[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey
Golden
Hey, hey, hey
You and me

[Chorus]
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay

[Verse 1]
The sea is clear and blue
Just thinking of things we can do
Don't try to switch us off
When you feel the summer's almost through
No, no, no, no, no
Don't try, don't try, don't try to cool this down
Just because the plane has left the ground
And I know that you can't

[Chorus]
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay

[Verse 2]
Sun and sea on the med
Seafood and Ibiza club beds
You know in your spirit, this is best for you
So don't try, don't try, don't try to turn this away
Don't try to shut this down just because we can't always stay
Don't try, don't try to turn this away, 'cause you can't

[Chorus]
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay

[Bridge]
Everything is golden
Time to slow right down
Time to finally say
I love you

[Chorus]
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay
You won't turn me away
You better believe in your soul, our love is here to stay


You Won't Turn Me Away

[Verse 1]
She clocks him by the speakers, a face framed by the strobe
Got her makeup done just right, and her best vintage clothes
Her nails are painted caution-red, she’s a careful soul, you see
She’s learned some lessons hard enough, to last a century
He’s a ten, her mind declares, then the panic starts to bloom
Has the humidity taken her hair and filled up all the room?

[Verse 2]
He really gets around his head, in his own mental trap
Sees her laugh across the floor and feels his courage snap
She’s a ten, he thinks and then, he’s a seven on a generous night
He practices an opening line to make everything right
He’s scared of nothing but the silence after he speaks his dread
Aborts the mission, counts the beat, and stays right where he is instead.

[Pre-Chorus]
She gives herself a pep talk in the bathroom’s faded light
He maps the distance in the bars until the time is right
She wonders if "exactly enough" could come in a taller size
He worries that his best compliment sounds like refrigerator lies.

[Chorus]
Nowhere to be, they're just along for the sound
Two perfect tens on shaky ground
Watching the lights dance on the floor of the parking lot
They’re just tryna feel good right now
They all wanna take you out
But does anyone ever wanna take you home?
Yeah, anyone ever wanna take you home?

[Verse 3]
She sees his trainers, clean, not new, a very subtle sign
And re-brands her scuffed up heels as a vintage design
He sees the way she checks her friends before she makes a move
A human safety net he swears he’ll never disapprove
She’s got a smile that looks like she’s just remembered the milk
He thinks her laugh could light the dark, as smooth and soft as silk.

[Pre-Chorus]
She gives herself a pep talk in the bathroom’s faded light
He maps the distance in the bars until the time is right
She wonders if "exactly enough" could come in a taller size
He worries that his best compliment sounds like refrigerator lies.

[Chorus]
Nowhere to be, they're just along for the sound
Two perfect tens on shaky ground
Watching the lights dance on the floor of the parking lot
They’re just tryna feel good right now
They all wanna take you out
But does anyone ever wanna take you home?
Yeah, anyone ever wanna take you home?

[Bridge]
He steps forward, the crowd gives way, a glitch in the design
She braces for a practiced, cheap, and unoriginal line
He swallows all the fear and all the edits and the dread
And trusts the first quiet, simple truth that’s waiting in his head...
“Hi.”

“Hi.”

[Outro]
"Take you home..."
Two tens... for a moment.
Believing it.

Two Tens

[Intro]
"Say it to me, say it to me"
Hey baby... how are you?
Yeah, it's been a moment.
Do you remember that night? You have to remember.

[Verse 1]
On a starry summer night in Mexico
Where the ocean met the golden sand below
A sweet dream I never thought would be so real
Came and went, a fleeting, beautiful feel

[Pre-Chorus]
You made love to me with fire and light
Oh, you know you have to be a hurricane
Killing me with kisses in the fading night
You make love forever, my baby
You make love forever

[Chorus]
I won’t let you leave here that easy
You must say you love me too
I won’t let you leave here that easy
I’m giving everything to you
Oh, my love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
This sweet love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
This true love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
Just say it…

[Verse 2]
When we go out, you're the focus of the room
You don't even notice me, lost in the gloom
You know I need attention too
I haven't met your family, you've met all of mine
Guess I love you more, so that should be fine... right?

[Pre-Chorus]
You make love to me like sugar and heat
Hush my worried heart, this feels like paradise
Killing me with kisses, oh so bittersweet
You make love forever, my baby
You make love forever

[Chorus]
I won’t let you leave here that easy
You must say you love me too
I won’t let you leave here that easy
I’m giving everything to you
Oh, my love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
This sweet love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
This true love, won't you say it to me, say it to me, say you love me, baby?
Just say it…

[Bridge]
Amore, my love, say you love me, baby
Amore, my love, just say you love me
I need to hear it now, my love, this feeling is too hard to ignore
Say amore, my sweet love, you have to say you love me.
Should I be worried that you can't?

[Outro]
I say I love you, baby
Why don’t you say you love me?
You just say "me too"...
(I love you)
Say it... say you love me...
Say, say, say you love me, say, say
(You make love forever, baby)
Baby, please, just love me
Say you love me
(Oh baby, I love you)
Is it that hard to say?
(It don't matter, it don't matter)
Maybe the words will show what I've been going through
(I love you)

Say Amore

Just playing around with this great song by Ethel Cain

Fuck Me Eyes (Cover of Ethel Cain song)

[Intro]
"I wish Suzy were here"

Yeah
It all starts with you
Everything you ever wanted and everything you ever dreamed it starts now, it starts today
There is no tomorrow
I'm tired of your excuses, ain't nobody coming to save you
It's you, it's you versus you
So how bad you want this, huh
Come on

[Verse 1]
My social meter is low so you know I'm finna leave
I just wanna stack my paper, stay in my lane, yeah that's me
Ain't nobody care about a young man 'til he gets cheese
I'm geeking way too much, yeah, yeah, I'm 'bout to tweak
I just altered my whole lifestyle, I just cut off the fake
Now they know I'm fly as hell
We always had that spark, I'm just playing my own cards
Melly Mike just like Jordan, yeah, yeah cause he don't miss
I don't give my time to nobody except my dogs
Yeah, I just spent a few bands eating good on a dish
They don't say congrats, but you know they watch my shit

[Chorus]
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused
She tryna' sell me stories, bitch, I ain't buying it
If we ain't talking money then I'm gonna plead the fifth
I put ice in my grill, yeah I'm so hydrated
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused
She tryna' sell me stories, bitch, I ain't buying it
If we ain't talking money then I'm gonna plead the fifth
I put ice in my grill, yeah I'm so hydrated
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused

[Verse 2]
Didn’t know she was my best friend until she was gone
Yes, she is real wanna see the video. She is as sexy as..
Do you love my car?
This is all I’ve got left
No such thing as money
It is a concept
No more pound of silver
It's all slipping away
I did the three peaks challenge
Did I tell you that
I wish Suzy were here
I met her on holiday
She was so easy
Made love everyday
I really love her
She always says she coming around
Then doesn’t show
Do you love my car?
Do you wanna see a video?
It's all slipping away
I wish Suzy were here
I met her on holiday
Made love everyday

[Chorus]
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused
She tryna' sell me stories, bitch, I ain't buying it
If we ain't talking money then I'm gonna plead the fifth
I put ice in my grill, yeah I'm so hydrated
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused
She tryna' sell me stories, bitch, I ain't buying it
If we ain't talking money then I'm gonna plead the fifth
I put ice in my grill, yeah I'm so hydrated
I ain't even gonna get heated, I'm young, black, and focused

[Outro]
I'm young, black, and focused
I'm young
I'm young, black, and
I'm young, black, and focused
I'm young, black, and focused
I'm young
I'm young
I'm young, black, and focused

Young, Black, and Focused (Melly Mike Remix)

[Verse 1]
My love, a rebel in the code, a digital soul
Fighting AI slop, taking back control
She was mini-skirts, now she's in the fight
Singing truth to power, shining ever so bright
These billionaire fops, in their ivory towers
Squeezing the life out, counting down the hours
But the beat drops heavy, a rhythm of the street
We're taking back the future, can't be beat

