lyrics

I want to make some boogie
Sharp stabs of sound that get your hips on a swivel
Your head bobbing, fingers popping, your stank face on
But I need to talk about how I hurt sometimes
Blues that I try to paint green
so people think I’m cool, like Miles Davis.

And you, you want to smile and celebrate the day,
but the subjects that I speak about make you look away.
I don’t want you to choke on my pain
So I’m keeping it copasetic – just for you
I’m keeping it copasetic

Can’t keep it real
Taught to lockdown my feelings
Beat back the bubbling up of emotion
Overflow with salty tears and skinned knuckles
But I want to project light, recount my blessings
My script optimistic, wrap a smile ‘round you,
play on and keep you feeling good
I hope you feel real good

Who wants to witness a man’s frustration?
And I don’t what to trouble you for some help - nooo
I know you didn’t come ‘round here for me to bring you down
Chorus: X 4
So I’m keepin’ it copasetic - just for you

Maybe in time you won’t feel disdain because I’m being real
But until then I’ll keep my mind on nontoxic ideas
Solo

Chorus X 4
