Distorted Soul Detroit

Nadir Omowale – Blue LIghts (digital single)

Nadir — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 05:16:33 +0000

A funky night on the town goes sideways when Nadir gets pulled over by the police. “Blue Lights” describes the tension as our hero wonders what will happen next. “Are you good cop or bad cop? Will you arrest me, give me a ticket, or will I have to throw down?”

Featuring Amp Fiddler, Caleb Gutierrez, The Will Sessions Horns, Christopher Spooner, Simone White, and Jeff Rebrovich.

lyrics

The Right Kind of Crazy
(Reavis Mitchell & Nadir Omowale)
She got a body like a god damn bullet train
High tech freak sex yet so insane
She stank so good pheromones of fire
And I really couldn’t get any higherShe might be out of her mind, but
She’s The Right Kind of Crazy
She might be out of her mind, but
She’s The Right Kind of CrazyI get withdrawals cause I can’t get her off of my brain
I try to kick, but I just can’t stand the pain
But when I hit it then we up till the morning
And her hot rain soothes the callingShe might be out of her mind, but
She’s The Right Kind of Crazy
She might be out of her mind, but
She’s The Right Kind of CrazyOh yeah…She went to church and they told her she was going to Hell
She called me up and said, “Baby, will you drive me there?”
We on the road to total destruction
But I just can’t ‘scape the suction

She might be out of her mind, but
She’s The Right Kind of Crazy
She might be out of her mind, but
She’s my Kind of Crazy
