Earth, Wind, and Fire (Badiya Remix)

The Ring || Produced By THEMpeople

[Intro]
You know, I was, I was truly contemplating, yeah...
If we could persist on this vibe because…
This potent current holds immense sway, and it…
It makes me sense like a…
It, it makes me feel so… ah! 

[Verse 1]
I detest the tone you speak to me, and that wild style you wear,
Your frantic way you drive my vehicle, that lingering gaze I can't bear.
The scattered bits you leave behind, your tuneless humming, it grates on my mind,
Your constant chatter, your bizarre outlook, a riddle I can't unhook.
Your foot's annoying rhythm, when you're just not contemplating,
Your terrible melodies, a truly trying sound, makes my patience run aground.
Your uncanny way of being ever correct,
And the moments your honesty defects,
Your foolish fables and your slow replies when I call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate, not even near, not a little at all.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweetness stirs within my soul right now,
Warmth, inner spirit's growing now,
Essence is the pull, the truth (Oh, essence),
That makes this thing happen.
It questions not the reason, deep, ooh,
So pull near to my heart right now (Closer near),
Just hold me 'til you forget how, ooh.

[Chorus]
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.

[Verse 2]
Yo, fam, listen, yeah.
The heavy stomp of your clunky shoes, the way you read my thoughts, it’s outta line,
I despise you so deep, it makes me ill, even makes these verses fill.
Snatching my provisions, then declaring you had no other voice,
Your bright morning spirit, the volume of your sound, it echoes all around.
You leave the bright illumination lit, even when your presence quits the room,
Those peculiar tales you tell, they fill me with a silent, looming spell.
I hate when you provoke my laughter, even more when tears come after.
Those discarded garments resting where they land, a mess I can't withstand.
But truth be told, nah, I don't truly despise, not a single bit, no lies.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweetness stirs within my soul right now,
Warmth, inner spirit's growing now,
Essence is the pull, the truth (Oh, essence),
That makes this thing happen.
It questions not the reason, deep, ooh,
So pull near to my heart right now (Closer near),
Just hold me 'til you forget how, ooh.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Brush me, and my senses ignite,
Fam, there's nothing like deep affection's lure, true, ooh.
I'm softening like warm honey dew (I'm softening, ah),
Pure feeling (Ah, pure feeling), precious where we dwell, ooh.
So allow affection to guide our time,
I will not be regretting, ooh,
For this is deep connection's rhyme, ooh.

[Verse 3]
Sorrow's foe, we now disdain,
Boundless devotion lights my gaze, fam, true. (Oh, eternal)
So let affection lead us through the days, (Oh, let love)
I will not be objecting, yeah (No, nah)
For your presence is divine, oh, yes, ooh.
I hate your absence, and the quiet phone,
When you're not close, and I feel all alone.
But mostly, I love the fact I don't hate, not even close, not a fraction, not at all.

[Chorus]
(Yeah, don't stop!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Nah, just keep going).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Keep pushing, darling!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Feel that vibe, yeah!).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Don't play, fam!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Your heart's gonna find peace!).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Keep on, yeah!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Till you truly feel it, love!).

CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND - Episode_014: D'Angelo

Overload

Blam

DC's new song.  Remixed a little funkier.    Wife told me he had a new album out and stayed up late listening to this gorgeous album.  Set the the alarm to 5am the next morning and was fortunately able to spit a good chunk of this out before the kids woke up and demanded our attention.  Haven't had a chance to sit down and produce since before the little rugrats were hatched.
