Butter Me Up (Solid Ground)

[Intro: Warm Rhodes Piano, Soft Finger Snaps & Deep 528Hz Solfeggio Pad] (Mmm, yeah...) (Butter me up, shower me with your praises...) (Time is nothing but an illusion when I'm with you...) (Standing on solid ground...) (Listen close now)

[Verse 1: Intimate, Breathy Alto Vocals over Rhodes & Gentle Guitar] Butter me up and shower me with your sweetest praises Connect with me through all of life's unpredictable phases Time is nothing but an illusion when I'm standing by your side 'Cause everything stands still and there's nowhere left to hide It seems like the whole world stops when you hold me in your arms Safe from the cold shadows and all of the world's alarms My heart beats in perfect rhythm right alongside yours tonight Tender kisses that ground me, keeping my spirit shining bright Tender kisses that mold me into the woman I was meant to be Building a love on solid ground where my soul can finally breathe And all I want to do is take care of you, holding your hand Building our sacred home together across this promised land (Across this promised land, yeah...)

[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Stomp-Claps & Deep 808 Sub-Bass Build] When everything around me has collapsed into the dust! You are the one where I can lay my heart and place my trust! I look up at the stars above and pray that ours align! 'Cause deep inside my spirit I know you were meant to be mine! [Vocal Stutter] (B-B-Butter me up!) Drop the sweet beat!

[Chorus: Soaring R&B Belt & Full Soul Choir] Oh, butter me up! I just love when you shower me with grace! A love built on solid ground inside this sacred space! You were made for me, and baby, I was made for you! Everything we dreamed about is finally coming true! I'm convinced that every vision and every dream I had before Was pointing straight to you and leading right up to this door! Yeah, butter me up, let the sweet living water flow! We're building our family together, watching the blessings grow! (Watching 'em grow, yeah!)

[Verse 2: Cozy, Rhythmic R&B-Trap Pocket Groove] I remember the waking vision of that house on the quiet street A little girl playing in the yard where the sun and flowers meet Was that little girl ours? Is she the promise waiting in the light? Giving me a deep hope that our future is burning bright Our family is gonna grow, our love is gonna overflow Rooted in the soil where the gentle waters flow No more searching through the darkness for a love that isn't real I'm standing in the sweetness of the peace that I can feel You give me the praises that wash away the old pain and fear And every single word you whisper is music to my ear! (Music to my ear, baby!)

[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Stomp-Claps & Deep 808 Sub-Bass Build] When everything around me has collapsed into the dust! You are the one where I can lay my heart and place my trust! I look up at the stars above and pray that ours align! [Vocal Stutter] (B-B-Butter me up!)

[Chorus: Soaring R&B Belt & Full Soul Choir] Oh, butter me up! I just love when you shower me with grace! A love built on solid ground inside this sacred space! You were made for me, and baby, I was made for you! Everything we dreamed about is finally coming true! I'm convinced that every vision and every dream I had before Was pointing straight to you and leading right up to this door!

[Verse 3: Deep, Intimate Spoken-Word R&B Drop over Rhodes Piano] Maybe that's all I've been waiting for through every lonely night To find the one who grounds me and holds me in the light Waking visions turning into real life every single day Watching all the old scars and shadows melt completely away I am standing strong on solid ground, nowhere left to run And in your sweet embrace, my true home has been found! (My true home is found, yeah...) (Bring the full soul choir back!)

[Bridge: High-Intensity R&B / Soul Climax & Soaring Vocal Belt] (Let the Rhodes piano swell! Let the 808s blow!) [Full Choir Harmonies] (Butter me up! Watch the blessings flow!) [Soulful Harmony Stacks] (Ooh-yeah, loving you more and more!) We are standing on solid ground, holding onto love! (Three, two, one — drop the heavy beat!)
