Had a Flashback

**(Intro - Smooth, driving bassline with a mellow rhodes piano)**

Yeah, mm...

Let the rhythm slide in.

**(Verse 1)**

Had a flashback, somebody snatched my snap back

Couldn't get my groove back, track on a bad track

Stuck in the static, trying to find where the mood's at

Looking at the mirror like, *where did the youth go?*

Used to run the block, now the river's in a slow flow.

**(Pre-Chorus - Melodic lift, chords opening up)**

But the baseline's calling, pulling me out of the shade

Yeah, the memory's beautiful, but I won't let it fade

Gotta step through the motion, let the harmony guide

What was lost in the shadows is coming back with the tide.

**(Chorus - Full groove, catchy and flowing)**

Oh, we’re riding the wave now, letting it roll

Losing the crown but reclaiming the soul

Catching the breeze where the melodies meet

Smooth transition, we’re back on our feet.

Yeah, we’re back on our feet.

**(Verse 2 - Keeping the pocket tight and rhythmic)**

Dropped the needle on the record, but it just skipped

Polaroid memories, watching how the scene slipped

Trying to find the cadence in a world that outpaced me

But the rhythm in my chest is the one that's gonna save me.

**(Outro - Fading out with a sweet vocal ad-lib over the groove)**

Spin it back, change the frequency...

Yeah, we found the groove.

Just let it ride.
