Examples of Songbay Artists

V1
They circle around me,
a dance of particulate matter -
solid and comfortable,
an easy symphony of like-minded interaction.
CHORUS
I am like the gaps between raindrops,
I occupy the spaces-between -
tolerated but not understood.
I am an unpopular electric eel in a bowl of goldfish.

All day
All day
All day
I stand in front of this door
That wont open up his gate
I am mad
I am pissed
Where is motherfxxxing faith
When I need it
Whats this motherfxxxing place
See Me

Verse 1:
Love, I think I want you
Like I want chocolate
Give me the sweetest taste
Just to be sure
Verse 2:
Love, give me the sweetest taste
Chocolate melting in my mouth
Smooth and sweet in slow time

Colours Minds – (Dance Genre) by Charles K. Wright
Verse
Colours and the minds
Those who we knew
Changed with time
Once strong together
Now distance apart
New friends
Families
Trends
Gone is what we had
. . .

Sittin a spell around a cracklin nighttime fire
We locked eyes n you knocked me out with that smile
Breathin fresh country air in our lungs
Unspoken words, girl you tie my tongue
You are the lass for me
Raisin up a mess of young'uns is what I see
I want this lil woman by my side
I'm done looking for my small town bride
Confidence, drive, and inner beauty
This sweet country thang is by definition a cutie
Watchin you sweat gettin your hands dirty

I've seen this film before, it's a classic
Things that I said rewound in my head then at the end of the flick
She looked into my eyes, said wait for the sequel
There may be some hype but to me it's never the same as the original
It's the end
Fade to black, she is gone
And ain't coming back, she ain't coming back
It was just a quick short, so I went for the crown
A tragic comedy of errors followed and now my world's turned upside down
It all started so golden; The Academy?
But it had no direction and couldn't produce, 'cept maybe a Razzie
. . .

Chorus

I wanted a fun upbeat song about relationships
V1
I’m tired of waiting for you to grow up
Men over thirty should stop acting like kids
You’re out with your boys every night
And telling me how much you love me every day
I ‘m trying hard to believe you
If I were one of your games maybe I’d get some play
. . .

I'm drifting off the earth,
my tether has been lost;
now that you're gone,
I only feel the cost...
You helped me keep it real,
to navigate this world;
now everything is strange,
I'm still a little thrown...
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh... oh, oh, oh,
drifting, drifting, drifting,
. . .

As I sit here waiting for the sun to rise. I look around me. I see mountains, the ocean the birds and the magnificence of the sky and all the colors it holds. I am in awe of the beauty and what God has created. I am so grateful for the beauty I see. I feel more connected connected to him and you now. I am not sitting far from where you are now lying in bed and getting ready to start your day. Is it my location or because my heart is with you.
Right now, it’s hard to distinguish which of God’s creation I am more in awe of the beauty that surrounds us. I look toward the sun my eyes are drawn to one mountain peak. Nothing else holds my gaze like that peak does.
Just like yesterday when I walked down the aisle at the store. You caught my eye and I couldn’t look away. As I walked toward you everything and everyone ceases to exist. I felt my heart jump and I couldn’t look away. Your beauty held my gaze you and your smile. You have no idea how beautiful you are. Will you ever really know how much I feel for you? I try to articulate all of my emotions but the words always fall short of what I am trying to convey.
I look away from the paper and my mind begins to drift.
In my daydream you and I are all alone where I sit now. Lying together in the bed of a truck beneath the sheets on a feather bed. Looking down the channel at the beautiful sunrise made for us to share nothing exists beyond you and me and the sunrise. The flowing breeze blowing across the sheets covering our naked bodies. We don’t say a word. There are none needed. We just lay in each other’s arms appreciating what God had given us. Each other and the beauty that surrounds us. As the sun becomes whole over the mountains and our day begins. You kiss me and we make love. The beauty of the vision in my minds eye is just as beautiful as the rising sun.
Again, I wonder whict of God’s creations I admire the most. The choice is obvious. Only you can make this happy, content and so in Love that I am able to see and truly appreciate the beauty of the sunrise. Before loving you nothing was as beautiful, nothing so awesome, nothing to be so cherished.
Not until you loved me could I appreciate the beauty that God has given to me. Your smile and the beauty of the sunrise.
Baby as sure as the sun rises everyday my love for you will shine just as bright as the sun does. There may be clouds in our future but I promise everyday you will know my love for you will shine through.
