Your Portrait

I Refuse (Album Version)

Prea Dulce

Soft Goodbye

Valet Ticket (1)

[Intro – Spoken softly]
🎙️
Hey… you don’t look so good today.
Everything okay?

⸻

[Verse 1]
You look a little pale, maybe you caught a cold.
Been pushing too hard again, I can tell.
Did you get any sleep last night?
You don’t have to act so strong all the time.

⸻

[Chorus – Sung tenderly]
Take it easy, my friend.
You don’t have to do everything today.
Eat something warm, and get some rest.
If you need a doctor, I’ll come with you — okay?

⸻

[Interlude – Soft instrumental]
🎶 (lo-fi piano, gentle beat)
“Mmm… just rest your mind, my friend…”

⸻

[Verse 2]
Have you eaten today? Just coffee and bread?
That won’t do — your body needs more care.
Do you have any medicine for your cold?
If not, I can grab some on my way.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Spoken gently]
Hey, don’t worry about class. Everyone gets sick sometimes.
You’re far from home, but you’re not alone here.

⸻

[Chorus – Sung warmly]
Take it easy, my friend.
Skip class if you need to — it’s fine.
If you feel worse, I’ll go with you.
I’ll translate, I’ll be your guide.

⸻

[Interlude – Soft spoken over music]
🎙️
When you’re far from home, even a cold feels heavier.
But I’m here — you can lean on me anytime.

⸻

[Bridge – Sung softly]
You’re not alone in this town tonight,
I’ll stay close till you’re feeling right.
When words don’t come, I’ll speak for you.
That’s what real friends do.

⸻

[Final Chorus – Sung gently, like a lullaby]
Take it easy, my friend.
Rest your heart, and rest your mind.
If you need a doctor, I’ll come too.
You’re not alone — I’m right by your side.

⸻

[Outro – Spoken, fading music]
🎙️
Okay… promise me you’ll rest tonight, alright?
Get better soon.
You’re not alone here.

🎶 (Soft piano outro, gentle humming fade)

Keith Sweat is the undisputed King of New Jack Swing, the hugely popular and influential merging of melodic R&B with hip-hop’s rhythms and production techniques. Signed to Elektra in 1987, the Harlem-born singer/songwriter/producer released his debut album, Make It Last Forever, to instant acclaim and RIAA three-times platinum certification. Highlighted by the #1 R&B/Hip-Hop hit, “I Want Her,” the album reached #1 on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart – the first of five consecutive albums to do so.

A remarkably prolific artist, Sweat was unstoppable as the ‘90s got underway, dominating the “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles” chart with such #1 singles as “Make You Sweat,” “I’ll Give All My Love To You,” and “Keep It Comin’.” As if all that weren’t enough, Sweat discovered the Atlanta-based vocal quintet Silk, for whom he co-wrote and co-produced “Freak Me,” which hit #1 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” in May 1993.

1996 proved a banner year, with the release of Sweat’s self-titled, four-times platinum-certified fifth album. Keith Sweat saw the vocalist joined by a number of guests, including soul legend Ron Isley and his great friend Gerald Levert, with whom he’d later form the supergroup LSG alongside Johnny Gill. What’s more, the album featured Sweat’s biggest crossover hits to date in the platinum-certified, R&B/Hip-Hop #1s, “Nobody (Feat. Athena Cage)” and “Twisted (Feat. Pretty Russ & Kut Klose).”

With a seemingly inexhaustible flow of fresh songs, Sweat remains among the most popular and productive superstars in modern R&B, his unique style and smooth sound still setting the gold standard for urban contemporary soul.
