Cheering
Yeah. I have to tell you... I've watched many episodes of "Austin City Limits," and to be on this stage, man, legendary stage, to share it tonight with you guys means the world to me, so I want to say thank you so much to the whole crew, the directors, the producers for "Austin City Limits," and of course, you guys for being here and taking time out of your Sunday. I appreciate it. Time is our most valuable asset, no? So, uh... for those of you that don't know anything about me, I figure I'll introduce myself. My name is Miguel. I'm named after my father, Miguel Jontel Pimentel.
Cheering
He was born in Zamora, Michoacn, Mexico. I don't know if you guys know where that is.
Cheering
And my mother is a beautiful black woman from Inglewood, California.
Cheers and applause
And when my father moved here to the States at the age of 3, after my grandmother had been here for about 3 years, she had enough money to send back to her family -- my grandfather and the rest of my uncles and aunts -- to bring them back up to the States, and Inglewood is where they ended up kind of making a home for themselves, and that's where my father met my mother, in Inglewood High. So, um... going back to Mexico and thinking about all of the sacrifices my family has made and the journey it took to get me to this stage, it always reminds me to be thankful and to be grateful for everything that we have, you know.
Applause

Cheers and applause
So I'd very much like to sing a song called "Now" that I wrote for the last album, the newest album, called "War & Leisure." You know, I can't think of a better time or more fitting place than to sing this song than here, in Texas... in 2018. When it seems like a lot of our bad habits, a lot of our fears facing us right in the face, you know, and we're staring down the barrel of the future. And now is the time to pull the trigger, if you will, in a positive direction, overcoming fear.
Cheers and applause
But, like, I would say that my -- my biggest moments of growth have come out of frustration, you know. When I started as an artist, when I was around 14 years old, and I would go to the studio and wait for an engineer to get there or wait for a producer to get there. At some point, I finally got tired of waiting. And I decided to just make music myself. I decided to learn to produce myself. I decided to learn how to run, you know, my sessions myself, to record myself, to do things myself.
Cheers
And I suppose now is the time where we have to stop looking for other people or looking at other people for the answers. And every day, taking a moment to do something ourselves to move things in a positive direction, man.
Cheers and applause
And... And that's why I wrote this song called "Now." No better or more appropriate title, I suppose. It goes like this. Well, yeah, yeah CEO of the free world now Build your walls up high and wide Make it rain to keep them out That won't change what we are inside Pick the fruit of your labor Cultivate, plant your seeds now And watch them grow Man, I'll holla at you later Let you find out what we're made of I'm just saying Is that the look of freedom now? Is that the sound of freedom now? 'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity By the way he treats those he does not need And it's time we talk about it Let's not waste our common ground We will fall for standing and watching All in silence Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now? No, not later, da da, no, not later Oh, right now, oh, right now Now, not later, no, not later, da da No, not later This can't wait now CEO of the free world now Should we teach our children hatred? Chase the inner cities, shoot them down It's like we're still running races I'm just saying Is that the look of freedom now? Is that the sound of freedom now? 'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity By the way he treats those he does not need And it's time we talk about it Let's not waste our common ground We will fall for standing and watching All this silence Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now? No, not later, da da, no, not later Oh, right now Oh, right now, not later No, not later, da da, no, not later This can't wait now Now, now, now Now, now, now Now or never, we can work together Now, now, now Now, now, now We only suffer what we allow Now, now, now For all the people In Puerto Rico Right here in Houston In Michigan And standing right here Way down in New Orleans For all of the DREAMers The black lives that we've lost right now

