Ride The Tide (NYC Afro-Carib Freestyle)

[Verse 1 - The Confession] (Vocal: Low, intimate, behind the beat) So it's hard sometimes to get out of my own way But I do my best to show up every day So I think it's time I see the light I just need to do it right I'm here to stay. ( it’s gonna be ok) [Pre-Chorus - The 145th Snap and Sink] (Vocal: Staccato then lazy, syncopated) When the boat starts rockin’ …I GOTTA HOLD ON TIGHT. Don’t try to fight it... I'ma ride the tide [Chorus - Rhythmic R&B] (Vocal: Smooth, syncopated, layered harmonies) I'ma ride the tide... TAKE IT-TO THE STORM! [Drum Fill] I don't need to hide... I'ma take it all. (Take it all...) It's really a fight It's really a fight [Verse 2 - The Ashanti/Jerkins Payoff] (Vocal: Rhythmic bounce, high energy) Mmm Once I put my mind to it Get into it I'ma make it through it Once I put my mind to it Get into it I'ma make it through it [chorus with crazy harmonies, passion] I'ma ride the tide... TAKE IT-TO THE STORM! [Drum Fill] I don't need to hide... I'ma take it all. (Take it all...) [Outro] Take it to the storm… … IM GONNA HAVE. IT. ALL! [cold cut out] [end]
