                     Intro & Dedication Message:

My love life has certainly attributed to the lyrics that you'll find here but before I start there I want to thank my family (My Parents, Grandparents, Brother & My Uncles) for their undying love and support. Not only are you all my biggest fans but you have been there for me through trying times and I want all of you to know that I love you sincerely - so keep praying that I sell some songs and get a hit record! 

To the loves of my life "Melody & Lyric" I wouldn't have accepted the challenge to pen you guys down if it wasn't for the fact that you keep humming in my head all the time leaving me no other choice but to Day Dream and think of all the many ways to hook you two up. I Thank God for the Gift of musical vision and Words...

To Calvin Richardson, thank you for being a friend and a huge inspiration. Meeting you was the extra boost that I needed to follow my dreams whole heartedly. When you said to me, "... you definitely have a beautiful way with words..." I just knew that the phrase would be the perfect title for this project. You have helped me to realized that being humble is very important and that starting small fires close together is better than starting huge fires spread out here and there. Your kindness will never be forgotten - Much luv2u! - Kesha*

Mr. Grant, (Ian) you're alright with me. Thank you for always offering words of encouragement, giving me tough love and thanks for teaching me the ropes of promoting and negotiating. Even though I know you've held back a few tricks of the trade, thanks for giving me as much insight on the game as you possibly could. More than anything I appreciate how you keep your door open and you're always available to offer advice. Thanks for being straight forward and direct and thanks for being a friend. My first year going into this business could have been a whole lot tougher but you sort of cushioned the falls. Much luv2u! - Kesha*

To Tyrese Gibson - thanks a million!! Thanks for calling me, inspiring me and passing on your good vibes. Your hype personality is so contiguous! Much luv2u! Hey How's ya' 5 lookin'?

To the Ex Factors: No hard feelings - All is Fair in Love & War - Right? Thanks for the experience, life wouldn't be the same if I never have meet you guys. These songs, these words have been collecting dust since my first heartbreak at the age of 17 so if you read a line or two and find your self saying hey ... that's sounds like she's talking about me. Well, pinch yourself because you're not dreaming and it probably is about you. Just know that I hold no grudges, I only hope that my words and songs will add comfort to those who have experienced the same things that I have. I really pray that love has found a secure place in your hearts - Much luv2u Kesha*

Hello kids, I didn't forget about my babies ... you're family too but you all get your own separate paragraph! I love you kids more than you know. My life's goal is to give you all the things that I didn't have gowning up, to make sure that you have a good head-start on life and to protect you from bad things as much as I possibly can. Thank you for keeping Mommy in check ... I love you all so much. Thank you for being patient with me, listening to me make up a new song on long drives, singing in the shower, singing early in the morning and singing late at night. You kids are the sunshine of my life, and that's why (I'm singing): You're marvelous, wonderful, extraordinary glorious that's what you are that's what you are! (Never forget that song) Much luv2 my children!

Last but never least, to my supporters, my friends ... I don't have fans lol; thanks so much for keepin' it real - it means a lot and your continued support means even more! Much luv2u all! Enjoy the lyrics and songs and continue to spread My Words!!

Song 1) "I Wanna Know Why" Copyright © January 22, 2007

"I Wanna Know Why" is  a song that begs for an answer. The woman patiently waits for her man to come home. Then once he's there she begs for details, a simple explaination and then she let's him know that the who-what-when -where and how doesn't even matter anymore because she's moving on.

Song 2) "He's My Man" Copyright © January 22, 2007

A defiant young girl is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that her man is a good man. It doesn't matter what family or friends have to say or what they advise because she says, "He's My Man". When I wrote this song I really just thought about my personal experiences as a young woman and how my family was very much in my business. After hearing this song my Mom and Dad immediately related with it and they both felt as though I was speaking of a real life situation which included them.

Song 3) "My Turn Now" Copyright © January 22, 2007

Imagine being completely satisfied with the love and affection that you receive from that special someone in your life. Filled with nothing but the desire to please her man this woman communicates to her man by using soft spoken word and song. She offers to cater to his needs from the time he walks through the door until it's time to make love. This song derive from a poem that I wrote.

Song 4) "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" Copyright © January 22, 2007

Love almost lost because of imature ways, yet just as it seems to be all over the victum of conditioned love just can't resist coming back to wipe her tears. The girl instantly realizes that having his love is worth changing her ways and it feels so good to have yet another try at love until she says,if I'm dreamin' or in heaven please let me be.

Song 5) "Anywhere With You" Copyright © January 22, 2007

This one is sort has a folk sound. Using analogies that are related to the different seasons of the year, the ocean and other dynamics of the earth. Lyrically this is a very simple song, but I'd like to think that the heartfelt meaning in the words and the catchy melody is what will keep people excited about hearing it again and again!

I Wanna Love You

Song 7) "Let's Start Over" Copyright © 2008

This is my break up to make up song; starting over, changing ways, hanging in there type of song! This song's melody has some jazz influence and the lyrical content is quit poetic using some rhyming endings in a few verses. This song took me years to complete ...

Let's Start Over - Jazz

Song 8) "Love Is Blind" Copyright © 2008

Said I wouldn't gonna be a fool no more. Said I wouldn't gonna let the pain hit the door on my heart. Said I wouldn't gonna let you lead me blind. But now I see, what they mean, when they say love is blind...
That's the opening verse of what I would call one of the hardest songs for me to complete! Though the song will probably relate to the masses because at some point the broken heart has spoken out and said, "I'm not doing it again"! But because we fail to see love coming we fall back in love with our eyes wide open. Eventually realizing that love captured us and we didn't even see it coming!

Song 18) "Captured by Your Love" Copyright © 2008

This song started out with an up tempo melody and then one day my mood changed and I felt like the song should be delivered with a much softer approach. It speaks of how I was in a comfort zone, satisfied with life as is; until I met this man who captured my heart.

Song 19) "I Gotta Find Me" Copyright © 2008

This song describes how a young woman discovers that she really doesn't know who she is or want she wants. After being wrapped up in a world of dreams and goals that weren't hers; she decides that it is time for her to find out what she wants out of life.

Song 21) "I See A Queen" Copyright © January 22, 2007

I See A Queen - R&B or Inspirational - View Lyrics
This song describes how I began to realize that I am a beautiful woman on the inside and outside. Through this song I hope to  encourage women to look deep inside for their beauty. I'm sure that many women will be able to relate to the story because societies image of a perfect woman can make the "Plain Jane" feel pressured to keep up or change. I also experienced a lot of and emotional and physical abuse from men and I often felt as though I wasn't good enough. But this song is my anthem and I hope it well serve as an Anthem for women in all walks of life.
