Mama’s got the rhythm
It’s a thing she does
Cool it down

Shakin’ like a bottle of soda pop
Cool it down

Shakin’ that moneymaker like a Polaroid picture
Cool it down
Mama

[Chorus]
Mama
You’re so hot
The fire marshall’s gonna shut us down

Move it like a jellybean and not like Jell-O

Burnin’ like a brush fire
Don’t let it get out of control
Cool it down

Cool it down
If the night gets away from you
I’m just lettin’ you know
Cool it down
Mama
Cool it down
[Chorus]

[Bridge - Reggae Rap]
Ey, Mama, yuh movin’ like a riddim from di islands, mon,
Shakin’ di earth, hot like Scotch Bonnet sun,
But di flame too fierce, we fi ease up di run,
Sip di coconut water, let di cool breeze come.
Yuh hips sway like di sea ‘pon a lazy tide,
Burnin’ up di dancehall, no place fi hide,
But hold steady now, don’t let di fire confide,
Cool it down, irie gal, keep di vibe alive.
Bassline bubblin’, offbeat skankin’ slow,
From Kingston streets to dis party glow,
Yuh too fiery, Mama, stealin’ di show,
Breathe easy, mon, let di river flow.
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re so hot
The fire marshall’s gonna shut us down
Cool it down

Ooh

You too hot
Gonna shut this party down

[Verse]
I call your name but the air just swallows it all
My voice gets lost in the endless hollows
Your eyes glaze over like I’m not here
How’d we end up in this atmosphere

[Prechorus]
I reach you
You vanish
I speak
You don’t hear
I’m standing in your shadow
But you’re nowhere near

[Chorus]
Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine feels colder than stone
Your heart’s a house
But it’s not my home
I’m screaming loud inside my head
I’m alive but this love feels dead

[Chorus]
Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

[Bridge]
I build a bridge
You burn it down
I wear the crown of a love that drowns
I’m tired of running in this race
It’s a one-way street
No embrace

Empty echoes
Empty space
I’m chasing love you won’t replace
Talking to walls
No reply
You’re the sun
I’m the sky

Empty echoes… (echo: echoes…)
I’m breakin’, I’m fallin’, but I won’t let it go!

Empty Echoes

Passion in Paradise

Yeah, feel that bassline, let it move your soul,
This is our story, let the rhythm take control.

Under the palm trees, where the ocean sings,
Two hearts collide, feel the spark it brings.
Your eyes like cocoa, mine like the sea,
Together we’re fire, burning wild and free.
From different worlds, but our souls align,
In the heat of the night, your hand in mine.
The rhythm of the waves, it pulls us near,
Love’s got no boundaries, it’s crystal clear.

(Pre-Chorus)
Colors of our skin, they blend in the light,
Dancing through the stars, we ignite the night.
No walls, no chains, just you and me,
In this paradise, we’re forever free.

(Chorus)
Passion in paradise, our hearts collide,
Riding the rhythm, love’s our guide.
We’re a melody, a sweet embrace,
Two souls, one love, in this sacred place.
Oh, oh, oh, passion in paradise,
Oh, oh, oh, love that never dies.
Through the beat, we rise, no divide,
Together forever, in paradise.

(Verse 2)
Your roots run deep, like the island’s core,
My spirit’s wild, like the winds that soar.
We paint the sunset with every kiss,
A love so bold, it’s eternal bliss.
The drums keep pounding, our hearts in tune,
Underneath the glow, where our love’s in bloom.
No judgment here, just the truth we share,
A love so pure, it’s beyond compare.

(Pre-Chorus )
Colors of our skin, they blend in the light,
(Singer’s tone soft, yet burning bright)
Dancing through the stars, we ignite the night.
No walls, no chains, just you and me,
In this paradise, we’re forever free.

(Chorus)
Passion in paradise, our hearts collide,
Riding the rhythm, love’s our guide.
We’re a melody, a sweet embrace,
Two souls, one love, in this sacred place.
Oh, oh, oh, passion in paradise,
Oh, oh, oh, love that never dies.
Through the beat, we rise, no divide,
Together forever, in paradise.
(Bridge)
Let the music take us higher, feel the fire, feel the flame,
Every touch, every whisper, calling out, we’re not the same.
In the glow of the night, where our differences fade,
We’re a symphony of love, in this world we’ve made.
(Breakdown)
(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh) Feel the beat, let it flow,
(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh) Where our love will only grow.
(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh) In paradise, we’re
Dancing till the morning sun.
Passion in paradise, our hearts collide,
Riding the rhythm, love’s our guide.
We’re a melody, a sweet embrace,
Two souls, one love, in this sacred place.
Oh, oh, oh, passion in paradise,
Oh, oh, oh, love that never dies.
Through the beat, we rise, no divide,
Together forever, in paradise.
(Outro)
In paradise, we’re free, just you and me,
Passion in our hearts, for eternity.
Under the stars, where our love will stay,
In this paradise, forever and a day.

