Midnight Plate

Intro (Ambient vinyl crackle, soft Rhodes chords, distant siren) Spoken (Dominique): "Long day. Stove still hot. She waitin’... that’s love." --- Verse 1 (Napz) Clock out, grease on my shirt, soul heavy Kitchen grind, but I’m dreamin’ of you already You keep the light on, plate warm, heart steady Ain’t no diamonds, but this loyalty deadly You see the scars, never flinch, never fold You know the stories I ain’t even told You hold me down like the roots in the soil I bring the hustle, you bring the foil --- Hook (Female Vocals) I got you, baby, through the highs and lows Midnight plate, when the world say no You feed my soul, even when you broke I see your grind, I see your growth So come home, love, let the silence speak I’ll be right here, seven days a week You ain’t gotta ask, you ain’t gotta chase I’m your peace, your place, your grace --- Verse 2 (Napz) You got dreams too, I see ‘em in your eyes But you put ‘em on pause just to help me rise That’s sacrifice, that’s real, that’s rare You the type they write songs ‘bout, swear I was close to the edge, you pulled me back Told me “legacy ain’t built off a plaque” So I’m stackin’ these shifts, writin’ these bars Tryna turn our pain into stars --- Bridge (Duet) Dominique: I know I ain’t perfect, but I’m tryin’ to be Her: You already perfect when you grind for me Dominique: Long nights, cold streets, still I come home Her: ‘Cause love ain’t loud, it’s the quiet tone --- Hook (Female Vocals - Repeat) I got you, baby, through the highs and lows Midnight plate, when the world say no You feed my soul, even when you broke I see your grind, I see your growth So come home, love, let the silence speak I’ll be right here, seven days a week You ain’t gotta ask, you ain’t gotta chase I’m your peace, your place, your grace --- Outro (Soft fade-out, voicemail-style recording) "Just heatin’ up your plate, baby. I know you tired. I’m proud of you."
