Stamps in Our Skin

rap, Sultry R&B / hip hop blend with warm Rhodes chords, subby bass, and midtempo knock; male vocals lead with a melodic rap cadence in the verses, butter-smooth sung hook layered with airy harmonies, Light guitar licks and soft percussion add a breezy, island feel as the song moves from moody London drizzle to sun-soaked Cabo and Curacao, Final chorus blooms with stacked ad-libs, filtered drums dropping in and out to keep it intimate yet anthemic, hip hop, r&b

We talk dreams over discount tickets
Maps open on my phone
You trace lines on my wrist
Say, "Any place with you feels home"

[Chorus]
From London to Cabo to Curaçao
Every stamp on the page make the feeling grow
New streets, same us, let the story roll
We in love with the world and the way we show
Brown skin in the sun, yeah, we let it glow
Every laugh, every flight, yeah, it plants a rose
From London to Cabo to Curaçao
We fall deeper in love everywhere we go (everywhere we go)

[Verse 2]
Cabo night, sand in our sneakers
Salt air sittin' sweet on your neck (mmm)
You dance with a stranger mama
Then pull me close by the deck
We learn words in a language
Trip over ‘em, still they smile
You say, "We belong anywhere
they can feel our vibe from a mile"

Later in a taxi, windows down
Moon on your collarbone
You whisper, "Look how far we came
from the block to this unknown"

[Bridge]
Curaçao morning, blue on blue
Kids playin', callin' out to you (hey)
You braid up your hair on the balcony
Say, "They see us and they see truth"

We toast to the ones locked in
Who ain’t left they side of town
We send ‘em pictures of ocean
Tell ‘em, "One day, we’ll bring you around"

We carry our history on our backs
But we dance like the future’s new
Every border, every stamp
Just another way to choose you (choose you)
