Verse 1:
In the groove of the night our love ignites
Funkadelic rhythms city lights
With every beat our spirits rise
In the funky dance we feel alive

Chorus:
From the funky bass to the soulful horn
In every riff our love is born
In the rhythm of funk our hearts entwine
In this groove our love will shine

Na na na (x4)

Verse 2:
On the dance floor we move as one
In the funkadelic haze our journey begun
With every step our bodies sway
In the rhythm of funk we'll forever play

Chorus:
From the funky bass to the soulful horn
In every riff our love is born
In the rhythm of funk our hearts entwine
In this groove our love will shine

Na na na (x4)

Bridge:
In the funky vibes we find our thrill
In the groove of funk time stands still
With every chord our love grows strong
In the funky beat we'll dance along

Outro:
So let's keep groovin' in this funky vibe
In the rhythm of funk our love will thrive
For in the funkadelic groove we'll always find
In each other's arms our hearts aligned

Na na na (x4)

Heels hit the floor I feel it start
Bass in my chest steady and sharp
No explanations no excuse
I move the room just how I choose

Eyes follow motion not my name
I don’t repeat I don’t stay same

One step closer to the sound
I don’t wait I turn around

I’m on my own tempo
Don’t tell me when to go
I set it I control
Every move every role

I’m on my own tempo
Too fast too slow I know
I hit it right on time
Watch me cross the line

Disco strings rise
Bass keeps talking
Hands in the air
No words just timing

Mirrors shake when I pass through
Every angle feels brand new
No permission no delay
I decide how long I stay

Heat is building in the crowd
I don’t need to say it loud

Count it in feel it land
Everything is in my hands

I’m on my own tempo
Don’t tell me when to go
I set it I control
Every move every role

I’m on my own tempo
Too fast too slow I know
I hit it right on time
Watch me cro

Jacket on I leave it open
Streetlight glow my focus broken
Every sound pulls me in
I don’t ask where we’ve been

I don’t read the signs twice
I move once that’s my advice

If it feels right I don’t slow down
I let the night spin me around

No tomorrow needed
Say it again I mean it (mean it)
No tomorrow needed
I don’t pause I don’t overthink it (no no)

No tomorrow needed
Feel it hit me feel it beat me (beat me)
No tomorrow needed
If I’m in it I’m in it (yeah)

Every step is calculated
Still it looks so effortless
I don’t wait to be invited
I arrive I don’t impress

Crowd reacts I don’t chase
I just take up space

Hear my name inside the bass
I don’t rush I keep my pace

Yeah
She don’t plan it she appear
Whole room shift when she near
No tomorrow in her mind
Only now perfect time

She don’t promise she decide
Every move amplified
I’m just watching from the side
Tryna keep up with her stride

No delay no rewind
She already crossed the line
When she move place complies
That’s the signal that’s the sign

No tomorrow needed
Say it again I mean it (mean it)
No tomorrow needed
I don’t pause I don’t overthink it (no no)

No tomorrow needed
Feel it hit me feel it beat me (beat me)
No tomorrow needed
If I’m in it I’m in it (yeah)

No tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Needed (needed)
No tomorrow (no tomorrow)
I don’t need it (don’t need it)

No tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Needed (needed)
If I want it (if I want it)
I’m in it (I’m in it)

Uno viene dal porto
Uno scende dal tram
Una ride da sola
Uno non sa dove va

Ma il tamburo li chiama
Senza chiedere chi sei
Questa sera la strada
Ha più nomi di noi

C’è chi arriva con tre parole
Chi ne porta tremila
Chi cucina sopra un balcone
Chi ripara una bicicletta

C’è una radio dietro una porta
Che trasmette da chissà dove
Una nonna detta la danza
A una banda di ventenni

Il tassista perde il turno
Per seguire quel contrabbasso
Un bambino batte il tempo
Con due cucchiai sopra un piatto

Nessun palco nessun padrone
Nessun posto riservato
Quando il ritmo prende la piazza
Ogni nome viene chiamato

Vieni qua
Non serve sapere perché
Vieni qua
Porta soltanto quello che c’è

Questo è il punto più vivo
Dove tutto fa tum tum
Dove il nord incontra il sud
E nessuno resta più

Questo è il punto più vivo
Mani in alto giù di nuovo
Se la terra gira ancora
Questa notte gira con noi

Tum tum gira con noi
Tum tum gira con noi
Ogni lingua cambia il suono
Ma il battito dice: noi

Una cuoca lascia il grembiule
Per un passo mezzo sbagliato
Un avvocato molto serio
Fa qualcosa mai studiato

Due turisti senza mappa
Hanno perso la prudenza
Una coppia che litigava
Ora balla la stessa frase

C’è chi viene per curiosare
Chi domani deve partire
Chi ha promesso “solo un minuto”
Ed è ancora qui alle tre

Non importa da quale tavolo
Da quale treno o quartiere
Siamo pezzi senza istruzioni
Che funzionano tutti insieme

