veins I’m ready for this day Chorus 2x Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe) Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe Om) Verse 3 Ancestors speak to me As I’m sitting here mind’s racing feeling panicky I need to center release this energy in this world They tell you self-destruct and just let it burn but I feel the earth in waves Surrender to her vibes I feel her in my body telling me just get high With every breath I take Exhaling love not hate I surrender what Genie needs Levitate Bye sorrows Let ‘em drift Blow a kiss Man life’s a trip But I’m here now Exist in all my greatness I’ll be ok as long as I keep meditating Keep my focus on music and always self-care No room for bullshit and please no negative wear Embrace the journey with a positive notion dodgin friction I’m flying high now Goddess loud in all my blessings Goddess loud in all my blessings Chorus 2x Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe) Masturbate, Meditate, Manifest, Repeat (Breathe Om)

My Skin 01:20
I’m blessed To be the color of sand The ocean often mistakes me for home The same ocean where My ancestors took their final resting place The peaceful Taíno Slaughtered They want our culture But they don’t want us They want to erase our history They don’t want us On every return to my island I must lay still And become the sand I must welcome the ocean I must be home for their souls We share the same skin

Chorus: 2x Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelations Revelations Verse 1: Yo They label us seductress, temptress Using our bodies over minds Exploiting our lives But really we're revolutionaries Our blood spilled on this earth As sacrifice for missionaries The peaceful Taíno a race colonized and raped Mutated Indigenous, African, Spaniard hate Little did they know created a master race Filled with strength, spirit and grace They wanna build a wall Have us work this land Clean their homes Raise their kids while they dream and plan But now we're speaking in government office We're teachers, doctors, artists, mothers and fathers In touch with our roots Police please don't shoot We're not the enemy exist thrive in harmony Instead they want us down But Gods and Goddxsess They fear us They hear us We're standing proud Chorus: 2x Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelations Revelations Verse 2: Revelación con sentimiento Porque lo siento.... Condenado en este momento, No me arrepiento Pongo a pensar en el pasado Los movimientos que fueron raro Nos enseñaron A ser sirvientes Todo es un secreto Nada es claro Y por supuesto quieren dejarnos como esclavos Nunca despierto Nos engañaron Fueron los magos Y sin encargos somos los dioses Estamos en cargo Nuestro futuro lo tenemo en mano Somos divinos femeninas No me importa lo que opinan Traemos la disciplina Viviendo en harmonía Estrellas y las plantas naturalezas poesías Fíjate el daño que hacen los policías Políticos pastores robándonos to’ los días Haciéndonos pensar que es favores bien sorprendida Creemos en ladrones historia repetida Chorus: 2x Verse 3: Third eye’s wide shut Everything’s looking indigo Text books lying Where’s the story about them Indios? Funny what’s been rewritten to benefit an agendas Pretend to state the facts when you’re giving them lectures Let’s enter The truth in fact let’s bring it front and center So there’s no second guessing Next generation could fend for Becoming professors, astronauts, and even inventors Generational wealth Hand it down become investors The truth we gotta protect it We’re all effected The shift is turning, man is sharper, next is coexistence The kids are smarter Teach them not to harbor fear and hate How to meditate Look within for answers, how to acclimate Previously they tried to divide us and segregate History is bound to repeat if we sit and wait Classism is racism now, they manipulate Through the image on TV save the human race Save Us

Genie 02:08
At age ten I began to hate my body As blood flowed from my flower Onto basketball shorts I was paralyzed with fear My tall trans now sister More feminine than I at the time Taught me how a pad works Holding it under the faucet While it swelled with water My body Scarred and scabbed Has betrayed me How could I climb trees Running screaming wildly With this bulk Taped to my underwear Little did I know Breast would come Followed by hair Everywhere My body Hips sprouted overnight Boys No longer wanted to smear mud Under our eyes And fight like lost boys They now gawked at my overfilled breast And my awkward stance How could my body become so foreign Why had she deceived me Maybe I would’ve found comfort knowing She wouldn’t abandon me Through this transformation Together We would conquer more than this period Sexism Racism Homophobia Sexual assault Abusive relationships Through it all Like an architect Construction her resilience She protected the soul that we share I love her

Verse 1 I speak this without being bitter Healing takes time and now I’m seeing clearer My first memories are Full of neglect, abuse, trauma, and scars I’m healing Generational curses My mother’s mental neurosis My father’s heroin doses Foster homes and then homeless Monsters are real He came every night just to fill me with fear I’m amazed that I’m here Counting blessings each year Keep my ancestors near Spirit guides let them steer And if you’re not here It’s cause you’re toxic as fuck And enough is enough I had no choice but to be tough Grew like a lotus From muddy waters and darkness I learned to be soft Strong roots and scars And even on those darkest nights My beauty’s seen from the stars Chorus My beauty is seen There is strength In the things I’ve lived There is strength In my gentleness My gentleness Verse 2 My aura’s infinite like nebula Sent to Atabey I hail from the Boricua Y mira no soy pendeja What doesn’t serve me I leave Before it sinks me en la tierra I used to hate my body Binging and purging And purging the pain Now I moisturize my back fat And dimples on my ass fat With love that’s divine I honor my gaze Respect my God body Or get the fuck out my way Some days I struggle Meditate to stay humble Pick myself when I stumble My vision set on tunnel And listen If you caused me pain I forgive you I love you But also fuck you And I pray for you I thank you For the lessons I gained I’m hype At shows now people know my name I struggle with my worth And I’m still learning to love me first I hope the same for you And always know your worth Chorus My beauty is seen There is strength In the things I’ve lived There is strength In my gentleness My gentleness Bridge I’m learning I’m flawed I’m growing my heart Perfection is false My mind is enough My body’s enough Chorus My beauty is seen There is strength In my gentleness There is strength In the things I've lived There is strength In my gentleness My gentleness

