Rap Day #16 Cleo Sol - Why Don't You

Cleo Sol is a West London Native that has been part of the UK music scenery since her teens. She can be identified by her soulful beats and her heartfelt, honest lyrics. Cleo Sol is not an artist that chases after the big music charts. She is a woman that enjoys the small pleasures in life. It is known that instead of grinding through the music industry, she likes to dedicate her time to travelling and her family. Keeping the motif of the last #RapDays, in Cleo Sol you can find a mix of styles and genres. In "Why Don't You", her style can be identified as a popish R&B with some undertones of jazz.

As you might have noticed by now, I have been sharing a lot of songs from the same YouTube channel. Colors is a channel that has the philosophy of not marrying a genre and sharing all kinds of music. Furthermore, they realize that each artist is like a unique color. I think it is a great place to get to know artists. As guests, they have had very established and recognized artists as well as not so known or new ones. I suggest to take a look at it!

Lyrics:

Why don't you just let go
And quiet down your ego
Don't complain about finance

I know your Daddy weren't a real man

Go ahead and live your dreams
To me you're stronger than a whole team
I know you can't relax, and you don't want me to know that

I see you work real hard
You wanna help your friends, but trust me baby
You don't owe them
Don't take on people's problems

I wanna see you smile
Even when you think I'm angry
It's true it might take a while
But it's between you and me

Where's some? Where some? Oh no

I know you check my texts
Don't you worry about my ex
I might be on his mind
But I never reply

Remember all the weekends
I said I'll make some changes
And you said you'll do the same thing
And I don't wanna fight my king

I had you when you was weak
You caught me on my knees
Don't pressure me for some kids
And I won't pressure you for marriage

I know it's never the right time
But we gotta do things on our time

Sometimes I still doubt myself
But at least now I love myself
And I am quite emotional
That's why you can't get close at all

So I start to push away
The ones that love me cus I'm scared that they might walk away

I'm not perfect
So I try every day and I grow a little bit
Read a little more so I can educate my fears
Reap for my soul and cleanse my spirit
Pray cus I'm ready for the bloom of the sea
Peace and serenity is all that I need

Sometimes we fall in love
Love is always enough

Sometimes we fall in love
Love is always enough

Sometimes we fall in love
Love is always enough

Where's some? Where's some? Oh no

Eat
Pray
Love
Grow

Eat
Pray
Love
Grow
