[Intro — Beat drops, ad-libs]
140 BPM, skrrt, woo
Yeah — Tamara — ah
(Ad-libs: woo, ah, skrr, no cap)
[Verse 1]
Storms hit, I stand — fire on my tracks
Night cold, heart froze, pockets full of cracks
I used to hunt love in the alley, on my own
Counting empty nights, dreaming on a phone
Then she slide through like sunrise on the block
Leaves jasmine on the balcony, coffee on the clock
Calls me Tami when the world got too loud
She hums the old song, takes the dark off my cloud
Short lines, hard hits — she clip my doubts
Smile like a beacon, yeah she lights the route
Sexy, heavy — sway like a slow parade
Body like a blessing, every move she made
(Ad-libs: ah, woo)
[Pre-Chorus — tight, syncopated]
Used to be numb — now I move in color
She my anchor, she my thunder — no other
Pray she stay, I pray she stay (yeah)
With her, I got home — I don’t stray
[Chorus / Hook — chantable, 4 bars]
Tamara — she my light (she my light) x2
Tamara — she keep me right (she keep me right) x2
(Ad-libs: no cap, woo, ah)
[Verse 2 — harder cadence, internal rhyme]
Life threw its punches — I felt every plate
Carried all its weight, now she carry my freight
Used to run the cold nights, hoodie, low keys
Now I dance in her laugh, moonlight on the breeze
She got a ritual — ring of jasmine in her hair
Leaves a note on the mirror — says "I got you, I care"
She my plug of faith — she switch the current on
Turn my gray days gold, every dusk to dawn
When I’m weak she a fortress, when I’m lost she the map
When I stumble, she catch me, close every gap
She my everything, real — no flex, no lie
Since she came through, I only aim to fly
(Ad-libs: skrr, yeah, woo)
[Pre-Chorus — build]
Pray she stay, hold her tight like a vow
I’m grateful every morning — I show her how
She the peace in the chaos, a calm in the fight
Tamara — my reason to wake every night
[Chorus / Hook — repeat]
Tamara — she my light (she my light) x2
Tamara — she keep me right (she keep me right) x2
(Ad-libs: ah, no cap, woo)
[Bridge — short, sincere, drill cadence]
From cold blocks to warm halls — she changed the scene
From lonely plate to shared meals — now I glean
I wanna grow old, watch the sunsets with her name
Tamara on my tongue, this love ain’t a game
Promise: I’m here — steady, firm, no shake
I’ll hold her through storms, through every heartbreak
(Ad-libs call-response: "You my home" — "I’m your home")
[Outro — final chant, fade with ad-libs]
Tamara — she my light (she my light) x4
She keep me right, she keep me right (fade)
(Production cue: heavy 808 slides, hat rolls, minor pad under hook)
(Ad-libs: woo, ah, skrr, no cap)
[Tag — whispered over tails]
Tamara — my blessing, my home, my flight
No cap, I’m thankful — you my light
