A FLY LOVE (SAY WHAT)

This song was created on a Sunday afternoon in August 2017. I had been drawing influence musically from a Nigerian children’s gospel song I grew up listening to when my grandma was staying with us. Still early in my writing stage (just under a year of writing music), this song came rather seamlessly. (I did make a few edits, of course, as recently as last year.)

This is one of those songs that truly has no deeper, esoteric kind of meaning. It’s the purest representation of being in tune with myself through the music. It’s a song about what music does for me on an emotional, intellectual & spiritual level and sharing that with the people.

I’d performed it live for four years —at every open mic, basement gig, and local venue I could get a chance at — before ever making the studio recording. I knew I was sitting on something special, so I took my time with it. But now is that time. And I want everyone to sing along with me.

LYRICS

'Kechi
Chai
Na na
Long time coming
Sweetest melody
It's like

 Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melodies harmonize
Don't try to criticize my vocals
That was realized through classical and local
'Kovsky and Kuti, Bilal and Beethoven
Just like Lupe, rap wasn't my first chosen
Then I became open to the rhyme, play the rhythm in my heart
Bells chime, telling my own izm like Badu
Call it 'Kechi-izm, but the shit ain't catchy
Spit my flow, can't nobody else match me
Actually it ain't just about the flow
Put the Durag on it
From the velvet to the silk, anyway I don it
This songs about what's embedded deep within
But if I go deep within her in bed then that's a sin
I knew a Sim, I hadn't seen her since
Got so cynical
Life's no Cinderella or Sims
Or wonderland like Little Simz
Anointed by Simba
But seems it ain't simple no more
I feel I'm tryna make a deal staring at three doors
Can't tell what's in store
My hands getting sore
Conga for hours, I'm soaring, I'm so empowered
Swallowing the beat cuz music is my remedy
As I sing over this melody

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melodic dictation, ain't that a situation
Listening to inner tunes while y'all having conversation
But it ain't oral, it's aural - skills for the drums
Y'all still talking shit, block my ears with both thumbs
Ask yourself
Do you listen for content?
For the lyrical views or the musical elements?
Cuz I've spent days on the same line, the same beat
I even skip lunch time
Food for thought, my treat
Let it thaw out in my mental
Pause, reflect, repeat
Eating up the instrumental, let it thaw out in my mental
Pause
See the effect I caused
My mind's sharp like the teeth on jaws
Or the sharp on D, it fits the harmony
I fit the armor that God sent me
When the walls fall down, the final trumpet sounds
And I'll be found bound for the heavenly
As I sing over this melody

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special
Melody in my heart
It's the start of part of something special

Melody

you know I want you
