Prompt / Lyrics
By Mike White Cloudwalker Music (Spoken Word / Street Spiritual Performance) 🎵 Key: E minor → resolves to G Major 🎚 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
