Verse
I was posed to hit the gym today but I skipped (damn)
I was posed to chill and take that called that I missed (damn)
My air conditioning isn’t conditioning shit (and)
Fuck I told myself that I would go get it fixed (man)

Why is it so hard for me to stick to the script, plans
Never fall the way I that expect em to— this is my issue
I’ma master procrastinator, I’ma finish it later and it sucks when you realize the problem is you

Now my goal is to be more 
Not only me for
My queen or
Whoever need me more
By actions, I lead more
I speak for
Those who grit teeth and coast life like seashore

See I see more for your future than you might for you
Double O-T-U
The universe is you
This the universal truth

I can only plant seeds but you must water the roots
I wish I knew this as a teen so now I water youth

Hook
My bank account ain’t lit but I make it okay
“I could be doing worse”, that’s just something we say
The internets a lie, got you thinking you late
I know who I am but I ain’t shit today

I mean the family good, so I’m happy they straight
If everything was written fuck is up wit this page?
Can I rewrite?
Knowing that I can’t rewind time
But if I study my past I can manipulate space

Verse Two
Who’s that peeping in my window? uh
The morning sun extra wit the intro, uh
Another missed called from my kinfolk, uh
Sorry I ain’t ignore you I’m just working on my mental

Oh pardon me cousin I’m in limbo, uh
Thinking to myself ‘why can’t it be more simple’, uh
I used to say fuck money so money said fuck me
I never knew that God would take my words so literal 

Aye this beat here remind me of my skin tone
Aye this beat got soul where’s Brother Kendall?
Brother Vines (Brother PAC) man this shit so
Man this shit so smooth I needa hear you riff, go

Kendall Vines (riff)

Bridge
I was posed to hit the gym today but I skipped (damn)
I was posed to chill and take that called that I missed (damn)
My air conditioning isn’t conditioning shit (and)
Fuck I told myself that I would go get it fixed (man)

Why is it so hard for me to stick to the script, plans
Never fall the way I that expect em to— this is my issue
I’ma master procrastinator, I’ma finish it later and it sucks when you realize the problem is you

Verse Three
Niggas don’t take accountability no more, or
Did they ever really? Oh no bitches don’t either
But as a man I can only speak for what I am
And if she can’t do the same I’ma know it when I meet her

I now better understand where I went wrong
How I could’ve worded shit, I wish life was a song
I wish I learned things sooner, wish my pops taught more
But I know better now so fuck what happened before

I learned a lot through my relationship, facts
Who I am, who I wanna be— both em PAC
There’s a thin line between growth and tryna change
I love who I am but I ain’t shit today 

Hey, wait
Long as I got my people I’m straight
I try to eat organic, meditate and lift weights 
I try to live a sober life but nigga I can’t 
I’m fucked, I’m stuck, all I do is overthink

Earlier this year, Mirror Ball Recordings proudly presented Chantay Savage’s soulful single, ‘Still’, a stunning collaboration with Julius Jordan (Terry Hunter and James Poyser).

Now, we unveil a brilliant new set of remixes from one of house music’s rising stars, Masaki Morii.

Chantay Savage is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and producer known for her smooth vocals and timeless soul. Rising to fame in the 1990s, she made waves with her 1996 hit "I Will Survive", a stripped-down, heartfelt reinterpretation of Gloria Gaynor’s disco classic that topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. Her debut album, Here We Go… (1993), introduced her as a fresh voice in R&B, blending new jack swing with jazz-infused grooves. She continued her success with albums like I Will Survive (1996) and This Time (1999), collaborating with industry heavyweights such as Common, Mary J. Blige, and TLC.

Masaki Morii is a celebrated Japanese house music producer, revered for his deep, soulful grooves and impeccable production style. With a sound rooted in classic house, gospel, and jazz influences, his tracks have gained international recognition, landing on top underground labels and DJ playlists worldwide. Consistently delivering uplifting and rhythmically rich productions, Morii continues to shape the sound of the global soulful house scene.
