Good Taste (Jazz Instrumental)

Verse 1]
Tired eyes, ashen face
Giving in this selfless race
You fight for the oppressed
You insist on kinder words
Worn out lungs, a bitter taste
Another dawn laid to waste
Always on the strange defense
Struggling to make it make sense

[Chorus]
And you're glowing
You color and fracture the light
You just can't help but shine
And I know that
You carry the whole world on your back
But who looks at you tonight?
Who loves you?

[Verse 2]
Torn jeans, thin coat
Trying hard to stay afloat
You march out there for peace
While your own heart finds no release
Loose threads on your clothes
A weary soul, as everyone knows
You're a pay-it-forward helpline with no phone

[Chorus]
And you're glowing
You color and fracture the light
You just can't help but shine
And I know that
You carry the whole world on your back
But who looks at you tonight?
Who loves you?

[Bridge]
And they say
You’re in some kind of dream
Stuck in your noble routine
Been this way since you were nineteen, but lately
Your own light seems
Slowly sinking, fading
Crumbling like old keepsakes
And you scream
That the best things in life are given for free

[Chorus]
But you're glowing
You color and fracture the light
You can't help but shine
And I know that
You carry the whole world on your back
But just look at you tonight
Let me love you

[Outro]
It's too cold outside
For angels to hide
Angels to hide
Let me love you
Look at you tonight
You color the light
Let me love you


You're Glowing

[Intro]
Yo
Check the mic, one two
Life's a test, it's true
But I found my strength in the Word, it's how I push through

[Chorus]
You can trust in worldly things, I put my hope in the Divine
Saw them calls on a Sunday, had to put my soul on the line
Can't be tempted by the flesh, my spirit's strong, my will is weak
This darkness tries to hold me captive, but His grace is what I seek
On Monday, I hold the faith, and fight until the weekend's light
On Tuesday, I hold the faith, and make it through the lonely night
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday prayers, I won't quit 'til my last breath
People fade, but God remains, my faith won't see a death

[Verse 1]
And I'm still here tryna keep my faith strong
In a world where right and wrong is a blurry song (That's right)
'Cause they all wanna be there when the sun shines bright
But when the storm clouds gather, they vanish in the night
And we're not all built the same, that's a fact I know
So Father, show me who's a friend and who's a foe
A thousand empty promises don't mean you're true to me
Show me your heart, and stand in faith for all to see (True)
Why would I fear what people say or what they do
When I know the King of Kings is the one who sees me through
Every morning, I hit my knees and say a little prayer
Know I'm protected when I lay my head, He's always there
Think about the times I walked the edge, so close to the fall
Picked up my cross, and in His name, I gave my all
And if the whole world turned its back, I wouldn't even stress
'Cause I got the God of angel armies, nothing less (That's true)

[Chorus]
So you can trust in worldly things, I put my hope in the Divine
Saw them calls on a Sunday, had to put my soul on the line (Let's go)
And I can't be tempted by the flesh, my spirit's strong, my will is weak
This darkness tries to hold me captive, but His grace is what I seek
On Monday, I hold the faith (True) and fight until the weekend's light (Yeah)
On Tuesday, I hold the faith and make it through the lonely night
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday prayers, I won't quit 'til my last breath
People fade, but God remains, my faith won't see a death (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
He gave me no chance to regret
Left my soul soaking wet
With that same old empty bet
Me and my spirit high
And my weeping eyes dry
I'll move on without that lie
You went back to your old ways
So far from grace
From all our brighter days
And I walk a weary track
My hope was stacked
I'll go back to black

[Chorus]
We only parted ways with pain
I felt a thousand deaths in rain
You go back to your storm
And I go back to
I go back to black

[Verse 3]
But that black ain't my home no more, it's just a memory's trace
A shadow of a former me, lost in time and space
'Cause the light of God's love, it broke right through the grey
And showed me that the darkest night is just before the day
This urban battlefield is cold, it's easy to lose sight
But every verse I spit's a prayer, a beacon in the night
From the concrete jungle's roar to the silence of my room
His presence is the only thing that dissipates the gloom.
They see the come up, not the struggle, the pain that's deep inside
The wrestling with my own dark thoughts, the tears I used to hide.
Now I wear my scars with pride, a testament to grace
Found my purpose in the struggle, now I've found my place.

[Outro]
Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black
I won't go back
I won't go back
To black

God's Plan

To be clear, Black is a metaphor for clinical depression.

[Intro]

[Singer - Verse]
He gave me no chance to regret
Left my soul soaking wet
With that same old empty bet
Me and my spirit high
And my weeping eyes dry
I'll move on without that lie
You went back to your old ways
So far from grace
From all our brighter days
And I walk a weary track
My hope was stacked
I'll go back to black

[Singer - Chorus]
We only parted ways with pain
I felt a thousand deaths in rain
You go back to your storm
And I go back to
I go back to black

[Rap]
But that black ain't my home no more, it's just a memory's trace
A shadow of a former me, lost in time and space
'Cause the light of God's love, it broke right through the grey
And showed me that the darkest night is just before the day
This urban battlefield is cold, it's easy to lose sight
But every verse I spit's a prayer, a beacon in the night

[Singer - Outro]
Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black
I won't go back
I won't go back
To black

God's Plan (Sunday Remix)

[Intro]
Yeah... you got me...
Do-do-do-do-do-oo-oo-oo-oo
(You know you do)
Bah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
(Ooooh)

[Verse 1]
Don't I match your vibe now? (Don't I?)
Don't I play this game so good, 'n I? (Don't I?)
Don't I take your everything? (Don't I?)
I lose my head just to be your man, 'n I (Don't I?)

[Chorus]
Don't we make it crazy? 'N I
Don't we lose the fight?
Why you gotta own me, baby? 'N I
Your wrong feels so right.

[Verse 2]
I buy your wild ideas,
Everything, that a sane man should fear.
I bought the lies, the heat, the show,
When my own mind is telling me to go,
But I am back for more.

[Hook]
Don't I?
(You know it)
Don't I?
(Pushin' my buttons)
Don't I?
(Hooked on you)
Don't I?

[Verse 3]
There's something wrong with me,
Tell me,
Bring me all your chaos, dear.
You look wild, you should be mine,
Your twisted love, always a sign, you sit right here,
And let me taste those wicked lips.

[Chorus]
Don't we make it crazy? 'N I
Don't we lose the fight?
Why you gotta own me, baby? Eh-Uh
Your wrong feels so right.

[Bridge]
It's a mystery to me,
That you won't...
Set me free...
What it is that you do...
To make me... act a fool for you.
Loud and aggressive, yeah, it's true...
But in the dark, my world is you.

[Outro]
Your wrong feels so right!
(Yeah, you satisfy me!)
Don't we make it crazy, baby?
(Night after night!)
Why you gotta own me, baby?
(In the bedroom at night!)
Your wrong feels so right!

Don't We Make It Crazy?

Don't We Make It Crazy? (Sunnyside Remix)

[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
