This is a re-imagination of "MOONLITE" -- track 5 from my debut alt-R&B project, "MOONSIDE" which was released independently to moderate success (500k total streams to date) in May of 2021. This exclusive alternate version of the track is a hell of a vibe, slowed and pitched down to a lovely sweet spot that accentuated the rainy atmosphere that was already prominent in the original version to begin with. If you appreciate rain, this piece is for you.
100% of this sale's profit will go towards the bettering of my mental health, as well as gas money for when I return home to the Bay Area in December, where I plan to make a lot of important music with my people up there.
The winner of this piece will receive:
•1 physical transcript copy of the lyrics
•1 signed print of my album cover with a personal appreciation note
•A 25% share of all streams if/when a slowed version of my album is released to streaming platforms
•A folder of iPhone voice memos that were recorded in the making of this song, that give a behind the scenes look at my process and how I came up with the lyrics and melodies
Lyrics:
(VERSE 1)
Whippin’ lil’ too fast
Playin’ every slow jam I got
Thinkin’ ‘bout what we gon’ do first, do first, do first
I’m just prayin’ I don’t get blurped
Mhm
(PRE-HOOK 1)
Full tank
Swimming thru all four lanes
Moonlite leading your way
Closer and closer and closer
I’m on E
Sleep deprived and hungry
But Imma still give you this D
Over and over and over
Baby
(HOOK 1)
Glidin’ thru the city (And I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city (Yea I’m on my way)
I’m on my way
Yee, ohHhh (And I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city (Yea I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city
I’m on my way (My way to you)
Gurl I’m on my way, way, wayyYy (My way, my way, way)
(BRIDGE 1)
Mmhm
Gurl I’m on my way
Gurl I’m on mmhm
You was talkin’ all that shit
What you gon’ do when I pull up?
Hm?
Yea, yea, yea, YEA!
(VERSE 2)
I know you seen what the gas prices been lookin like
Gurl you got a real one (Real one)
(This is how you know it’s real)
I can’t afford another call out
So I gotta dip early
But it’s all yours
Until then
(PRE-HOOK 2)
Full tank
Swimming thru all four lanes
Moonlite leading your way
Closer and closer and closer
I’m on E
Sleep deprived and hungry
But Imma still slang you this D
Over and over and over
Baby
(HOOK 2)
Glidin’ thru the city (And I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city (Yea I’m on my way)
I’m on my way
Yee, ohHhh (And I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city (Yea I’m on my way)
Glidin’ thru the city
I’m on my way (My way to you)
Gurl I’m on my way, way, wayyYy (My way, my way, way)
You was talkin’ all that shit
What you gon’ do when I pull up?
