Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance,
Look how I do
Hey Now look how I walk,
Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance,
Yeah I been down for a long long time it's time to get up again
Imma showem what's up again
Imma showem it's luck again
They talkin about me, I'm rocking with God everyday
Everyday when I wake up I pray
I just pray for a better new way
Look at the wave I started
Back then used to live retarted
Back then used to live, I started
Chasing my walk with God
I'm all in, I'm all in, I'm ballin
I'm on the roll just like Spalding
I'm in the road I kill my old self,
I put my old self in coffin
Look how I did it real often
Hey Now look how I walk,
Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance,
Look how I do
Hey Now look how I walk,
Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance,
My name is new
My purpose stay the same
cll things through you
Even when I go through pain
I need is you

Hey Now look how I walk,
Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance,
Look how I do
Hey Now look how I walk,
Hey Now look how I talk
Hey Now, look how I do my dance

Hey now,
Letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now,
I can feel my instincts here for you
Hey now
By my bed for you, hey now,
Hey now
Ooh ooh, you know it is frightening
Ooh ooh, you know it’s like lightning
Hey now, now
Hey now,
Letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now,
Leave it to the wayside like you do,
For you
Imagination calling mirrors for you
Hey now,
Hey now
Ooh ooh, you know it is frightening
Ooh ooh, you know it’s like lightning
No no no no
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

First heard this in Bali eight years ago. I was a few cocktails deep and the DJ was just incredible. When he played this I was absolutely frothing at how good it was. Never heard a DJ drop it since. ❤ Lovely memory.

That’s the deepest track I’ve ever heard. Every time I play it it brings me straight to my soul and I’m ready to surrender. Every sound touches me for the first time and I’m ready to forget about every past love and focus on the present on my self love and how much I can give..
