Lyrics by Clara Jackson

Feeling Good Today

Genres: Rap

Verse 1
Woke up smiling, ain't got time to frown
Got my whole life stacking up, building something down
Grandma's cooking, kitchen smelling like a dream
Living life in color, not just black and white, I mean
Text my girls, we laughing till we cry
Every single struggle turned to reasons why
I'm still standing, still winning, still glowing
Positive energy, that's the only thing I'm growing

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I'm feeling good, feeling good today
Nothing in my way, gonna find a way

Chorus
It's good vibes only, that's my only rule
Dancing through the day like a kid out of school
Good vibes only, keep it moving, keep it true
Nothing's bringing down this joy, nothing gonna do
Good vibes only, watch me shine so bright
Turning every gray sky into golden light

Verse 2
Started from the bottom but I never lost my smile
Every little setback, I just made it worthwhile
Got my crew around me, we all rising up
Pouring out our dreams like we're filling up a cup
Ain't no room for hate here, only love and cheer
Every day's a blessing, that's the vibe I bring here
Rap it with a smile, keep the message clean
Living out loud, that's the only life I've seen

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I'm feeling good, feeling good today
Nothing in my way, gonna find a way

Chorus
It's good vibes only, that's my only rule
Dancing through the day like a kid out of school
Good vibes only, keep it moving, keep it true
Nothing's bringing down this joy, nothing gonna do
Good vibes only, watch me shine so bright
Turning every gray sky into golden light

Bridge
No matter what they throw my way
I keep my head up, come what may
Joy's a choice I make each day
So watch me turn it into play

Final Chorus
It's good vibes only, that's my only rule
Dancing through the day like a kid out of school
Good vibes only, keep it moving, keep it true
Nothing's bringing down this joy, nothing gonna do
Good vibes only, watch me shine so bright
Turning every gray sky into golden light

Outro
Good vibes only, that's the way I roll
Joy's forever, that's my only goal

Third Floor Window

Genres: Hip-hop

Verse 1
Third floor window, watching the block wake up
Garbage truck grinding, old man walking his pup
I been sketching bars on the back of a receipt
Rent due Friday but my rhymes stay complete
Mama used to say I talk too fast for my age
Now I'm talking slow just to fit it on the page
Got a shoebox full of notebooks, ain't nobody seen
Every page a mirror of the girl I used to be

Pre-Chorus
I ain't chasing lights, I'm chasing lines
Building something real one word at a time

Chorus
From the third floor window, watch me climb
Stacking up my sentences, one line at a time
Ain't no shortcut, ain't no easy way
I write it till it's right, I don't run from the page
Third floor window, city down below
I've been quiet long enough, now watch me grow

Verse 2
Landlord banging on the door about the noise
I'm just tapping out a beat with my keys and my voice
Corner store clerk knows me by my order, not my name
Two dollar coffee while I'm building up my fame
Ain't got a deal, ain't got a check
But I got sixteen bars that I can't forget
Some nights it's just me and a cracked ceiling fan
Turning silence into something I can understand

Pre-Chorus
I ain't chasing lights, I'm chasing lines
Building something real one word at a time

Chorus
From the third floor window, watch me climb
Stacking up my sentences, one line at a time
Ain't no shortcut, ain't no easy way
I write it till it's right, I don't run from the page
Third floor window, city down below
I've been quiet long enough, now watch me grow

Bridge
They ain't seen the hours, the erased and rewrote
The nights I stayed up chasing down a single quote
This ain't about a moment, this about the grind
This the sound of patience turning into mine

Final Chorus
From the third floor window, watch me climb
Stacking up my sentences, one line at a time
Ain't no shortcut, ain't no easy way
I write it till it's right, I don't run from the page
Third floor window, city down below
I've been quiet long enough, now watch me grow

Outro
Third floor window, curtains pulled back wide
This the view of a girl who refused to hide

Gravel Road Two Step

Genres: Country

Verse 1
Truck bed full of mason jars and bad-cut hay
Radio's busted but we don't need it anyway
Dust kicking up behind my daddy's old pickup wheel
Nothing in this world could ever feel more real

Screen door slamming, porch light on
Cricket choir singing till the dark is gone
Mama's on the fiddle, uncle's on the spoons
Whole family dancing under a country moon

Pre-Chorus
Ain't got much but we got plenty
Full tank, full hearts, pockets not so empty

Chorus
Kick your boots off on the gravel road
Two-step shuffle where the fireflies glow
Grandpa's laughing, spilling sweet tea
This the kind of joy that's running free
Gravel road two-step, dancing till we drop
Out here in the country, ain't no reason to stop

Verse 2
Cousins racing barefoot through the cornfield rows
Grandma's hollering but everybody knows
She's the first one out there when the music starts
Two-stepping circles with a mile-wide heart

Fireflies blinking like the stars came down
Ain't no traffic, ain't no city sound
Just the crickets and the banjo and the beat
Of a hundred boots stomping in the heat

Pre-Chorus
Ain't got much but we got plenty
Full tank, full hearts, pockets not so empty

Chorus
Kick your boots off on the gravel road
Two-step shuffle where the fireflies glow
Grandpa's laughing, spilling sweet tea
This the kind of joy that's running free
Gravel road two-step, dancing till we drop
Out here in the country, ain't no reason to stop

Bridge
Don't need the city lights to feel alive
Just this porch and these people by my side
Every summer feels the same and that's alright
We'll be dancing on this gravel every night

Final Chorus
Kick your boots off on the gravel road
Two-step shuffle where the fireflies glow
Grandpa's laughing, spilling sweet tea
This the kind of joy that's running free
Gravel road two-step, dancing till we drop
Out here in the country, ain't no reason to stop

Outro
Gravel road, porch light glow
This the only place I wanna go