Cheers and applause
Thank you. I've been staring at the edge of the water Long as I can remember Never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water No matter how hard I try Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every road leads back To the place I know where I can not go Where I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - Oh oh oh oh oh - Yeah I know that everybody on this island Seems so happy on this island Everything is by design I know that everybody on this island Has a role on this island So maybe I can roll with mine I can lead with pride, I can make us strong I'll be satisfied if I play along But the voice inside sings a different song What is wrong with me? See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding And no one knows how deep it goes And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me And let me know What's beyond that line? Will I cross that line? See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know how far I'll go Oh oh Oh, no
Cheers and applause
Yeah Thank you.
Cheers and applause
Right, this is always the scary part of my shows, where I'm solo, 'cause I feel very naked, even though I'm wearing 10 layers of clothing. It feels scary. This is like my third or fourth time playing this song live ever. I just wrote it -- or I just put it out on my birthday, July 11. Yeah!
Cheering
And, yeah, it's a personal one. I may or may not cry. It's always a gamble. But if you guys know it, you know what to do. Sing along, help me out. Sorry if I mess it up. Here we go. This is called "A Little More." If only I remembered how to play it.
Chuckles
There we go.
Laughs
There you are with your college friends You played in the marching band I can't help but wish I knew you then But I guess I know you now It looks as if I've stumbled Right into the palm of your hand Hey, you Hey, mister, knock on my door I'm sorry that I've been emotions galore Am I crazy for wanting a little bit more? A little more of you A little more, a little more of you This feeling's hard to ignore Please say you'll never get bored Can you blame me for wanting a little bit more? A little more of you A little more, a little more of you Say that it's the same Take a drill right to my brain Oh, the way you did just yesterday I guess I get it now It looks as if I've stumbled Right into the palm of your hand Hey, you Hey, mister, knock on my door I'm sorry that I've been emotions galore Am I crazy for wanting a little bit more? A little more of you Little more, a little more of you This feeling's hard to ignore Please say you'll never get bored Can you blame me for wanting a little bit more? A little more of you A little more, a little more of you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh oh oh ah ah ah ah ah Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Here" plays
This one is the first song I ever released. It changed my life, so sing along. I'm sorry if I seem uninterested Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent Truly, I ain't got no business here But since my friends are here I just came to kick it, but really I would rather be at home all by myself Not in this room with people who don't even Care about my well-being I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend So you can go back, please enjoy your party I'll be here Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana With this boy who's hollering I can hardly hear Over this music I don't listen to And I don't want to get with you So tell my friends that I'll be over here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here? Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here And I can't wait till we can break up out Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this An antisocial pessimist But usually I don't mess with this And I know that you mean only the best And your intentions aren't to bother me But, honestly, I'd rather be Somewhere with my people, we can kick it and just listen To some music with the message - Like we usually do - And we'll discuss our big dreams How we plan to take over the planet So pardon my manners I hope you'll understand that I'll be here Not there in the kitchen with some girl Who's always gossiping about her friends So tell them I'll be here Right next to the boy who's throwing up 'Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more Oh, God, why am I here? Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here? Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, here And I can't wait till we can break up out Hours later, congregating next to the refrigerator Some girl talking 'bout her haters - She ain't got none - How did it ever come to this I should have never come to this So holler at me, I'll be in... - The car when you're done -Can I sing you guys a new verse, or a semi-new verse?
Cheering
Three years later, still the same Ain't nothing changed, this so-called fame Is draining lately, I've been shaking Hands with faces I won't remember Won't remember me, it's a catastrophe False reality TV with no screen Headlines about my jeans So this industry must not be meant for me And I'm done talking Awfully sad it had to be that way So tell my people, when they're ready, that I'm ready And I'm standing here in Austin with my beanie low Yo, I'll be over here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here? Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, here And I can't wait till we can break up out here Yeah, if you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah If you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, if you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah Yeah - Oh oh - Yeah - Oh oh - Yeah Oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here? Oh, oh, oh, here Oh, oh, oh, here
Cheers and applause
All right, this next one that I want to play you guys -- or that we want to play you guys is a really important song to me. Of course, all my song are, but this one in particular, through singing it and through releasing it, it's really shown me how many people, you know, really feel insecure about themselves. You know, I've traveled the world with this song, and I've had so many people come up to me, tell me their stories, and you just really realize through that that so many people need the message of loving yourself and celebrating yourself, you know. Because we go -- Yeah. There are so many messages and so many things that we see on TV, on billboards, things like that that just make us feel really, really bad about ourselves every single day. And sometimes we don't even notice, but then we go to look at ourselves in the mirror, and we hate everything about ourselves sometimes, and that's so frustrating because it shouldn't be about that. And that's what this song is about. That's why I made this song. And I want to tell anybody here today or tonight, if you're feeling that way, if you feel like you're not good enough, if you feel like you need to look or act like somebody else, I'm here to tell you -- I hope that my word means something to you or it holds any weight at all. But I'm here to tell you that you don't need to ever think of it that way, and you are worth way more than how you look or what size you are or what color you are.
Cheering
Or anything like that. Because when we're gone, no one's going to care about what our style was or how cool our shoes were. You know, like, people are going to care about how we made them feel, and that's the most important thing. So always remember that. And if anyone tells you otherwise, you can tell them to change their heart, and that's what this song is about. So if you know it, please, please, please sing along with us. It would mean a lot. This is called "Scars to Your Beautiful."
Cheering
She just wants to be beautiful She goes unnoticed She knows no limits She craves attention She praises an image She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor Oh, she don't see the light that's shining Deeper than the eyes can find it Maybe we have made her blind So she tries to cover up her pain And cut her woes away 'Cause cover girls don't cry After their face is made But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark You should know you're beautiful just the way you are And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful Now she has dreams to be an envy So she's starving You know, cover girls eat nothing She says, "Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything What's a little bit of hunger? I could go a little while longer" She fades away She don't see her perfect She don't understand she's worth it Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface Oh, oh, oh, oh So, to everyone who's hurting Let me be your mirror Help you see a little bit clearer The light that shines within There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark You should know you're beautiful just the way you are And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful Sing! - Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful Repeat after me. No better you than the you that you are - No better you than the you that you are - No better life than the life we're living - No better life than the life we're living - No better time for your shine, you're a star - No better time for your shine, you're a star - Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark You should know you're beautiful just the way you are And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Come on! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh And you don't have to change a thing The world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful We're stars and we're beautiful

This one's called "Growing Pains. -You're on your own, kid. -Y ou are. - Make my way through the motions I try to ignore it But home's looking farther the closer I get Don't know why I can't see the end Is it over yet? Mm A short leash and a short fuse don't match They tell me it ain't that bad Now don't you overreact So I just hold my breath, don't know why I can't see the sun when young should be fun Fun And I guess the bad can get better Got to be wrong before it's right Every happy phrase engraved in my mind And I've always been a go-getter There's truth in every word I write But still the growing pains, growing pains They're keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - And I can't hide 'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - And I can't hide 'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night I try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made Don't know if I even care for "grown" If it's just alone Yeah And I guess the bad can get better Got to be wrong before it's right Every happy phrase engraved in my mind I've always been a go-getter There's truth in every word I write But still the growing pains, growing pains They're keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - And I can't hide 'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - And I can't hide 'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all Can't take her own advice Can't find pieces of my peace of mind, I cry More than I want to admit, but I can't lie To myself, to anyone 'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun Can't run back to my youth the way I want to The days my brother was quicker to fool AM radio, not much to do Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face No Band-Aids for the growing pains - Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah - Hey, hey, yeah, yeah Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah - No, no Band-Aids for the growing pains
