Verse 1
Exactly what I wanted a perfect delight
Hitting the spot feeling so right
A moment of pure bliss a feeling so grand
Hitting the spot now I understand

Chorus
Hit the spot a feeling so rare
A perfect moment beyond compare
A sense of satisfaction a feeling so grand
Hitting the spot now I understand

Verse 2
Like the first sip of coffee on a cold grey day
Or the right words when you don’t know what to say
It’s the rhythm of life in a single beat
Hitting the spot making it complete

Pre-Chorus
It’s the magic of timing the thrill of the game
When everything clicks it’s never the same
Chasing the high that you’ll never forget
Hitting the spot no regrets

Chorus
Hit the spot a feeling so rare
A perfect moment beyond compare
A sense of satisfaction a feeling so grand
Hitting the spot now I understand

Bridge
Every now and then the stars align
A spark of joy in a moment so divine
Hold on tight let the feeling stay
Hitting the spot in every way

Rap Section
Yeah it’s the vibe it’s the groove it’s the flow
The perfect strike like a pro
Right place right time on the dot
Feeling so good yeah I hit the spot
No second-guessing no looking back
Got that energy on the right track
When the moment’s just right you know what you got
Yeah I’m living the dream—I hit the spot

Chorus
Hit the spot a feeling so rare
A perfect moment beyond compare
A sense of satisfaction a feeling so grand
Hitting the spot now I understand

Outro
When the stars align and the world feels whole
It’s a rhythm that resonates deep in your soul
Hitting the spot it’s a moment divine
The perfect place the perfect time

Verse 1
I see the world through your eyes so clear
Every heartbeat’s louder when you’re near
Caught in your orbit lost in your glow
Wrapped up in you wherever we go

WRAPPED UP IN YOU 
Can’t break away
You’re the night the stars and the light of day
Every thought every move it’s all for you
I’m wrapped up 
WRAPPED UP IN YOU

Your touch is the flame that melts my fear
Every word you say I long to hear
You’re the melody that plays in my soul
WRAPPED UP IN YOU
You make me whole

Pre-Chorus
Every moment feels like a dream
A perfect rhythm a flawless theme
Your love’s the tether the bond so tight
WRAPPED UP IN YOU it feels so right

Chorus
WRAPPED UP IN YOU 
Can’t break away
You’re the night the stars and the light of day
Every thought every move it’s all for you
I’m wrapped up 
WRAPPED UP IN YOU

It’s in the way you smile the way you care
A love so deep nothing compares
No words are enough no distance too far
You’re my home my heart my north star

Rap Section
Yeah you’re the beat in my chest the air I breathe
The only one I’ll ever need
Caught in your vibe can’t escape your charm
You’re my safe place my calm in the storm
Every moment’s a blessing every look’s a cue
No denying it I’m WRAPPED UP IN YOU

WRAPPED UP IN YOU 
Can’t break away
You’re the night the stars and the light of day
Every thought every move it’s all for you
I’m wrapped up 
WRAPPED UP IN YOU

Every thread of my soul is tied to your heart
A connection so deep it’ll never fall apart
Wrapped up in you my forever my truth
There’s no place I’d rather be than

Verse 1
Focused concentrated 
In a state of grace
In the zone 
At my own pace
Effortless flow 
A beautiful blend
In the zone 
'til the very end

Chorus
IN THE ZONE
A state of pure bliss
Lost in the moment 
A peaceful kiss
Tranquility 
A feeling so grand
IN THE ZONE 
I understand
IN THE ZONE

Verse 2
Eyes on the prize 
I’m ready to play
Sweat on my brow 
I’m seizing the day
Every pass every move 
Sharp and precise
IN THE ZONE 
Rolling the dice

Pre-Chorus
One goal in mind 
One heartbeat in sync
No time to falter 
No time to think
A rhythm so perfect 
A beat so divine
IN THE ZONE 
I’m crossing the line

Chorus
IN THE ZONE
A state of pure bliss
Lost in the moment 
A peaceful kiss
Tranquility 
A feeling so grand
IN THE ZONE 
I understand
IN THE ZONE

Bridge
The stadium roars 
The lights are bright
Every second counts 
It’s time to fight
Adrenaline’s rush 
I’m on my own
This is my moment
This is the zone

[Solo]

Rap Section
On the field locked in no distraction
Every play’s a masterpiece pure satisfaction
Footwork tight strategy clear
Game face on I’m the one to fear
Pressure’s rising but I’m steady
Final shot always ready
Living the dream with a fire untamed
IN THE ZONE 
I’m rewriting the game

Chorus
IN THE ZONE
A state of pure bliss
Lost in the moment 
A peaceful kiss
Tranquility 
A feeling so grand
IN THE ZONE 
I understand
IN THE ZONE

Outro
The whistle blows 
The game is done
But the journey to glory 
Has just begun
Heart and soul 
It’s where I’ve grown
Forever living IN THE ZONE
IN THE ZONE
IN THE ZONE
I'M IN THE ZONE

IN THE ZONE

YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK

[Verse 1]
Out of trouble 
Free from blame
Off the hook 
Escaping the game
No longer in danger 
No longer in fear
OFF THE HOOK
The coast is clear

[Pre-Chorus]
Accused and tried 
You stood your ground
The truth revealed 
But you’re not around

[Chorus]
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Breathe a sigh of relief
No more worries
No more grief
Freedom restored
A sense of ease
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Finally at peace

[Verse 2]
The weight is gone 
The chains undone
A battle fought 
Yet the war was won
But only in silence 
Only in rest
OFF THE HOOK
At your final best

[Pre-Chorus]
Accused and tried 
You stood your ground
The truth revealed 
But you’re not around

[Chorus]
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Breathe a sigh of relief
No more worries
No more grief
Freedom restored
A sense of ease
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Finally at peace

[Bridge]
The justice we seek 
Often comes too late
Vindication arrives 
At the hands of fate
They see it now 
But the cost was steep
OFF THE HOOK
But in eternal sleep

[Rap Section]
Held the blame 
Wore the shame
Carried the weight 
Their misplaced claim
Truth comes slow 
Like a creeping tide
Only when you’re gone 
Do they set it aside
Your name now cleared 
But you’re not there
To witness the freedom 
You’d always bear

[Chorus]
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Breathe a sigh of relief
No more worries
No more grief
Freedom restored
A sense of ease
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Finally at peace

[Outro]
Now they know 
But it’s too late
OFF THE HOOK 
Sealed by fate
Your story ends 
But your truth survives
OFF THE HOOK now
In eternal skies
OFF THE HOOK
YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
Now they know 
But it’s too late
OFF THE HOOK 
Sealed by fate
Your story ends 
But your truth survives
OFF THE HOOK now
In eternal skies
OFF THE HOOK


YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK
