[Intro – Whispered over Wah-Wah - Male rap Spoken] (Wah-wah sings...) Like water talkin’ back to fire — Her voice before the words. [Fem Spoken] “Cheri…” she says… same tone, same storm. [Solid Phase – Earth speaks] Boots on concrete, end of day, Keys in hand, I fade away. Same old talk before I breathe, [Angry Fem Spoken]“Why you late?” — her symphony. [Male rap (Spoken)] My drums are tired, my hands are stone, Workin’ all day, just to come back alone. Grounded heart, but she shakes the floor, Every sigh a beat I can’t ignore. Rhodes like tears, congas like rain, She says my silence drives her insane. I say, “Girl, it’s just the world I fight,” She says, [Angry Fem Spoken]“You fight me every night.” [Male Spoken] Her voice — a wave I can’t contain, Wah-wah whisperin’ through my brain. Love and anger melt in heat, Two rivers crash — no retreat. [Gas Phase – Explosion / Tempo doubles] Now the tempo breaks and flies, Her words like sparks across the sky. I laugh to keep from fallin’ down, She spins my name, turns sound to frown. [Male rap (Drop / Spoken)] Cheri, oh Cheri, why we burn so slow? Why every kiss feels like vertigo? She wants truth, I want peace — But both of us just want release. All the phases start to blend, Solid hearts begin to bend. Air, and earth, and water meet, We dance again — incomplete. [Final Bloom – Cosmic resolution Cheri, your voice still fills my chest, Maybe pain’s just love undressed. In every fight, in every plea, There’s still a “you and me.” (Wah-wah fades, breathing like light...) Cheri… oh Cheri… don’t stop the music yet.
