LYRICS
I’m in love i wanna be with you, but can’t commit
Cause when I’m not with you I’m way too busy taking risk
and you ain’t sign up for the ups and downs that come from chasing dreams
and making them reality cause that ain’t always what it seems
for instance they posting on insta, we think its real
it’s really an image. Comparing ourself to fiction
a product of my childhood, I ain’t feel like I fit in
i’m the child of God it’s in my jeans I got the true religion
I’m the new statistic, that’s young, black, and gifted
they used to day if you was young and black, you’d be in prison
now all they say is “bro i love your raps, I really feel it”
they don’t know when I get the bottle I fill it
my confidence ain’t always in attendance, but I show up still
I was taught if you mix faith and action, you can make it real.
with a message like this, I gotta capture it and make a reel
I’m focused on passion and making mills
now when I leave the crib everything is on me
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of the king
it’s power in my prayer I got god on my team
women on my mind, money what I chase
giving me the side eye I can feel the hate
in the air like its wifi it’s too much on my plate
to be worried bout the people that’s upset because i’m great
gracious and merciful is the god I praise
after all the dirt i did i should probably be 6 feet
how can i love you when i’m tryna love me
and how can I commit when i’m committed to the streets
i’m just tryna find love girl i’m tryna find peace
i’m in love i wanna be with you, but can’t commit…
3 things you need to do before a relationship
Summary:
1. Focus on spiritual development
2. commit to your mental health
3. develop a deeper relationship with God.
why is it easier to commit to other peoples plans than it is to commit to your own vision?
This is for people who want to be more consistent with walking in their purpose, but are overworked with other people’s projects…
For those who have trouble finding inspiration to start their own vision, but find it easier to work on things that aren’t your own creative vision…
OR THOSE WHO JUST CAN’t SAY “NO” WHEN SOMEONE ASKS…
3 things you need to commit to before you can ever commit to anyone else
(No matter if it’s RELATIONSHIPS, BUSINESS OR FAMILY)
#1 commit TO YOUR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
your spirit is your Conscience…(the thing inside of you that tells you if you are doing right or wrong…) AND WHEN YOU VIOLATE YOUR SPIRIT, YOU FEEL FEELINGS OF GUILT, SHAME, OR DEPRESSION. SO, SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT IS THE PROCESS OF UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND CREATING A “SPIRITUAL COMPASS TO LIVE BY”
THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO, BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO ANYONE ELSE IS TO COMMIT TO DEVELOPING A SPIRITUAL COMPASS, AND DEVELOP THE DISCIPLINE TO FOLLOW THAT SPIRITUAL COMPASS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR “LOWER SELF” WANTS YOU TO DO…
CREATE A RITUAL THAT ALLOWS YOU TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE HIGHER POWER AND RECEIVE DOWNLOADS ON WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG.
PRAYER: Prayer is a great way to talk to God and allow Him to speak directly through your spirit.
SCRIPTURE: Scriptures are stories of people who have spoken to god either directly or through divine inspiration, in a way that allows you to use their story and interpret it to fit your situation.
MEDiTAION: Meditation is the process of listening to how your body feels in any given moment. allowing yourself to feel through your emotions and get to the root of what your spirit is trying to communicate to you through your feelings.
SELF REFLECTION: Self reflection is the process of documenting your life in a way that allows you to find purpose in your past, develop a plan for the present, and create a future that is in alignment with the God in You.
#2 commit to your mental health
Nothing can stop you besides yourself. if you can just get over the battle that is in your head, you will be able to accomplish anything that you want in life. The way to do this is to subtract the negatives and add positives…
say no to time stealers: People who only contact you when they need something are the #1 people who need to go. That is called a liability. They don’t love you, just what you can give.
date yourself: you have to find out what you like and dislike before you can invite someone in to fill that role. Love Yourself so that you know what the right type of love feels like when it comes.
surround yourself with uplifting people: find people who believe in you, and see you at your highest self even when you don’t.
#3 commit to your business
Once you develop a spiritual practice that allows you to receive downloads from the higher power, and you develop your mental health enough to be able to take those downloads and create tangabile things, the next step is to create a system where people find value in what you create, and give value back to you… ie a business
#1 Identify what is the higher power trying to tell you is the call for you life based off of your natural passions
#2 Be so dedicated to your mental health that you know how to fight depression when it comes as soon as it comes
#3 learn how to package your downloads in a way that the world loves
IF your not all the way whole in yourself, you will lose yourself in your partner. You shouldn’t get in relationships with people before you have the capacity to love them and poor into them. The only way you can do that is to learn to love yourself.
Why I Wrote It?
I love love. So much so that sometimes I can get lost in my partner and forget that I am here for a purpose. I was beginning to develop relationships with women who did not make me a better person. i don’t blame them. It is up to me to learn to love myself. it’s up to me to prioritize what is important to me. this song is about refocusing on self,

what is the one thing you want to develop in yourself before you get into a relationship?
In my past relationships, we were depending on each other too much and weren't our own people. We were two halves of one person which sounds cute and all but what you need in a relationship is ro be a whole person adding value to another whole person
