about
Hauntingly sexy and cathartic, “Bit Late” is the second single released in anticipation of GRAYtheband's debut album, All Done. Featuring Edmonton-based rapper, K-Riz, the song offers a taste of Alternative R&B, Neo Soul, and Hip-Hop, capturing the allure and comfort of love in the face of anger with the world. Unbeknownst to the artists, an unmastered version of the song was found by a local CBC radio host and aired on the Key of A, revealing the force of the music.
lyrics
Bit Late
Gray W. Ford featuring Jerome Henry
I feel so excited
You’ve come; I’m enlightened
Two eyes open wide, yet
Staring through a mindset
You’ve shook, all my knowledge
Thrown debt beyond college
Old man he said, “It’s all about your weakness”
You’ve taught me that there’s more to life than breathing
Ooh I’m, feeling so violent
Ooh I, think that I’m crying
All those suckers keep trying
You and I
Why can’t it be love?
Baby
That we’re trippin’ on,
Tell me
That’s why I’m lovin’ on you
And all the things that you do, baby
They make me feel warm
Lee from the storm
That’s why I’m loving on you
And all the things that you do
They make me feel warm
Lee from the storm
Forever chasing the sunset, constantly dodging rain
The sky is the colour of cotton candy paint
Her words, like the ocean, waves curves the emotion
Pace cures the commotion
Slave to our broken places
Or maybe our open spaces?
In the sky
Attaching sun rays to your smile
Vivid in the eye of the beholder
Fascinating how the sun lay up on your shoulder
All in divine order
Stars, they shine for us
But you not the type to ever look up
Complaining how the grass ain't magic
You never took the,
time to see how love trails after how you mistook the
Storms in the past, but we need water to last
They never had an umbrella to stand with you
I understand, but to dwell, yo I can’t with you
I want the black sand on the beach
On my planet, it’s peace
And we’ll make plans when you can stand in the heat
Ooh I’m, feeling so violent
Ooh I, think that I’m crying
All those suckers keep trying
You and I
Why can’t it be love?
Baby
That we’re trippin’ on,
Tell me
That’s why I’m lovin’ on you
And all the things that you do, baby
They make me feel warm
Lee from the storm
That’s why I’m loving on you
And all the things that you do
They make me feel warm
Lee from the storm