Vieni qua
Non devi assomigliare a me
Vieni qua
Porta il tuo modo di stare in piedi

Questo è il punto più vivo
Dove tutto fa tum tum
Dove il nord incontra il sud
E nessuno resta più

Questo è il punto più vivo
Mani in alto giù di nuovo
Se la terra gira ancora
Questa notte gira con noi

Tum tum gira con noi
Tum tum gira con noi
Ogni lingua cambia il suono
Ma il battito dice: noi

Dimmi come batti il tempo
Con il palmo o con il mento
Con le scarpe sul cemento
Con un fiato preso al volo

Uno due — non basta ancora
Tre quattro — viene l’aurora
Cinque sei — cambia la storia
Sette miliardi nella stessa gola

Io dico: vicino
Tutti: più vicino

Io dico: più forte
Tutti: fino al mattino

Io dico: chi siamo?
Tutti: quelli che arrivano

Io dico: dove siamo?
Tutti: dove le cose cominciano

Questo è il punto più vivo
Dove tutto fa tum tum
Dove il nord incontra il sud
E nessuno resta più

Questo è il punto più vivo
Ogni passo trova il modo
Se la terra gira ancora
Questa notte gira con noi

Tum tum gira con noi
Tum tum gira con noi
Non c’è un centro sulla carta
Il centro siamo noi

Uno torna verso il porto
Uno aspetta ancora il tram
La mattina prende nota
Di chi non si fermerà

Tum tum
Il centro siamo noi
Tum tum
Il centro siamo noi

Yeah yeah (uh)
She said “don’t call me baby” — but she still does (haha)

We talk all night no conversation
texting hearts and provocation
You say we’re “friends” that’s decoration
but your eyes they want temptation

You pull me close then fade away
we play that game like every day
You say you’re done then you rewind —
girl you messin’ with my mind! (oh-oh)

It’s that complicated love (yeah-eh)
we fight then fall in touch (uh-huh)
You say “boy I’ve had enough” —
then you pull me back like “nah that’s us”
No rules no reason no trust —
just complicated love

You wear my hoodie like a trophy
tell your girls I’m “just low-key”
But when I’m gone you start the drama
post a quote like “boy karma”! (haha)

You say it’s done then hit my line
I pick you up — two hearts one crime
We never learn we just collide
we crash again enjoy the ride (skrrt-skrrt)

It’s that complicated love (yeah-eh)
we fight then fall in touch (uh-huh)
You say “boy I’ve had enough” —
then you pull me back like “nah that’s us”
No rules no reason no trust —
just complicated love

O-oh you like the chaos
you love the chase
We break the silence
then burn the space
One look we’re done — then do it again
girl this is fun till the bitter end

It’s that complicated love (uh!)
you hate me but it’s never rough
We talk we fight we make it up —
yeah that’s our kind of love
(oh-oh) Complicated love yeah

I left at seventeen before the bread was warm
took the blue suitcase nobody claimed
Mother stood polishing the same clean glass
Dad read the paper without turning a page

There was a woman’s name behind the pantry clock
written twice then crossed with a kitchen knife
I asked who she was
They asked why I was still awake

Huh

They said “You’ll understand when you’re older”
So I got older somewhere else

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Years later a stranger stopped me near the docks
said “You walk exactly like she did”
I laughed and asked “Who?”
She looked at me as though I’d made a joke

Then she handed me a photograph:
my father younger one hand out of frame
and a girl with my uneven teeth
wearing the blue suitcase name tag

Huh Small world
Terrible handwriting

She said “Your mother tried her best”
I said “Which one?”

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Maybe I was kept
Maybe I was traded
Maybe love gets very polite
when the truth is complicated

I never asked again

That keeps them nervous

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them polish every answer
I know where the story fails

I was gone gone gone—
huh they still insist I’m wild
I didn’t leave because I hated them
I left as someone else’s child

You and I we soar
Hearts entwined evermore
Through the storm we'll stride
Love's embrace our guide
Eternal flame inside

Together strong we stand
Hand in hand we'll expand
In your eyes I see
Destiny it's free
Our love infinity

Through the night we'll roam
Finding home not alone
Whispers soft like breeze
Through the trees our ease
Love's symphony please

You and I as one
Under sun we've spun
Boundless love we share
Everywhere in air
Forever we dare

You and I forever
Endless love endeavor
Through the years we'll fly
Side by side you and I

Soft beats on the floor and the day feels new
I catch your rhythm every time you move

You walk in calm but you shift my space
Simple energy but it hits with grace
Nothing overwhelming nothing too loud
Just a quiet feeling I can’t tune out

You make the moment slow
You let the tension go
I don’t need much to know
You’re the place I follow

I’m steady with you
Everything falls into view
No rush no cue
Just a peace I drift into
I’m steady with you
Colors turn warm on cue
Feels easy feels true
Every time I stand with you

