about

Produced by my good friend Mocky Recordings, as a remix originally that was so good we just needed it to be the original. The hook is written in a circle, and it was one of the first songs Alex Isley and I worked on, I couldn't believe words could sound so good till Alex sang them. On the flip side, it's a beautiful sounding song written about the need to break up or set your lover free. Ironically my sister played it at her wedding, I smiled and nodded and felt really honored but also like hmmmm have you listened to the chorus? This whole album is full of ugly truths thrown on beautiful canvas'. Love can be such a delicate dance, this just happens to be a breakup song you can samba to.

lyrics

[Verse i ] :
Is it really too late?
it aint safe
like villain who wastes
no time
just shoots no blanks wont wait
4 thee hero 2 sayyyy

wait

till our very first date
when time moved fast
@ a very slow pace
she makes me feel dumb
in a really smart way
she's the sun
in a really cold place
headstart in a really long race
bookmarked on a really cool page
or a really good line in a really bad play
now thats a really cold game
like trying 2 fit thee sky on a really small plane

when it really is real
then it really aint fake
when you’re really in love
means really insane

[Hook] :
fine
i will leave
so find
what you need
love so blind
I can't see
all i know is that you're …..

[Bridge Verse] :
we can play house music @ my house stupid
that's what she said me
that's what she said me
paint thee town red w/ me

[Post Verse] :
your my holiday
your my right away
your my right on time
never 2 late
nev never 2 late
I don't know where you are tonight
you feel 2 far tonight
out of this world where a car can't ride
I'll just wait here
for you .....

[Hook//Outro .]

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
