Respect

Brave Enough to Try

[Verse 1]
Ain’t no stars tonight
Just a cigarette glow
Dashboard hummin’ low
And a name I don’t say no more

[Verse 2]
Left the keys in the door
Left the truth in the rain
A man can lie ‘til he don’t feel shame
But silence still knows your name

[Chorus]
It’s a cold black road
And it don’t forgive
No signs, no grace
Just the way I live
If I make it home
Before I fold
I’ll tell you the things
I should’ve told

[Verse 3]
I got ghosts in the rearview
Whiskey in the tank
I was someone once
But I drove off the plank

[Chorus]
It’s a cold black road
And it don’t forget
The promises made
And the ones you regret
If I make it through
Without goin’ numb
Maybe I’ll be more
Than what I run from

[Bridge]
You ever stare down a song…
And know it’s about you
But you’re the one who wrote it
Just tryin’ to get through

[Final Chorus]
It’s a cold black road
And I drive it slow
No maps, no prayers
Just the radio
If I make it back
To where you wait
Leave the porch light on—
I’ll take the blame

Cold Black Road

Shadows of the Streets (2)

A powerful blues and soul track dripping with sensuality and confidence, The vocals are rich, gritty, and unapologetically bold — delivering each line with fiery passion and raw emotional control, The instrumentation features walking basslines, swinging drums, soulful horns, and bluesy guitar licks, all locked into a steamy mid-tempo groove, The performance balances seductive charm with vocal power, channeling both vintage blues club grit and timeless soul swagger, The mood is electric, flirtatious, and fiercely self-assured — a declaration of desire wrapped in rhythm and attitude

Love Is My... ft. Rita More

Honey, My Mercy’s in Short Supply

Verse 1
You came knockin’ with that same old plea,
Tears on your tongue, but they don’t fool me.
I’m not the saint you think I’ll be tonight,
I’ll take your sin, but I won’t play nice.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t mistake my kiss for a lullaby,
Every touch I give comes with a price.

Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
You want redemption, baby, don’t look mine,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Verse 2
You call it love, but it feels like debt,
Every promise you made still drippin’ wet.
I don’t forgive, no, I just enjoy,
Breaking your heart like it’s my favorite toy.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t mistake my smile for sympathy,
Every tear you shed just belongs to me.

Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
You want salvation, baby, stand in line,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Bridge
I’ll give you one kiss, two drinks, three sins,
By the time you crawl, I’ll be gone again.
Don’t pray for kindness, don’t beg me sweet,
I’m the devil you love at your holy feet.

Final Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
Your prayers don’t matter, I don’t oblige,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Outro (smoky ad-lib)
Short supply… short supply…
Mercy, baby, mercy runs dry.
