MILLION DOLLAR BABY

Darling

Darling (feat. Libianca)

[Intro]
(We belong together, you and I)

[Verse 1]
Should we be a community,
Chatting and acting with dignity?
Communication is the key,
Come on, baby, talk with me.

Let's walk through the city lights,
Laugh at our silly fights.
You're my calm in the storm,
In your arms, I feel warm.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this urban jungle, we're a pair,
With every whisper, you show you care.
Might not be perfect, might not be smooth,
But with you, I find my groove.

[Chorus]
I'll love you 'til the stars no longer shine,
'Til the rivers all run dry.
Together, we'll make our way,
In this community, we'll stay.

[Verse 2]
You know my quirks, my odd little ways,
How I hum tunes on rainy days.
We share secrets in the dark,
You're the flame, and I'm the spark.

Let's be a family, let's be kind,
In this crazy world, peace we'll find.
Listen close, hear my heart,
We've been together from the start.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this urban jungle, we're a pair,
With every whisper, you show you care.
Might not be perfect, might not be smooth,
But with you, I find my groove.

[Chorus]
I'll love you 'til the stars no longer shine,
'Til the rivers all run dry.
Together, we'll make our way,
In this community, we'll stay.

[Bridge]
Through the laughter and the tears,
Through the worries and the fears.
You're my anchor, my best friend,
With you, I know we'll never end.

[Chorus]
I'll love you 'til the stars no longer shine,
'Til the rivers all run dry.
Together, we'll make our way,
In this community, we'll stay.

[Outro]
So let's keep talking, keep the fire alive,
In this community, we thrive.
You're my home, my heart, my sky,
We'll stay together, you and I.

In June 1984, striking coal miners from across Britain descended on South Yorkshire’s Orgreave coking plant in an attempt to disrupt deliveries and were met with force by thousands of police officers.

What became known as the Battle of Orgreave was a pivotal moment in the year-long miners’ strike and one of the most violent episodes in British industrial history.

Forty years on, many of those involved say they still need answers about what happened and why.

[Verse 1]
I was twenty-one when I joined the strike,
A fight for our lives, for the future we like.
The mines were our hearts, our soul, our pride,
But they shut the doors and left us outside.

[Chorus]
We stood tall in Orgreave's light,
With hopes high, ready for the fight.
In the fields where justice died,
The Battle of Orgreave, where we cried.

[Verse 2]
From dawn's first light to the evening's fall,
We faced the lines, we heard the call.
With every push and every shove,
We fought for survival, for those we love.

[Chorus]
We stood tall in Orgreave's light,
With hopes high, ready for the fight.
In the fields where justice died,
The Battle of Orgreave, where we cried.

[Bridge]
They came with horses, shields in hand,
To break our spirits, to take our stand.
In the heat of June, on that fateful day,
The cries of battle, they won't fade away.

[Chorus]
We stood tall in Orgreave's light,
With hopes high, ready for the fight.
In the fields where justice died,
The Battle of Orgreave, where we cried.

[Verse 3]
The years have passed, but the scars remain,
A memory of struggle, of endless pain.
We sought the truth, we demanded why,
But the answers never came, they let us lie.

[Chorus]
We stood tall in Orgreave's light,
With hopes high, ready for the fight.
In the fields where justice died,
The Battle of Orgreave, where we cried.

[Outro]
We won't forget, we won't forgive,
The battle we fought, the lives we live.
In our hearts, the fire's still alive,
The spirit of Orgreave will always survive.

[Verse]
I'm looking for a girl, a good girl,
Not a million-dollar baby.
She needs to know what I like,
She'll be beautiful and bright.

Living large in North London,
I'm good, giving, and game.
One night stand is modern,
I'm looking for love, not fame.

[Chorus]
I ain't never rep a set, baby, I ain't do no wrong
I could clean up good for you, oh, I know right from wrong
'Cause I wanna make it (mm, mm, mm), so badly
I'm a million dollar baby (mm, mm, mm), don't at me (yeah)

Hell nah, you rep my city for so damn long,
But you still don't notice me, my sound next.
VA next, I'm at they neck,
I'm running up a check.

[Bridge]
She a bad lil' mama, she a diva,
No matter what happens, he cannot come between us again.
I know we're better than friends,
I took her to Queen's Gambit, showed around my friends.


