I wrote this song as an ode to myself and my listeners to keep pushing towards our dreams, whatever they may be. This song was written heavily with my parents in mind, bless their hearts. I love making music, but I also want to see my parents finally have a smile on their face, so I’ll keep pushing...
[Intro]
I'm the type of dude
Who ain't jealous
I'm the type of mood
Who ain't reckless
I'm the type to move
Without moving
I'm chillin'
[Chorus]
Cause there's no need to go out tonight
No not tonight
I got catching up
While you dancing in the night
No not tonight
Everybody's calling
But I'm keeping airplane mode, unlocking
Not tonight
No not tonight
I got catching up
While you dancing in the night
No not tonight
Everybody's calling
But I'm keeping airplane mode, my darling
[Verse]
Oh yeah
I'm a keeper, I'm keeping up with all of my demons
I'm a seeker, I'm seeping into all of the regions
Seasons change, people sway to rearrange
I think it's strange, how we all live in this day and age
Say and spray some things like, I don't like you
You just sit at home but you ain't partying like I do
I'm sorry, I got a father, that is fighting
So I can have a place to stay, a home that is righteous
I stress for the day when mommas napping
My quest is to make my poppa happy
That's why I ain't going out tonight no
Good bye until the morning light shows
Writing rhymes puffing strong with biting anxiety
I can't live a life, where we just lose in society
Fight in every song till I'm making it or breakout
That's why...
[Chorus]
There's no need to go out tonight
No not tonight
I got catching up
While you dancing in the night
No not tonight
Everybody's calling
But I'm keeping airplane mode, unlocking
Not tonight
No not tonight
I got catching up
While you dancing in the night
No not tonight
Everybody's calling
But I'm keeping airplane mode, my darling
Oh yeah
[Outro]
I've been working so hard
My time will come
Until then, I need to make sure that they don't end
Don't stop momma
Don't drop poppa
Cause Ima make sure we're living
A life that we've always envisioned
