"Velvet Rope" 

(Lyrics)

(Intro)

(Verse 1) 

The air in here... is thick.

Curated smoke... and candlestick.

The velvet rope... drops... just for you.

A red carpet... for the chosen few.

I watched you... navigate the room.

A masterpiece... of impending doom.

You didn't... glance... at the exit sign.

You knew... tonight... that you were mine.

It's choreographed.

It's written in the gin.

So... pour a drink... and let the scene begin.

(Pre-Chorus 1) 

The script is binding.

The stairs are winding.

There is no... turning back.

We're fading... into black.

(Chorus 1) 

Step behind... the velvet rope.

Abandon... fear. Abandon... hope.

This is the VIP... of misery.

And you are the guest... of honor.

(Ooh... the guest of honor...)

(Ooh... abandon hope...)

(Verse 2) 

You think you're the hunter... in this play?

That's cute... in a tragic sort of way.

I let you... catch my eye.

Like a spider... waving at the fly.

This lounge... is my web.

I control the flow... I control the ebb.

You're not... holding the key.

You're just... locked in here... with me.

The martini is dry.

The stakes are high.

Go ahead, darling... tell me another lie.

(Pre-Chorus 2) 

The lock is turning.

The film is burning.

There is no... turning back.

We're fading... into black.

(Chorus 2) 

Step behind... the velvet rope.

Abandon... fear. Abandon... hope.

This is the VIP... of misery.

And you are the guest... of honor.

(Ooh... the guest of honor...)

(Ooh... abandon hope...)

(Bridge) Are you... scared?

...Are you?

I'm... terrified.

...Good.

It's... intoxicating.

...It's fatal.

Closer?

...Too late to stop.

(Final Chorus / Outro) 

BEHIND THE ROPE!

(NO HOPE! NO HOPE!)

THE VIP OF MISERY!

(YOU'RE THE GUEST! YOU'RE THE GUEST!)

WELCOME TO THE SHOW!

(NEVER LET YOU GO!)

[Strange Fame] is not another angry protest song. There is space for that for sure, but this one isn’t just that. It’s a call to action. For me, it’s not just political; it’s personal,” adding, “the music video represents my firm belief that my ancestors walk with me. I believe that what we do right now helps all of the children later — not just the ones of color. It’s everyone’s job to undo what is being done.”

Strange Fame

“Earn Yo Sleep” is the motto Grammy & Emmy Award winning singer-songwriter, Cocoa Sarai lives by. Raised in a musical family, Cocoa has worked with Grammy Award-winning artists and producers such as Dr. Dre, Anderson .Paak, Busta Rhymes and many more. Lending her song-writing skills to television’s Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Cocoa has been performing since the age of two. Citing Mary J Blige, Tina Turner and Lauryn Hill as her biggest influences, inspired by her West Indian heritage, her church roots & her love for hip-hop, this Brooklyn, NY-bred, Jamaican-American songstress with three independent albums under her belt is establishing herself as a creative force to take note of. 

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2018, Cocoa began working with producer and mogul Dr. Dre’s legendary Aftermath Records, which resulted in her meeting superstar Anderson .Paak. Building off of their creative chemistry, Sarai eventually contributed to eight of the 14 Songs found on the “Am I Wrong” artist’s 2018 album OXNARD & even dropped a rap verse on the Dr. Dre-featured “Mansa Musa” She also lended her vocals and pen to Paak’s latest album VENTURA, which is up for Album of the Year for the 62nd Annual Grammy’s Awards. 

“It was fun,” says the former contestant from hit show The Four, when discussing her experience working with the “Malibu” artist. “I got to be myself.” 
Currently splitting her time between songwriting and finishing her upcoming project.
