Be Wise Verse 1 We’re surrounded by so many things That can make us do what’s wrong; so wrong Though it sometimes may be challenging Remember the words of this song Chorus Be wise You have to decide What to do when hard choices arise Be wise You have to realize That it’s not always easy for me to be wise Rap When a decision’ s hard and you don’t know what to do You have to use the wisdom inside of you You have to make a choice that’s either bad or good You should make the choice that a leader would You should Make it good You should Make it good What! Make it, Make it Chorus 2-times Be wise You have to decide What to do when hard choices arise Be wise You have to realize That it’s not always easy for me to… Be wise W-I-S-E Be wise What should your choice be? Realize it’s not always easy to be W-I-S-E © 2012 JM Melodies Inc. All rights reserved.

Higher Verse 1 I don't believe in fairy tails I know the difference between facts and fantasy. I don't believe monsters live in my closet or under my bed You heard what I said but Chorus I believe in me I’m the one who decides if I sink or I fly I believe in myself Don’t have time to be worried 'bout anyone else I believe, I believe Verse 2 I don't believe black cats bring bad luck And neither does number thirteen I don't believe there's a pot filled with gold at the rainbow’s end It's all just pretend but Chorus I believe in me I’m the one who decides if I sink or I fly I believe in myself Don’t have time to be worried 'bout anyone else I believe, I believe Bridge It's not easy to trust that you will Have the knowledge and skill That will help you succeed But I have courage and confidence So I'm simply convinced That I do So do you Chorus I believe in me I’m the one who decides if I sink or I fly I believe ---in myself Don’t have time to be worried 'bout anyone else No!

I'm So Determined 03:34
lyrics
I'm So Determined Verse 1 There are some days that I doubt myself I just can't do it I'll leave the work for somebody else Who can push through it. But then I think of the shoulders I stand on everyday They paved the road through their struggle Now it's my turn Chorus I'm so determined To never give up on anything in life Oh you should know that I'm so determined To follow through on all of my dreams No matter how far they seem. Verse 2 I had so many days when I felt Stuck in the same place The thought of failing when I’m trying I simply can not face There will be times that I'll stumble I'll just get back in the race I may not be first or second I'll move at my pace Chorus I'm so determined To never give up on anything in life Oh you should know that I'm so determined To follow through on all of my dreams No matter how far they seem. Rap You wanna give up You wanna hold back That's not determination Come on stop that Change your attitude Before it hurts you Be more positive And you will push through. I have determination You see it in my eyes I know my destination I see the final prize I’m on my way to college Nothing's gonna stop me If I fall, I will rise, my dreams will never die because Chorus- 2 times I'm so determined To never give up on anything in life Oh you should know that I'm so determined To follow through on all of my dreams No matter how far they seem. © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.

My Journey Are you ready? Yea! To get it started? Yea! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s Go! Verse 1 Look, there are so many pieces That make up what’s inside Some, I’ve yet to discover Others I wear with pride Just like a puzzle I’m complex So many pieces all connect To form a person that’s one-of-a-kind I am so uniquely designed Chorus I’m on a journey But the destination has never been seen I’m on a journey But the road I travel is inside of me I’m learning who I am, and who I’ll grow to be My identity evolves and blossoms constantly Rap Learning who you are is essential It’s the only way that you discover your potential Knowing all the little things that make you weak and strong Can give your life purpose, teach you where you belong No one else is like you No one does it like you do You have a light, let it shine From inside, you can’t hide Tell the world – “This is me!” And there’s so much you can’t see Shout it out! Shout it out! Shout it out, out out out! Chorus – 2 times I’m on a journey But the destination has never been seen I’m on a journey But the road I travel is inside of me I’m learning who I am, and who I’ll grow to be My identity evolves and blossoms constantly It’s My Journey! © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.

