[Verse 1]
Simmer down, know you’re angry
I can make, make it okay
I can tell, I'ma be your baby
Feel your stress melting away somehow
These hoes you know won't hold you down
Getting so hard to see the lights

[Bridge 1]
Lights, lights low, low, low
Grind, grind, grind slow, slow
Mind, mind, mind numb, numb, numb
I'll, I'll, I've come, come

[Break: Speaker]
I remember being back in the woods
Everything is gonna change

[Verse 2]
In a world full of darkness
I've become your midnight sun
Wanna change, the first step is the hardest
A brand new age has finally begun right now
This life right here won't hold me down
Getting so hard to see the stars

[Bridge 2]
Stars, stars are aligned, aligned
The government, the media, want us blind, blind
And my mind, mind, mind numb, numb, numb
The time's, time's, time's come, come

The dawn of a new era

Welcome to my world

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
