V6

[Intro – Deep, playful spoken delivery, percussion building] Yeah, yeah, yeah! Ayy, listen now! Used to chase a feeling, now the feeling chase me, Life been moving fast, but mi finally feel free! Ohhh, yeah! [Chorus – Bouncy dancehall rhythm, melodic reggaeton groove] Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night, Mi write just fi make miself feel alright. Used to get high pon di ganja, Now mi get high pon life, Used to search fi peace inna cloud of smoke, Now mi find it when mi write! Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night, Every little word put another thing right. No more running from the feeling, No more hiding from the light, Used to get high pon di ganja, Now mi get high pon life! [Verse 1 – Fast rhythmic dancehall flow, playful delivery] Wake up inna morning with a melody in mind, Got a thousand little thoughts and a thousand little rhymes, Got a pen full of feelings and a head full of time, Turn a little bit of pain into a rhythm and a rhyme. Some days sunshine, some days rain, Some days laughter, some days pain, But mi never gonna let it all go down the drain, Take another little lesson, put it straight into mi brain. I been up, I been down, I been lost, I been found, Had mi head inna clouds, now mi feet pon di ground, And the world keep spinning while the bassline pound, Got a heart full of love and a brand-new sound! [Pre-Chorus – Melodic, softer delivery] And I don't need no smoke to see the stars tonight, Don't need no wings to feel like I can fly, Got a little bit of hope and a little bit of light, And a whole lotta reasons to keep trying! [Chorus – Full bass, energetic vocals] Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night, Mi write just fi make miself feel alright. Used to get high pon di ganja, Now mi get high pon life, Used to search fi peace inna cloud of smoke, Now mi find it when mi write! [Verse 2 – Flirty, playful, rolling rhythm] Cause babe, you are the love of my life, Never need no udda, Never felt love like dis except fi mi mudda! And baby, let me speak love to you, 'Cause love is a language, And it's one that I've become fluent in. And I don't just mean the words, I'm talking about the cadence too, 'Cause it's not about how it sounds to you, It's about whether those words are true. See, I could sing you pretty songs, Could make the whole world sing along, But if I never show you what I mean, Then what good is another song? I could tell you that I love you, Every morning, every night, But I'd rather let my actions Be the reason you know I'm right. [Bridge – Instrumental drops back, intimate half-sung delivery] And you know I don't say that light, But I mean every word. I didn't hear you then, But now I want you to feel heard. I can promise I'll never make you feel that hurt again, And that's a promise that I'll keep, Mother of my child, lover and best friend. [Instrumental Break – Deep rolling bass, Latin percussion, warm guitar] Ohhh, yeah, yeah! Feel di rhythm, feel di sound, Two feet firmly pon di ground! [Verse 3 – Confident rapid-fire delivery] See, I used to think that happiness was something I could chase, Something hiding in a bottle or a temporary place, But the moment always faded and the feeling never stayed, Now I'm learning how to love the little life I wanna make. Got a son that I love, got a dream in my chest, Got a thousand things to learn, and I'm giving it my best, I ain't claiming I'm perfect, never said I'm above the rest, But I'm trying to be better than the man I was yesterday. And I know that I got scars, And I know that I made mistakes, But the future ain't a prison Built from choices that I made. So mi dancing through the struggle, Let the rhythm take the strain, If tomorrow bring another storm, Mi still gonna dance inna rain! [Final Chorus – Bigger harmonies, joyful delivery] Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night, Mi write just fi make miself feel alright. Used to get high pon di ganja, Now mi get high pon life, Used to search fi peace inna cloud of smoke, Now mi find it when mi write! Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night, Got a heart full of love and a future looking bright! No more running from the feeling, No more hiding from the light, Used to get high pon di ganja, Now mi get high pon life! [Outro – Playful, relaxed vocals, instruments fading] Yeah, yeah! Still got problems, still got pain, Still got sunshine after rain. Mi writing all di day, Mi writing all di night... And mi finally learning how fi love mi life. Ohhh, yeah! High pon life!