[Chorus]
I ain't never rep a set, baby, I ain't do no wrong
I could clean up good for you, oh, I know right from wrong
'Cause I wanna make it (mm, mm, mm), so badly
I'm a million dollar baby (mm, mm, mm), don't at me (yeah)

Hell nah, hell-hell nah,
Hell-hell nah, yeah, yeah.
Hell-hell nah, do it, baby, do what I should think,
Do it, baby, do what I could think.


[Outro]
Do it, baby, do what I should think
Do it, baby, do what I could think
Do it, baby, do what I should think
Do it, baby, do what I could think

I'm looking for a girl, a good girl,
Not a million-dollar baby.
Living large in North London,
I'm looking for love, not fame.

[Verse]  
It was raining here today, but not for long  
Heading to Spain where the sun is strong  
Floating in the sea, surfing with sharks  
Running on the beach till it gets dark

Drinking sangria, dark rum in my cup  
Partying all night, never gonna stop  
Frolicking under the holiday sun  
Loving you, babe, it's time for fun

[Chorus]  
Holiday, holiday, surfing on the sea  
Loving you, loving me, it’s time to be free  
In your bikini, diving in the pool  
Kissing you all over, acting like a fool

[Pre-Chorus]  
*Do it, baby, do what I should think*  
*Do it-do it, baby, do what I could think*  
*Do it-do it-do it, baby, do what I should think*  
*Do it, baby, do what I could think*

[Verse 2]  
Underneath the stars, making memories  
Laughing, dancing, feeling the breeze  
You and me together, oh, what a sight  
Living our dream, under the moonlight

Your smile, your touch, drives me insane  
Holiday love, forever in Spain

[Chorus]  
Holiday, holiday, surfing on the sea  
Loving you, loving me, it’s time to be free  
In your bikini, diving in the pool  
Kissing you all over, acting like a fool

[Bridge]   
Loving every moment, never coming down

[Chorus]  
Holiday, holiday, surfing on the sea  
Loving you, loving me, it’s time to be free  
In your bikini, diving in the pool  
Kissing you all over, acting like a fool

[Outro]  
Holiday love, under the sun  
Forever and always, our hearts are one

[Intro]  
Mmm, yeah, yeah...


[Verse 1]  
You used to keep me in the moment  
From day to night to morning  
But now it's like you're gone, no punches left to roll with  
Why didn't you say so?


[Chorus]  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me broken  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me open  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so


[Verse 2]  
We used to dance all day around it  
Now you're just fronting, and I'm bouncing  
You used to love it, need it bad  
Now you're just playing, where's my man?


[Chorus]  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me broken  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me open  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so


[Rap Verse]  
Late nights, used to vibe, now it's silence in the ride  
You were my muse, my pride, now it's like a part has died  
Conversations, we let 'em slide, now I’m left here asking why  
You had the chance, but you let it fly, now it's just a hollow goodbye


You said you needed space, but never gave a trace  
Of all the thoughts you faced, now it’s like a race  
To find a place where we can realign, but now I see the signs  
Why didn’t you say so? Now I’m just a memory confined


[Bridge]  
Why didn’t you, why didn’t you, yeah  
Say so, say so...


[Chorus]  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me broken  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so  
Why didn't you say so?  
You let me go, you left me open  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so


[Outro]  
Why didn’t you say so?  
You let me go, you left me open  
You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so

[Intro]
*Oh, oh*

[Verse 1]
You came into my life, brought some light to my grey  
I get nervous every time you look my way  
It's crazy what love can do  
Now I'm here speaking my truth  
In this world full of hustle and grind  
You bring some peace, you ease my mind  
You've got all my love  
I need you to know now

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my love  
Am I falling?  
I can't find the words to say  
First my heart aches  
Then my voice shakes  
So I had to write it down today

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling (Oh, my darling)  
What you started (What you started)  
Feels like I've got it all to lose  
First the ground shakes  
Years of mistakes  
You've given me a new shot  
So I live it for you  
I got to do it right for you  
I got to do it right for you

[Verse 2]
You, you  
Wanted to be real with you, oh  
Wanna take my time with you, but  
Life never follows our plans  
Through all the mess and the fires  
It's not about perfection, it's about getting higher  
Promise to protect every part of you, oh  
'Cause you belong to me (Oh)  
No fights, you're right by me  
No matter where you go  
I got your back, oh  
Man a try you, I'll be your shadow

