NPR Tiny Desk Concert | Favorites Vol. 1

Velvet Bite

Verse 1
Cigarette lips on the edge of my wine,
You taste temptation, but the sin is mine.
Don’t call it romance, it’s a darker game,
You’ll beg for the fire while you curse my name.

Pre-Chorus
I lean in slow, with a promise and a threat,
Every kiss I give is a debt you won’t forget.

Chorus
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
You want the pleasure, take the pain,
I’ll make you crawl, then call my name.

Verse 2
High heels clicking on your guilty floor,
You swear it’s the last time, then you want it more.
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
But I’ll feed you a thrill that your money can’t buy.

Pre-Chorus
I’m the fever, I’m the cure, I’m the crime,
You’ll lose your heaven just to taste my rhyme.

Chorus
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
You want the danger, play my hand,
I’m your weakness, understand.

Bridge
Oh, desire’s a razor, I keep it close,
Cut you deep while I kiss like a ghost.
You think you can handle, you think you can win,
But I’ll pull you under, then bite you again.

Chorus (extended)
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
Every pleasure comes with a price,
So beg me once, then beg me twice.

Velvet Bite

I do not own this music. It belongs to Anderson .Paak. I just wanted to share his live work.

-----------------------------------------------------
Tyler, The Creator's Tiny Desk performance was a first for many reasons. It was the Los Angeles rapper's first time performing at our offices, but moreover, it was the Tiny Desk's first nighttime performance, a special request from Tyler and his team in order to professionally light the "stage" themselves. Members of Tyler's lighting crew came to the office a day before to set it up, eventually bathing him and his band in shades of fuchsia, orange and blue — one for each song — during the early evening show.

Flower Boy, Tyler's latest album, is much like this Tiny Desk performance; a surprising departure from the expected. Four albums in, he has matured as a producer, rapper and human being. Often equated to hip-hop's class clown, the 26-year-old peels back his own mask of immaturity to reveal a young adult grappling with anxiety, fear and uncertainty of self.

After he was done, Tyler did something of a modified mic-drop, throwing his tambourine in celebration of what he and his band had accomplished. Always one to stay casually connected with his fans, Tyler made time — nearly an hour after the performance was done —- to pose for photos, sign merch and crack jokes with (and on) everyone around him.