I often return To the moment you appeared Before my heart You awakened a fire within me That I thought had blown out Since then I haven’t been the same Better and worse since that day Your energy calls The feminine best within me Desire coursing through me I have no control My body’s Constantly aching Your scent Is so familiar to me now My favorite Is how it lingers on my skin After you’re long gone I only crave to be your peace Fantasy Your what if Your favorite song And whiskey on moist lips But really We played pretend And I told myself It was enough Stolen kisses In dark spaces In the light I’m alone It was all a bluff You see I thought Because you weren’t mine You could never shatter me On a pedestal I placed you So blindly But I wanna rise to love Love that builds me Brings me to my highest being I must release your name From my soul Remind myself I’ll never be yours Nevermore Nevermore Never More

Verse 1 Was this morning real Was it you who Took this space and memory With me Euphoria Could it be I close my eyes Summon you Back to me Our legs tangled My face Buried in your neck Breathing in deeply Desperate for your scent Twisting your curls Between my fingertips While my honey Still drips from your lips Chorus I yearn to hear you love me Wrap my body My soul Once more Don’t go Nevermore Verse 2 And now my pillows cold And I’m all alone With these tears and energy With me Lied to myself It could be But she’s the one And I’m here The lonely one Love Replaced with The reality Of what we are A mere fantasy Making love Secretly Hidden in dark corners Never to evolve But I wanna rise in love Let go Of this all Chorus I yearn to hear you love me Wrap my body My soul Once more Don’t go Nevermore

Travel Deep within Until there is no difference Between our Daydreams And our Reality What’s real What’s fake Who are we to judge Mother earth is full Of magick medicine And space For soul searching Feel the earth Under your feet While the breeze whispers What path you seek The answers Are already in the spaces Of your mind Your third eye Listen Do you hear the drums Of your ancestors Beating within your heart Let go Like Alice And fall Fall Fall You are here You are the universe Breathe in And breathe out

Verse 1 Bubbles bursting Visions lurking Looking for the green tower With the curtain Seeking courage through poppy fields Hazy love Brain’s on fire Monkey’s flying Witches from above Skipping freely Reality’s grabbing at me but I shake it off Entranced by beauty Adventures in Oz I know it’s temporary I’ll wake eventually Be here Be now Exist in all this ecstasy I weave what’s for me Be it real Or fake I let the high take me to a greater state of mind Elevating my conscious ambition Human verses spirit What I see and feel Contradicting Pre Hook Lion’s and tigers and bears Oh my Lion’s and tigers and bears Lion’s and tigers and bears So high No fears I dance with beasts in my dreams Like running Chorus Running down Running down this yellow brick road Running to a place I don’t know With eyes closed Running Running down Running down this yellow brick road Leaving everything that I know With eyes closed Verse 2 Open your eyes Can’t be petrified Know some truths ain’t justified Gotta tip the scale So all our dreams Can just materialize Knowledge kept me energized Lions, tigers, bears oh my Caught up in the jungle Stevie wonder How some people blind To facts When savage beasts tell lies Meditate to synchronize See the revolution May be streamed Instead of televised Catch us pon di road Running Looking for fools gold When the treasure That we been looking for Been right under our soles Gotta shape our own reality Shatter poor mentalities Break these wicked hexes Ask our ancestors for blessings I ain’t working towards perfection But I’ll always give the best of me Cooking up some magic I can’t give up On my recipes Pre Hook Lion’s and tigers and bears Oh my Lion’s and tigers and bears Lion’s and tigers and bears So high No fears I dance with beasts in my dreams Like running Chorus Running down Running down this yellow brick road Running to a place I don’t know With eyes closed Running Running down Running down this yellow brick road Leaving everything that I know With eyes closed

Verse 1 Went to bed Feeling kinda lonely But I know I know I’m still holy With morning rise In my God body Sip my tea Alkaline this energy I feel so new Full of prosperity Abundance and love Love for myself Earth and humanity Just let it go All that’s not serving me Chorus Growing and healing and Breathe You’ll fly Growing and healing and Breathe You'll rise Verse 2 Crystals aligned Charging in this morning rise I can’t deny Their power source energize Selenite, quartz, Maybe tigers eye Hidden in my bra Protecting me from evil eyes I keep my feet grounded In the sea of trees I hear the spirits talking I sing their melody Planting seeds of love Stop white supremacy Mother earth is calling Don’t ignore her pleas We’re indigo beings Full of a light source So burn that sage Watch it rise Feel that life force Ancestral magic flowing I feel it in my bones I can’t resist the call Their words are now my own Let the light inside The sun is healing Don’t compromise You’re worth the healing You're traumatized Let the love fill you Now rise Chorus Growing and healing and Breathe You’ll fly Growing and healing and Breathe You'll rise Verse 3 I had to get my mind right Realize that I am light Let pain from the past Go and blur my third eyesight But My vibe higher now Reflecting on my lower self You let a lot things slide When you don’t Know your wealth I had to dive deeper Love things That made me hate me All that time In my darkness Still couldn’t shake me All them knives In my chakra Still couldn’t break me From my root To my crown I honor that which made me Spiritual growth Ain’t for the weak In the soul From this hardship Who knew that A flower would grow Pushing through the purpose And when the dust settles Don’t ask me how I did it Admire my damaged Petals Let the light fill you You made from God love That’s how she built you You could conquer kingdoms If you have the will to With roots like these They could never steal you Chorus Growing and healing and Breathe You’ll fly Growing and healing and Breathe You'll rise Breathe Breathe
