about

My timing with these releases have been really bad, to say the least, and I’m paying the consequences even now. I’m continuing my streak of bad timing with this release because life has unfolded in such a way that I never would have guessed it would haha.. Excuses aside, it’s out and available, my friends.

With this release I humbly want to introduce a product that is now available via Amazon. Dark Horses’ first line of merchandise.. Popsockets. There are 3 Dark Horse designs in total for now, all 3 links are just under my profile image (to the right). Feel free to place your order that includes free shipping, and if you’re a Prime member, you can get it in 2 days or less. One of the most necessary phone attachments, aside from a case. An official Dark Horse online shop coming soon. This is starting to feel like an ad, so let’s move onto the release itself.

The title of the song is “Oral Expression”. I came up with the title BEFORE writing the song. After coming up with the title, I typically conceptualize. During the process of coming up with the concept, my intent was to use those Sunday Night Slow Jam call-ins as a reference. However, as the song developed, I kept getting further away from my key reference, and not without trying to keep it on track. Long story short, the song became what you hear, but I managed to keep the title intact. I could have easily given it something different, something even more appropriate for the song, but I like the thought of keeping it as what I had come up with in the first place haha..

With all the uncertainty right now, it’s hard to gauge what I should do next musically. Just when I became sure of what I needed to do, the world happens to fall under a pandemic, flipping my plans on it’s face. So, back to square one. A square of which I am very much familiar with at this point. I’ll continue to bring you music, as usual. I’ll also be working on a few other things related to which, but that announcement’s coming with our next link.

Until then, I hope you all stay safe throughout all that is going on. I know the worst is still underway, so let’s brace ourselves as much as possible. Much love, my friends. BLESS.

lyrics

Intro

Romance didn’t workout for you, that’s fine
Somehow got a real good feelin’ it’s different this time
Watch and I waited, no sign
but tonight it’s clear as day, so don’t fight it

Chorus

You can say you love me out loud
Open up and don’t be too proud
Promise I won’t judge you
No one else it’s just you
Tell me what it’s comes to,
you can say it out loud

1st Verse

Ain’t nothin’ goin’, go ahead n’ confess
Only 3 words, no more and no less
All this time no tell, I must say I’m impressed
It’s prime time, so let’s get it off your chest
Aye
Don’t go leave me in the woods, I’m not Tiger
Did I get you good, I think I might’ve
Don’t go switchin’ up the mood, leave that light up
So it’s understood, break this silence

Chorus

You can say you love me out loud
Open up and don’t be too proud
Promise I won’t judge you
No one else it’s just you
Tell me what it’s comes to,
you can say it out loud

2nd Verse

You Iffy ‘cause you see I got options
Give or keep is a TD like Jackson
Lights on me, camera action
No cleats on, but I still got traction
Fruits from my passion
Whole numbers, no fractions
I know all that won’t last
I’d share it all if you asked

Oo I’d let this go,
but I’m in too deep
Something tells me that
you’re in the hole like me
I’ve been waitin’ for you
impatiently
You told everyone,
everyone but me

Chorus

You can say you love me out loud
Open up and don’t be too proud
Promise I won’t judge you
No one else it’s just you
Tell me what this comes to, you can say it out loud
