Love Rebuilt My Heart (Bang Bang)
Bang Bang (She Lit Up My Light) Intro Bang… bang… Bossman… Hook Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, she shot me down Oh, she shot me down There goes my heart There goes my heart, my heart She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light, oh She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, bang, bang, bang She shot my heart She shot my heart, oh She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light, yeah She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light Verse 1 You walked in calm, I was living too fast, Counting every dollar, never healing from my past. East to the heart, now we’re crossing every line, Different roots, same rhythm, your soul danced with mine. Every conversation turned pain into gold, You gave my story warmth when the nights felt cold. I was too busy chasing what I thought was success, Building up a kingdom while my heart wore a vest. Educated, elevated, always on the move, Never knew real love had nothing left to prove. Every scar became a lesson, every loss a guide, You saw the man beneath the armor I would hide. Bridge Children of Africa, born beneath the same sun. I came here seeking hope; you were born where hope had won. Your parents knew a journey my family understood too. Different beginnings, but the same resilient truth. From the same East African sun, Different flags, one resilient flame. From Africa to Dallas, destiny drew the line. Two stories moving closer, waiting on the perfect time. Different schools in Denton, Different dreams to defend. Close enough for fate to whisper, “You’ll meet in the end.” You became the muse that taught my voice to sing, The peace that let my hands discover paint again. You came like a comet through the gravity of my pain, Turning darkness into colors I could finally explain. Now every painting, every lyric, every dream I start Carries little pieces of the rainbow from your heart. Hook Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, she shot me down Oh, she shot me down There goes my heart There goes my heart, my heart She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light, oh She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light Bang, bang, bang, bang Bang, bang, bang, bang She shot my heart She shot my heart, oh She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light, yeah She lit up, ignited my light She lit up, ignited my light Outro (Spoken) I’ll always remember those drives… Bob Marley on. Smiling for no reason. Our own little punky reggae party. Thank you for reminding me how to laugh. Bang… bang… She shot me down… She lit up… Ignited my light… Before Shamy my soulmate and equal… Circa 2004 Coppell Texas My Honey Bun rescued me from loneliness Found me crying in a crowded church Mourning a friend gone too soon My best friend and confidant for many years to come Became a love of spirit and heartfelt kindness Healing my heart, but we had to part Time and separated by state lines couldn’t keep as afar Truly loved her the most and felt her the longest Through two decades in between relationships with others We rarely fought since we last parted as teenagers deeply in love without a care or thought How the world always tried to keep as part Closure came later alas An ending I reckon with both accepted but did not deserve With children our connection made easy we thought But my heart still breaks And hers did ache for longer than I realized She was my best friend and longest lover to date May she live long and prosper Before my friend became my high school sweetheart I found myself crying again without her in sight Despite the tragedy of young love forced apart I found my second and most cheerful girlfriend to love whom I … Met in the shadows, heart heavy, no light, Sixteen with a dream, we were lost in the night, Kiki in my mind, she was more than a friend, In a world full of chaos, she helped me transcend. Called me lips, yeah, she saw through the mask, In a foster home, love was all we could grasp, Whispers in the dark, secrets shared in the cold, Teenage hearts aching, but our story unfolds. System broke us down, but we built from the pain, Memories like raindrops, falling down like shame, Promised we’d escape, but the walls kept us trapped, Love in the cracks, where the silence was mapped. Now I'm haunted by echoes of a youthful embrace, Time moved on, but I still see her face, Broken hurts linger, like ghosts in the night, Kiki, my first love, forever in my sight.

Hi, pardon me for the random message - I had to reach out because I saw great potential in you. I went through your profile and I was really impressed. From what I saw, I honestly think you’d be a perfect fit for the project I’m currently working on 💯 I can’t really explain everything here, so what’s your number, so I can text you with more details?
