With influences ranging from Marvin Gaye to Cyndi Lauper, Treasureβs distinctive vocals and intoxicating personality are what set her apart and caught the attention of Mark Pitts, President of Urban Music, RCA Records and CEO of Bystorm Entertainment. Her first single βSomeone Newβ featuring Hip-Hop legend Slick Rick is an infectious, fun song capturing the moment when you realize it might be time to find a new boo. Melodically delivered over a familiar Slick Rick sample, Treasureβs effortless vocals take you on a journey back and forth between keeping her man and cutting him loose.
The Los Angeles beauty has been singing for as long as she can remember. Raised in a creative and nurturing home - her mother a painter and singer, her father an accomplished sculptor and Urban Art gallery owner - Treasure stayed on the heels of her multiple instruments playing older twin siblings by using her voice as her instrument of choice. βI was always harmonizing and trying to keep up with them by singingβ recalls Treasure.
A chance meeting with a music producer at a local McDonaldβs would be the kick start to her music career. After the producerβs failed attempt at getting a girl group off the ground, the late night studio sessions lead her down the path of songwriting. Shortly thereafter, Treasure had the opportunity to meet the music director of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno which resulted in her landing background singing gigs for artists such as Keyshia Cole, Kelly Price, Keri Hilson and Nicki Minaj, and ultimately earning songwriting credits for works performed by Chris Brown and the Pussycat Dolls. βHaving never done my craft at that level, time on the road unlocked something within me,β she explains. βIt was a pivotal period for me to transition from a singer to an artist.β
Her yet-to-be-titled forthcoming debut album speaks to that inner voice that always seems to sway your judgment when you think youβre in love. βPassion, sincerity, artistic freedom and the boldness to be honest, are all the driving forces and the very life's blood of my music and my life,β she muses. On the album, she fearlessly touches on every thought and decision that love dictates while rationalizing the bad and intensifying the good. Love is a tricky thing and Treasure isnβt afraid to lyrically navigate the emotions young women feel but might not always be able to express to their significant other.
Reminiscent of a modern day Lucille Ball or Audrey Hepburn, with her fun and quirky personality coupled with those raspy, seductive vocals, Treasure Davis wonβt be hidden for too much longer. Look out for ByStorm/RCAβs next breakout star and expect Treasureβs debut album later on this year.

Simple
Treasure Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you gon' get outta this one?
No nigga, no baby
Shoes ain't gon' do it this time
No nigga, nah baby
You can pay the rent by yourself this month
Cause I'm mad at ya
But I never can ever stay mad at ya
And you poke it so good, no blubber just fold
Boy screamin' your name it never get old, no
And I really do try but I just can't stop it
Wake up in the morning fixin' your omelet
Make myself sick, I just wanna vomit
Why the fuck am I so goddamn simple?
Everything you do makes me resentful
I say I'm done for good but that depends doe
Cause I always end up wanting to kiss ya
Wit yo bad ass lookin', bomb ass cookin'
Why would I ever wanna leave that pussy?
Don't be so pushy
I ain't no rookie to the game you playin'
Please believe what I'm sayin'
This could be so little
With all the different shit we been through
Back then everything was simple
Bitches say it's the issue now
Whoa nigga, whoa baby
Why you just now gettin' home now?
Whoa nigga, whoa baby
All of a sudden got a code on your phone now
Whoa nigga, nah baby
How you think we just supposed to get along now?
Cause I'm mad at ya
But I never can ever stay mad at ya
You be pullin' up late, bu-buzz in your pocket
Think it's all good and I'ma just drop it
That ain't my shade I left on your collar
And I really do try but I just can't stop it
Wake up in the morning fixin' your omelet
Make myself sick, I wanna just vomit
Why the fuck am I so goddamn simple?
Everything you do makes me resentful
I say I'm done for good but that depends doe
Cause I always end up wanting to kiss ya
But in the end it ain't beneficial
You only concerned with what benefits ya
All I end up with is wet eyes and tissues
Expecting more than what you intended
So nigga
Go and let me hear all them new excuses
So nigga
It's really time to cut all the cute shit
So nigga
You better get it right 'fore you lose it
Why the fuck am I so goddamn simple?
Everything you do makes me resentful
I say I'm done for good but that depends doe
Cause I always end up wanting to kiss ya
Why the fuck am I so goddamn simple?
Everything you do makes me resentful
I say I'm done for good but that depends doe
Cause I always end up wanting to kiss ya
Yeah I always end up wanting to kiss you

No nigga, no baby
I don't want to deal with you or your bullshit
How you gon' get outta this one?
I'm not going to put up with your lies anymore
Shoes ain't gon' do it this time
You can't buy your way back into my good graces this time
You can pay the rent by yourself this month
I'm done supporting you financially
Cause I'm mad at ya
I'm angry with you
But I never can ever stay mad at ya
Even when I'm angry, I still love you
When you give me that look removing my clothes
Your charm and physical touch make me forget my anger
And you poke it so good, no blubber just fold
You are great in bed and make me feel amazing
Boy screamin' your name it never get old, no
I love being intimate with you and it never gets old
And I really do try but I just can't stop it
I try to resist your charms, but I can't
Wake up in the morning fixin' your omelet
I still go out of my way to make you breakfast
Make myself sick, I just wanna vomit
I feel sick when I think about how much you hurt me, but I still love you
Why the fuck am I so goddamn simple?
I hate how easy it is for you to manipulate me
Everything you do makes me resentful
Your actions make me resent you
I say I'm done for good but that depends doe
I pretend to be done with you, but I always come back
Cause I always end up wanting to kiss ya
I can't help but want to be intimate with you
Wit yo bad ass lookin', bomb ass cookin'
Your good looks and cooking skills keep me coming back
Why would I ever wanna leave that pussy?
I'm addicted to your sexual prowess
Don't be so pushy
Stop trying to control me
I ain't no rookie to the game you playin'
I'm not naive and know what you're up to
Please believe what I'm sayin'
Listen to me and understand where I'm coming from
This could be so little
Our problems could be resolved easily
With all the different shit we been through
Despite everything we've been through, our issues could still be fixed
Back then everything was simple
Our relationship used to be straightforward and uncomplicated
Bitches say it's the issue now
Other women are now complicating our relationship
All of a sudden got a code on your phone now
You're suddenly being secretive with your phone
How you think we just supposed to get along now?
How are we supposed to make this work when you're up to no good?
You be pullin' up late, bu-buzz in your pocket
You make me suspicious by arriving home late with your phone buzzing
Think it's all good and I'ma just drop it
You think I'll just forgive you, but I won't
That ain't my shade I left on your collar
I know you've been with someone else
You only concerned with what benefits ya
You're selfish and only care about yourself
All I end up with is wet eyes and tissues
All you bring me is pain and tears
Expecting more than what you intended
I want more from this relationship than you're willing to give
Go and let me hear all them new excuses
I'm tired of your lies and excuses, just tell me the truth
It's really time to cut all the cute shit
It's time to stop pretending everything's okay
You better get it right 'fore you lose it
You need to fix things before I leave you
Yeah I always end up wanting to kiss you
Despite everything, I still love you and want to be close to you
