Affirmations and sound healing are a big part of my creative and wellness practice as an artist. After spending 7 months in Jamaica with my mom, my cup was filled with so much love, peace, and joy that I had no choice but to share the overflow. The videos I created were invited people to affirm themselves & “Repeat After Me,” and day by day my community made their way to me. After seeing the immense response across all platforms, I was inspired to write a song.
This song was inspired by the abundance of love I present in my family. The lyric "I am loved eternally" emphasizes my relationship with God and the love I get to experience from the most high, my family and my ancestors. My time in Jamaica allowed me to heal so I poured it into a record. I teamed up with my brother AJ to create a melody that sonically healed listeners third eye chakra (A), root chakra (C) and heart chakra (F). After settling on the melody, I hit up my brother Proda to take the song to the next level with production and he ended up fusing nature, space sounds and drill elements to create the world of Affirmation. Creating this art was a labor of love, it wouldn’t have been possible without community and collaboration. I dedicate this piece to my mother who transitioned in Fall 2021 and know that this song honors the legacy of love she bestowed in me as she continues to watch over me.
lyrics
Hook
I am loved eternally
I am free to be
I’ve got everything I need in me I believe
I am free, I found peace
I am free, I found peace
Verse 1:
I got all that I need
Know my name & I know what it means
Indigo same color as my genes
Income’s been residual make dollars in my dreams
Pre-Hook:
Though they try to take away my peace
I still choose to be carefree
Hook:
I am love eternally
I am free to be
I’ve got everything I need in me I believe
I am free, I found peace
I am free, I found peace
Bridge
Repeat after Me
I am free
I am free
Verse 2:
I am divine
I value my time
I focus on present living I got no need to rewind
See my chakras dem all aligned
And I’m Focusing on my grind
When I’m looking for cheat codes
I pray for downloads
Remove what does not align
Pre-Hook:
Though they try to take away my peace
I still choose to be carefree
Hook:
I am love eternally
I am free to be
I’ve got everything I need in me I believe
I am free, I found peace
I am free, I found peace
Outro:
I am free
I am free
You could never get through to me
