Favour

Yeah… {boom bap beat drop,

sampled

horns}

Suit pressed, skyline melting through the glass,

Booked another table, told ‘em,

“Make it one to match.” Phone don’t ever ring unless it’s money

on the line, Funny how the schedule got expensive with the time.

Still the same smile,

just a different set of views,

Windows to the ocean where the city fades to blue.

Champagne conversations, no one’s asking what it costs,

When you built it brick by brick,

you don’t think about the loss.

Gold light bouncing off the bezel when I check the hour,

Every day’s a little sweeter when the work becomes the power.

They were chasing moments,

I was building something lasting,

Now the papers hit the desk and everybody wants a fraction.

Steak dinners, late drives,

stars over the roof,

Life got real quiet when I finally found the proof.

No rush, no luck,

just patience in the plans,

Now the future that I pictured fits perfectly in my hands.

I don’t wear success,

I let it settle in my stride,

You can see it in the calm,

never hear it in my pride.

Here’s to every late night nobody ever knew,

Now the view’s worth every hour that I gave to get the

view. Private lounge waiting while they call another flight,

Passport filling up with stories written overnight.

Sunrise in the distance,

coffee black, no sugar,

Thinking ‘bout tomorrow while they’re caught up in the rumours.

Every meeting ended with another door unlocked,

Now the calendar is full but I still make time to stop.

Take a second, breathe it in,

remember why I started,

’Cause every blessing came from staying true and staying guarded.

Lord knows I prayed before I ever chased the shine,

Asked Him, “Keep me steady,

let the timing be divine.”

Ooh… You heard my prayers…

Stayed with me through every night… Now we’re dancing in the light…

Everything feels so alri-i-ight… Ooh… You heard my prayers…

Every blessing, every sunrise…

Thank You for this beautiful life… I’ll keep my faith by my

side… {female soul vocals,

lush harmonies, fading synths}
