lyrics

Well you think I don’t have what it takes
You think I’ll always stay in second place
(Girl why could you never see, all the possibilities)

And you sure got all the reasons why
It ain’t gon’ work out just the way I planned
(Seems you were not listening to that voice deep within)

Can’t let fear define my actions, steal my dreams and paralyze me
I’m gon’ break free from this cage of insecurity because I’ve learned to love me

So I shout it! (I’m coming out!)

Don’t matter what has knocked me down, picking myself up is all that counts
(Dust yourself off. It builds character)
Don’t matter who has done me wrong, it only makes me stronger
(Look out now she’s coming at ya)

Try to make a fool of me and take advantage of my inexperience
I laugh loudest now
You can’t shake my faith
No, not a chance

Shout it! (I’m coming out!)

If I don’t know what I’m worth
Who’ll put my best interest first?
I’ve paid my dues
Followed misguided rules
Now finally it’s my turn
My voice will be heard

I’m ready to soar
You can’t stop me
I’ve been set free
I shout it loud and clear

about

Jewelle McKenzie Montreal, Québec

Ain’t It Good, which Jewelle wrote and produced, combines Swing, R&B, and Jazz, spiced with Gospel vocals and a little Rock for an eclectic style that is all her own, making the bold statement that she is not a woman looking for anyone’s approval. Clearly she makes no concessions to pop trends or compromises the character of her artistry as she charms and disarms with her voice and music. ... more
