Wake up to feel all right And thats just me warming up for the fight Youre tearin me down To get back up Is probably the hardest thing Ill ever have to do And I tried and tried to make things go right For the days turns tonight and youll see what Im like Ohh more When you say That you love me And Ill say that I cant anymore Give you things that you wanted And more And more See you across the way Sure really dont know what to say You be on my mind Most of times I feel fine Oh mine eyes They might have seen her Mine eyes is gazing as bright moon Like the tide pulling me closer Red Rover, Red Rover Won't you come over So, I can rap I swear I'd have the dope lines Id drop on a dime Everything if you want me to It's what you do That's what you do The coolest you It's like you got me under your voodoo Id never choose to But soothe me Because the truth be That I need you Soul seeker Because the truth be That I need you Soul seeker [Rough Ns by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] [Rough Ns by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] And when you say That you love me And Ill say that I cant anymore And give you things that you wanted And more And more [Rough Ns by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] [Rough Ns by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] Mona Lisa Won't you turn me into believer?

I know youre hard to love But who isnt?

I needed someone to listen I can talk to you one day The next I feel you distant I just wanna get you on your worst day And make a difference So please Tap, tap, two times And tell me you love me And well snap back to the times Before it got ugly And Ill paint a perfect picture Of you when Im witcha Wish you could be that simple As looking upon the stars And making a wish a little bit longer A little bit closer Let me ease your temper ‘Cause it always rains on my minds side of town In late December I seem to remember So, let me hear you Let me hear you Sing that sweet mellow tune Of late last June Where you had me intertwined In your mind Is the only time I got to see Those brown eyes spark this fire within me You make it look easy And it was in those eyes That I realized All those worries and flurries Please Lets not hurry ‘Cause Ill sail across the moon And walk across the stars to be where you are And when you say That you love me And Ill say that I cant And give you things that you wanted And more And more So, Im gunna Seek out Someone certain To look after my mind So, Im gunna seek out Someone certain To look after my mind My mind My mind My mind My mind My mind I need you more and more and more And more and more And when you say That you love me and I'll say that I cant anymore My music, Id like its a fusion of soul, first, R&B, kind of like a jazz funk, hip hop fusion of music.

So, its not just one genre or another.

It's just kind of a collective of everything that I love in music.

This is where the magic happens.

This next song is called Fearless.

This my first ever produced single.

So.

[Fearless by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] [Fearless by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] I can believe Im someones purpose Man, I know Im pain Moonwalking on the sun Promises hold me still I can believe Im someones Brighter day One, two, three.

Hey, [Fearless by Jason Garrett Evans and Cosmic Fantasy] I could believe Im someones purpose Man, I know, I know Im pain Moonwalking on the sun Promises hold me still I can believe Im someones Brighter day But, Ill cry today Ooooaaahh Oooaahhhhhhh Wake me up in the morning With a kiss on my head I can believe in sunrise Even when were dead I cant help myself From thinking About all the things you said It was all in It was all in My mind My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind [Fearless by Jason Garrett Evans with Cosmic Fantasy] It was all in It was all in It was all in It was all in My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind My mind My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind It was all in It was all in It was all in My mind, my mind, my mind, my mind I can believe Im someones purpose Man, I know, I know Im pain What I tend to, to gravitate to is kind of like the sad music.

But then it's fun because, look, you'll write a sad song, okay, and it'll sound sad, but then you're like, I want a dance.

Okay, well how are you going to dance?

And you know, my song Fearless.

It started out as a sad song, but, that song wasn't intended on being a dance, you know, groove, you know with thanks to some of my friends, they we sat down and he say, Well, how about we play it like this?

And I was like, I mean, I, I guess so if you play it and we played it and, You know, I sang the same sad lyrics that I did before, but in more of like a dance and grooving and literally every since then, that song is maybe, six year old.

That song has been like a dance groove ever since.

And I love it, you know, I love it.

So.

All right, this is a nice little funk groove.

[Dance In The Dark by Jason Garrett Evans] We used to move and groove And dance all night The way your movin your body With those jeans so tight This is the dance You get your chance We'll cut the lights You're going strong It's your night We got a new sound Thatll run this town come on Raise your glass Shake it fast You know the grove is right One dance One chance We'll cut the lights We welcome you to the night To get closer Want you to look in his eyes Say I wantcha I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe Hope on a flight to France I can take you where ever you wanted to go Get lost In hopeless romance Just wanna show you how I really get down If you only knew I could talk you where ever you wanted to go Come on, lets groove tonight Its 2 oclock in the morning We might never come down Come on Raise your glass Shake it fast You know the groove is right One dance One chance Well cut the lights We welcome you to the night To get closer Want you to look in his eyes Say I want you I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe Come on Raise your glass Shake it fast You know the groove is right One dance One chance Well cut the lights We welcome you to the night To get closer Want you to look in his eyes Say I want you I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe I need Girl, I need To feel your hands on me I need Girl, I need To get back to what we believe This next tune is called Open Book.

[Open Book by Jason Garrett Evans with Cosmic Fantasy] Would you love me, If I told you my truth Might be lookin for a lifeline Or just someone to hold on Two of us Moonwalkin towards the sunrise of our own demise Cant, not, not Wont, wont not Cut ties I talk about demise As if I knew Id be dying As if I knew Id be lyin As if I knew shed be cheatin As if I knew hed be touchin you Tell you things with confidence Havin you so fed up with this You done with this?
