Track Name: Joie - It's All Good (Prod. by Sarom)
---Verse 1---
I’m up in NY just livin it up
Late nights in the studio rippin it up
They be seeing me on the screen cause I’m doing things
Now everybody from high school be hitting me up
New life, different style, same me
That’s what’s making me so respected in the streets
I do what I want
I’m a grown woman
I can change my phone number if I don’t wanna be reached
No, I’m not being bougie
I just don’t know anyone that swear they ever knew me
So, I’m making moves now
Forget the past love
We celebrating our future so put ya glass up

---Hook---
It’s a celebration
Make a toast to every that’s hatin
Cause it’s been a long time
And I been on my grind
I’m finally getting mine right now
So it’s all good (It’s all good)
Yeah, cause it’s all good (It’s all good)
Uh Huh, it’s all good (It’s all good)
Yeah, cause it’s all good (It’s all good)

---Verse 2---
Tev told me all I gotta do is be myself
And in return everybody would love it
But just because I choose to give em my all
Don’t mean that everybody gon want it
So what I did, I took a trip up the states
No home, no job, no place for me to stay
Performed at a talent show, blew em all away
And been grinding ever since making hits everyday
Yeah, so they know I’m on the come up
Game locked like Mario, I got the 1up
I’m hung up on doing my job
Forget a 9 to 5
I thrive to live the good life, so I’m getting mine

---Hook---

---Bridge---
And for those that don’t know me,
I bet you wanna know me know
Yeah, and those fakes and phonies
We are not homies now
Look at me now
I’m livin it up
I don’t even drink, but you could pour me a cup
Cause I’m livin it up
Yeah, I’m livin it up
I got no hard feelings
Yeah, I got no hard feelings
Nah, I got no hard feelings
Yeah, yeah, cause it’s all good
It’s all good
It’s all good

Track Name: Joie - Humming Birds in the Hood
---Verse 1---
Just an ordinary day
Caught up in the routine habits around the way
Dudes on the corner
Children hard at play
Women gossip about each other as they smile in your face and
We up in cement parks,
Playgrounds with crooked slides and swings falling apart
Every couple blocks a random piece of work of art
It’s mural after mural, but the guns steady shooting
Cause crimes rates high and unemployment’s higher
Young kids working jobs, but always getting fired
No help for the elderly,
Who cares if they’re retired,
Cause these republicans don’t want their taxes getting higher
What a shame? Things really ain’t all good but who to blame?
It’s everybody’s fault equally
I would save the world, but though I wish I could
The rarity of seeing humming birds in the hood

---Verse 2---
I’m 19 years old
Had to jump start my life cause I’m on my own
Moms living in a shelter no house no home
And this the first time I paid my phone bill on my own
But I fell behind at school, ain’t apply for my loans
So I might have to spend next semester alone
Tryna make a couple dollars working minimum wage
Cause writing rhymes in my room don’t bring in the pay
But hey, I got dreams so I guess I’ll chase them
Times running out so there’s no time wasted
Instructions for life aren’t written on paper
So every opportunity I get I’ll take it
And my friends used to always say “Jordan, you’ll make it”
Though at the time, I ain’t really think I could
But a birdy told me courage was all that it took
So look at me now
A hummingbird from the hood.
Track Name: Joie - Love Me Like I Do
---Hook---
What’s wrong girl?
This is your song girl
Don’t care what anybody thinks about you
This is for you boy
Be proud of you boy

Ain’t nobody gon love me like I do
Ain’t nobody gon love me like I do
Ain’t nobody gon love me like I do

2x

---Verse 1---
This one is for the gentlemen
Who respect the girls more than a little bit
And his friends laugh at em cuase they ignorant
And only concerned bout the next chick they getting with
Yeah, and this one is for the ladies
That got class, not acting all crazy
And the one that’s in school with a baby
That got two jobs tryna make that gravy
Aye boy, I see you doing your thing
Don’t worry bout what they sayin
They hatin cause you a king
Instead of playing these games
You tryna put a ring on the girl that’ll be your future queen
Aye girl, I see you holding it down
Tryna be mom and dad cause the fathers not around
Yeah, I been through bad times, too.
So if you feeling down this song’s for you