You bring a calm into the air I breathe
Something in your presence makes me feel released
I don’t wanna label what I can’t define
But there’s something simple sitting in your line

You make the moment slow
You let the tension go
I don’t need much to know
You’re the place I follow

I’m steady with you
Everything falls into view
No rush no cue
Just a peace I drift into
I’m steady with you
Colors turn warm on cue
Feels easy feels true
Every time I stand with you

If the day gets heavy I know what to do
I breathe in slow and I think of you

(Verse 1)
In the outskirts of the town where shadows loom tall
Ali walks with dreams though the odds seem to fall
From humble beginnings his spirit stands tall
In the midst of adversity he answers the call

(Chorus)
Hope in his eyes like a beacon in the night
Ali's story unfolds in the dimming light
Through trials and tribulations he finds his way
In the corner of the neighborhood where hope holds sway

(Verse 2)
With each passing day he carves his own path
Facing struggles head-on never fearing the wrath
From the dusty streets to the stars above
Ali's determination shines a testament of love

(Chorus)
Hope in his eyes like a beacon in the night
Ali's story unfolds in the dimming light
Through trials and tribulations he finds his way
In the corner of the neighborhood where hope holds sway

(Bridge)
Through laughter and tears he perseveres
Building castles of dreams conquering fears
For in his heart there burns a fire
A relentless drive to reach higher and higher

(Chorus)
Hope in his eyes like a beacon in the night
Ali's story unfolds in the dimming light
Through trials and tribulations he finds his way
In the corner of the neighborhood where hope holds sway

(Outro)
So let his tale be heard far and wide
Of a boy from the outskirts with hope as his guide
For in the darkest of nights he found his ray
In the kenar mahalle where dreams find their way

In the maze we’re lost we find
Heartbeats echo through the grind
Your touch a map to my soul
In your arms I lose control

Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
We spin we twirl we flow yeah
Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
Adrift but never slow oh

City lights they fade away
In our world we drift and sway
Mysteries in every kiss
In this dance we find our bliss

Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
We spin we twirl we flow yeah
Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
Adrift but never slow oh

Every step we take a spark
Every glance lights up the dark
Through the highs and all the lows
In love’s maze we always know

Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
We spin we twirl we flow yeah
Oh oh oh love’s labyrinth oh oh
Adrift but never slow oh

Yah man mi wake up wid di sun pon mi face
One cup a tea an’ a likkle embrace
No rush no run we tek tings slow
Peace inna di heart mek di good vibes flow

Call up di crew from down di lane
Laugh and chat no room fi pain
Every likkle yout’ every likkle gyal
We jam together like one big pal

Dance fi di love move fi di light
Raise up ya hand if ya feelin’ right
No need fi gun we a blaze di tune
Singin’ fi peace under di mango moon

Bredda sistren bring ya soul
One riddim mek di broken whole
Shake off di stress fling ‘way di fear
Jah voice a whisperin’ inna we ear

Skank pon di corner joy in di beat
Barefoot jammin’ in di midday heat
Tell Babylon: we nah go low
We buildin’ love like a riverside flow

[Outro - Spoken Word Style]
So light up di hope let it blaze like fire
One world one song one higher desire
Peace nuh just a dream it a ting we live
With every dance step we learn fi forgive

Uuuh
Aaaa
I had the chalk I had the board
Thought I knew what I was fighting for

I mapped it out like a perfect line
Variables dancing in my mind
Tried to graph where you might be
But love don’t fit no geometry

Slopes and curves they lied to me
No formula for what you see
You’re that value off the grid
And I solved what no one ever did

Every X I tried to crack
Led me closer no way back
Thought I had it all misread
But you were waiting up ahead

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To get one inch closer to Y (uh-huh)
I carried numbers like they were names
Till the moment you met my eye (ooooh)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
But now your logic redefines (yeaaah)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh uuh — that single Y)
(Aaah all those Xs I tried)

Circle back erase the trace
You’re the answer that now holds its place
I tried dividing all the pain
But you were constant in the rain

Was it sine or just a sign?
You curved in at the perfect time
I drew a heart inside the square
And this time you were really there

I factored in the nights alone
Calculated love unknown
But this equation found its truth
When all the numbers pointed to you

I reduced and simplified
You multiplied what’s deep inside
Left the questions in the dust
Now the formula is us

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To find the one and only Y (yeah yeah)
I carried numbers like they were names
But you gave meaning to the why (no no)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
Now it all aligns no need to lie (uh-huh)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh that final Y)
(Aaaah no more Xs I…)

Maybe you were undefined
In the limits of my mind
An asymptote I chased in vain
Till you stood right in the frame

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To stand here holding onto Y
I carried numbers like they were weights
But now the answer meets the sky
The signs were loud the tries were wild
But now I see the reason why
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to know that Y was you

(Uuh you’re my Y)
(Aaaah it’s always been you)

So I drop the pen the work is done
You were the proof the only one
No more math no more try
You’re my answer — you’re my Y
