[Intro – Candles Flickering + Slow Thunder]
[Soft breathing near the mic]
Certain nights in Louisiana…
feel enchanted.
[Bass enters slowly]
Like the air itself…
got intentions.
⸻
[Verse 1]
🎶
Velvet rituals underneath moonlight haze,
Black lace shimmer through the candle blaze.
Mon cher, her silhouette moved slow,
Like swamp water after dark storms.
Magnolia perfume mixed with cigar smoke,
Whole room smell spiritually grown.
Gold teeth flash while the jazz band cry,
Like seduction itself got baptized.
She traced crosses down my chest slow,
Said:
“Cher… your soul too loud.”
I laughed low then poured more wine,
Tryna drown what survive inside.
But her eyes knew things about grief,
About Southern men and hidden fatigue.
That type intuition hit dangerous deep,
Like she read my spirit before I speak.

[Hook – Choir + Deep Bass]
🎶
Velvet rituals in the dark tonight…
Black candles underneath soft light.
Velvet rituals move slow…
Bayou hearts don’t let go.
🎶
⸻
[Verse 2]
🎶
Accordion moan through the penthouse suite,
Rain tap rhythms to the beat.
Her body warm but her energy ancient,
Like heartbreak wrapped in elegance.
I’m from where lust and loneliness dance,
Where touch become emotional medicine.
So when she kissed me near the windowpane—
it felt bigger than romance.
Flow got velvet and graveyard dust,
Every metaphor humid with trust.
I rap like the swamp taught intimacy,
Slow…
dangerous…
ceremonial.
She whispered:
“Tu me comprends…”
Like she surprised I understood pain.
I told her:
“Cher, Louisiana raise us fluent.”

[Bridge – Spoken + Organ]
Down here…
love ain’t always soft.
Sometimes it feel like:
memory…
weather…
and prayer mixed together.
🎶
Black silk move in the candle glow…
Every lonely soul need warmth.
🎶
⸻
[Verse 3]
🎶
By sunrise the room smelled like rain and roses,
Empty glasses and unfinished emotions.
She slept quiet against my chest,
Like the storm outside finally rested.
And for one second the swamp felt gentle,
Like all the ghosts stopped whisperin’.
Maybe intimacy holy after all—
when nobody pretending anymore.
🎶
⸻
[Final Hook – Full Choir + Strings]
🎶
Velvet rituals through the night…
Swamp-born hearts beneath moonlight.
Velvet rituals still remain…
Louisiana love and pain.
🎶
⸻
[Outro – Rain + Soft Accordion]
[Candles extinguish slowly]
Some rituals summon spirits.
Others…
just summon honesty.