---Hook---

---Verse 2---
Why these cool kids always trippin?
Cause I’m not into name brand spending
I wear entrée shirts, not polo
And I ain’t gotta buy out SOHO
And these other chicks think I’m a weirdo
Cause I’m a tomboy dressed down hair low
Yeah, I’m authentically crafted
Cut from a different cloth, brand new fabric
Look at me now, I’m on a lil tour
College kid, GPA 3.4
I’m grinding, making money, need I say more
Bandjos for sale, young entrepreneur
I’m the same chick they picked on in school
Talked behind my back and played me for a fool
Yeah, I been through bad times, too
So if you feeling down, this one’s for you

Track Name: Joie - Lookin Spiffy
Haters on my jock but it’s okay
Aye, what you got to say
You know I’m fresher than Olay
Reppin Philly everyday
I be all around the way
And parlay out of states
Head to Toe and Entrée
Yay!! Give it up for me
I don’t even drink but I can buy the bar for free
Cause I know a couple G’s
And I’m friends with some geeks
that be up in NY where the city never sleeps
So baby follow me
You know I gotta twitter
Joie girl, I’m famous, you should probably take a picture
Oh you got a girlfriend? Boy you should quit her
Cause I can rock your world
I’m somewhere off the Rictor
Ain’t another chicken with a style like mine
I’m a rebel I can do whatever I like
And my mindless behavior makes me Mrs. Right
So please don’t get me wrong, but we partying tonight
Cause you know what it is
When I come around
I’m dancing through ya city,
Lookin spiffy in ya town
You know what it is
When I come around
I’m dancing through ya city,
Lookin spiffy in ya town
Track Name: Joie - World Alone
---Verse 1---
They give me the cold shoulder
Like dead bodies in the winter time
The haters I have were also once friends of mine
Inclined to believe they liked me for me
But I see with no vision that is clear
It’s very tainted
And your artistry, every perfect picture painted
Was hand-crafted by the evils of your character
I was so naive so I can’t even be mad at ya
Hate, that’s what haters do
Something so spectacular
Mad cause, everyone accepted me
They’re threatened by the way I ball
That’s why they be checking me
Wanna know what’s cooking but,
I ain’t giving recipes
Decapitation is the only way you’ll get ahead of me.
I see
I peep game when people play it
Cause what they thinking is never what they really saying
So cool story bro, I know I’m amazing
Destined for greatness
And they mad God could create this cause

---Hook---
I’m a problem, I’m a problem
Don’t fit your equation
I hear these haters talking
I don’t care what they’re saying
I face this world alone, I face this world alone
I face this world alone, I face this world alone

---Verse 2---
I look in the mirror for the person that I was
And staring back is the individual I’ve become
Once loved by many, and hated by some
Now envied by a lot and respected by none
See, they hate when you relate to the greats they can’t relate to
They mistake you for being average Joes or plain Janes
Don’t conform to doing the things that they do,
Forget tryna be like the fakes
I will just replace you
Osama is my name
Terrorizing the game
I took a plane and dropped bombs on every bodies’ names
Such a shame cause the people that you idolize are lame
Who are they without the money and fame?
Just humans in the same
Yet, I get criticized for speaking all that is real
Hearts broken, and people getting killed
And everybody still wants to talk about sex, drugs, and money
I think its funny cause these the only dummies getting deals

Track Name: Joie - Boss Lady
---Verse 1---
Funky fresh in my unlaced kicks
This chick walks the strip with a sway in her hips
Lip gloss on my lips
And this coke bottle frame make em wanna take a sip

Yeah, you cute but I aint gon flip

So yeah you got game, but no you cant hit

Cause that’s the only way you’ll be getting my number
And so what you got a car
Oh you swear you can take me far
Joie girl

I call shots like I work at a bar

---Hook---
I’m feeling myself
So you can’t tell me nothing
This chick is fly
I’m fresh pressed, no buttons
I be stuntin like a boss lady
Stuntin like a boss lady
Stuntin like a boss lady

---Verse 2---
Never, I repeat never will I ever
Let a man do my job when I can do it better
Clever? Yes
Put me to the test cause I school these fools on fresh
This dude right here, he tryna be the next
But I’m the Queen B so I send em to the left
You tryna spit game? Well, baby I’m the ref
And if ya name ain’t Khaled, stop thinking you the best
You must not know my name boy
