Leave my name off your tongue, babe I leave this smoke in my lungs Breath in deep I sigh you out, ha Been so low there’s only up now We’re talking long and through the night Damage is done between you and I Gotta Stop babe Gotta Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop I got to tell you this shit (thing) right here now I’ve been working so hard I can never do right I can never do wrong Maybe this time If I get through the night If I sing you this song,babe You gonna run it back now You gone turned you back now You gonna make me feel now And I don’t want to feel That’ll make it real Got to get on out Trying to hit indica blue Trying to blaze without you We used to do, we used do it so good, so I wish I could tell you how much I don’t want you to stay here with me but I can’t, no I can’t I got to let that shit (it all) go to a blank, so Leave my name off your tongue, babe I leave this smoke in my lungs Breath in deep, I sigh you out, ha Been so low there’s only up now We’re talking long and through the nights Damage is done between you and I So leave my name off your tongue, baby I leave this smoke in my lungs If I could roll one more J, just to blow that in your face, well I would Got a snake on my arm to remind me of all the shit (things) I go through ‘Cause I’m shedding my skin, just to be a new bitch (girl) when I get rid of you Yeah, I’ll roll one at that and smoke it up back with my new man in view it’s true you changed, I did too But you made the wrong moves You switched up on me baby And made me feel like a damn fool Feel like I’ve been gypped and jaded Trying to get faded Bazing on this new shit (*blunt) Wishing my head wasn’t thinking about you Oh, oh, oh Leave my name off your tongue, baby I leave your smoke in my lungs Breath in deep I sigh you out, ha Been so low there’s only up now We’re talking long and through the night Damage is done between you and I So leave my name off your tongue, baby I leave this I leave this smoke in my lungs Ooh, ooh, ooh I leave this smoke in my lungs

Well the songs that I’m singing They ain’t coming out right And the love I’ve been givin’ Isn’t the same every time I’m just being honest I don’t know what I’m wanting Please just lay it on me cause I know I’m really stressin’ I just need some company to take me all the way I see it This could be the reason this could be the place I’ve never been before When the songs that I’m singing They ain’t coming out right And the love I’ve been giving Isn’t the same every time Oh and I’m just asking why Somebody please just tell me why Take me to a state where I can be more comfortable Give me space to figure it out once and for all I’m just asking questions Tryin to find some answers in the way of where I feel and where I’m gonna land Maybe one day you’ll have my back through it all When the songs that I’m singing Yhey ain’t coming out right And the love I’ve been giving Isn’t the same every time Oh, and I’m just asking why Somebody please tell me why She walks in I know why Looks at me, with those eyes Get’s me higher Get’s me high She get’s me high Oh, Whoa, oh When the songs that I’m singing They ain’t coming out right Oh and the love I’ve been giving Isn’t the same every time Oh and I’m just asking why Somebody please just tell me why Oh and I’m just asking why Somebody please just tell me why

about

If you want free downloads of the songs on this album, hit me up at my website zenonepp.com/contact

This my debut album titled "GENRE Z”, an exploration of my journey with music and how I interpret R&B. The journey is reflected in this album with influences from jazz, it also leans into the bluesy B side, and my style of music uses space to create the unsaid. I hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind sonic experience and you join us as we celebrate "GENRE Z.”

The talented musicians gave to this album are: Abijah Knight on Upright and Electric Bass, Bev Soriano on drums and Sax, Craig Davidson on Piano, Jonny Chavez on Guitar and Trumpet. I played piano on all but one track (Why) and did the vocals, background vocals and lyrics.