It Was All A Dream 03:34
lyrics
It Was All A Dream Verse 1 In my dreams I’m just the best Everything’s flawless I know all the answers, help my friends, and always pass the tests. I come first in every race No one can match my pace When I swing I always hit Whenever I shoot I can’t miss Boy it feels like I could fly if I just tried I always want to feel this way All through the night and through the day Chorus It was all a dream That’s how it seemed I never thought I could make it happen Stopped my dreaming and took some action In my dreams I saw a new and better me I chose to be that person in reality Not only in my dreams Verse 2 In my dreams I own so much Even a company A house, some cars, a plane, a boat, They all belong to me When I sing my voice is clear Its beauty fills the air I can give goose bumps and chills To every single one that hears Boy it feels like I could fly if I just tried I always want to feel this way All through the night and through the day Chorus It was all a dream That’s how it seemed I never thought I could make it happen Stopped my dreaming and took some action In my dreams I saw a new and better me I chose to be that person in reality Not only in my dreams Bridge Don’t think that it’s impossible To live your fantasies Anything you can imagine is a possibility All the people with success Who worked to be the very best Say, in order to succeed You have to chase after your dreams Chase after your dreams Chorus It was all a dream That’s how it seemed I never thought I could make it happen Stopped my dreaming and took some action In my dreams I saw a new and better me I chose to be that person in reality Not only in my dreams Not only in my dreams Not only in my dreams © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.

I'll Take the Steps 03:35
lyrics
I'll Take The Steps Verse1 When I envision my life years from now I see I’m college bound I know I won’t end up there magically The work begins right now. It’s a little bit scary but I’ll conquer my fears Cause I know I’ll be filled with regret if I don’t act on my ideas So Chorus A I am going to seize each moment Won’t let life pass me by Progress is never made by standing still I’ll take the steps, I will Verse 2 Patience is a virtue we all need But don’t take that too far If you are hesitating constantly You’ll stay right where you are Why wait till tomorrow when you have today Don’t be afraid One foot behind the other gets you on your way So Chorus B Go ahead and seize each moment Don’t let life pass you by Progress is never made by standing still You’ll take the steps, you will Chorus A – Two Times I am going to seize each moment Won’t let life pass me by Progress is never made by standing still I’ll take the steps, I will I will, I will. © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.

Tiger Heart 02:52

Tiger Heart Chorus I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me I’m filled with integrity I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me Full of courage and bravery! Verse 1 When you stand up for what you believe Even when no one else thinks the way you do It might be so scary initially But there’s courage that exists inside of you It might seem hard sometimes Maybe impossible But I am confident enough to say what’s on my mind Chorus I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me I’m filled with integrity I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me Full of courage and bravery! Verse 2 There are many people in our history Who taught us what it really means to be brave I promise to be the change I want to see I’ll use all opportunities to lead the way It might seem hard sometimes Maybe impossible but I am confident enough to stand in front of the line Chorus I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me I’m filled with integrity I’ve got that tiger heart I’ve got that tiger heart in me Full of courage and bravery!

We'll Change The World 04:58
lyrics
We'll Change The World Verse 1 I'd like to tell you all a story That took place one winter night The stars were out in all their glory It was the most amazing sight I thought of all that's wrong in the world The joy I felt began to cease How can we say we love our world If we can't even give her peace Chorus We'll change the world The children We'll change the world If we Love our brothers and Respect each other then We'll change the world We'll change the world Verse 2 That night I made a big decision I'll never fear what I don't know Pre-judging only brings division Learning from others helps us grow The future is in the children's hands We’ll be the change you want to see Each day each choice, each child each voice Will make it a reality Chorus We'll change the world The children We'll change the world If we Love our brothers and Respect each other then We'll change the world We'll change the world © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.

Higher (featuring Andre Jalil) 05:33
lyrics
Higher Verse 1 Each and every day I’m always thankful for my friends They make me laugh, and I can always count on them When they’re around I know I’m in for a real good time No one compares to these amazing friends of mine But the best thing about them, is they all have real big dreams I know I have to surround myself with people doing big things Chorus They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone I know I will be judged by the company I keep So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me Verse 2 The people who are close to me Are bringing positive energy I don’t need to have you around if all you do is keep me down The people who I want to know Are making moves so they can grow Making progress on life’s track, moving forward, never back Honestly I’d rather be Alone than have bad company I’d march to my own beat before they’d slow me to down to match their speed If your goal is to improve Take your time when you choose The people that reflect your style, who’ll be in your life for a while Rap When it comes to decisions it boils down to who I consider friends and who I call my crew We can watch TV and talk about sci-fi Play sports get all excited and high five But at the end of the day I need people around me Who encourage not tease or clown me It's my desire to go higher and higher Build an empire with friends who inspire If that is you then what are we waiting on? We can have a friendship that lasts crazy long Pardon the slang that means forever We can read books and build things together I will always surround myself with Motivators not anyone who is selfish Negative people I won't be stuck with I'm a future Zuckerberg or Warren Buffett Chorus They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone I know I will be judged by the company I keep So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone I know I will be judged by the company I keep So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me © 2012 JM Melodies Inc.
