(Verse 1) 
 
On a cold dizzy lifeline, 
You were not to be seen. 
It’s just you and your boyfriend, 
He is causing a scene. 
I ask him to leave now, 
Get out of my house. 
But he looks me up and down, 
You scurry like a mouse. 
 
See, this guy is controlling, 
But you don’t give a fuck. 
You don’t care that you’re hurting ones you love just to make a buck. 
Mama sits on her rocker, 
Staring me in the eye. 
I tell her, “mama I just don’t know, 
What to do with guy the guy.” 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Welcome to real world of modern living. 
It’ll kill your vibes, 
Might break down your hive. 
We’re having so much fun while we’re modern living. 
Mammy, please don’t go. 
Dad, I love you so. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
There she glimmers on her Beamer, 
Black, came with a bow, oh. 
Her sweet sixteen, it was alright, 
Didn’t go to L.A. though. 
But then daddy comes in, 
Sweet credit card. 
He makes everything so better, 
These tough times are hard. 
 
Mama and daddy are fighting, 
I hang out with myself. 
I’m trapped in between a world that’s full of anguish and fury of hell. 
I cannot escape it, 
I cannot steer the wheel. 
So here I am, lying in bed still and I have no appeal. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Welcome to real world of modern living.

The Wait Game

By Annabel Chima

This lyric conveys the emotions of waiting for something to arrive whether that be a relationship, a call, a business deal - something you have yearned for and wanted for a very long time. It's the uncomfortable but needed period of waiting for it that brings meaning when it finally arrives. The atmosphere is very hopeful, a little sad, but ultimately, sentimental. Genres: RnB, Pop, Neosoul, Hiphop It will fit perfectly in the aforementioned genres.

If You Leave Me

By Brian Hendrix

For the first part of 2021 here, I've really been stuck in a very classic-country phase in my writing. Not intentional; it's just the way they're coming out. So this is one in a style that you might expect to hear on the radio in the '50s. It's basically just a guy's rhetorical note to his woman, reminding her that she loves him and shouldn't leave him.
