[Title: NIGHT RIDER – GoolZan]

[Intro]

City hum on my skin, headlights like prayers
I learned to outrun pain on midnight stairs
[pause]
I ain’t lookin’ for heaven—just clean air

[Verse 1]

Rent due, heart blue, one eye on the clock
Burner phone buzzin’, I ghost every block
Mama said “slow,” but the world don’t stop
Trauma in the rearview, teeth on the lock

Chrome-lip dreams, but the past got teeth
I stitch up the night just to try and breathe
If love is a toll, I paid with a sleeve
Scars spell maps that you wouldn’t believe

Gas on my sins, neon on my tongue
Shadow on the dash say “where you from?”
I floor the ache till the silence hums
Blacktop prayers, I don’t play numb

[Pre-Chorus]

I been runnin’ from a version of me
Shadow in the glass say “let it be”
I press down harder, hear the engine speak
[rise]
If the light turn red, I still chase the streak

[Chorus]

I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
Neon on my tongue, pain turnin’ into power
Devils in the lane, try to keep me sour
I kiss the dark—watch the fear devour
I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
City on my back, fate on the counter
Pray with the gas, talk to the tower
If I don’t make dawn, tell the night I’m louder

[Post-Chorus]

Ride… ride… ride…
I burn, then bloom on the other side

[Verse 2]

Blackout curtains, insomnia tax
I learned how to dance with a panic attack
Short breath, long road, truth in the cracks
Every “never” I broke like glass

Mind like a highway—lanes on fire
You call it reckless, I call it choir
Every bad memory, cheap barbed wire
I turn ’em to smoke in a midnight tire

Quiet in the cab, windows low
Knuckles on the wheel, let the bruise go
If dawn don’t answer, I ride solo
Name in the fog where the ghosts slow

[Pre-Chorus]
[filter]
If I stall, I fall—so I keep it in gear
Hope in the dash, ghosts in the mirror
I ain’t what I was, but I’m still right here
[rise]
Streetlights crown me when I disappear

[Chorus]

I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
Neon on my tongue, pain turnin’ into power
Devils in the lane, try to keep me sour
I kiss the dark—watch the fear devour
I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
City on my back, fate on the counter
Pray with the gas, talk to the tower
If I don’t make dawn, tell the night I’m louder

[Bridge]

I ain’t runnin’ from love—I’m runnin’ to breath
I ain’t scared of the fall—just scared of regret
If the past show teeth, then I bare my neck
[glitch]
Break… then build… that’s the dialect



[Final Chorus]

I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
If the pain want smoke, I bring it a flower
Turn my wounds to ink, sign my power
I don’t beg light—I make it shower
I’m a Night Rider, 200 miles? per hour.
City on my pulse, fate on the counter
Edge of the dawn, I refuse to cower
If I don’t see sun, I still tower

[Outro]

Sirens to silence, breath gets clean
Night gave me claws, day gave me steam
If you hear my name in the neon hour—
Tell ’em I rode through the fear… and devoured
[tapestop]

Life is never easy. And that painful truth hit home for Mandisa with blunt force during the last three years. While fans and industry professionals wondered where the Grammy winning singer had disappeared to, Mandisa silently withdrew from the spotlight and was even hiding from family and friends.  She had watched a dear friend lose her battle with breast cancer, leaving behind a husband and two young sons.  Suddenly, the world didn’t seem to make sense anymore.  Reeling from the pain, she isolated herself from everyone, gained back the weight she had fought so hard to lose, and sank into a deep depression.

 “To be honest, that’s not how I thought things were going to happen,” she says of her friend Kisha’s passing. “I just shut down, isolated, and started turning to my old friend food for comfort.  My loved ones were reaching out and I would ignore their phone calls and text messages. It got to the point where I had friends who, out of love and concern, came to my house banging on the door and I just put in some ear plugs and pretended I wasn't there. I was angry at the world.”

 Yet inside Mandisa was still the same woman who had encouraged a multitude of people from all walks of life with the triumphant hit anthem “Overcomer.”  “I still don’t have all the answers, but I’m in a better place now,” says Mandisa, who is working on her sixth album, due in May 2017.

These days she has more to say than ever.  One of the turning points in her battle with depression came when a circle of friends sought her out at a movie theater. When Mandisa walked out of the theater, she was surprised to see her car papered with stick-it notes from friends proclaiming their love and concern for her. This shocking sight was followed by her awareness that these friends had been sitting in the parking lot waiting for her for over three hours. The resulting "intervention" convinced her to go to counseling to deal with her grief, and helped bring Mandisa back from the darkness that had enveloped her since Kisha’s death.

Mandisa is back with a renewed passion for her music and a willingness to be totally transparent and vulnerable about her journey.  She’s reconnecting with people, losing the weight she regained during her depression, and writing and recording such potent songs as “Prove Me Wrong” where she lays bare her soul and voices her questions, “I’m Still Here (The Best is Yet to Come),” a comeback song that proclaims that she's still here and not giving up and “Unfinished,” saying…

“Not scared to say it; I used to be the one; Preaching it to you; That you could overcome; I still believe it; But it ain’t easy; Cause that world I painted; Where things just all work out; It started changing; And I started having doubts; And it got me so down”

“My hope is that people will be on this journey with me,” she says. “When I began, I was in a really dark place, but where I am today is so much better and so much lighter!”