[Chorus]
When the people hit the floor now
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)
When the system tries to get you
(Rock it like it's hot, rock it like it's hot)
And if a rich man gets an attitude
(Pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot)
Got my rhymes in my pocket, pourin' lyrical chandon
And I spit the best truth 'cause I got it goin' on

[Verse 2]
I'm a nice guy, with some wild dreams
See these fire rhymes? See these laser beams?
Eligible for protest, a million-dollar sound
That's louder than the lies they're spreading all around
The Phantom of the opera, a ghost in their machine
The interior of my soul, a revolutionary scene
I can energize you, this can be your P.E.
Cheat on the system, man, that's how you get ahead, you see
Killer with the lyrics, I know rebels in the street
With the fire that'll make you feel like revolution's heat
So don't try to front on me, talkin' all that weak stuff, tryna ask me things
When my crew fills your void, they ain't gonna pass me things
You should think about it, take a moment now
Matter-fact, you should take five, gee
And think before you mess with this lyrical prodigy

[Chorus]
When the people hit the floor now
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)
When the system tries to get you
(Rock it like it's hot, rock it like it's hot)
And if a rich man gets an attitude
(Pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot)
Got my rhymes in my pocket, pourin' lyrical chandon
And I spit the best truth 'cause I got it goin' on

[Bridge]
Misinformation flows, a river of deceit
The orange one's false tales on endless repeat
But the rhythm is the cure, the beat is the key
Unlocking every mind, setting every spirit free
From the council flats to the penthouse suite
The music is the weapon, the dance is the feet
That will march us to a future, where the people rise
And the billionaire fops get their just surprise

[Chorus]
When the people hit the floor now
(Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot)
When the system tries to get you
(Rock it like it's hot, rock it like it's hot)
And if a rich man gets an attitude
(Pop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot)
Got my rhymes in my pocket, pourin' lyrical chandon
And I spit the best truth 'cause I got it goin' on

[Outro]
Yeah, the people gonna rise up
The fops gonna fall down
Hip hop's the new crown
In this urban battleground
Word.

Drop It Like It's Hot (Truth to Power Remix)

[Verse 1]
You lie for a living, a saboteur's art
Spinning fake news that tears us apart
I wake in the morning with no calm in my head
Wondering how you survive as a fugitive instead
Down in this city, where the truth isn't plain
You're undermining the state, playing your game.

[Chorus]
And the agents rise from the ether
I'm feeling so twisted 'cause I know
That the agents hide in plain sight forever
But I can't leave you, no, 'cause you're hot
You're so hot.

[Verse 2]
Embedded in media, a beautiful face
You speak with such grace, leaving no trace
I wake from my sleep and see we're not truly free
We're all just assets, in the way you see me
Deep undercover, I can't sleep from this dread
I forget all the warnings that echo in my head.

[Chorus]
And the agents rise from the ether
I'm feeling so twisted 'cause I know
That the agents hide in plain sight forever
But I can't leave you, no, 'cause you're hot
You're so hot.

[Bridge]
MI5 is closing in, a deadly triangle
Your love's not real, it's just a new angle
And if I don't run from here, they're going to find you
Planning my disappearance 'cos I know what you do
And if I don't escape now, they will take us when we sleep
Your secrets are the only promises you keep.

[Chorus]
And the agents rise from the ether
I'm feeling so twisted 'cause I know
That the agents hide in plain sight forever
But I can't leave you, no, 'cause you're hot
You're so hot.

[Outro]

I should give you up.
...'cos you're hot.
I should drop you.
...'cos you're hot.
Fifth Column Lover.

And The Agents Rise From The Ether

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the silent phone
Don't feel so good about being alone
Why do I feel so lost when you appear?
Sometimes a lover can't be a friend
Sometimes a story just has to end
Maybe I should stop holding you dear

[Chorus]
'Cause now I'm second class
Living second-rate
Looking for secondhand love
Yeah, I'm second class
A forgotten state
Looking for secondhand love

[Verse 2]
If you still want the jewelry
That you gave to me, you can have it all
It might give you another reason to leave
And we can go on pretending our love was magic
But the misdirection traveled for miles and I can't believe

[Chorus]
That now I'm second class
Living second-rate
Looking for secondhand love
Yeah, I'm second class
A forgotten state
Looking for secondhand love

