krotix really well thought out blend of soul and jazzy/folk elements that seem to come from the heart as opposed to having to deliver music at the drop of a hat. Favorite track: Lift Every Voice and Sing.

Blood shed in a war, Truth right at the door. No allies anymore, It’s only me I'm fighting for. It’s a big picture to You, Just admiring the view. But I’m still here With a million questions in my head. Crowd surf across the ocean To calm my fears of going under Out of focus tryna find my way Crowd surf across the ocean To calm my fears of going under Out of focus tryna find my way Can you handle the truth? Do you know what’s good for you? I’ve gotta find out, before my time is out. Don’t let the world burden you. Can you handle the truth? Life’s not always as pretty as it looks. Don’t let your guard down. Keep your fight alive. Run your race till you make it to the finish line. Open eyes can see wrong. They choose not to respond Wonder why things always stay the same Walking around like you've made a change Don’t judge a book till you pick it up and read about the problem And decide if you’re gonna do something to fix it. We all complain but we’ve gotta stand up and make a change. I’ve been under the fear is gone. Eyes are focused now I’m moving on. I’ve been under the fear is gone. Eyes are focused now I’m moving on. Can you handle the truth? Do you know what’s good for you? I’ve gotta find out, before my time is out. Don’t let the world burden you. Can you handle the truth? Life’s not always as pretty as it looks. Don’t let your guard down. Keep your fight alive. Run your race till you make it to the finish line.

Wayside 05:25
By the wayside, I’m comin' by Just me, I’m comin'. No one to tell but my other side By the wayside I’m coming' yeah Friends on the other side I didn’t leave them behind I just fell in line on my way Stepping hard this time Feet on the grind, cuz I’m comin' Heading to the wayside What I’ll find down by, I don’t know this time Blind eyes can’t see But I’m warm inside In Him I know that I’ll be alright Walk on, walk on to the wayside Built up like a mountain high I can see it when I squint my eyes Something majestic reaching to the skies Wonder in my eyes but I’m certain of what I’ll find I’ll meet You down by the wayside By the wayside, I’m comin' by Just me, I’m comin'. No one to tell but my other side By the wayside I’m coming' yeah

Found a Way 04:25
I’m tryna' to find a way I gotta be with You I’m looking for a way I gotta be with You I need to find a way I gotta be with You Oh yes I do, Oh yes I do You say seek and you shall find You say knock and the door shall be opened While I’m out here looking, I don’t always seem to find what’s right Confusion swirling everywhere Walking around You without a care I’ve gotta get it together And figure out how I can do better 'Cuz I’m tryna' to find a way I gotta be with You I’m looking for a way I gotta be with You I need to find a way I gotta be with You Oh yes I do, Oh yes I do 'Cuz I’m tryna' find a way The way is tough You never promised it’d be easy So I question why You need me Imperfection at its finest You taught me to deny this When You reminded me that I’m Your highness A royal queen hand crafted by the King of Kings A daughter, to the highest name this world has ever seen A light, shining for all the world to see You made me, now it’s time for me to take heed You've done your part, I hear Your voice loud and clear Gotta pick up my mess, dust off this worldly flesh Clothed in righteousness, dripping with mighty power I can face the towering giants they'll always devour me But with You I just brush 'um off Knowing I come from a Holy King, You’ll always brush 'um off You picked me up, revived my soul and now I’m clean I’m on this journey, You’re the only one I’ll ever need 'Cuz now I've found a way I know how to be with You No longer looking for a way I know how to be with You Oh now I've found a way I know how to be with You Oh yes I do, Oh yes I do
