Yeah I ain't tryna waste your time
And you ain't tryna waste mine either, girl
And all we really got is time
All we really got

Yeah I'm up in the club w my best friend Jack
Mr. Daniels got me suave like an LL. track
I'm pretty new to the night scene, these NY cats
They kinda different than my Colorado homies back
At home where the DJ's running that Return of the Mack
Look around see for once everybody's Black
Then I spot a pretty lady and she spotting me back
I gotta say

Ay girl you looking good in that little black dress
Yeah I see you with your friends, y'all came to impress
With your waist all snatched and your edges laid back
But I can't help but wonder where your dance partner at

Put your hand in mine
I won't dance without you
I can't dance without you
Or go home without you

I can't dance without you
Or go home without you
I can't dance without you
Or go home without you

Do you wanna dance in the night time
Get a little groovy to get out your mind
Grab onto my hand in the night time
Get a little taste of the good life

Do you wanna dance in the night time
Get a little boogie to get out your mind
Grab onto my hand in the night time
Get a little taste of the good life

And baby I ain't tryna waste your time
And you ain't tryna waste mine either
And all we really got is time
All we really got is time

I got my hand around your waistline
You ain't gotta spend this night alone
She like to dance in the nighttime
Why you tryna take off my cologne

I like how you move
I like how you dance yeah

Do you wanna dance in the night time
Get a little groovy to get out your mind
Grab onto my hand in the night time
Get a little taste of the good vibes

Baby I ain't tryna waste your time
And you ain't tryna waste mine either
And all we really got is time
All we really got is time

Do you wanna dance in the night time
Get a little boogie to get out your mind
Grab onto my hand in the night time
Get a little taste of the good life

Do you wanna dance in the night time
You wanna dance in the night time?
Get a little boogie to get out your mind
Grab onto my hand in the night time
Get a little taste of the good life

Nomadic Soul is a bonafide conversation with our inner world, touching on our deep-seated yearnings for connection, a sense of place, and the meaning of home amidst the both euphoria and underbelly of life. It's about that inner "Nomadic Soul" in each of us, roaming between the untouched beauty of nature and cruel reality of humanity. In the face of overwhelming and unbearable trauma and crises, our attempts to resist and fight often end in vain. Thus, we seek escape, yearning for a haven within the untouched realms of nature—a sanctuary for our exhausted and wounded spirits. Yet, these ideal habitats are ephemeral, and they become no longer eternal. It is at this crossroads that we commence a nomadic life, endeavoring to reconcile with everything around us, including ourselves, as we navigate this extensive adventure. This work is asking—probing the themes of connection, displacement, and the quest for belonging within both the natural land and human world, symbolized by juxtaposing serene natural imagery with the grittier aspects of human existence. The narrative oscillates between moments of clarity and confusion, reflecting our internal struggle to find a true sense of belonging in a world that is simultaneously vast and intimate. The exploration of belonging touches on a deep existential inquiry, questioning the very foundations of existence, survival, and identity.