(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh) Passion in paradise…
(Singer’s whisper lingers, soft and precise)
(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh) Love that never dies…

Passion in Paradise - Extended Club Mix

[Verse]
The night drips slow like honey on skin
A spark in the dark where sins begin
Your eyes are a fire I can't outrun
A devil's game but oh so fun

[Prechorus]
Whispered lies
A tangled tune
Breathless heat beneath the moon

[Chorus]
Wicked games we play tonight
No wrong or right
Just black and white
Fingers trace what words can’t name
Desire burns
We're both to blame

[Verse 2]
A shadow dance
Your touch like smoke
Pulling me deeper
I’m bound
I’m choked
The air tastes heavy
Electric
Sweet
Your body’s rhythm my heart’s defeat

[Bridge]
Temptation’s thread
A silken noose
I pull it tight
I let it loose
Caught in a web we spun with care
No escape
And I don’t care

[Chorus]
Wicked games we play tonight
No wrong or right
Just black and white
Fingers trace what words can’t name
Desire burns
We're both to blame

Nothing matters
Nothing matters
Oh no, nothing matters
Nothing matters
Once love is gone

(Verse)
The choices you're making
The dice you've rolled
Is the truth that you're speaking
The lies you've told
Is the moment after 
You lose it all 

(Prechorus)
I'm falling through ice, yeah
It feels so cold
I'm struggling to breathe air
Feeling alone
I'm reaching out now for you to hold

(Chorus)
The world's just a shadow
Since you walked away
The silence is aching
Every single day
'Cause nothing matters
Nothing matters
When love is gone

Nothing matters
Nothing matters ooh no
Nothing matters
Once love is gone
Ooh ohh yeah yeah

(Verse)
Is the look in his eyes, yeah
Don't shy away
Is the moment after he feels the pain
Can't help but own it
You feel ashamed

(Prechorus)
I'm falling through ice, yeah
It feels so cold
I'm struggling to breathe air
Feeling alone
I'm reaching out now for you to hold
(Oh yeah)

(Chorus)
The world's just a shadow
Since you walked away
The silence is aching
Every single day
'Cause nothing matters

[Chorus]
Show me your love letters
Promises, not empty words
On my screen that tells me
“Hey, how are you, baby?
You look hot, let’s do it”
No one wants love

It’s the only way to meet a girl tonight

The end of love

[Verse 5]
[Verse - Rap Breakdown]
Yo, romance is dead, baby? Straight up, rest in peace,
Buried in the DMs, no cap, it’s deceased.
Open case file, cold as the streets we chase,
Hustlin’ for a hit, but it’s all just a waste.
Beautiful reserve? Nah, that’s a velvet trap,
For the filtered faces, chasin’ clout on the map.
You scoutin’ the scene, eyes low for the thrill,
Huntin’ one-night highs, poppin’ pills for the chill?
Come on, swipe me left, baby, or drag me right quick,
It’s a carousel spin, same old toxic trick.
Don’t phase me, though—I’m ghostin’ the game, flameproof,
Bouncin’ back stronger, no chains, movin’ ruthless.
You? Lace up them kicks, drip in designer glow,
Parade through the void where the real feelings go.
Empty nights stack like unread notifications,
Profile hearts counterfeit, fuelin’ false elations.
But peep this truth, what we fiendin’ for deep,
Ain’t surface-level sparks that flicker and creep.
Beautiful love, the kind that elevates souls,
Higher purpose, the essence that makes us whole.
Strip the fluff, chase the core, the profound and the raw,
Without that foundation? Love crumbles, withdraws.
So spark that wick, murmur a vow to the flame,
Light a candle tonight—revive it, reclaim.
Say a prayer for the lost, for the swipe-swipe survivors,
We the architects now, buildin’ bridges, not divers.
Romance ain’t buried if we rise from the grave,
Keep it alive, wave the flag—love’s our wave.

