“INSPIRATION + LOVE” LYRICS

VERSE 1 - Jarvis

A spat of blood hits the water

Slowly movin' down to the place where we started

Dreams rippling in the seas that we parted

Trickling down to the leaves that are rotten/It’s autumn

And on this cold night I’m fightin’ for my brothas

To stand up against the ones that never loved us

To fight against the waves/That try to keep us under

To find out ways/That kept us stronger

Cause our hunger/Outweighs the doubts

That we hear everyone try to speak about

We’re pushing forward/No holdin' back

Even if it means that we have to fade to black

We learn to adapt/Born to survive

You can see the love as it falls from our eyes

Creatin' from inside/Speakin’ ‘bout lives

Transitioning a new thought every time

Our souls unwind/We’re headin’ in our prime

Livin’ the life that has no design 

Our minds are the keys/We use to succeed

Breakin’ the struggles that you will never see

Cause we believe/In the things we do

And the people that connect from the art we do

No longer seeking acceptance from you

Cause we learned to stand up and express the truth

CHORUS - Que

You can go ahead and say what you want/But we never will fall

Our souls will carry us to the top/As we move through it all

Our passion and the love we need/Are things we use to

Succeed and break the boundaries/We are forced right into

VERSE 2 - Jarvis

Hearts/Beat/In line

With the/Sounds/Of our lives

Each/Step/We take

Another/Part/Resonates

Cause we move/Soaking in the wounds

Drinking from a life that we have not consumed

Looking at the moon/Carried in maroon

Thinking of the things we created in our room

We ‘bout to blow soon/howling nothing new

It’s the rise that makes you feel it too

The uncanny wit/We use to focus with

Builds up the model we shall not forget

Foaming at the tips/With passion on our lips

Kissing to a night that has altered our sight

Lighting up the road/The compass is our goals

Gathering up the courage we engrave in our souls

Our bodies form whole/Suckin’ in the holes

Giving back the power we need to explode

Eroding what we loath/To love what we know

Helps us carry the pride that show

Cause we owe/All the things we do

To the people we connected to

No longer seeking acceptance from you

We finally stood up/And express the truth

CHORUS - Que

“SUPERHEROES OF THE SUMMER” LYRICS

VERSE 1 - Jarvis

I can hear them scream…

I can hear them calling me…

And that can mean/Only one thing/That travesty/Is happening

I gotta get up/And grab my suit/Get the matchin’ boots/And head to the super coupe

The time is now/I gotta move and save the day now/So many villains that I gotta put away now

The cities in trouble cause of economy struggle

So I’m racing through these streets to help these people through rubble (come one)

So remain humble and stay calm through the jungle (yeah)

Cause we are here to make the evil disappear (we’re superheroes)

CHORUS - Jarvis

We’re superheroes/And we came to save the day now

We’re rescuing you/From all the old same sounds

The summers ours/So we’re cranking up that new sound

Que and Jay/And we the heroes of the summer now

VERSE 2 - Que

I see city/they lookin’ at my signal now

Wonderin’ when is Que gonna come fly down

My heart is racing/I can see a situation now

These evil doers tryin’ to takeover my towns grounds

So I grab my mask/wrap my cape/ready to save these lives at stake

I swoop down/The Que symbol taking action now (here I go)

Crime as no say in a superheroes way/Anytime/Any day/The hell you cause/It has no reign

This not game (game)/I will show pain (pain)/Anything necessary in a superheroes name

The day is saved/The kids can play/Oh thank you, thank you/Our glory has came (we’re superheroes)

BRIDGE VERSE 1 – Jarvis

The sun comes down/It’s all dark around

I can feel my nemesis lurking around the town

We must stop him now/We gotta put’em down

Are you ready Que to save the whole city now

BRIDGE VERSE 2 – Que

Yo Jay, I see him

We can beat him

The dynamic duo

We cannot be defeated

I fly the skies

You take the grounds

Whatever/Together

We take him down (we’re superheroes)

CHORUS - Jarvis

We’re superheroes/And we came to save the day now

We’re rescuing you/From all the old same sounds

The summers ours/So we’re cranking up that new sound

Que and Jay/And we the heroes of the summer now

LYRICS

VERSE 1 - Jarvis

This summer/I’m going away/I’m not coming back/Goodbye today

My eyes have seen/Another life/So I leave tonight/I’ll be outta sight

Cause if you seen/What I’ve seen/Then you would too/Vanish soon

I found my place/In this space/No shadow parts/In outer space

Cause I/Finally had to realize/That I appreciated your lies/When I hid inside and buried all my pride

I believed in what you preached/Even memorized the speech/Boy was I weak/Just following the sheep

But no more tonight/Cause I built my spaceship right/So I’m about to take my flight/And head for the light

Cause after spending weeks/Speaking with the unique/I know I can reach/A new love tonight

CHORUS - Que

And I know (I know)/That there’s (that there’s)

Something (something)/Out there (out there)

And I know (I know)/That there’s (that there’s)

Secrets (secrets)/To this world (to this world)

