double d’s

since you been gone, i been feelin’ withdrawals,
you were the rhythm i reached for when the night got soft.
had plans with the homies, yeah, i canceled the calls,
heart took the wheel, let the city dissolve.

last night in the town
i been dreamin’ about,
of more than the words that connect our mouths.
wednesday we hiked
on the way back sang love songs,
ya melanin glow led my route
next day i still needed you miss lady, reaching for you
with no come-down.

told myself, “chill, don’t get caught in the awe,”
but my feet kept floatin’ where your name got drawn.
“meet me at double d’s,”
and broke every clause,
some rules feel flimsy when destiny calls.

what a night,
what a life —
with you, i still think
slow-motion moments stitched in between.
then i saw you with your friend by the barlight beam,
melanin glowin like a warm sunbeam.

i wished you was on the market,
i just want a little dance,
just one spin to get lost in the chance.
you had me in a trance,
no sleight of hand,
just the way you stood there,
earthbound and grand.

dj hummin’ truths in a southern sway,
bassline rockin’ us gentle,
i tuck you away.
we ain’t say much,
but the silence played,
like love in cursive, unafraid.

if models are made for modelin’ frames,
then you’re made for the hush where the real things stay.
switch time zones, let the night behave,
who needs another plan? just your palm in my hand.

we met at double d’s, let the record spin,
calm like a prayer with a yearning grin.
city kept talkin’, but we tuned it thin—
that night found me still, then pulled me in.

…

brown skin glowin’ like it came with a light,
move like a spirit when you cross my sight.
halo in your walk,
little sin in your grin,
you don’t just walk in the room—
you drift in,
baby we drifting
im tryna drift in…

she coming, she just takin her time…

roll, roll, roll, roll on sheets
dreamt you movin’ like the night repeats
make you hum this mothafuckin’ tune
make you melt under silver beams of this moon
every moan, every curve, all ya needs
i’m just the guest in your velvet dreams.
reached the peak
of the plot
surround sound vibration in your knees
this must be in a dream,
let me wake up pleas—






new benz

every day and night, i pray to God just to see your face
baby everyday!
i miss you when i wake up before you, see the sunlight beaming off your face
need it everyday
’cause right about now, i’d pray heaven closer just to share your space
anything, every night
tea cooling in the morning, we both stayed up too late
do anything, baby you my fate

let me know when the night won’t let you rest
my thoughts load up, go to war just to give you peace
i be pacing the dark, heavy heart in my chest
every blink feel like scores when you not next to me

let me know, let me know
if the moon getting loud, i’ll quiet your street
mind doing laps, double-parked in your sleep
i’d trade all my dreams just to watch you breathe

every single night i’d do anything just to keep you close
every night, every night, i’m making oaths
high off you, no pills, no smoke
need all of you in my cup, i been savoring that hope

you wanna be my wife? i’ll put down the bottle
let the past take a backseat, ease off of the throttle
i’ll soften my tone, be patient, be thoughtful
grow into a man you can lean on into tomorrow

every single night i’d do anything just to earn your trust
every word, every step, build from the dust
i’ll think wiser, move quieter, love it was never lust
be the calm in your chaos, the one you can trust

cruising my new benz but it don’t feel right
passenger empty, just city lights
every mile stretching you outta my sight
if love need distance, i’ll move my life

i’ll go middle of nowhere, trade noise for the sound of your name
if it bring you beside me, i’m good with the change
you can have the new benz, here’s the keys, ain’t no games
i just want you reaching for me the same

every single night i’d do anything just to adore you, baby
i miss how your laughter used to save me
time slipping fast, and it scare me, baby
when’s the last time i told you you amaze me?
yuh i need all of you, my lady

every single night i’d do anything just to stay in your light
every breath, every beat, every fragile sight
if love is your road, i’ll drive you all night
new benz, old soul, still choosing you for life

let me know when you sleep
if the war finally quiet, if your heart at peace
i’ll be right where you land, i’ll be right where you need
ill do the time, just to make sure you free

every day and night, i pray to God just to see your face
baby everyday!
i miss you when i wake up before you, see the sunlight beaming off your face
need it everyday
’cause right about now, i’d pray heaven closer just to share your space
anything, every night
tea cooling in the morning, we both stayed up too late
do anything, baby you my fate
