Coup d’Etat – Album

Let me tell you
Who I am…who I am

Every day, I'm just me
Just trying, to be
Everything, that I can
Try to be, a better woman
Music, is all I know
I appreciate, that you chose

To take this ride with me
Enjoy lay back your seat
Let me tell you who I am

Every day, is a blessing
I just wanna chill, vibe, no stressing
Every day, is different
I'm just tryna do me, no tripping

Happy to, let you in
My world, hope you come again
Never take, a single day
For granted, yes understand it
Thankful for, every chance
Thankful for, every fan

I love you all for sho

Every day, is a blessing
I just wanna chill, vibe, no stressing
Every day, is different

Tell me what you think, now that you've got a better glimpse of me
Tell me what you hear, when my music's in your ear
Tell me what you see, when you look at me
Tell me how you feel, when I'm standing in front of you right here

Every day, is a blessing
I just wanna chill, vibe, no stressing
Every day, is different
I'm just tryna do me, no tripping

You chose to take a different course
You can't say, that I did not try (did not try)
Cause I did everything right (everything right)
But never did I cross your mind
But now, you just can't escape (can’t escape)

You, know…you know

I’ve seen this before
I think I know you
Oh yeah, I remember now

No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams

No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams

You look like the picture in my dreams
The one that includes you and me
Don't wanna sound crazy
But I believe that's where I met you
Or could this be deja vu
Cuz you’re in my presence
No second guessing
That he was you
Too good to be true
And I know you don't have a clue
About what I’m talking about
But I think I’ve figured this out

Cuz everything is making sense
You’re the one to bring me bliss
Forget about my past
This one I’m supposed to make it last
Cuz you're my envision of Mr. Perfect
No longer do I have to be searching
Let me show you what I see
I’ll show you my reality
Cuz

No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams
No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams

Now it's going on two years
And I’m grateful every day that you’re here
Cuz you, made me forget all about all of them
The ones that I thought, I knew love with
But with you it's so different
Cuz I actually need and not just want you
And I know you feel the same way too
So I guess dreams do come true
Cuz they didn't lie to me about you

Cuz everything is making sense
You’re the one to bring me bliss
Forget about my past
This one I’m supposed to make it last
Cuz you're my envision of Mr. Perfect
No longer do I have to be searching
Let me show you what I see
I’ll show you my reality
Cuz

No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams
No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present
You're my future in heaven
Cuz I know this was meant to be
Seen this too many times in my dreams

You, make my days’ worth living
I, appreciate you keep giving
Every, little piece of your heart
Been, giving it from the start
Never, will I try to take it apart
Cuz you’re just what I need
Never ever will I leave
Because you're my, dream turned reality

No turning back
No looking in the past
I’m with you in the present

In my dreams, oh yeah

I'm not like, those other fools
I’ll do anything, just for you

Trust me, take my hand
Let me show you, what it's like to be my man

I'll show you the stars
I’ll give you the moon
When you're with me
I’ll treat you like a king
Tell me what you need
Baby anything
I’ll give you the world
Because I’m your only girl
You bring the sunshine
Never clouds in the sky
When you're by my side
The sparks just ignite

Tell me what you, want to do
I like when, it’s just us two

Trust me, take my hand
Let me show you, what it's like to be my man

I'll show you the stars
I’ll give you the moon

I’ll treat you like a king
Tell me what you need
Baby anything

Because I’m your only girl
You bring the sunshine
Never clouds in the sky
When you're by my side

You are, everything and more
Truly, someone I adore
That’s why, I’ll go out my way
To make sure, that you’re okay

I'll show you the stars (I’ll show you the stars)

Because I’m your only girl

(Never clouds in the sky) Never clouds in the sky
When you're by my side
(The sparks just ignite) The sparks just ignite

You can look at me
And see I'm trying
If actions speak louder than words
You'll know I'm not lying
I'm a big girl, no baby
Tryna stop from crying
But this is the state that I'm at, since you won't come back

I want you to come back babe
I swear I’ve got my act babe
Telling truths, no jokes, no laughs babe
You know who I'm talking to, it's you

Remember when
It was just you and I
I remember then
Thought I'd have you for life
But you can blame it on me
I switched it up 180
I take the responsibility
Sincerely sorry

But you can look at me
And see I'm trying
If actions speak louder than words
You'll know I'm not lying
I'm a big girl, no baby
Tryna stop from crying
But this is the state that I'm at, since you won't come back

I want you to come back babe
I swear I’ve got my act babe
Telling truths, no jokes, no laughs babe
You know who I'm talking to, it's you

