Clean Up Nice - by @aftertwomusic (Dartiste remix)

[Male and female funk vocals, percussive phrasing, falsetto on hook, separate verses] [VERSE 1 - MALE LEAD] Charcoal pleats Black knit fitted Cropped leather Whole look different Fresh fade sharp Little gold on chest Dark derby shoes And the trousers pressed No loud logo Nothing oversized Keep the whole fit calm Let the details talk Steel on wrist Scent sitting light Walked in once Made 'em look back twice I don't need stones Dancing in the light Don't need my name Printed down the side Everything clean Everything precise Came from the sweats... Now I clean up nice Same man Different setting Same face Better lighting No big flex No need to try When the whole fit lands... I clean up nice [PRE-CHORUS - MALE, MELODIC] Low-key all day After dark, switch One clean change And the whole mood shifts Step through calm Let the room decide One look... Then they look twice [CHORUS - MALE/FEMALE UNISON, MELODIC] Clean up nice Don't do too much One good fit Make the whole room hush Clean up nice Everything right Walk in once Then they look twice Too clean... No rush... Whole fit talks We don't say too much One look... Two times... Damn... We clean up nice [VERSE 2 - FEMALE LEAD] Satin midi Fitted top Little heel Make the whole look pop Hair pulled sleek Gold hoops light Small bag tucked Everything sits right Soft gloss shine When it catches the room Dark cherry nails With the clean perfume No loud stones No label fight Everything simple But the cut sits right Came from the hoodie Hair tied high Now satin moves When I walk inside Didn't dress up For everybody's eyes But I know they notice... I clean up nice Same girl Different setting Same face Better lighting Nothing forced No need to try When the whole look lands... I clean up nice [PRE-CHORUS - FEMALE, MELODIC] Low-key all day After dark, switch One clean change And the whole mood shifts Step through calm Let the room decide One look... Then they look twice [CHORUS - MALE/FEMALE UNISON] Clean up nice Don't do too much One good fit Make the whole room hush Clean up nice Everything right Walk in once Then they look twice Too clean... No rush... Whole fit talks We don't say too much One look... Two times... Damn... We clean up nice [POST-CHORUS - SHORT, RHYTHMIC] One look... Two times... Clean up... Clean up nice One look... Two times... Clean up... Clean up nice [VERSE 3 - MALE LEAD] City lights Black cab waiting Late reservation Still ain't rushing Leather sits cropped When I step outside Pleats fall clean From the waist to the stride Fresh trim No cap tonight Collar sitting clean Under amber lights Simple on paper Different in sight That's what happens When the fit sits right Don't need ten chains Don't need ten rings Confidence carries More than those things Keep it understated That's more my type Quiet when I enter... Still clean up nice [VERSE 4 - FEMALE LEAD] Streetlights catch On the satin when I move Kitten heel clicking Right into the groove Gold at the ear Little shine at the wrist Nothing on the outfit That don't need to exist Small silhouette Everything clean Nighttime version Of the daytime me No costume No different life Just another side When I clean up nice From oversized sweats To the fitted waistline From hair tied back To the sleek nighttime Same confidence Just refined One little switch... Now they look twice [BRIDGE - MELODIC] [MALE] No need to rush Let 'em see it slow [FEMALE] No need to pose When you already know [MALE] From daytime calm To the city at night [FEMALE] Same energy Just cleaned up right [BOTH] Nothing to prove Nothing to hide One little switch And the whole mood slides One look... Two times... We clean up nice [BEAT CUT] [FINAL CHORUS - BIGGEST GROOVE] Clean up nice Don't do too much One good fit Make the whole room hush Clean up nice Everything right Walk in once Then they look twice Too clean... No rush... Whole fit talks We don't say too much One look... Two times... Damn... We clean up nice [FINAL POST-CHORUS - CATCHIEST] One look Two times One look Two times Clean up nice One look Two times Whole room freeze When we step outside One look... Two times... Damn... We clean up nice [OUTRO - INSTRUMENTAL ONLY] [END]
