🎚 Tempo: 86 BPM
🎧 Time Signature: 4/4
1️⃣ INTRO — “Too Dark in Here”
(Ambient crowd + low bass hum)
“Lighting it up — lighten it up in here.
It’s too dark, I just can’t see.
Who’s in front of me? Look at me, look at you…
all I see is eyes and teeth. It’s too dark here!”
(Electric piano + low sub bass)
“Light it up, come on, let’s walk.
It’s too dark — time to go home.
This kind of darkness can take your breath away
if you don’t pay attention.”
2️⃣ BUILD — “Pay Attention”
(Kick drum heartbeat + warm organ pad)
“Did you say your prayers before you came out today?
Were you planning on owning the day… or the night?
This could be your last night —
the breath can walk away, the body can drop.”
Choir (soft echo):
“Darkness can take your breath away…”
3️⃣ MAIN — “Breaking News”
(Drum groove, congas, low synth layer)
“Too much darkness in here —
let’s get to that light within!”
(Broadcast tone, vocal effect)
“Breaking, breaking, breaking news — ooo yeah!
Look — that’s breaking news!”
“You need to recognize who you are,
who you stand for,
and who walks with you, talks with you.
Picture that breath in the morning —
helps you look in the mirror.
Without His breath, you wouldn’t exist.
That’s what I mean by lighting up.”
4️⃣ BRIDGE — “Recognize Who You Are”
(Pull drums back — piano + organ)
Choir hum (soft): “Ooooh…”
“Some of y’all caught up in the party —
doesn’t
have to be the drinks,
just the people hanging around the darkness.
Duh! Stop it.
Both of you look like two nuts
going head-to-head, toe-to-toe —
till one cracks.”
5️⃣ CLIMAX — “Stay Enlightened”
(Full rhythm section — bass, drums, choir, organ)
“Let’s not go that far — stay enlightened.
And lighten up! Come up — light it up!”
Choir Response (call & response):
“Light it up! Come up! Light it up!”
(Energy peaks — MJ-style power gospel groove)
6️⃣ OUTRO — “Reporting Peace and Joy”
(Music fades to warm piano + soft choir hum)
“Oh yeah — sing up!
Mike White Cloudwalker… oh yeah, come on with me!
Ooo o.oo oooh yeah!
Mike White! Mike White! Come on!
Cloudwalker said… Mike White Cloudwalker!
The food smells good — let’s go!”
(End chord resolves E minor → G major. Choir fades with hum of “ahhh…”) Whip it up o oh oh
Lighting It Up” right now? Decide decide Now
Let's go eat