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my love  
Am I falling?  
I can't find the words to say  
First my heart aches  
Then my voice shakes  
So I had to write it down today

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling (Oh, my darling)  
What you started (What you started)  
Feels like I've got it all to lose  
First the ground shakes  
Years of mistakes  
You've given me a new shot  
So I live it for you  
I got to do it right for you  
I got to do it right for you

[Rap Verse]
In Edmonton, where life's a daily grind  
You and me, babe, we got our own kind  
Forgot my birthday, but it's alright  
Life's tough, sometimes we lose sight  
Got a hustle, keep the lights on at night  
We're from different paths, but it feels so right  
You from council flats, me from a tree-lined street  
But here, together, our souls meet  
Love in the air, struggles in our way  
But I wouldn't trade this for any payday  
Sure, we got our flaws, who doesn't?  
But I'll stand by you, through the dozen  
Not perfect, but we got heart  
In this community, we play our part  
So let's be real, let's be true  
In this life, I choose you

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling (Oh, my darling)  
What you started (What you started)  
Feels like I've got it all to lose  
First the ground shakes  
Years of mistakes  
You've given me a new shot  
So I live it for you  
I got to do it right for you  
I got to do it right for you

[Outro]
*Oh, oh*  
I got to do it right for you  
*Oh, oh*  
I got to do it right for you

[Verse 1]
In the hills of Jamaica, life was tough,
A young boy with dreams, but life was rough.
Milkin' the goat at dawn, school by the stream,
Too tired to learn, but oh, he'd dream.

[Chorus]
From the bush to the boat, left it all behind,
Sailing to England, freedom on his mind.
Faced the rain and the pain, but he stood tall,
In the heart of Wolverhampton, he gave it his all.

[Verse 2]
Found work in the city, nights full of light,
Met a tall beauty, his love at first sight.
Shotgun wedding, troubles came his way,
But he worked even harder, come what may.

[Chorus]
From the bush to the boat, left it all behind,
Sailing to England, freedom on his mind.
Faced the rain and the pain, but he stood tall,
In the heart of Wolverhampton, he gave it his all.

[Bridge]
Little by little, life turned around,
From the struggles of the past, love was found.
With his wife and kids, they built a home,
What a wonderful life, how far they've grown.

[Chorus]
From the bush to the boat, left it all behind,
Sailing to England, freedom on his mind.
Faced the rain and the pain, but he stood tall,
In the heart of Wolverhampton, he gave it his all.

[Outro]
Jamaica made in rum, curry goat, and fun,
Living life with love, beneath the English sun.
Mostly rain, but sometimes sun, 
Oh, what a journey, how far he's come.

[Verse 1]  
He's ghosting me on our dates, weekends alone  
No friends of his I know, always on my phone  
I love him, think I can change his ways  
Playing cool, being chill, caught in his gaze

[Pre-Chorus]  
But when I bring it up, I'm the crazy one  
Obsessed, selfish, and a nag, he’s the sun  
Friends tell me to leave, no specifics though  
Caught in his control, feeling so low

[Chorus]  
Why's his head turning 'round?  
Eyes on her, I feel the ground  
Craving a bigger, better deal  
Leaving me small, what's the appeal?

[Verse 2]  
In love, we're out, but his mind's adrift  
Undressing her with his eyes, our bond's a rift  
Is she doing this to me, or is he moving on?  
Physically here, mentally gone

[Pre-Chorus]  
But when I bring it up, I'm the crazy one  
Obsessed, selfish, and a nag, he’s the sun  
Friends tell me to leave, no specifics though  
Caught in his control, feeling so low

[Chorus]  
Why's his head turning 'round?  
Eyes on her, I feel the ground  
Craving a bigger, better deal  
Leaving me small, what's the appeal?

[Bridge]  
Then it hits, all the nights I missed  
Parties, friends, laughter, bliss  
Wasted on this loser, no more chances  
Time to dance, new romances

[Chorus]  
Why's his head turning 'round?  
Eyes on her, I feel the ground  
Craving a bigger, better deal  
Leaving me small, what's the appeal?

[Outro]  
So long, distracted boyfriend, I'm moving on
