Open Mic Night Lyrics: March 8, 2023

“I’m Good (Blue)”, by Bebe Rexha and David Guetta

I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best f***** night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best f***** night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

Don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

You know I'm down for whatever tonight
I don't need the finer things in life
No matter where I go, it's a good time, yeah
And I, I don't need to sit in VIP
Middle of the floor, that's where I'll be
Don't got a lot but that's enough for me, yeah

'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best f***** night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

I'm good, good
I'm good
Don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

So I just let it go, let it go
Oh-na-na-na-na-na
No, I don't care no more, care no more
Oh-na-na-na-na-na
So come on let me know, let me know
Put your hands up, na-na-na
No, baby, nothing's gonna stop us tonight

'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best f***** night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright

“50 Million Reasons”, by Daniel Trush and Gerry Powers

All the things that I can do

Might be invisible to you

Even if you’re looking right at me.

It’s kind of strange, it’s complicated

But sometimes I feel so frustrated

If someone doesn’t see the things that I could be

When my point-of-view is ignored

My heart and mind go unexplored

And I feel like a small boat lost at sea

I have gifts you don’t know about

Which aren’t too hard to figure out

If you would spend a little time with me

I’ll give you fifty million reasons why

We should open our hearts and our minds

To a community with so many hopes and dreams

If understanding and compassion

Suddenly became the latest fashion

How beautiful, all the world would be

Criticism that’s constructive

And opinions that are productive

Encourage all things that are well and good

Remove the dis from disability

And open up a world of possibility

To those who only want to be understood

People like us aren’t going away

Our numbers are rising everyday

We live nearby, in your neighborhood

If you talk to us, you might discover

That we only want to be treated like others

We’d change a lot of things if we could

I’ll give fifty million reasons why

We should open our hearts and our minds

To a community with so many hopes and dreams

If understanding and compassion

Suddenly became the latest fashion

How beautiful, all the world would be

Share a laugh, share a song

I want to feel like I belong

Listen to me,‘cause I’ve got something to say

If you share your talent or your time

Try to keep an open mind

‘Cause I didn’t choose to be this way

I’ll give you fifty million reasons why

We should open our hearts and our minds

To a community with so many hopes and dreams

If understanding and compassion

Suddenly became the latest fashion

How beautiful, all the world would be

“65 Degrees and Sunny All Day”, by Daniel Trush and Gerry Powers

Living in this big, loud, busy town

We are always in such a hurry

Some of us are way too tightly wound

Our minds are full of stress and worry

When the tough day is over and the work is done

Forget about the madness and sadness

Gotta shake off the tension and have some fun

Bring on the laughter and gladness

Chorus:

Let the music take you to a better place

Let it put the smile back on your face

Let it pick you up and carry you away

To 65° and sunny all day

Busting a move makes you feel so good

When you get down on the dance floor

It’s expression that's never misunderstood

Like an eagle your spirit will soar

You don’t ever need an invitation

Admission is always free

So boogie down and join the jubilation

Fun is a guarantee (Chorus)

Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!

Come on people feel the vibration

Come and join our celebration.

Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!

Happy land is our destination.

Smiles and joy are the foundation.

Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!

Chorus

“Feeling Good”, by Nina Simone

[Intro]
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel

[Refrain]
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good

[Verse 1]
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

[Refrain]
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

[Verse 2]
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world, for me

[Bridge]
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

[Refrain]
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me

“Jamaica Farewell”, by Harry Belafonte

Down the way
Where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down the way
Where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

“Brown Skin Girl”, by Beyonce, SAINt JHN, and Wizkid

Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
Never trade you for anybody else
Singin' brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I never trade you for anybody else, singin'

She said she really grew up poor like me
Don't believe in nothin' but the Almighty
Just a likkle jeans and a pure white tee
She never did forever be nobody wifey, yeah
So while I may not pretty boy, your heart is amiss
Play it like a villain 'cause she caught in a wave
Tonight I am walkin' away
9 to 5 mind, on the grind, yeah, yeah

Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me
I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me
Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly
If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me

Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
Your back against the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say
Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
The best thing inna di world
I never trade you for anybody else, say

Pose like a trophy when Naomis walk in
She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin
Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in
Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in
I think tonight she might braid her braids
Melanin too dark to throw her shade
She minds her business and wines her waist
Gold like 24k, okay

Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
Your back against the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say
Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls
The best thing inna di (about the) world
I never trade you for anybody else, say

Oh, have you looked in the mirror lately? (lately)
Wish you could trade eyes with me ('cause)
There's complexities in complexion
But your skin, it glow like diamonds
Dig me like the earth, you be giving birth
Took everything in life, baby, know your worth
I love everything about you, from your nappy curls
To every single curve, your body natural
Same skin that was broken be the same skin takin' over
Most things out of focus, view
But when you're in the room, they notice you (notice you)
'Cause you're beautiful
Yeah, you're beautiful

The men dem gon' fall in love
With you and all of your glory
Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story
Keep dancin', they can't control you
They watchin', they all adore you
If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told you

Brown skin girl (brown skin girl)
Ya skin just like pearls (brown skin girl)
Your back against the world (oh)
I never trade you for anybody else, say (no, no)
Brown skin girl (brown skin girl)
Ya skin just like pearls (brown skin)
The best thing in all the world
I never trade you for anybody else, say

Brown skin girl
Your skin just like pearls
The best thing in the world
I never trade you for anybody else, singin'
