Trust me I'm scared
of all things unknown
Trust me I've beared
My entire soul
for you, for me
for us, for we
Trust me
I don't know much bout love
Or much bout life
But something just don't feel right
it don't feel right
Lets go back to the beginnning
Let's find out what we've been missing
Back when love was in our kisses
Back when touching was a mission
When I didn't fear submission
you gave more than
you gave more than
you gave more than you do now
now
So, Trust me I'm scared
of all things unknown
Trust me I've beared
My entire soul
for you, for me
for us, for we
Trust me
I am an angel baby
Brought here to save you
Maybe, release your inner demons
I can provide you healing
Deep as a conversation
Vast as the surface of the moon
We are engaging in a
Love that's only for us two
Us two
It's only for us two
yeah
You can scour the earth to find
someone better than I
But there's a light that's inside me
That only I can supply
If there's a mountain to climb
My spirit could walk it just fine
It's more than some words and a title
stay close you'll find out what I am
I am
Deep as a conversation
Vast as the surface of the moon
We are engaging in a
Love that's only for us two
us two
us two
us two
I am an angel baby
Brought here to save you
Maybe, release your inner demons
I can provide you healing
Deep as a conversation
Vast as the surface of the moon
We are engaging in a
Love that's only for us two
Desire rushing through our blood
Temptation manifested love
Come bathe in my garden ( you'll find your own Eden)
The fruit that's forbidden ( is fully in season)
Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden Fruit
Let me be your angel or persuasion
I can be your beacon
Come taste this forbidden fruit
x2
Devotion
Nature of the game
Destroying
Whatever is in our way
Get lost in my garden ( you'll find your own Eden)
The fruit that's forbidden ( is fully in season)
Forbidden fruit
Forbidden fruit
"I've decided that any nigga that never bought me flowers is just a bitch ass nigga who lacks creativity and don't listen to me. Cuz anybody that fuck with me KNOWS. Talkin bout " you know the vibes" yeah muthafucka I do know the vibes"
Grant me grace
( muthafucka knew what I was all about)
Grant me grace
( rather lose you than lose myself without a doubt)
x2
I'm not perfect anyway
I do my own thing
If you think you can tame me
You on the wrong wave
I was born a fighter
To have my own name
Passion is a virtue
I got that the long way
so
Grant me grace
( muthafucka knew what I was all about)
Grant me grace
( rather lose you than lose myself without a doubt)
x2
I'll never try to blend in again
Bitch i'm a cover photo
couldn't be anything other than me
was made original
I'll wait on a real man to lead me
remaining teachable
but compromising what makes me Teia
is inconceivable
Grant me grace
( muthafucka knew what I was all about)
Grant me grace
( rather lose you than lose myself without a doubt)
Muthafucka, Grant me grace
( muthafucka knew what I was all about)
He wouldn't, Grant me grace
( rather lose you than lose myself without a doubt)

All the way
From Raleigh, NC
It's Teia Elaine
Want in my garden?
But what you gonna do?
Cause to be honest
I know many men like you
So, What makes you special?
Enough to get down in my soil
It is too precious
To have anybody spoil it
OH
You think that you should easily
Have a piece of me
Where are your tools
Cause you should be
Prepared to water me
x2
I need a gardener
To bring me back to life
You need to have a green thumb
Gotta talk to me nice
Give me some nutrients
I mean Tender, Love, & Care
If you rub me the right way
I might take you there
You think that you should easily
Have a piece of me
Where are your tools
Cause you should be
Prepared to water me
x2
Now what we gon do is
is we gon break this thang down
oh, give it to me now
give it to me, give it, give it to me now
Ladies
If he wants in your garden
tell em
tell em
what you gon do, what you gon do, what you gon do, what you gon do, what you gon do for it
What would it take
To make you lose your inhibition?
Intimate touching and rubbing
Get lost in my kisses
Join me on this voyage of knowledge and power
Persuasion is just one bite away
Indulge in my flower
Come away with me
(come away and let me flood you with emotion, come away and give in to my compulsion)
Come away with me
(come away and let me flood you with emotion, come away give in to my compulsion)
Undercovers we can be exposed
Take me to places I have never known
Drive my body up to heaven
I love when we're connecting
Fill me up with love
I'm craving your touch
You never give too little
You never give too much
I'm trying hard not to lose my mind
But it's crazy how close you got me to crossing that line
It's so aggressive
You're so possessive
And I want to be everything that your ex wasn't
I'm losing track of time
Wild Adventure
You love it when I Whine
New position
You got me open wide
Final Chapter
You make me come alive
Like a Picture
Undercovers we can be exposed
Take me to places I have never known
Drive my body up to heaven
I love when we're connecting
Fill me up with love
I'm craving your touch
You never give too little
You never give too much
Take me, Take me
Take me to heaven
x4
You never give too little
you never give too much
you never give too little
oh
Undercovers we can be exposed
Take me to places I have never known
Drive my body up to heaven
I love when we're connecting
Fill me up with love
I'm craving your touch
You never give too little
You never give too much

Alicia Marie:
I had my heart broken one time I would never forget
I learned a lot about myself
Know I should trust me instead
Seasons change, I don't
Bitch
Teia Elaine:
I thought you wanted my roots
You only cared about my leaves
Said it was all about principles
But you be smoking on the green
If you can't stand on it all
Don't try to use it against me
I gave you all of my heart and I feel like causing a scene
Wishin that I was a bird
So I could soar above the trees
I put my soul in these words
I'm Ariel after the seas
If I was less than you wanted
Why the fuck you bothering me?
