"Nothing To Prove" By Pastor Mark Behr

„What Do You Say?“ ist ein lässiger, mitreißender Song über den Moment, in dem man einfach alles aufs Spiel setzen will – für einen Blick, ein Lächeln, ein spontanes Abenteuer zu zweit. Zwischen Kick und Unsicherheit, Leichtsinn und Sehnsucht fragt der Song mit einem Augenzwinkern: Warum nicht einfach loslaufen, ohne Plan, ohne Garantie? Die Musik ist direkt, charmant und voller Energie – wie ein Gespräch, das plötzlich alles verändert.


“What Do You Say?” is a playful, heartfelt song about taking a chance—on a glance, a spark, a maybe. It captures that electric moment when you throw caution to the wind and ask, “Why not?” With no promises and no guarantees, it’s all about diving in, just to see where the road leads. Upbeat, charming, and full of spirit, this track feels like a spontaneous late-night run with someone who just might change everything.

What do you say?


mind sharp like the rent due
I don’t chase, I just step through
vision is clear, never been new
I’ve been talkin’ to the dream (we been cool)
fridge stocked, long days, lungs full
nights off, bills paid, that’s pulling a manifestation like it’s casual
I say it, then live it... that’s actual
I don’t hustle from a place of lack
I move different when I know it’s fact
whole life changed from a notepad
just me, this beat, and the words I have


don’t need applause or a chart to climb
I’m already livin' it in the peace I find

I got "nothin' to prove", just somethin' to claim
speak it into truth, watch it light like a flame
this ain’t just a song, it's a doorway through
if you feelin this now, it’s comin' to you
so I got nothin' to prove, just somethin' to be
and the life I want’s already choosing me... 


passport tucked in the drawer
she by my side, feet on the floor
ain’t no mask, no game, no war
just calm in the chaos I chose to ignore
peace hits different when you build it slow
when the past can't shake you, you grow...
got time to give and miles to go
but I walk like I’m home everywhere I show
I ain’t waitin’ for the dream to land
I wrote it, I’m livin’ it hand by hand
played the long game, stuck to the plan
now the wins feel quiet.... that’s the brand


don’t need to be loud to feel alive
the real flex is in your peace of mind

I got "nothin' to prove", just somethin' to claim
speak it into truth, watch it light like a flame
this ain’t just a song, it's a doorway through
if you feelin this now, it’s comin' to you
so I got nothin' to prove, just somethin' to be
and the life I want’s already choosing me (me...) [echoes]


verses a spell, this hook is a seed
the beat is the soil, the faith is the speed
press play, let it loop, let the dream proceed
if you see it in your mind, you already in the lead....


I see it clearer with every line
the future’s in the present.... it's my time

I got "nothin' to prove", just somethin' to claim
every line drawn is just another step to take
this ain’t a track, it’s a contract to fight for what I choose
if you hearin this now, then it’s workin’ for you too
cause I got nothin' to prove, just somethin' to be
and the life I want’s already chosen me...

ATTENTION BANDS: I want to write and create demos for you! Everything is for sale - or - we can work together and release music as a collaboration. I am open to ALL paths to success.

follow me @nuabyss on all social media.

If you come across a track 'without vocals', I produced it. 

If you come across a track 'with vocals', I still produced it, then wrote to it, and then and only then do I take MY music and MY lyrics and run it through Suno AI. This allows me, a long time songwriter/producer, to create demos. I tag "demo" in most of the songs I post here.  This is because I want to sell these to bands/artists, and work with them until the song is complete.

The "Origin: Unknown" album was made this way, with lyrics I had written to beats I produced over 15 years. I did not want to publish music this way, but being 48 years old, I decided to take the risk in hopes to gain attention/exposure so I can write songs this way, using Suno AI to perfect them - but with the intention of helping another band/artist record the song themselves. 

IMPORTANT: I can recreate every single piece of music on this page, for any artists looking to collaborate. 

It's not that I am lazy, or untalented, yet quite the opposite. I have learned over the years how important it is to stay ahead in music technology, and how to use every single tool available to me to eliminate restrictions in my creative process.

The only song you will hear my voice on is "Last Hope".

Again... I've been writing poetry and song lyrics my entire life.  Reach out to your favorite artists. Tell them you found their next hit song. 

LFG.
