Mmm… yeah
Turn it up

Found your note between the bills folded twice
Three crooked letters never said it nice
Kitchen radio is drifting off-time
Wrong station playing but it suits the night

I dial your number — hear a click then air
Flashing digits on the stove just stare
Every heartbeat in my chest misaligns
Still I’m listening for a sign

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

City bus sighs at a midnight stop
Paperback angel at a corner shop
Borrowed coat hangs wide on my frame
Pockets full of change and a half-drawn name

Counting rail ties stepping over goodbyes
Copper on my tongue from unspoken replies
I hold my breath as if it might realign
What keeps crossing in my mind

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Maybe I’m a bent antenna in a storm I knew
Turn me just a single degree — I point back to you
If the signal fades and the bars go blind
Call me by the name you underlined

Line… line… static on the line
(Keep talking)
Line… line… static on the line

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Mmm… tune me in
Static on the line

Plastic rings and paper planes
Chasing stars with different names
Thought the world would stay so bright
Didn’t know we’d lose the light

Golden days they fade so fast
Running wild but it don’t last
Still I hear that distant call
Echoes bouncing off the walls

Back then we had fire in our eyes
Shooting high never questioning the sky
Didn’t see the cracks below
Now we’re dancing in the afterglow

Took a train to nowhere towns
Laughed so hard we spun around
Didn’t care what lay ahead
Now we chase what once was said

Golden days they fade so fast
Running wild but it don’t last
Still I hear that distant call
Echoes bouncing off the walls

Back then we had fire in our eyes
Shooting high never questioning the sky
Didn’t see the cracks below
Now we’re dancing in the afterglow

If I could touch the past somehow
I’d hold it tight I’d call it loud
But time don’t stop it moves right through
Leaves you chasing what you knew

Plastic rings and paper planes
Falling fast like summer rain
Close my eyes and see it all
A fading voice a childhood call

You sent a message
Then took it back
I saw enough there
Between each gap

No big confession
No perfect scene
Just two people
Out of routine

I kept my answer
Short and kind
Left all the reasons
Out of my mind

You wanted closure
Clean and small
I gave you nothing
You could call

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

You still look polished
From far away
Like all the damage
Had a clean face

I don’t feel bitter
I don’t feel small
I just feel ready
To want more

Some days are easy
Some days are not
But I don’t bargain
With what I lost

You had your version
I had mine too
Both can be real
And still be through

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

No more checking
If you regret it
No more waiting
For some clean edit

I don’t carry
What we ruined
I just keep moving
Like I’m used to it

You can keep
Your side of pain
I can keep
My new last name

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

Mm
I don’t need proof now
I just know

Never been so nervous
To open up my mouth
My heart was jumpin' hurdles
Thought I'd let you down

Never been so certain
As I am right now
The way you grabbed my waist
Pulled me close and spun me 'round

We were just a couple kids
Actin' like we were adults
Tryin' to act cool but the truth is
You always made me laugh when you told jokes
And now I'm finally bein' honest with you
It feels so good
And who knew?
So go and get the girls and the guys
And the beer on ice
And let's let the good times roll

Grew up in the same hometown
And never took a chance
But what goes around comes around
I guess that's how the story ends

We were just a couple kids
Actin' like we were adults
Tryin' to act cool but the truth is
You always made me laugh when you told jokes
And now I'm finally bein' honest with you
It feels so good
And who knew?
So go and get the girls and the guys
And the beer on ice
And let's let the good times roll
And now I'm finally bein' honest with you
It feels so good
And who knew?
So go and get the girls and the guys
And the beer on ice
And let's let the good times roll

And who knew? And who knew? And who knew?
And who knew? And who knew? And who knew?