VERSE 2 - Jarvis

I hit lights/I breath in twice/This could be/My final fight

I walk out brave/I up strong/the only way/I can write these wrongs

Cause if you seen/What I’ve seen/Then you would too/Vanish soon

I look back once/I breath again/I punched the code/And ignite the winds

Cause I/Finally had to realize/That a man don’t hide/Hide behind disguise/And believe in those lies

That’s why I close my eyes/Focus on my mind/And listen to it express/The real truth inside

Cause I’m wasting no more time/As soon as I leave the skies/I’m about to accept my life/Being on the outside

Cause after spending weeks/Speaking with the unique/I know I can reach/A new love tonight

CHORUS - Que

LYRICS

VERSE 1

My visions gettin’ clearer now/My mind is startin’ to let it go/The pain I suffered/Just faded an hour ago

I’m startin’ to learn/That a dream ain’t easy to hold/But I suppose it’s a part of the line I chose

Then again what is pain to the ones who feel it/Believe in doubt or embrace the spiritual healin’

I know it’s different when you startin’ to look the ceilin’/In search of death/But you findin’ more reasons for livin’

So I stand up and let my feet touch the floor/Let the earth run it’s course seepin’ in my pours

I learned a lot sittin’ back and addin’ up the score/Now I know what I’m worth and I want more

No more gettin’ pushed like I did before/Life is short so I know one thing for sure

To the ones who ain’t never wanna accept you/Stand strong as you wisely say f**k you

I’m comin’ hard for the spot that you clutch to/Each step that you take is your last move

I can see it in your face that you know it too/This game that you played had to end soon

So soon you can feel the world crumble too/A part of life breaks off exists through your wound

A deep breath is the last thing you could do/Lights out/Fade to black/Let the new rule

CHORUS

And I just sit here and watch it die

Watch the world/watch it down slowly

What will I do to survive/How will I/Still arrive to be

VERSE 2

I don’t even know what I wanna be anymore/I just know for sure that I want my team to get it more

Get it more in name/Get it more in gain/Get it all the ways/That is consistently/Arguable/Driving you insane

I don’t want my peers to look at me the same/I’m headin’ to a place/that you cannot explain/And don’t worry

Cause I ain’t comin’ back again/I turn my back/And let the night guide my way

Damn/I know you think I got a mean spirit/Nah/I got a dream and I’m stickin’ wit it

And no dream is efficient/without a vision/And I don’t plain stopin’ until it’s finished

I had to swim in my soul to get redemption/Now I’m headin’ for my goal/No more wishin’

And I ain’t trippin’ on you fools who never listened/Gotta move as you learn from dumb decisions

I hope and pray that the one that matters is still with us/Cause this is only the beginnin’ of another livin’

I shed the skin/left a sin/for another minute/Now the game begins/and I’m about to win it

I gotta take it where another great didn’t get it/Pick the scraps/re-wrap/and add a new finish

I believed in the things that he represented/But as he fades/I’m the one who writes a new page

CHORUS (Repeated 2x)

LYRICS

Verse 1

I am awake/livin’ in a zone/searchin’ for the part/where my heart sits in stone/

I am alone/searchin’ for a reason/to stop myself/from fightin’ what I believe in/

But there’s no reason/for underachivin’/giving back to life where my love truly reached in/

No I’m not weepin’/I’m puttin’ down my feet and/lookin’ to the sky as I move before I leap in/

The dreams that I sleep in/got me rethinkin’/writin’ out the parts/realignin’ the sequence/

Lookin’ at my defense/lookin’ for my defects/understand my faults as I build on my weakness/

Cut from the deepness/tryin’ to complete this/structure of my brain/now I know why I sleepless/

Scars from a reflex/startin’ at the pretext/tryin’ to learn/I plunge to the deepest/

Parts of my mind/drowning in its steepness/water in my eyes/goin’ blind as I sink in/

Heart steady beatin’/worry as I breath in/whether I’ll die/tryin’ to chase what I believe in/

But I’m not leavin’/my dreams are not deceivin’/I move my arms forward/swim to the peak then/

Look to the east and/trust what I see and/rush to the part where my heart truly begins.

Verse 2

Some want money/­and others want fame/I just wanna crave my name up in the game/

And show that I changed/and learned to walk away/I only move forward/it’s the only way/

I never had luck as I went my own way/I just had the will to persevere through the pain/

Learnin’ from the greats/watchin’ for the fakes/now I’m ‘bout to rise/hold me back but you can’t/

Cause I’m liftin’ all the weight/ignoring what’s at stake/alotta people underestimate but I can’t/

Lead with my fate/tunnel through the hate/now they wanna smile/shake my hand but they ain’t/

They came too late/I’m callin’ checkmate/you burnt that bridge/now you own that mistake/

I saw your ways/tryin’ to invade/infect my vision/man I’m not gettin’ played/

Cause I’m goin’ all the way/fightin’ what you say/steady believin’ even if it means to my grave/

Never will cave/my heart remains brave/amongst the thoughts/you’ve been tryin’ to engrave/

I will not be enslaved/I’ve come a long way/the trail that I leave in the end will amaze/

I’ll never be phased/confined to your ways/I close my eyes and let my heart guide the way.
