HOT - “Hot music, designed to move and inspire”
JEWLZ – “Jewels of information that proves that beauty and strength can emerge from immense pressure.”

Basically, I wanted my music to reflect the struggles that we all face, and to champion the idea that we can overcome adversity through music.  For me, battling what I’ve faced, I’ve found music as therapy has been very helpful.  Hopefully you will also be able to overcome obstacles that stand in your way of greatness.

Thank you for your continued support,

Track # 2 – “HUSH”

Verse 1:

There she was, trying to make it big in Hollywood

Tell her to sell her soul, yeah then she probably would

She’s so hungry for the life of a celebrity

She wants to get backstage so she can get with me

I didn’t choose this life, this life chose me

She’s outside, lining up where all the hoes be,

She got her nails done, she got her weave did

Nobody at home to take care of her three kids

Low self esteem trying to get the green

A nice model walk, yeah her step is mean

Put it all out there, just like a prostitute

She need to clear her mind so she can cop the loot

She got bills to pay, baby daddy ditched her

A snap shot of her life so take a picture

It’s not a pretty life, it calls for desperate measures

She’d fly away without wings but she aint got no feathers

Chorus:

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Wipe your face, honey dry your tears

Be secure and don’t hide your fears

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Oh please do not say a word,

Just let me buy you a little mockingbird

Verse 2:

She’d probably live it better if she could start life over

She’d probably stay away from all the people that might hold her

She wants to be somebody, she wants to have a purpose

A deep woman, people only know her at the surface

System failed her, she fending for her own ya’ll

No offering hands, not even any phone calls

Made some enemies, probably hurt a few

Just put yourself in her position, yeah insert of you

Made some mistake yo, but so have all us

She shouldn’t be an outcast when she’s a part of us

Heard it too many times, yeah it’s a common story

Feeling dark when the light shining down from glory

I see your head down girl, you need to pick it up

I’ll help you get your life right, so you can live it up

And I aint here to condemn because I have no place

You need to dream again, those goals hon’ you’ve got to chase

Chorus:

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Wipe your face, honey dry your tears

Be secure and don’t hide your fears

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Oh please do not say a word,

Just let me buy you a little mockingbird

Verse 3:

So you can live again and be proud to

Don’t let no man ever tell you what you’re allowed to

If anything you probably need some support

And no your past don’t act as a last resort (no)

That’s behind you, you need to find you

That innocent child that’s hidden up inside you

And we can do this hon’, can get through this hon’

And strip your life of all the baggage like a nudist hon’

And you can make the move and you can progress

Imagine a world, no pain no stress

And you can forget any and all mistakes made

All identity crises and fake names

You deserve a better life and your loved ones

In one lump sum, there’s nothing you should run from

Until next time be safe and keep strong

On solid ground you should keep your feet on

Chorus:

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Wipe your face, honey dry your tears

Be secure and don’t hide your fears

Hush little lady, don’t you cry

I’m gonna sing you a lullaby

Oh please do not say a word,

Just let me buy you a little mockingbird (x 3)

Track # 3: “They Hate Me”

Verse 1:

And it doesn’t matter what I say,

‘Cause they gonna judge me anyway

Put me in a box and classify

Knowing I could never satisfy

It was a problem from the start of it

Your life, they don’t want me a part of it

They don’t think that I can treat you right

You’re my shining star you shine so bright

Hook:

I’m so so tired, I tried to buy some gifts

For their approval, I tried to talk a bit

But it didn’t work. I gently dropped the bomb

I love your daughter, so why can’t we get along

Chorus:

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Some say I’m a lucky individual,

And they’d be right if this love was only physical

I’d travel long, far and wide just to be with you

So why do they hate me, so why do they hate? Oh

Verse 2:

They say I’m not husband material,

Press play, this melody is ethereal

Okay, I have a tainted history

Still ain’t got to treat me viciously

I think it’s time to let your daughter go,

In our business, always gotta know

It takes a toll on my energy

This problem draining me mentally

Hook:

I’m so so tired, I tried to buy some gifts

For their approval, I tried to talk a bit

But it didn’t work. I gently dropped the bomb

I love your daughter, so why can’t we get along

Chorus:

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Some say I’m a lucky individual,

And they’d be right if this love was only physical

I’d travel long, far and wide just to be with you

So why do they hate me, so why do they hate? Oh

Verse 3:

I hope you’ll ease up and pull down your sleeves

Once I build and set these boundaries

I’ll reassure you I won’t push you out

If that’s not it, then what’s the fuss about?