I walk in sweet like candy on a late night street
Everybody turning just to get a little heat
You keep staring like you know my name
But the way you blush tells me everything
I move slow then I change the beat
Got you losing track of both your feet
You say you never fall that fast
Guess I just turned it up at last

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

You keep tripping on your words like a broken rhyme
Saying every little line for another try
You want rhythm so I bring the spark
Got you glowing like a city after dark
I tease slow then I shift the flow
Now you follow everywhere I go
Tell me how you planned your night
I can change it in a single bite

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

Sip a little moment slow it right down
Let me spin your world around
If you want another dose of the sound
Come close and I will take you now

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

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

Tick-tock tick-tock (uh)
Yeah… we don’t stop

Late night I’m still online
clock says no but I cross the line
Lost count drinks laughs replies
I’m just chasing digital highs

Oh seconds fade like smoke in light
but I don’t care if it’s wrong or right

We’re wasting time (yeah-yeah)
but it feels so fine (uh-huh)
No past no sign
just bodies in rhyme
We’re wasting time (oh-oh)
on a borrowed line
if this is crime
then lock me inside

Time time time
can’t rewind rewind rewind
Time time time
we don’t mind mind mind

Golden hour on replay
memories in 4K
You said “forever” cliché
but I still press “stay”

Every beat steals one more minute
don’t stop I’m living in it

We’re wasting time (yeah-yeah)
but it feels so fine (uh-huh)
No past no sign
just bodies in rhyme
We’re wasting time (oh-oh)
on a borrowed line
if this is crime
then lock me inside

Tick-tock tick-tock
can’t stop this clock
Na-na we’re divine
just wasting time

Prompt

Another one for Claire
Third one this week
I don’t know Claire
But apparently everyone else does

The first came from a dentist
The second from Marseille
Then a postcard with a bicycle
And nothing much to say

A catalogue from somewhere
A birthday card from June
Someone wrote I hope you finally
Did the thing you wanted to

I put them in a shoebox
Underneath the telephone
By October I knew Claire
Better than some people I had known

She buys books she never finishes
She owes somebody twenty-three
And someone named Luc keeps writing
Please call me when you’re free

Claire you’re getting mail again
Claire they think you still live here
Someone misses your handwriting
Someone thinks you disappeared

Claire I know it isn’t my business
But your life keeps coming through
In envelopes with my address
And every one belongs to you

Then Tuesday around seven
There was knocking at my door
A woman with a yellow umbrella
Said I think I lived here before

She looked at all the letters
Then laughed and covered her face
Said I left in such a hurry
I forgot to change the place

I handed her the shoebox
She sat down on the stairs
Said half of these I don’t want
You can keep the ones from Pierre

She took the dentist took Marseille
Left the birthday card with me
Then crossed out Luc’s old number
Said some people should stay history

Claire you got your mail again
Claire you finally came back here
Somebody kept your handwriting
Somebody knew you’d reappear

Claire it wasn’t any of my business
Still your life came passing through
In envelopes with my address
Till one Tuesday there was you

She left the umbrella
Took the box
Came back laughing
Twenty seconds later

I said Claire
You forget a lot

She said
That’s how I travel

Claire no more mail today
Claire no mystery to keep
Just an empty little shoebox
And the stairs beneath my feet

Claire I never knew your whole life
Only what the postman knew
Funny how a wrong address
Can introduce somebody to you

Thursday morning
One small envelope

My name this time

Lyrics

(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

Me no care what dem people say
Life too short we dance all day
Feet on fire we don’t stop now
Drum go boom make de rhythm loud

We rise up no fall down
From de dirt we wear de crown
Heartbeat strong we feel de vibe
Dis da way we come alive!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Moonlight shine on we golden skin
De beat don’t stop de groove begin
Hands up high we feel so free
Tonight we write we history

We rise up no fall down
From de dirt we wear de crown
Heartbeat strong we feel de vibe
Dis da way we come alive!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Hear de conga feel de sound
De rhythm spin us round and round
We go higher to de sky
Dis de way we always fly!

Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!

Wake up — the clock won’t wait
Tie your shoes shift the weight
Mirror’s not your enemy
It’s the version you refuse to be

You’ve got fire in your legs
Steel in your breath
Wipe the doubt off your face
This is your test

No turning back
You’ve made it this far
Every step’s a strike
Every scar’s a star
No turning back
No room for “might”
You don’t need luck
You are the fight

Every wall is just a bluff
It shakes when you get tough
Every “no” you ever heard
Is a fuel you never burned
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going

No turning back
You write the map
Built from sweat
No room for “slack”
No turning back
You’ve come too far
You don’t need signs
You are the spark