I know you think I'm crazy
But I'm so serious baby
I know I got on your nerves
Happy memories a blur
But I tested the water
No need to try, no bother
Wish sooner I saw the clues
Cuz no one's better than you

Hope you hear this, hope this reaches you in time
It's been a few years, I still, have you, on my mind
I'm not fine
Knowing that you're somewhere out there
Without me, with another maybe
And if you have another girl

You know, that's not, where you, belong
Why don't, you just, come on home

But you can look at me
And see I'm trying
If actions speak louder than words
You'll know I'm not lying
I'm a big girl, no baby
Tryna stop from crying
But this is the state that I'm at, since you won't come back

But you can look at me
And see I'm trying
If actions speak louder than words
You’ll know I'm not lying
I'm a big girl, no baby
Tryna stop from crying
But this is the state that I'm at…

But you can look at me
My actions speak louder than my words
I'm a big girl no baby, no baby
But this is the state that I'm at

Leave it all in the past
The pain, won't always last
Only if you let it
But promise you'll regret it
And you can remember that I said it
If you let it control your life
Nothing will ever come out right
Believe me I know it
Seen it, done it, learned before

He left you at the age of 2 (of 2)
Charge it to the game as a lesson boo
You walk around with, hate in your heart every day
And that's not the way to live (not the way to live)
Just cuz he did what he did (did what he did)
And that's what’s destroying you
And everyone you come in contact with
Has to deal with the absence
Of your father never ever being present

You’re gonna end up alone
Taking it out on everyone
What he did was wrong
But you’re not the only one
That has to deal with it

Leave it all in the past
The pain, won't always last
Only if you let it
But promise you'll regret it
And you can remember that I said it
If you let it control your life
Nothing will ever come out right
Believe me I know it
Seen it, done it, learned before

He left you in two (in two)
Broken pieces of your heart with no glue
To put it back together
You used to think you were so clever
Cuz never did you think (never did you think)
A man could break your spirit
Now every man that you come into contact with
Has to deal with it
You've become nothing but pure bitterness

You’re gonna end up alone
Taking it out on everyone
What he did was wrong
But you’re not the only one
That has to deal with it

Leave it all in the past
The pain, won't always last
Only if you let it
But promise you'll regret it
And you can remember that I said it
If you let it control your life
Nothing will ever come out right
Believe me I know it
Seen it, done it, learned before

Cause I’ve seen it, done it, learned before
This ain’t, advice, you should ignore
Get that hate up out your heart, that ain’t cool
No one wants to deal with a bitter fool
I feel the hate in your heartbeat
Hear bitterness when you speak
See grudges you carry
I know it makes you weary
Deny it if you want to
But when is the last time that you
Enjoyed life for what it’s worth
Just let go of all the hurt

(Leave it all) Leave it all in the past
The pain, (time heals everything) won't always last
Only if you let it
But promise you'll regret it (you’ve just got to be willing)
And you can remember that I said it
If you let it control your life
(Nothing will change) Nothing will ever come out right
Believe me I know it (I know it, I’ve seen it, I’ve done it)
Seen it, done it, learned before

Leave it all in the past
(No it won’t) The pain, won't always last
Only if you let it (there will be better days, just listen to me when I say)
But promise you'll regret it
And you can remember that I said it
If you let it control your life (don’t let it control your life)
Nothing will ever come out right
(Life is more than that, there is more to life than that, more to life than that) Believe me I know it
Seen it, done it, learned before

See everyone has this thing
That makes them see things differently
Cuz what don't kill you, should only make you stronger
Hate in your heart you should no longer
Have, because you know life is not about that
Take the L and walk away
Tomorrow promises better days

I, try, to hide
And keep it all inside
But I, cry
Cuz you're no longer in my life

And I
Am left here to die
And all
I can ask God is why
How could
He take the best thing from me
And leave
Me here feeling so empty

I, try, every day, to keep my head held high
I, miss, you more than you'll ever know
But
They, say, it'll get better, just pray
But I
Don't, think, that'll take all the pain away

I, go, every day
Missing you so
But I, know
You're in a better place so I must let go

Of all
The feelings I harbor inside
Cuz l'm
So angry all the time
I know
That we have no control
Of how
Our life will come and go

I, try, every day, to keep my head held high
I, miss, you more than you'll ever know
But
They, say, it'll get better, just pray
But I
Don't, think, that'll take all the pain away

I don't know why
Don't know
You had to leave (think of you everywhere you are)
Just make sure you
Visit me in my dreams
That's how I'll know you're with me
I know this
I know
Is not goodbye (you're my angel smiling down on me)
I’ll see you again in due time
I know you're somewhere in the sky

