(Intro — whispered) Mm-mm... Yeah... yeah... Turn it up... up... up... Not new... just stronger... Black pepper... pepper... pepper... Verse 1 Everybody runnin’ for another high Another trend, another light in the sky New shoes, new dreams, new city nights Still feel empty when the silence arrives But grandma had a little secret in the kitchen One tiny spark make the whole pot listen Didn’t change the meal — nah, nah Just woke up the flavor hidden So why we always searchin’ far away? Gold already sittin’ in the clay Maybe what you got is enough enough You just never turned it up Pre-Chorus A little more fire A little more soul A little more pressure on the diamonds we hold Don’t throw away the melody Just raise the frequency Chorus Black pepper — sprinkle on the rhythm Black pepper — make the heartbeat hit ‘em Same love, same dream, same soul inside Just amplify, amplify Black pepper — ooh, awaken the flavor Black pepper — life gets sweeter later You don’t need a whole new sky tonight Just amplify... amplify... (Echo) Fy... fy... fy... Amplify... Verse 2 You got gifts sittin’ dusty on the shelf Too busy tryna reinvent yourself Meanwhile your light still waitin’ backstage Tryna break free from the cage Maybe your smile heals a room already Maybe your voice makes the weak feel steady Maybe your craft ain’t missing magic Maybe consistency is the magic Everybody lookin’ for a miracle sign While the answer been there the whole damn time Water what grows, don’t abandon the seed More of your truth is all you need Build Turn the volume up-up-up On the things that fill your cup-cup-cup Stop runnin’ every time it gets rough Maybe what works is enough Enough enough enough... Chorus Black pepper — sprinkle on the rhythm Black pepper — make the heartbeat hit ‘em Same love, same dream, same soul inside Just amplify, amplify Black pepper — shake it like thunder Black pepper — make the small feel larger You don’t need another life tonight Just amplify... amplify... (Layered echoes) Amplify... (Amplify...) Amplify... (Fy... fy... fy...) Bridge (half-time emotional section) Don’t throw away your fire Just because it burns familiar Don’t quit on your garden Searching for another river The magic ain’t always brand new Sometimes it’s hidden in you In you... You... you... you... Final Drop Chorus BLACK PEPPER! Hit the soul like bass in a speaker BLACK PEPPER! Tiny spark make the whole world deeper Take your love and make it louder Take your dream and build a tower Take your gift and let it breathe That’s the power underneath BLACK PEPPER! Not replacement — elevation BLACK PEPPER! More intention, more vibration You don’t need another way to shine Just amplify what’s already alive Outro Mm... A little more heart... A little more focus... A little more faith in what already works... Black pepper... pepper... pepper... Amplify... amplify... Fade out... out... out...
