MORE SWAGGER
by MR SANKA
Lyrics
INTRO
Camera shutter. Crowd noise. Bass humming underneath.
VOICE:
Yeah...
They said the door was closed.
Pause.
Funny.
I don't remember asking.
Bass drops.
---
VERSE I
Black on black,
clean from the shoes to the collar,
Walk in slow,
I don't need to look taller.
Phone on silent,
I don't chase no reply,
If the room gets quiet
when I enter—
That's why.
Gold on the wrist,
but the time don't matter,
Whole fit talking,
I don't need a caption.
They watch from the corner,
I wave like a star.
I came through the velvet rope—
I didn't know there was a bar.
---
PRE-HOOK
Beat strips down.
Too smooth.
Too clean.
Too calm.
CHOIR:
Who is he?
LEAD:
Don't worry about it.
Beat returns.
---
HOOK
I walk like the floor belongs to me,
Talk like the whole room knows my name.
No rush,
no stress,
no need to prove a thing.
If I want it—
I take my time.
CHOIR:
Take your time.
LEAD:
I take my time.
CHOIR:
Take your time.
LEAD:
Yeah, that's mine.
---
VERSE II
Switch to a bouncy, bass-heavy groove.
Fresh step,
new scene,
same me.
Too much sauce
for a plain tee.
Laugh too loud,
then I lean back.
Everybody got opinions—
I don't read that.
I don't need ten friends
standing in formation.
One real one beside me
is a whole celebration.
Lights flash.
Cameras click.
I turn once.
That's enough.
---
BRIDGE
Everything cuts except bass and snaps.
Don't confuse quiet
with weakness.
Don't confuse patience
with fear.
I've been building in the dark
while everybody else
was making noise.
Now the door is open.
CHOIR, low:
Let him in.
LEAD:
I was already inside.
Beat explodes.
---
FINAL HOOK
I walk like the floor belongs to me,
Talk like the whole room knows my name.
No rush,
no stress,
no need to prove a thing.
If I want it—
I take my time.
CHOIR:
Take your time.
LEAD:
I take my time.
Brass hits.
I don't chase the spotlight—
I make it follow me.
Beat stops.
VOICE:
Next door.
Bass hit.
END.
