Stay Hydrated - Sip Stride Repeat (Running) [B]
[Intro - dry rhythmic vocal over immediate groove] Sip. Stride. Repeat. [Verse 1 - relaxed rhythmic rap] Shoes at the door while the street is still blue, Race number folded, got a route to do. Some run the distance, some walk the hill, Every kind of pace has a place here still. Water stop ahead, move over with care, Take a little pause, there is time to spare. Cup in the bin when the break is through, Back to my rhythm with a wider view. [Pre-Chorus - melodic lift] Listen to your body, find your pace, Water along the route, room for every race. [Chorus - memorable warm melodic hook] Sip, stride, repeat, Stay hydrated on your own two feet. Sip, stride, repeat, Take that water break, come back to the beat. [Instrumental - four bars, bass and piano] [Verse 2 - conversational rap] Signs on the corner and a stranger cheers, One more bend and the park appears. Friends at the finish or a solo loop, City-run morning with a neighborhood crew. Not every mile needs a personal best, Some days moving is enough, take a rest. When the run is over and we meet on the green, Water and a story of the places we have seen. [Pre-Chorus] Listen to your body, find your pace, Water along the route, room for every race. [Chorus] Sip, stride, repeat, Stay hydrated on your own two feet. Sip, stride, repeat, Take that water break, come back to the beat. [Bridge - stripped groove, close vocal] Easy day or race day, Make a little space. Water break when you need it, Then your own pace. [Final Chorus - full groove and subtle harmonies] Sip, stride, repeat, Stay hydrated on your own two feet. Sip, stride, repeat, Take that water break, come back to the beat. [Outro - short resolved ending] Sip. Stride. Repeat.