End Of Love

[Verse 1]
Was it by chance you were looking at me
Most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen
Soft whispers of love in the night
Could it be a premonition
I've never been the kind to see the future
But I'm feeling deja vu (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm thinking that I used to know you
How about you
[Chorus]
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
Girl I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
And I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too
[Bridge]
And I'm hoping that you could be the perfect one in my heart
Something so real, something so true
Tell me right now are you feeling it too
[Verse 2]
I've never been the kind to see the future
But I'm feeling deja vu (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm feeling that I used to know you
How about you
[Chorus]
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
Girl I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
And I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too
[Verse 3]
Standing around this corner tonight
Talking about all the things you like
All the places you've been, all the people you've seen
Your hopes and ambitions, the stars in your dreams
[Bridge]
And I'm hoping that you could be the perfect one in my heart
Something so real, something so true
Tell me right now are you feeling it too
[Chorus]
I've never been the kind to see the future
But I'm feeling deja vu (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm feeling that I used to know you
How about you
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
Girl I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too (feeling it too)
Lovers in love through eternity
Two hearts combined make one melody
And I feel like I know you
And I get the feeling you're feeling it too
(ooh-yeah)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh-ooh)

Feeling It Too

[Verse]
Your laugh hits like a neon sign
I’m stuck here
Waiting in the line
Heart’s got a ticket
But it won’t get scanned
This ain’t the ride I had planned

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the friend zone
Can’t find the exit
Can’t phone home
Your smile’s the light
I’m chasing it blind
But I’m stuck in the friend zone
And you don’t mind

[Verse 2]
Every text feels like a maze
You talk about love in a casual haze
I’m the shoulder
The back-up plan
Not the hero
Just the man

[Prechorus]
I want the spark
Not just the glow
But how to tell you
I don’t know

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the friend zone
Can’t find the exit
Can’t phone home
Your smile’s the light
I’m chasing it blind
But I’m stuck in the friend zone
And you don’t mind

[Bridge]
Let me crash through the static walls
Let me break the unspoken calls
I’m screaming in silence
It’s tearing me down
But you’re dancing
Spinning around

Stuck in the Friend Zone

Verse 1]
We’d laugh under streetlights, your hair in the breeze,
Coffee stains on our sleeves, secrets we’d tease.
I’d rehearse in the mirror a thousand times through,
Words stuck in my throat like a knot I couldn’t undo.
You’d smile that way that lit up the gray,
And I’d freeze in the moment, let the chance slip away.
Now the radio plays our song in the rain,
And I’m haunted by what-ifs, drivin’ me insane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Heart poundin’ like thunder, but I played it so cool,
Afraid of the fallin’, played the fool.
One breath, one beat, and the door swung wide,
But I stood in the shadows, let you walk on by…

[Chorus]
Oh, the one that got away, she was my spark in the dark!
Slipped through my fingers like a shot in the heart!
If I’d found the courage, spoken truth from the start,
We could’ve been forever, not tearin’ apart!
Now I’m chasin’ echoes down these empty streets,
Regrettin’ the silence, the words I didn’t speak!
The one that got away, yeah, you’re the ghost in my veins,
Burnin’ me up with the what could have been!
Oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh!  What could have been

[Verse 2]
Your laugh on the voicemail, I hit play one more time,
Friends say move on, but you’re etched in my mind.
I see you in strangers, in the songs that we shared,
A half-written story, left hangin’ in the air.
Packed up your dreams for a city so far,
Waved from the platform, under that scar.
I screamed in the quiet, “Don’t go, stay with me,”
But the train rolled on, and you set yourself free.

[Pre-Chorus]
The fear was a chain, wrapped tight ‘round my chest,
Stole all my chances, left me a mess.
One leap in the fire, and we’d both catch the flame,
But I hid in the safe, now I’m lost in the blame…

[Chorus]
Oh, the one that got away, she was my spark in the dark!
Slipped through my fingers like a shot in the heart!
If I’d found the courage, spoken truth from the start,
We could’ve been forever, not tearin’ apart!
Now I’m chasin’ echoes down these empty streets,
Regrettin’ the silence, the words I didn’t speak!
The one that got away, yeah, you’re the ghost in my veins,
Burnin’ me up with the what could have been!
Oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! What could have been

[Bridge]
What if I’d grabbed your hand in the pourin’ downpour?
Said, “I love you” loud, right there on the floor?
No more hidin’, no more games in the night,
We’d rewrite the ending, make it feel right.
But time don’t rewind, and the courage came late,
Now I’m learnin’ to live with this beautiful ache!

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the one that got away, she was my spark in the dark! (Spark In the dark!)
Slipped through my fingers like a shot in the heart! (To the heart!)
If I’d found the courage, spoken truth from the start, (From the start!)
We could’ve been forever, not tearin’ apart!
Oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! What could have been
Oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! What could have been

Spark in the dark

Blinding Neon