I can't change
I don't have to
I can't change
I don't want to
I can't change
I don't need to
I can't change, I can't change
x2
Alicia Marie:
Bruh, you act like a forest
But you is barely a seed
I fed you life and in return you took the life out of me
Thought you added to my garden now i'm straight pulling weeds
Thought the spring was on it's way but I grew cold off your breeze
Your icicles is to my lilies I could never compete
Did you ever say a thing that you mean?
Felt the sun off my beam?
Found some water in me?
I tried to be your cup, but you wasn't thirsty for me
I tried to be it all, but it wasn't working for me
You want change that's not for growth
Want proof of me and you a ghost
Want solid heart and solid mind
And you is liquid at most
You get gassed like I don't matter cuz you live off of boast
You want a bitch to ride with you, but how far will you go?
Hurt people gonna hurt you
When they done you gon be hurt too
You gon hurt who try to love you
They gon spread that ish too
I can't change
I don't have to
I can't change
I don't want to
I can't change
I don't need to
I can't change, I can't change
x2
Teia Elaine:
Truth Is
You didn't love yourself
So you tried to do damage to someone else
But I aint that bitch
I never was, I'll never be anything than who you knew me to be
cause you never really wanted to be here
You just wanted a piece of me
But baby
Teia Elaine & Alicia Marie:
I can't change
I don't have to
I can't change
I don't want to
I can't change
I don't need to
I can't change, I can't change
x2
want you to know
You're the seed that I wanted to grow
And I need you to see
You're more than I thought you would be
A rib for a rib
A heart for a heart
Let nothing or no one
Tear us apart
You're the seed
Planted inside of me
Rooted in make-believe
But you gave me purpose
Took you a while to come to the surface
So many failed experiences
Blows to my confidence
You've made it easier for me to deal with the consequence
With all that you do
And all that you say
You inspire me to do something great
And unexpected isn't the word
Prayers I thought that went unheard
I want you to know
You're the seed that I wanted to grow
And I need you to see
You're more than I thought you would be
A rib for a rib
A heart for a heart
Let nothing or no one
Tear us apart
You're the seed
Planted inside of me
Deuce Tyrell:
Uh
She dances in the wind
I'm caught up in her breeze
Came in August
Her gold will make me fall before she leaves
But her love stands taller than the trees
Then I moisturize her roots and she promised me a seed
So tell me what you want from me
Take a look at what you see
Let me know if this right here
Is something you want in 5 years
And im diggin her she diggin on me
No underground love
Aint now other fish in the sea
Her fun flounders
Nurturing and burying deep
Then love sprouts up
Finally she bearing my seed like sunflowers
And the sun showers
No love in the dark
Planting nutrients to blossom from the buds in her heart
And I am twice the beast so she fluting my art
She don't like the dumber dog but she in love with my bark
I want you to know
You're the seed that I wanted to grow
And I need you to see
You're more than I thought you would be
A rib for a rib
A heart for a heart
Let nothing or no one
Tear us apart
You're the seed
Planted inside of me
Truthfully I'm curious
About what lies beyond the places I can't see
The things I have yet to experience intrigue me
And I ask myself, what would be enough?
If I could grasp concepts beyond my comprehension
If I could know what's on the other side
If I could just wrap my head around the things that I don't know
Would I be fine?
I don't know
and so, I take a bite ( I don't know, I I I don't know I)
"Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
If your knowledge were your wealth
Then it would be well-earned
If we were made in his image then call us by our names
Some intellects do not believe in god
But they fear us just the same"
I don't know
I don't know
what would Eve do?
I don't know
But I know
some things are better left unsaid
All knowledge ain't good
Some things don't need to be explained
They are better left misunderstood
"The man that knows something
Knows that he knows nothing at all
Does it seem colder in your summertime
And hotter in your fall
If we were made in his image then call us by our names
Some intellects do not believe in god
But they fear us just the same"
I don't know
I don't know
what would Eve do?
I don't know
HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS!?
Have you heard the news!!!!?? What Would Eve Do is OUT NOW! It's been a long time coming, but I cannot wait to share this work of art that is so near and dear to my heart. Click the link below to listen.
