Loud

(album: Faster - 2021)

We're far away from the good ol' days
When we used to say what was on our mind
We pull away, don't get too close
But we both know that it's time
It's time, it's time
Ooh yeah, no, it's time, yeah, baby
Ooh, to bring it all on, to use your touch
To come on too strong, to say too much

'Cause I want you, baby
And I want you loud, yeah
Baby, can you hear me?
Tell me, do you need me now?
Whatcha holding onto?
Babe, I only want you loud, yeah

Well, let it rip from the rooftops
I wanna know what you still got
What you still got, what you still got
What you got, oh
To bring it all on, to use your touch
To come on too strong, to say too much, yeah

'Cause I want you, baby, oh
And I want you loud, yeah
Baby, can you hear me?
Tell me do you need me now?
Whatcha holding onto?
Babe, I only want you loud, yeah, yeah
Come on over here, oh

I can never keep it inside when I feel some way or I gotta release
And I say a whole lot, they be hoping it cease
People nowadays will make your word equivalent to a headshot
But when they really know what you say it's cool and calm as TED Talk
Pride is in the way
All the fake and lies will end today
You're mistaken why you in the grey
I begin to spray [?]
'Cause I say what I wanna say when I wanna say it
What I come to lay, yeah, they're gonna play it
And you wonder why what you said fell
'Cause you walk around on eggshells
People are so touchy
When I speak freely, never weak, we be
With the heat, please be tryna go roughly
When I'm [?]
Emotions known to be a fight maker
But this heat is not a lightsaber
Speak my truth when on white paper
If you come to me, I'll be the icebreaker
Screaming up into the heavens, I don't need a crowd
At my highest decibel level, tryna beat it now
Not afraid of what I say and I can see you frown
'Cause you apprehensive and you hate the way I speak it loud
