Lyrics: 
(Living my best life)
(Living my best life) 
 
This house is now a litany 
Things I thought I'd never be 
A man who has opinions on an ottoman among other things 
 
I used to think I'd miss the road 
The crushing fame and sold out shows 
Now I just sing head shoulders knees and toes
Cause my kid’s forgotten ‘em
 
But I’m alive and 
Baby I’m thriving 
Oh yeah 
 
I’m living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would 
I’ve been getting my steps in 
And I sleep with my best friend 
It’s the best that it has been in a long time 
I’m living my best life (living my best life) 
Yeah living my best life (living my best life) 
 
Sometimes this sucks to tell the truth 
And I took it hard like people do 
I’m learning how to eat the fruit that is in season 
 
Never thought I’d be a grown ass man 
but you know what they say of best laid plans 
Now I'm holding on to my daughter’s hand 
And I’ve got a reason 
 
To be alive and 
Oh yeah 
Baby I’m thriving
Yeah, Yeah 
 
I’m living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would 
But I’ve been getting my steps in 
And I sleep with my best friend 
It’s the best that it has been in a long time 
I’m living my best life (living my best life) 
Yeah, living my best life (living my best life) 
 
C'mon 
I’m living my best life the best that I can 
No more worry or stress life
Cause I'm done with them 
I'm as light as can be 
I'm as fresh as a breeze 
Right where I wanna be so
If you need to find me I’ll be 
 
Living my best life 
Waking up with the sunrise 
Looking at things like what the actual hell 
But I’ve been counting my blessings 
And I sleep with my best friend 
It’s the best that it has been for a long time 
It’s the best that it had been for a long time 
I’m living my best life, (living my best life)
Yeah living my best life Oooh (living my best life) 
I’ve been living my, living my, living my best life oooohhhh
(living my best life)
(living my best life)

Lyrics:

One, two
Yup
 
When it’s the end of the weekend
But not quite the end of the weekend
Check it out
It is what it is
You got me feelin’
 
You make me feel like I’m in all my best clothes
So good that I don’t care that Chick-Fil-A’s closed
Like a slow motion cruise on the backroads and byways
Windows down and avoidin’ the highways
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all day and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
And maybe we should make some breakfast
We got lots of time that seems like a good investment
It’s the end of the week and I make a mean quiche
Maybe all of our friends should come over to eat
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all of my time and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like Chick-Fil-A was open on a Sunday
(Snoop, I know, we tried, it was closed, wouldn’t that be great)
Check it out
This a hit
You can tell radio
All the DJs will play it
Cause we got that hustle, that flow
I’m feelin’ good
Feelin’ fresh
Feelin’ blessed
Little stressed
 
And when I’m with you I feel that joy inside my chest
 
What you feel
Just depends on what you see
But just don’t take it from me
I’m just the D O double G
 
You got me feelin’ like a Sunday (Ohh)
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise (singing praise)
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend (got me feelin’ like the weekend)
You give me somethin’ to believe in (give me somethin’ to believe in)
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Skies are baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Sunday
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Skies are blue and the clouds have gone away
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Sunday (feat. Snoop Dogg)

Love Is The New Money

Magic

A stripped-down, soul-baring confessional carved from the silence left after love fades. Left Out Loud tells the story of being ghosted by the one who once called you “fiancé,” blending poetic vulnerability with raw acoustic intimacy. It’s a breakup letter turned lullaby for the brokenhearted queer soul — soft piano, whispered pain, and pride in the ache. Shaman Solace stands unmasked in this ballad, where love isn’t erased… just unanswered

“[VERSE 1]
I don’t know what else to say,
Words keep fallin’ the wrong way.
Maybe it’s not fair or true,
But I feel forgotten by you.

[VERSE 2]
Like I’m waitin’ in a room gone cold,
Holdin’ onto what we used to hold.
If I’m wrong, I’ll wear the blame—
But I still ache when you don’t say my name.

[CHORUS]
Left out loud, like a tear on wood,
Tried to speak, but not sure I should.
You called me babe, you joked “fiancé,”
Now I’m the one you pushed away.
If this is love, then I’m still proud—
Even if I’m left out loud.

[VERSE 3]
You said “boyfriend” feels too small,
But you’re the one who built that wall.
Funny, now I see the twist—
You acted more like a boy than this.

[BRIDGE – soft, almost spoken melody]
I never thought you’d walk that line,
Leaving all this heart behind.
But still I wait, without a sound,
Hoping you’ll turn back around.

[CHORUS – repeat gently]
Left out loud, with my truth laid bare,
Reaching out through thinning air.
If I’m a fool, then let me be—
A fool who still believes in “we.”
Come back like you said you would…
Come back and help me like you could.

[OUTRO – soft piano fade]
So here I am, no mask, no crowd…
Still standing,
Left out loud.
