‘We’ll Be Free’ — #Lyrics To An R&B Song

This is just me riffing off Jhene Aiko beats. I sometimes like to decompress a little bit by writing lyrics, even though I know they will absolutely never be performed and the whole endeavor is completely useless and a waste of time.

We’ll Be Free

Nothing is as it seems
Or maybe that’s just me
Hoping to glean some meaning to it all
But I’m ready for us to fall to the top

There’s not one drop I’d give up
Between you and me

We’ll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free

I’m ready for one last shot
Maybe write a bop with you in mind
But you’ll just smile and laugh
Tell me I’m a gas

I believe you’re wrong
I believe you’re wrong

Just you wait and see
We’re all going to join as one
Once this long road ahead of us ends
When the journey is done

There’s not one drop I’d give up
Between you and me

We’ll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free

(bridge)
I’m not a slave
Your love is my liberty
When the chains of sadness
Tie me down on the ground
I look at you and know

We’ll be free
We’ll be free
We’ll be free

‘How’s It Going To End’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-R&B Song

I love the idea of a song starting relationships for no other reason than it prompts a guy to take a chance of a woman he notices. That’s the kind of power only an artist has and I want it. Anyway, his would be to a Jhene Aiko type fusion beat. Maybe a little bit faster than her usual stuff, but I just write the lyrics. It’s up to someone else to determine the music to go along with it.

How’s It Going To End
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

eye you across the way
lower my sunglasses and cock an eye
wonder what you surmise
do you think of delight
between my thighs at night
are you serious or just joshing
with that grin
how’s it going to end

we’re just two ships
sailing towards our fate

how’s it going to end
are we about to sin
begin again
or just walk away with a grin
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end

I’m no dope
I know you’ve got hope
of my slight touch
feeling the warmth of my breath
on your face in the dark
is this just a lark
or are you going to work for me

other girls might admire you
but I’d own you given the chance
I doubt you have it in you
to put in the effort for my attention
I guess we’ll see
how it’s going to end

we’re just two ships
sailing towards our fate

how’s it going to end
are we about to sin
begin again
or just walk away with a grin
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end

[bridge]
when we finally meet
and you sweep me off my feet
will you remember the moment we locked eyes
realized our fate was in the stars

how’s it going end

I’m waiting for you to come over
waiting for you to make your move
what happens next is up to you

how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end
