Pre-Refrain: Anderson .Paak
Warm night, can't sleep, too hurt, too weak, gotta call her up
Dial that number, no one answers till it's two o'clock

Refrain: Bruno Mars
And if by chance, you let me come over
Out on the street, I wanna see you, baby
And if by chance, you let me just hold ya
I'm down on my knee, I wanna please you, baby
Ooh, I'll be your righteous lover

Verse: Anderson .Paak
She said, "Sugar, honey, darling"
I really wanna see you, too
(I bet you do, bet you do, bet you do)
It's just that someone's over and, baby
I really wanna be with you

Refrain: Bruno Mars
But if by chance you let me just hold ya
I'm callin', I'm free, I wanna see you, baby
Ooh, when in need, you said you would be here
And you hold the key to my very being, baby, I
(I lovе you, baby) I love you, baby

Chorus: Anderson .Paak
If you are that special lovеr
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train
Sometimes, heartstrings can be broken
But you just have to keep on going
That's the way it goes on love's train

Pre-Refrain: Anderson .Paak
On a warm night, lady wants her baby, so she calls him up
(Ah, when it ring-a-ling, it only mean one thing, come on)
Dial that number, no one answers till it's two o'clock

And if by chance, you just come on over, girl
I'm sick and, please, I've got to see you, baby
Ooh, when in need, you said you would be right here
Well, I'm in need, I need you to please believe, please believe
I love you, baby

If you are that special lover (Woo)
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train
(You don't need no, you don't need no ticket to ride, ah)
Sometimes, heartstrings can be broken
But you just have to keep on going
That's the way it goes on love's train
(Listen, baby, listen, baby)
If deep sorrow, you've been soaking
But you just have to keep on stroking
That's the way it goes on love's train
(Love's a hurting thang, yo, it makes you want to cry, come on)
If you are that special lover
And love keeps you tied to another
That's the way it goes on love's train

Outro: Bruno Mars

Silk Sonic - Smokin Out The Window Lyrics

Intro: Bootsy Collins
Wait a minute, this love started out so tender, so sweet
But now she got me smokin' out the window
Mm, mm, mm

Verse 1: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak
Must've spent thirty-five, forty-five thousand up in Tiffany's (Oh no)
Got her badass kids running 'round my whole crib
Like it's Chuck E. Cheese (Woah, woah)
Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
Can't believe it (Can't believe it)
I'm in disbelief

Pre-Chorus: Anderson .Paak & Bruno Mars
This bitch got me paying her rent, paying for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists
And here I am all alone (All alone)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here

Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak
Smokin' out the window (Smokin' out the window)
Singing, "How could she do this to me?"
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (Mmm)
But I was wrong
'Cause she belong
To everybody, everybody, ooh

Verse 2: Anderson .Paak
Just the other night, she was gripping on me tight
Screamin', "Hercules" (Hercules, Hercules)
Got me in the club looking for a new love
Someone help me, please (Help me, please, help me, please)
Baby, why you doing this? Why you doing this to me, girl?
Not to be dramatic, but I wanna die

Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars
This bitch got me paying her rent, paying for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists
And here I am all alone (All alone)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here

Chorus: Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak
Smokin' out the window (Smokin' out the window of the Benzo, the Benzo)
Singing, "How could she do this to me?" (How? How could she do this?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (One thing's for sure, one thing's for sure)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (She belong)
To everybody, everybody (Yeah, she belong to everybody)
(That girl, yes, she belong to everybody) Ooh

Interlude: Anderson .Paak
(Oh no)
Look here, baby, I hope you find whatever it is that you need
But I also hope that your trifling ass is walking 'round barefoot in these streets
Look out

Bridge: Bruno Mars
Girl, it breaks my heart that you ain't right here with me
Now I gotta give you back (Gotta give you back)
To the city, oh, you got me

Chorus: Bruno Mars
Smokin' out the window (Ooh)
Singing, "How could she do this to me?" (How could you?)
(How could you do this, baby?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (Woo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (She belong)
To everybody, everybody (Yeah, she belong to everybody)
(Yeah, yeah, she belong to everybody) Ooh

The post Bruno Mars, Wizkid, Tems Grab Wins at 2021 Soul Train Awards | SEE FULL LIST appeared first on NotjustOk.

This queen mother status was however not bestowed upon her overnight or by virtue of luck but took the toiling of a near decade-long run in the competitive Nigerian music industry. This run saw her break records to become the African female artiste with the most viewed video on YouTube and a two-time win at the MTV Africa Music Award. To attain such feats, she weaved stories into many-flavoured and dialected tunes, shattered records to and released a total of six body of works and five studio albums. 

Following the release of her fifth studio album, Empress— an ode to the multifaceted and royal qualities of Africans, we had a virtual sit down with her to get the scoop on the process of making the album, her state of mind, working with Beyonce and some Yemi Alade-infused tea. 

Empress is your 5th studio album, and the second to have a monarchical title. What was the motivation for that?

Basically, I just want people to know that for real, Africans are royalty. I use every opportunity that I get to portray that in music in style. The title itself was because I wanted to show how certain attributes like being authoritative, powerful, being loveable and being kind could all still coexist and be in equilibrium. I just wanted to show how one person could be a person of authority, power, love, and still, kindness. You know, it’s possible to have power and still be kind. 

What was the inspiration behind Empress? 

