KICKING STONES Afrobeats × Electro-Funk × Electro-Soul | 116 BPM | Smoky Female Contralto [Intro – Elastic Funk Bass, Crisp Afro-Percussion, Playful Synth Accents] Mi seh one thing, yuh hear another. Mi try again, wi nah reach nowhere. [Syncopated Bass Pickup] [Verse 1 – Smoky Contralto, Tight Conversational Groove] Mi ask one question, yuh answer too soon. Yuh ready fi defend before mi get through. Yuh finish mi sentence, den tell mi mi wrong. Mi barely start talk, yuh three argument gone. Mi turn it around, try a different track. But yuh drag di same old argument back. [Pre-Chorus – Rolling Percussion, Tightening Bass] Mi push, yuh pull, wi back a di start. Two different clocks, a beat apart. Mi try every angle, mi try every road. All a dis movement, nowhere fi go! [Chorus – Full Electro-Funk Groove, Infectious Melodic Hook] Kicking stones! Kicking stones! Whole heap a talking, nowhere fi go! Round an round, same old road. All a dis moving, nutten nah move! Kicking stones! Kicking stones! Daylight a burn, mi shoes a wear out! [8-Bar Instrumental Dance Break – Rubbery Bass, Muted Guitar, Layered Afro-Percussion] [Verse 2 – Nimble Rhythmic Contralto, Growing Realization] Mi did have whole day before dis begin. Now mi watch di sunlight slip through mi fingers. Mi have things pon mi table, places fi go. But mi a give weh hours mi can't get back no more. One more explanation, one more little spin. Mi see di same circle a come round again. [Pre-Chorus 2 – Familiar Rhythmic Motif, Percussion Gradually Pulls Back] Mi push, yuh pull, wi back a di start. Mi know dis rhythm, mi know it by heart. Mi coulda keep pushing, keep wearing it down. But something inside seh, not another round! [Chorus – Funk Bass Returns, Vocals More Decisive] Kicking stones! Kicking stones! Whole heap a talking, nowhere fi go! Round an round, same old road. All a dis moving, nutten nah move! Kicking stones! Kicking stones! Daylight a burn, mi shoes a wear out! [Instrumental Transition – Bass Drops Away, Percussion Thins, Warm Synth Chords Emerge] [Bridge – Intimate Melodic Contralto, Warm Electro-Soul] Hol' on... Mek mi catch mi breath. Mi waan some life inna di time mi have lef'. Nuh need no showdown, nuh need fi shout. Some things worth mi energy, but dis one run out. [Brief Instrumental Silence – Single Soft Inhale] Mi no longer kicking stones— MI CLOCKING OUT! [Full Bass Drop – Bright, Liberated Afrobeats Groove, Deep Amapiano Log Drum, Expansive Harmonies] [Final Chorus – Joyful Electro-Funk Release, Playful Contralto Harmonies] Clocking out! Clocking out! Mi get back mi time, mi stepping out! Fresh air a call, sun still high. Mi have more living fi do tonight! Clocking out! Clocking out! Mi take back mi energy, turn it around! Mi have places fi go, mi have things fi do. Whole heap a living mi still waan do! [16-Bar Instrumental Dance Break – Elastic Funk Bass, Bright Guitar Responses, Deep Log Drum, Layered Afro-Percussion, Melodic Vocal Harmonies] [Post-Chorus – Light Rhythmic Contralto, Playful Bass Responses] No more circles, no more rounds. Feel dat rhythm? A mi sound. Step to di lef', mek di whole thing go. Mi have mi own direction, mi have mi own road! [Final Groove – Full Percussion, Warm Layered Contralto] Clocking out! Clocking out! Mi get back mi time, mi stepping out! [Outro – Relaxed Electro-Soul Sway, Bass and Guitar Interplay] Kicking stones? Not anymore. Mi have better things worth moving for. [Soft Melodic Contralto Response] Mi no longer kicking stones, mi got better things fi do! [Final Syncopated Funk Bass Figure – Clean Stop]
