The Politics of Black Style: Gender, Resistance, Black Dandyism & why the Met gala was kinda slavey

I wrote this song about enjoying the moment. Being with somebody that you love and you looking in their eyes and they're looking in your eyes and it just seems like everything is right.  They look good, you look good. You have the right outfit on, the music is right, and the atmosphere is right. You're just standing there in the right light and just enjoying the moment.

Verse I
Strobe light, Laser beams
Spotlight, Brown-eyed gleams
Incandescent smile
Like seeing fireflies in the dark
Im feeling feeling so good inside
Every little thing just feels so right
So right

Mini bridge
A Picture perfect me 
A Picture perfect you
A picture perfect love that lives in me
Because you came into my light

Chorus
Its like having on the right dress
Standing in the right light
Perfect music in the background
Staring in your eyes
Ordering the right cocktail
Still Pretty When youre Tipsy
I feel Safe when your next to me
You make me feel high x2
Hand on my chest 
Staring at your face 
Looking deep in your eyes
All on a good night 
Oh Ooo Standing in the Right light

Verse II
Candle Moonlight Glow
Day light Night Time You never know
When you show me your love
It can be twilight or high noon tea
Feeling so good inside’
Every Little thing with you feels so right 
so right

Repeat Mini Bridge

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 
Hold me close X3 
Stand in the Right Light 
Hold me close (Stand in the Right light)
Don’t let me go(Stand in the Right light)
ill stand in the light with you (Stand in the Right light)

Vamp 
Twirling  In the Right Light
Staring in the right  eyes
Dancing in the right outfit
Feeling So Good Inside

Element Medley

I wanted to take a crack at writing a gospel song and this is what I came up with. 
An uplifting anthem that reminds us that when we stay in firm in the unwavering power of the Lord, it is a declaration of faith finding confidence, not just in ourselves, but in the safety and strength of his presence, let the song be a reminder that with him you can face any storm.

Verse I
Walk by faith and not by sight 
Knowing everything gonna be alright
Be alright
Not worried about the enemy
No weapon formed against me shall see prosperity 
Lord I put it all in your hands
Lord I give it all to you

Chorus
Just to Be 
Standing in the Power X3
Just To Be
Standing in the Power X3
Just To Be

Verse II
The name of the Lord is a strong tower
That the righteous run to.
So don’t you worry
Don’t you ever X 3 dismay 
He will Protect you and be your refuge
Just Trust Him
Owe it all to you
Lord I give it all to you

Chorus

Be Strong in the Lord
In the Power of His Might X2

Chorus Repeat and Adlibs 


Standing In The Power

It's about seeing the beauty &  joy in yourself regardless of how other people see you and not letting them get to you. This is the song that I wrote some years back after a week of being harassed online.
