[Intro: Nardean]
(That's the mood)
(That's the mood)
My mom said to me, "You know, sweetheart, one day you should sit down and marry a rich man"
And I said, "Mom, I am a rich man"
(That's the mood)
(That's the mood)
Uh-huh
[Verse 1: Nardean]
CEO, prefer my own company, yeah
I wanna be alone but they can't get enough of me
(Can't get enough of me)
I got targets, arches to build
Energy like an arrow, never shoot left of field
It;s not a race, I'm not tryin' to win
But if you're not clued up, I'm not lettin' you in
Took a minute for me to learn
Had to put my hand in the flames to know that it burns
Gave him energy, he didn't give it back
The interview went well, but the stats don't track
Oh, tread with caution
If he speak so gorgeous (Gorgeous)
If he speak like water
But the soil so dry like he in a drought
Before the market crash, get your stocks out
[Pre-Chorus: Nardean]
Told you you to leave
Come get your shit
I don't like wastin' time
So you better make it quick
[Chorus: Nardean]
I make plans, then I execute (Execute)
I drip gold, you know that's the mood (That's the mood)
I always know what to do
And it does not include you
Even though I want it to
Plans, gotta execute (Execute)
But I can't, lyin' next to you (Next to you)
Could've done this side by side
But you did not ride
So I'm tellin' you goodbye
[Verse 2: Chelsea Warner]
CFO but I only invest in me, yeah
Flyin' colours 'cause you been testin' me, ooh
I didn't wanna be estranged
But you're still in the same damn place
And there's only so many times we can talk it out
Until I realise that you're holdin' me down
Took a minute for me to see
Had to pierce my own damn skin to know that I bleed
'Cause I gave you energy, you didn't meet me there
And even though you said you did, I know you didn't care
And the cream will always rise to the top (Oh)
Every day makin' a to do list, crossin' shit off (Oh)
Yeah, it used to include you, but now you lost your spot
But it's all love, while I level up
[Pre-Chorus: Nardean]
Told you you to leave
Come get your shit
I don't like wastin' time
So you better make it quick, uh
[Chorus: Nardean, Chelsea Warner, Nardean & Chelsea Warner]
I make plans, then I execute (Execute)
I drip gold, you know that's the mood (That's the mood)
I always know what to do
And it does not include you
Even though I want it to
Plans, gotta execute (Execute)
But I can't, lyin' next to you (Next to you)
Could've done this side by side
But you did not ride
So I'm tellin' you goodbye
I make plans, then I execute (Execute)
I drip gold, you know that's the mood (That's the mood)
I always know what to do
And it does not include you
Even though I want it to, yeah-yeah
Plans, gotta execute (Execute)
But I can't, lyin' next to you (Next to you, oh)
Could've done this side by side
But you did not ride
So I'm tellin' you goodbye
[Outro: Nardean]
So I'm tellin' you goodbye
I know the whole time, I execute

Nardean:
I wrote this song at a time when I needed to leave behind a toxic relationship. I did care for the person, but they were dragging me down. My music is everything to me, and as soon as I realised that they were standing in the way of me executing my vision, I had to move on. I wanted to wri...
Nardean:
Chelsea and I met at an all-female/non-binary writing camp called Ricochet, organised by KLP. The camps were life-changing. It really opened my eyes to the vast amount of female talent we have in Australia. Chelsea and I organised our own session a few weeks after the camp and wrote Execut...
