Mood

(albüm: T.A.P (Talk About Poe) - 2018)

What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip hop sound like if you couldn't say nigga?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn't say whine?
I think of dumbass shit half the goddamn time

It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o, it's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o, it's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
Yeah, yeah
It's just the mood

Wish I could pull a Frank Ocean and just disappear
Return like a sequel and dye out my hair
I'm labelled 'alternative'
'Cause the alternatives wanna be mainstream and not pioneers, yeah
I'll drop a project this year, yeah
I'll drop your budget this year, yeah
Like bungee jumping off of Eko Bridge
Just to prove I can still conquer my fears (Mood)

That's just the mood I'm in
You can assume I've been to Hell and back
Well, in fact I never leave Lagos since I got back
I pray that my sanity stays intact
I feel like profanity's all I have
I feel like I'm literally turning into a genre
'Cause lately I'm feeling trapped

Yeah, I give in to all of my appetites
And take a big bite of that savage life
And as I go deeper and deeper
It's sweeter when I mix my demons with bad advice
Okay, maybe that's bad advice
We can spark up and light a vibe

What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip hop sound like if you couldn't say nigga?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn't say whine?
I think of dumbass shit half the goddamn time

It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o, it's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o, it's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
You know the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
You know the mood I'm in (Mood)

Tonight I'm in the mood to catch it all on camera
Yesterday I felt like just another rapper
I got your text but forgot to reply
Actually, that's such a lie
I read it and thought, "Not tonight"
Instead of just sex and a fight
I would rather have a deep conversation
Right in the inner living room of my mind

Like, are half of these people really intelligent?
Celebrating that fake shit like it's genuine
That's the pot calling the kettle blacker than melanin
'Cause I too dumb my shit down for relevance
Then again that's just the way it goes
That's just the weight it holds
That's just the sacrifice
With dreams that worth twice your soul

Na so the ting (Go)
Lost in my (Zone)
It's time to come (Home)
Where do we (Go?)

What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip hop sound like if you couldn't say nigga?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn't say whine?
I think of dumbass shit half the goddamn time

It's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o, it's just the mood I'm in (Mood)
It's just the mood, it's just the mood (Mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood
