[Intro — Spoken / Ad-lib] Yeah — listen This one’s for Liezel — name in neon (uh, uh, lie-zel) — snap, clap [Verse 1 — Laid-back, syncopated] Morning sun slides through the blinds, coffee steam like a scene, she’s quiet, serene Denim jacket on the back of the chair, lipstick mark on the mug from yesterday’s caffeine Tucks her hair behind her ear when she’s thinking, playlist on low — vinyl vintage lean Laugh like a shortcut through the city noise, small smile that docks me like a dream Soft steps on subway tiles, she counts the stops, counts the lines in my rhyme Her hoodie smells like late-night rain, a memory stitched into time I watch her sketch her name on napkins at the diner — crooked love, perfect crime Liezel moves like punctuation — a pause that makes the sentence shine [Pre-Chorus 1 — Rising] You flick the light, flip my script, flip the map, change my route You spin the track, all the static fades, no room for doubt No flashy lines, just small signs I keep in my pockets Liezel, you the chorus when the world forgot the chorus [Chorus — Hooky / Chant-like — short & rhythmic] Liezel — say my name, make the city stop (say it) Liezel — heartbeat bass, you the rooftop (hold it) Liezel — say my name, make the city stop Liezel — I love you, that’s the drop [Verse 2 — Faster, punchier, multi-syllabic flow] Block to block, footwork, heartwork, sharpwork, sparkwork Your laugh cuts through the dark like a streetlamp arc — stark work You flip a page in the bookstore, bookmarks like a blueprint of us You pick the weird indie songs, my playlists adjust, I trust Crosswalk tango, palm to palm, light goes green — we sync, extend You bite your lip when you’re lying to the wind — honest pretend Freckles like constellations on a late-summer map, I learn to navigate Quick wit, quicker comebacks — you laugh and I levitate Punchline: you stole the hoodie, I let you keep the proof Counterpoint: you keep my loose ends tied up like truth We ride stale buses and rooftop sunsets, currency of two You name a tiny coffee shop and turn the whole block into a view [Pre-Chorus 2 — Different wording / delivery, clipped] You flip the map, I follow — no detours, no front You hum my chorus — heartbeat drum, keep it blunt Small signs, loud signs — your quiet roars louder than horns Liezel, I’m listed — next to the skyline, in the morn [Chorus — Hooky Repeat] Liezel — say my name, make the city stop (say it) Liezel — heartbeat bass, you the rooftop (hold it) Liezel — say my name, make the city stop Liezel — I love you, that’s the drop [Bridge — Dynamic switch: melodic double-time / sung-rap] (Oh-oo) Night folds, neon gold, you pull me close, we fold into the glow (Oh-yeah) Fingers trace the map of your shoulder, slow then fast, tempo up, tempo This is stereo confession, vocal double on the second line We flip the phase, escalate the praise — I need you like the beat needs time [Breakdown — Short rap breakdown, space for ad-libs] Ad-lib space: (yeah) (uh) (Liezel!) — 8
