Welcome to not knowing Welcome to a shared fear Welcome to the end times We've been here for years and years Welcome We got to be ready To fight till the birth Of the world we want x2 We got to be ready To fight till the death for the world we need x2 This I know for sure The calm before the storm is here x3 Prepare to be a warrior Prepare for some long nights Prepare to be impolite Prepare but don't let them dim your light Prepare I said prepare We got to be ready To fight till the birth Of the world we want x2 We got to be ready To fight till the death for the world we need x2 If you not ready Then it’s time to get ready, ready If you not ready Then it’s time to get ready, ready We got to be ready To fight till the birth Of the world we want x2 We got to be ready To fight till the death for the world we need x2

Verse I’m here to tell you a story About Kid named Jayme Who knew they were different Knew they were destined Knew they’d be great x2 So first they made a wish upon a star That maybe one day they’d love who they are But first they had to find it Somewhere deep inside themselves They found that you can be Whatever you want to be It turns out that you can be Whatever you want x2 So they made a wish upon a star That one day they’d know who they are They made that wish upon a star That one day they’d love who they are Did you know that you can be Whatever you want Did you know that you can be Whatever you want whatever you want whatever you want Sure enough that day came Sure enough they were ready Knew they were destined Knew they’d be great Made a wish Upon a star Did you know that you can be Whatever you want to be Did you know that you can be whatever you want to be if you can dream it up go on beam it up If you can dream it up Go on beam it up

Sneakers to heels like no big deal Holding her close, but some things, I can't feel She hides the pains, still her love flies Queen of my heart, told to downsize [Chorus] I'm in awe of her, in awe of her I'm in awe of her, in awe of her And I spend every day telling her all the ways I'm in awe of her, in awe of her [Verse 2] Hush now, little darling, that's what they say (That's what they say) But the truth in her voice is a tidal wave And one day she'll look in thе mirror and say This here woman is perfеctly made [Chorus] I'm in awe of her, in awe of her I'm in awe of her, in awe of her And I spend every day telling her all the ways I'm in awe of her, in awe of her

about

This multi-isla inspired, funk, indie soul, and r&b-filled 9-track, 2-sided project is a love letter to the grooves that fuel generations. 

Carrying the message of Sankofa - a reminder to always go back from where you came - this album is a Holy letter to the beauty in what is possible in spite of it all, and a reminder to honor what was built for you, before you.  

In a lead up to the 2.3.23 release, the Holy crew behind this 39-min 2-SIDED LP hosted short weekly virtual gatherings - Tender Winter Sessions - on a few Sunday evenings in January to gift supporters the product directly, and to bring often marginalized and otherwise isolated people together across time and space.
