[Intro – low, smoky, half-sung] Yeah… it’s your Jewel… Pink wings in the city… Come here, papi… [Verse 1] You step in the room carrying the weight of the world I see that tired in your eyes, but I know how to make it unfurl Don’t gotta front with me, I already see through the mask Let these pink wings wrap around you, take the load off your back You from the Bronx, I’m straight out the South of the code But when we link up, the whole block starts to glow I keep it real like you do, no games, no disguise Whisper in your ear while the bassline rides [Pre-Chorus] You say you good, but I feel when you stressed Let me lift that weight right off your chest Yo te tengo, I got you, no cap [Chorus] I’m your ride or die with these pink wings flying Your calm in the storm when the whole world’s wilding If the night gets crazy, baby I’m still right here Come lay your head on me, let me be your safe place, my dear I’m that soft in your rough, that light when it’s dark That “fuck the world” feeling when we beat in the dark Latin love in the back of the whip, windows fogged up You know I got you, mami’s here, never giving up [Verse 2] You talk that street shit, I love how you switch when you’re home Got me biting my lip every time you call me your own I ain’t scared of your demons, I’ve danced with my own So when you need to let go, baby bring ‘em all home We can curse at the sky, laugh ‘til we cry Then I’ll ride real slow while the city lights shine No judgment, just heat, just me and my king Pink feathers on your skin, let the rest of it sing [Pre-Chorus] You say you good, but I feel when you stressed Let me lift that weight right off your chest Yo te tengo, I got you, no cap [Chorus] I’m your ride or die with these pink wings flying Your calm in the storm when the whole world’s wilding If the night gets crazy, baby I’m still right here Come lay your head on me, let me be your safe place, my dear I’m that soft in your rough, that light when it’s dark That “fuck the world” feeling when we beat in the dark Latin love in the back of the whip, windows fogged up You know I got you, mami’s here, never giving up [Bridge – slower, breathy, intimate] And when the lights go low… And it’s just me and you… I’ll let these wings wrap around Show you what a Valkyrie do… Yeah, I can get nasty… but only for you Soft and dirty, the way you like it too [Final Chorus – full passion] I’m your ride or die with these pink wings flying Your calm in the storm when the whole world’s wilding If the night gets crazy, baby I’m still right here Come lay your head on me… let me be your everything I’m that soft in your rough, that light when it’s dark That “fuck the world” feeling when we deep in the dark Latin love, pink wings, and a beating heart You know I got you forever… This is our block, our start. [Outro – soft, fading] Mmm… ven aquí, papi… Your Jewel got you… always.
