(Intro)
Yeah uh huh turn the light on I remember when the studio didn’t have lights now the shit got lights Tom on the boards that was cool
(Verse)
Stressed dwelling on my first home purchase
Wrote my will the other day I don’t have heirs
Thinking is my work worthless
Too self observant
Because I lost my confidence last year, chase alluded lover was a burden
Moody when I saw myself
I knew I saw someone different
Became insecure when I started losing trinkets
I wasn’t being regal, crumb snatching like a seagull
Cracked my tooth on a bagel diet, pain was lethal
Just to budget for the studio
Elevator lift my spirit , operator said he wanna hear me
The owner Fab told me bout his views on The Grammy’s
He said focus on the record every nook and cranny
You might not get rewarded for a great recording
A lot of times he leaves out just to see his daughter
And made me think, contemplating to myself
Is recognition my why or is it something else
(Chorus)
They say sing a sad song cause the people moody
What happens when you happy and don’t wanna do it
They said he fell off, want the old you back
First impressions everlasting but go fast
I can’t get this song out my head
I don’t want roses when I’m dead
I wanna help you get outta bed
I just make music with the legs
(Verse)
Now when you hear a song, you don’t hear the artist
Only brands, or getting drunk where the art went
Where your heart at
They hear you crying, What you sobbing for
Living for, perish for Tell-’em what you famous for
Texting an album critic I’m a hippocratic
1 song can make you rich , I’d rather be definitive
Bow out and have a kid do things I wish I did
Do things my father didn’t
I ain’t focused on women push a family to England
Product of that love
I can count on my hands all of my mother’s hugs
Nowadays I’m numb
Getting calls about her close calls
Still I pray she don’t doze off
Content with who I am lust who I’m becoming
Before I rapped slick now I’m saying something
Exposing my disappointments, creating my own anointment
Cause when you love the process it’s makes the moments moisten
(Chorus)
They say sing a sad song cause the people moody
What happens when you happy and don’t wanna do it
They said he fell off, want the old you back
First impressions everlasting but go fast
I can’t get this song out my head
I don’t want roses when I’m dead
I wanna help you get outta bed
I just make music with the legs
They say sing a sad song cause the people moody
What happens when you happy and don’t wanna do it
They said he fell off, want the old you back
First impressions everlasting but go fast
I can’t get this song out my head
I don’t want roses when I’m dead
I wanna help you get outta bed
I just make music with the legs
Moody was written by J.Mitchell & L.Smith.
Moody was produced by Cobeau.
Drake, Cobeau kept talking about she made a Drake sounding beat so I started listening to Fear by Drake: where he speaks on success before he actually acquired it. Sounded very relatable.
The beat was talking to me and I wanted to speak on exactly what was on my mind. Life. I wrote my Will the week before so life was all I was thinking about
In the studio I had Cobeau on speaker phone listening to the takes because of Covid she couldn’t travel to New York City. I remember after a few suggestions we captured the take I needed for the end of the song
Success can make you feel moody
