Artist: Blakk Pot (pure English reggae dance hall)
(Intro - Spoken, with deep echo and vinyl crackle)
Blakk Pot... select the riddim...
Unconditional... un-attached...
Can we be loved without the chains?
Let the truth flow... yeah...
(Verse 1 - Smooth, reflective flow)
Can we be loved without attachment?
Without the contract, without the fragment?
Love me for who I am, not I am
Not the image, not the program
When the money run out and the car park empty
When the looks dem fade, will your heart still tempt me?
Or is this love just a fair-weather friend?
That vanish when the storm begin?
(Pre-Chorus - Building tension)
I will understand you more, love you more
Through the silent war, through the open door
But the question lingers in my soul
Can you love me same and whole?
(Chorus - Uplifting, harmonic cry)
Can you love me same and whole?
Beyond the flesh, beyond the role?
When my strength is gone and my story old
Will your love still hold? Will your love still hold?
Can we be loved without the chains?
Without the pleasure, without the pain?
Just two hearts beating in the rain
Love me whole, love me same... yeah!
(Verse 2 - Deeper, more vulnerable)
Will you stay when I am broke?
When I can't afford the words you spoke?
When the crown fall off and the glory fade
Will you recognize the man I made?
Not the superstar, not the stage light
But the broken soul fighting in the night
If I lose it all, would you still call?
Or is your love conditional after all?
(Pre-Chorus - Repeat with emotion)
I will understand you more, love you more
Through the silent war, through the open door
But the question lingers in my soul
Can you love me same and whole?
(Chorus - Full dancehall energy)
Can you love me same and whole?
Beyond the flesh, beyond the role?
When my strength is gone and my story old
Will your love still hold? Will your love still hold?
Can we be loved without the chains?
Without the pleasure, without the pain?
Just two hearts beating in the rain
Love me whole, love me same... yeah!
(Bridge - Half-time, heavy bass, spoken-sung)
Love without condition...
That's the only prescription...
No attachment, just vision...
Seeing the soul, not the position...
If you can't love me at my lowest
Then you don't deserve my highest
True love is the quietest
It stays when the fire dies... yes!
(Outro - Ad-libs fading with reverb and delay)
Love me whole...
Love me same...
Blakk Pot... tell dem...
When the beauty fade...
When the money gone...
Still standing... still loving...
Unconditional...
Yeah... yeah...
Can we be loved?
Can we be loved?
Blessings...
