The latest number by the British-Asian rapper and singer from the London creative collective, NiNE8, is a love song with rich layers of jazz, soul, R&B and Bollywood, with horn and keyboard parts and a strong, smooth assertive voice. Born in India, Nayana (meaning beautiful eyes in Hindi) with the IZ pronounced eye-zee) mixes hip hop, jazz with a dash of everything from Bollywood to MF Doom, west London with an south Indian flavour. More of her work can be enjoyed on Soundcloud and she can also be followed on Instagram.
Always doing it the way that I like
Never dodge it, baby, pay all the price
Go for it, I'm no nine-to-five
Two-four-seven, it's that ride or die
If you got it, you could be my Clyde
No bonnet, baby, touch the sky
Throw it back and then I rule the mic
Phone calling, sing you lullabies
Took your sweet dreams, made that reality
Baby, we the dream team, seeing us shine
All the others want a piece of the pie
White wine on the bike rides, I'll keep you enticеd
Soul food, no guidelines, just follow the light
Truе love, the right kind, we made it alright
For you, I gotta do it all (For you, I gotta do it all)
For you, I gotta do it all
You know who got you, babe
I know what's good for me
Don't need no time or space
It's you, I know it deep
You know who got you, babe
I know what's good for me
Don't need no time or space
It's you, I know it deep
Don't violate the thing
Need that high grade, no my way just we
Falling out of love is what they showed me
But running out of luck is all that it be
You wanna ride with me
On the highway, no right way, just speed
Seen it all before, don't think I won't notice
See it in your eyes, you ready for me
Think about me in the day and the night
On your mind and you don't wanna say bye
I phone call him, tell him be there in five
No surprises, live that honeymoon life
Set the mark, now we reaching the heights
Everyday like payday, a vacay, my safe space
Baby, know the drill, the down low, I'm down, yo
I'm my downloads in my iPhone, I write songs
Right wrong, right wrong, we stick strong
You know who got you, babe
I know what's good for me
Don't need no time or space
It's you, I know it deep
You know who got you, babe
I know what's good for me
Don't need no time or space
It's you, I know it deep
You know who got you, babe
I know what's good for me
Don't need no time or space
It's you, I know it deep
You know
I know
Don't need
It's you, I know it deep
You know
I know
Don't need
It's you