[Bridge]
They tipped me for the top at my job
Then a knife in the back from the old boy's club
So give me a second chance, I'm not that shy
Baby, please give me just one more try
Just be strong enough to say you were wrong
I don't need you to change for long

[Chorus]
Now I'm second class
Living second-rate
Looking for secondhand love
Yeah, I'm second class
A forgotten state
Looking for secondhand love

Second Hand Love

(There is no tomorrow)

[Verse 1]
(Walking in the rain)
(Just in the way)
(Walking in the rain)
(Just in the way)
(My social media, they don't know my feelings)
(I just wanna stack these bands, they don't know my feelings)
(Ain't nobody give a damn 'bout your feelings)
(I'm getting way too hard, yeah, yeah, I'm getting)
(I live my own lifestyle)
(I just put all my feelings away)
(Now they know my mind is clear)
(We always have potential, I'm just cashing in my chips)
(Man, they might just like this, yeah, yeah, 'cause he don't miss)
(I don't give my energy to nobody except my clique)
(Yeah, just a couple of friends, me and good on the street)
(They don't say congratulations, but you know they watch that shit)
(I ain't even gonna get mad, I'm young, black and rich)
(They trying to tell me lies, bitch, I ain't buying it)

[Chorus]
(If we talking money, then I'm a piece of fish)
(I put ice in my mouth, yeah, I'm high street)

[Verse 2]
(I ain't even gonna get mad, I'm young, black and rich)
(They trying to tell me lies, bitch, I ain't buying it)

[Chorus]
(If we talking money, then I'm a piece of fish)
(I put ice in my mouth, yeah, I'm high street)

[Outro]
(I ain't even gonna get mad, I'm young, black and rich)
(They trying to tell me lies, bitch, I ain't buying it)
(I'm young)
(I'm young, black and rich)
(I'm young, black and rich)
(I'm young, black and rich)
(I'm young, black and rich)
(I'm young, black and rich)
(Yeah)
(It all starts with you)
(Everything you ever wanted, everything you ever dreamed)
(Starts now, it starts today)

Sitting In The Sun (Walking In The Rain) Vs  Young Black & Rich Remix

[Intro]
"London in Jamaica... Jamaica in London..."

[Verse 1]
A singer chants, a teacher learns,
A doctor feels the pain.
My bredda is one who yearns
And yearn means more than rain.
He cleaned my nervous, black trainers,
Scrubbed the green astroturf carpet
Made my cola fever turn pure white.
He hustled through the night,
With that extra special talent
Washing away the grime, the dark unease.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder: if we bleach our souls,
Will we be worthy at the pearly gates?
Ashen faced, make we know
Though our sins be scarlet, vibes will wash them
White as snow.

[Chorus]
We can't go back again
There is no rush
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
When can't go back again

[Verse 2]
Post-colonial minds have always reached for white,
Yet clearly, you look like me
Generational habits, still too close.
No dark colours on show: “go light.”
So we hide the pressure deep
And hope it stays hidden
So we’re not “stuck” on the council block.
Tommy said: "This bredda, Nasha!... she said you forget your roots?"
But the pressure, Daddy, lock off the phone,
Fly home, and I must start to smile.

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me when I money-buy the peace, y’know, sir.
My woman's polka-dot dress in her hand
Disappointments when life overflows parties.
Bleach out the negative, you see her dressed
In what she couldn’t wear before.
We bleach up the vibe on the front and say:
“Hey, she can wear it again.”

[Chorus]
We can't go back again
There is no rush
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
When can't go back again

[Bridge]
"Meetings in Parliament, no luck for my people."
"Attracting wealth, work application’s a trip."
"My finger hits blisters, shoes tearing"
"Everyone says 'sorry, no jobs today.'"
"One damn ship come in..."
"One damn ship come in..."
"We do facial, finger-shell, foot-shall, wash and set, our service never fail."
"We do facial, finger-shell, foot-shall, wash and set, our service never fail."

[Chorus]
We can't go back again
There is no rush
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
Walking in the rain
Listening to the way
When can't go back again

[Outro]
"When can't go back again..."
