Verse 1 He wakes us in the morning has his coffee black no sugar, no cream ain't got no time for that People and bills fight for space in his mind no time to worry got to get on his grind Chorus And he moves, and he lives and the very best of his heart he gives He's got soul, soul, soul Verse 2 A gentleman always wearing a smile Keeps his nose to the grindstone all the while Money's funny and it's no joke does what he can not to give up hope Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Seasons change but his life's the same Only oy when he hears his name called by the babies who's last name the same He smiles, he smiles Emotional rescue is what he needs This hole in heart will always bleed til love comes along and the verses re-write his song Chorus

Love Is Love 04:00
Verse 1 Early morning sun, sunshine in my eyes I roll over kiss your face Early morning laughter, early morning chatter You hold me and kiss my face What will we do, long as I am with you really doesn't matter and it's ok Let's stay in bed all day Who does that? I say You say trust me, and we do Chorus Love is me, love is you Love is us doing what lovers do Love is me, love is you love is us doing what livers do Verse 2 You show me you I show you me And we see things we'd never seen How could this be so complimentary? Written in the stars this time for "we" We share some laughter we share some pain now we know each each other and we're Ok See me running to you (I) see you running to me Now we're together and we're "we"... Chorus

Verse 1 Maybe it's her smile Maybe it's her style Maybe she's worth my while that would be cool Maybe she'll pass my way Gotta think of somethin' to say Maybe she'll give me play That would be cool Chorus She's don't even know that she workin me (3xs) and it's cool Verse 2 Maybe she'll take a chance Maybe we could dance Maybe this is romance That would be cool Repeat Chorus Bridge So if it's cool let me rock ya Roll ya if it's cool And if its cool let me move ya Groove ya If it's cool Repeat chorus ;

Verse 1 I've heard it said that love don't love nobody Crazy notion They don't know love Only fools believe ev'rything that say You gotta take a chance and feel the emotion Like a puppy like a child Love is always by your side Why would you run from what you want? Why would you run from what you need? Chorus Oooh Love is easy Love will make it right (repeat chorus) Verse 2 You took a chance It didn't work Take a moment let your heart rest It hurt a little Or it hurt a lot You say you're through with love but you're not The music's playin take a chance Get on up from there it's time to dance Why would you run from what you need? How could you run from what you want? Chorus Vamp: Tune in to see the frequency of the love you need Don't hide from me No mystery It's love you need This hide and seek is incomplete I'm here to say I'm here to stay I won't go away Don't hesitate You can't have love til you give it, give it away Chorus

Stay With Me 04:11
Verse 1 We fall in and out of love playing games but love's not playin with us Took a minute to learn it's not me it's us Give us a chance we'll show the world romance still lives if we give and trust Chorus Stay with me baby and we will be what has never been Stay with me baby and we'll be what has never been Verse 2 You and me we've played the parts We've had the broken hearts but now no more Where there's a will there are ways for brighter days so don't go, I pray Chorus
10.
Verse 1 She does her hair just right this might be the night Spritz of perfume out the door to Maybe meet him, maybe see him Got her hopes high despite the tears she's cried She sits down has a drink feels her heart sink Can't stand the ritual believes love is simple He's got to be out there someone who really cares and He's looking for her when he calls she'll answer Chorus When love comes to the rescue When love comes She'll be ready When love comes to the rescue When love comes she'll be ready Verse 2 He just got off work and his body hurts Pizza and TV is his company his mind is racing heart is aching He asks the question Where's the love for me? He tried to socialize Saw through empty minds Saw through empty smiles Noone's really there He keeps hoping, he keeps searching Knowing he will find someone who really cares Chorus When love comes to the rescue When love comes he'll be ready When love comes to the rescue When love comes he'll be ready Verse 3 They cross paths on the street and their eyes meet their hearts start racing there's no mistaking This was destiny love was meant to be and the best of all they hear love call Chorus When love comes to the rescue When love comes She'll be ready When love comes to the rescue When love comes he'll be ready If life is but a dream they're living it If love's a fantasy they're loving it If life is but a dream they're living it If love's a fantasy they're loving it When love comes to the rescue When love comes She'll be ready When love comes to the rescue When love comes he'll be ready

Verse 1 Amazing grace how sweet that sound that saved the man I was I was lost now I'm claimed Been bought by his blood, I thank you Chorus (2x) I just want to thank you, Lord b'cause you loved me b'cause you love me first Verse 2 So dark the days too short the nights So much pain No end in sight Jesus came and lifted up my head He became My best friend Chorus

about

Thanks to my parents, Hartsel & Ginger, my siblings, Khalfani, Garland, Kendrick & JacQuinne.

To my Gift of Life Ministries family especially Pastors David & Gladys Rainey

To My Greater Harvest family, Apostle David B. Lay, Minister Reginald Scott, Deborah Muse, and Prophet Brandon Allen.

To my Brown Mackie College family, especially Mrs. Cynthia A.Jenkins and the Business Management Class of 2016 - the experience was priceless and unforgettable

To Anthony Antione, Jaeforte, Gene Baker, & Christopher Beckwith, my personal league of extraordinary gentlemen. This couldn't have been done without the genius that each of you so generously shared with me.

To Kevin Gualterio Killebrew, though you did not live to see or hear this, you are never far from me.


I cannot think of the most suiting words to express my relationship with God. This CD is the product of a seed planted back at a moment when I had been rejected. God is faithful to His word.

I wanted to present a project of music that was unapologetically inclusive and undeniably positive. Nothing is more precious than love...treasure it...

Love always,

Hartsel


This CD has the distinction of having three songs with distinctive differences, yet the same song. "He's Got Soul" has two different versions, yet it is the same song. "Do You Wanna Dance" has a studio version and an extended play house music inspired version."She's Workin' Me" and "He's Workin Me" are the same exact song, however, there was consideration for gender identity, with the gender being interchangeable by preference.