(Every day it’s a struggle to be okay) I, try, every day, to keep my head held high
(I look to the sky) I, miss (as the rain becomes my cry), you more than you'll ever know
But
(They tell me that) They, say, it'll get better (I need it to I really do), just pray
But I
Don't, think (I don’t think I can believe but I’m trying), that'll take all the pain away

You told me, that I could trust you
With every piece of my heart
You'll never tear it apart
Cause I confided in you, about the last time
I went out on the limb
And returned with nothing
You said, that is not who you are
So tell me why l'm
Left with these scars

Cuz now, I have to deal, with this pain, please come back baby

Why'd you do me like that
Please come back, I want it back
Why'd you push me away, please say you'll stay, won't you stay
Why can’t I be your girl, need you in my world, you're my world
Why won't you answer me, please call me, I'm calling

Sitting here wondering
Got me here pondering
About the events
That led up to this
Because I don't see, any patterns or clues
Or changes in your mood
That would have led you
To leave me alone
Never did you wrong
So why am I left, singing this song

Cuz now, I have to deal, with this pain, please come back baby

Why'd you do me like that
Please come back, I want it back
Why'd you push me away, please say you'll stay, won't you stay
Why can’t I be your girl, need you in my world, you're my world
Why won't you answer me, please call me, I'm calling

What is going on, please come on back home
Please pick up when I call, I just want to talk that's all
I have to hear ya voice, since seeing you ain’t a choice
Just come home back please, these four walls are taunting

Why'd you do me like that
Please come back, I want it back
Why'd you push me away, please say you'll stay, won't you stay
Why can’t I be your girl, need you in my world, you're my world
Why won't you answer me, please call me, I'm calling

Why'd you do me like that
Please come back, I want it back
Why'd you push me away, please say you'll stay, won't you stay
Why can’t I be your girl, need you in my world, you're my world
Why won't you answer me, please call me, I'm calling

But now I know, you’re my only type

Cuz you, grind hard for us
Cuz you, never abuse my trust
Cuz you, don’t give these heffas a chance
Cuz you, love me for who I am
And you, are intelligent
And you, also have common sense
And you, are a handsome gent
And you, keep God within
And that’s why

You tell me, every day

Because you’ve, looked high and low
And no one, even came close

Cuz I, grind hard for us
Cuz I, never abuse your trust
Cuz I, give no chance to these dudes
Cuz I, love you for you
And I, am intelligent
And I, also have common sense
And I, am attractive

I know that, you’ll keep me close, you always sight me though the smoke

I would definitely
Go to war for you
Count that as a day
Where I win, they lose
Try to stop us
We just laugh at them fools
Dispel rumors
Block ignorant views
Gotta keep us strong
Protect us from wrong
We stay prayed up
It takes way more than luck
They wanna see us down
They wanna see us part
But the foundation was
Built right from the start

You give more than, you do take, I like that babe
And you know, I appreciate that
I give it right back
That’s why our love
Is where it’s at

Yup, you, should
Know me now, know me now, know me now
If, you, don't
Then you will, then you will, then you will

Yup, you, (you should) should
Know me now, (know me now, know me now, know me know, know me now, know me now, know me now) know me now, know me now
If, you, (if you don’t) don't (you will)

For those that don't know let me introduce myself to you
I am C.Nichole from Apollo's Interlude
And for those that have rocked with me ever since
Let me say what's up, daps and hugs for all my friends

I am just me
Far from cocky
One thing I know
I'm different so

Don't try to compare me to that other chick
There is nothing about us that is kindred
Just because we both sing doesn't mean we sound the same
Similar looks doesn't mean we share the same DNA

Yup, you, (you should) should
Know me now, (know me now, know me now, know me know, know me now, know me now, know me now) know me now, know me now
If, you, (if you don’t) don't (you will)
Then you will, (then you will, then you will, then you will, then you will, then you will, then you will) then you will, then you will

Hope you have a better understanding
Reaching to be the best, gold star for outstanding
But I do what I like, never follow the crowd
I'm not gonna conform to your world, I was born a wild child
I can't assign any value to your opinions
I am such a tyrant I have a hard time listening
I just do this for me hoping that you feel the same
If you don't then that's okay, just go on about cha day

Yeah you should know me, cause I'm not leaving
If you don't then you will, I'm just gonna pick a spot and chill
I am just getting started, so attention to the whole department
I’ll be here for a while, whether you greet me with a smile or a frown

I am just me
Far from cocky
One thing I know
I'm different so

It's okay if you don't understand my melodies
It's okay if you don't comprehend the words I say
It's okay if you think I'm crazy
It's okay, just rock with cha girl anyway

Yeah, you, should
Know me now, know me now
If, you, don't
Then you will, then you will
