lyrics

I’ve got two faces
One like the hand of God
No one wants to see it
But Ima hafta hafta set it off
You love breakin hearts you
You wield your power over me
This soft heart go hard
Ima make ya pay
My paperheart gon cut ya

I got a paperheart
I tear so easy
I got a paperheart
I cut so fast
You got a pen to paint your love upon me
I’m like a canvas blank
Your colors smash
Smash

You betta leave your old ways
You betta give it up
You betta find another way
Baby I had enough
You could be my lover
My brother, my friend
You choosin heartbreaker
So you wanna play with paperhearts gon cut ya

I got a paperheart
I tear so easy
I got a paperheart
I cut so fast
You got a pen to paint your love upon me
I’m like a canvas blank
Your colors smash
Smash

The depth and complexity of her buttery alto on Patterns, her debut project, has garnered critical acclaim from Afropunk, Earmilk, KQED & more. ... more