It’s obvious you did a marvelous job in raising her

It’s a privilege, I feel lucky to be dating her

It’d mean a lot if you just let your guard down a bit

To show I’m real, that my love is not some counterfeit

Hook:

I’m so so tired, I tried to buy some gifts

For their approval, I tried to talk a bit

But it didn’t work. I gently dropped the bomb

I love your daughter, so why can’t we get along

Chorus:

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Why do your parents hate me? (3X)

Me Me Me

Some say I’m a lucky individual,

And they’d be right if this love was only physical

I’d travel long, far and wide just to be with you

So why do they hate me, so why do they hate? Oh

Track # 2 – “Change the World”

Intro:

Spence Diamond

We can change the world (x 6)

Verse 1:

I want the courage of a Martin Luther King

The strength like Mandela it’s a beautiful thing

Been called a dreamer boy they say I dream too big

But even Joseph was a dreamer and became a king

I know there’s valley but I look up high

God saw what was wrong and He took my pride

Far from perfect, first person to tell you

Got to look in that mirror for that burst to propel you

I roam from SA, Le Sud’Afrique

To all the people around the world, to every hood I speak

I seek for the lost because I’m lost myself

There’s nothing free in this world there’s a cost for wealth

Don’t turn your back on the rest of the world
I’m guilty, too concerned with impressing the world

“You’re on your way” is what a strange man said to me

Just stay focused and retain my integrity

Chorus:

Ay yo, it won’t be easy

Do you want to change the world ?

We can make it right believe me

We’ve got to change the world

Stand up together unite ya’ll

Do you want to change the world

Spread love no need to fight ya’ll

We’ve got to change the world

Verse 2:

Don’t limit yourself if you’ve got more options

No need to sell your soul, life is not an auction

Don’t sell yourself short if you’re destined to grow

Just listen to your heart and what’s pressing your soul

We’ll be struggling now and amidst the storming

Just keep your heads up, joy comes in the morning

Small differences can last a lifetime

Eyes open so nothing passes your sight line

A visionary, throw the tunnel vision away

Keep your heart right and see a little come to your way

Quicker to criticize when we ought to congratulate

They aint breaking me down, I’m kinda glad they hate

Cycles of poverty living up in welfare

Systems corrupt like we’re living down in hell yeah

Those who need help aint receiving

You think you can’t change that, you aint believing

Chorus:

Ay yo, it won’t be easy

Do you want to change the world ?

We can make it right believe me

We’ve got to change the world

Stand up together unite ya’ll

Do you want to change the world

Spread love no need to fight ya’ll

We’ve got to change the world

Musical Outro:

Martin Luther King speech exerpt

Track # 1: “Still Shining”

Verse 1:

A love story of the century, Spence and hip hop

A match made in heaven ‘cause these hits I can’t stop

Writing in my spot, see me climbing up trees

See they got little nephews trying to rhyme it like me

I’m not into the greats thinking that could be me

I still say the hottest rhymer was Muhammed Ali

Now I’m trying to be mean making medicine sick

Had to deal with the hate while defending my click

Now Spence, remember what the game done taught you

Be strong, expose the lames that fought you (fight back)

And show them that your game is the baddest

And how you done had this so claim your status

Got to earn every cent, earn every dollar

And once you get collecting, the girls wanna holler

But these are problems that you can’t control

Stay true to the game while they demand your soul (Let’s go)

Chorus:

It’s blurry, hurting my eyelids when I’m cruising the highway

I’m about to spin out of control

I just get caught up in trying, always doing things my way

I’m learning every day that I grow (x 2)

Still Shining, Still shining (x 7)

Just like a diamond

Verse 2:

Got rhythm in my blood stream, all in my veins

I came out the womb beatboxing all in the same

This is Hip Hop music, I didn’t have to choose it

I can chill and be laid back or flat out lose it

Started as a movement, political tool

Started out hot, now it’s considered a Jewel

Let me take you back to when rap was on an African drum beat

Just a man with his drum, and it sounded lovely

The game never left me, put nothing above me

I still love this music so it must have loved

About passion and test of character

Can’t lose your focus the press will get at ya

And it’s the essence of everything real

Pop this music as a drug like an everyday pill

Hip to the Hop is what makes me move

For me to hustle in dough, I had to hustle and Flow (Let’s go)

Chorus:

It’s blurry, hurting my eyelids when I’m cruising the highway

I’m about to spin out of control

I just get caught up trying in trying, always doing things my way

I’m learning every day that I go (x 2)

Still Shining, Still shining (x 7)

Just like a diamond

Outro

Now throw your hands in the hair

Throw your hands in the air

Throw your hands in the air

And if you still shining throw your hands in the air (x 2)

I shine so bright (x