My life inspired Empress, and my view on things, whether I’m the main subject, or supporting subject or just a random third party, it’s just my view on things and that’s the inspiration. 

What do you think is different about Empress in comparison to other bodies of work?

I personally believe that every album is a little compilation of where I am as an artiste. So every year and with every album, there’s growth. Definitely, Woman of Steel and Empress, you'll see the growth in terms of choice of sound, choice of topic, delivery, melodies. You’ll see the diversities in all of these attributes that I’ve mentioned. So that’s one outstanding thing between Woman of Steel and Empress, the growth. 

So where would you say Yemi Alade is at the moment? 

I guess I’m where I need to be; I’m in 2020. I’m more unapologetic than ever, I’m even more sure of who I am as a person and an artiste. I may not know what the future holds but I’m ready for it as I am, I feel like I’m enough for the future and if there’s anything that needs to be added to that, God has me. 

Do you think this came as a result of the pandemic because a lot of artistes have been saying the pandemic blessed them with time to create. Do you think the creation of Empress was partly due to the pandemic?

The catch to it is that I actually was already recording Empress as of February this year 2020 and we had booked tickets and we went all the way to Amsterdam to go and record this album and we mixed sounds with Dutch producers. But what this Covid period did for us when we finally came back home is that it allowed us time to finally dot our ‘Ts’ and cross our ‘Is’ on the music and really listen, take time to simmer. But as far as creativity, I don’t think I record as much as I normally would because now with this restricted environment, for me, I am more inspired by my environment, being able to move around, see people, meet people, hear their stories, be in their stories. And with this restriction of movement, there’s less creativity, not like there's no creativity at all, there’s just less. 

Getting into the album, on Yoyoyo, you were like a social commentator, and you were pointing out accountability issues of young people, would you like to speak more on that? 

Even old people are guilty of this. So I literally assumed the role of social commentator, in my head. A lot of people are happening these days in the name of relationships. I think some guys just wake up one day and think I’m going to destroy about 7 girls’ lives and some women also wake up in the morning and say I’m going to destroy 5 guys' lives, whether married or unmarried, I don’t care. I think some people literally just do that, like it makes them feel good so I decided to write a song about it to tell them, ‘we see you and we hail you, we have never seen anybody like you’. 

Let’s meet Yemi Alade, Mama Africa, will fans be getting a French translated version of Empress? 

Well I’m going to have to think on that because I think I did something like that for Woman of Steel, we had some songs that were translated, Poverty and the likes. 

What language of all these languages you translate your music to would you say is your favourite? 

Oh my days, Swahili is so sweet, I could eat it *sings a line in Swahili*

Your sound is unique, what makes you make music the way you do?

I guess over time, my ears have translated music to soothe my soul and because of that, when I open my mouth, it is my flavour that you hear. You can almost say Yemi Alade is a genre to be sincere, like ‘ah, that’s Yemi Alade’s type of music!’ I am my music and my music is me.  

On Empress, you had 5 artistes featured, how did you select who to work with? 

On my collaborations, most times, I have to first be like a huge fan of the artistes and our schedules have to coincide to permit collaborating because collaborations go beyond just jumping on a song. There’s a lot of communication that will be involved, chemistry, all these things and I’m grateful that all these dots connected while trying to work with Estelle, Rudeboy, the youth choir from South Africa and others. 

Speaking of collaborations, following your appearance at the Savage concert and Tiwa mentioning a collaboration, should we have any hopes of that?

To be sincere, we’ve been getting a lot of requests to that so I’m sure that at some point, something is going to give, let coro just go away. 

What other artistes would you love to work with?

Bruno Mars.

What was it like working with Beyonce--  who you’ve mentioned as being your favourite artiste, on Lion King the Gift album?

It’s such a dream come true and to look back at the moment and think ‘wow did that really happen?’ And I’m happy that an artiste of her caliber thought it right to pay homage to Africa because a lot of people rather regard Africa as negative or put it in a negative light. 

You’re known as Mama Africa but after Black is King, some people were trying to give that title to Beyonce and we know you love Beyonce but how did that make you feel? 

Indifferent cause it’s nobody’s title to give to be sincere. I feel like every African woman is mama Africa, the minute you wake up in the morning and accept yourself for who you are, your skin, your hair, your all and you say with your full chest that I am African and proud. I don’t think it’s anyone’s title to give-- it’s not my title to give.

You have a really large presence in other African countries, was this an intentional strategy? 

To be sincere no, it just started. Even as a very young girl, I didn’t have any ankara fabric or clothes. I grew into it and I just started falling in love every day with our culture and the culture I see in every other African country. It’s just like being in a relationship, you can’t exactly say who you fall in love with, it just happens and you accept it. 

Other than Nigeria, if you could live in any other African country, where would it be?

I have two options, I’d either go to a country that I’ve not yet visited or Kenya-- I love Kenya. So I’ll either live in Kenya or I’d go all the way to Gabon-- that’s somewhere that I haven’t been before. 

Other than ‘I Chose You’, what other video should fans be expecting off the album?

I’m still confused because I’d shot some videos and some are yet to be shot and I just feel like I want a video for every song. I might be doing ‘eenie meenie miney mo’ to select, I don’t know but just expect spectacular amazing videos off Empress. 

Your favourite song off Empress?

Here’s the catch, I feel like there’s a song for every mood depending on my mood right now, I would say what I’m feeling. But in general, there’s literally a song for mommy, for daddy, for the kids, for the young boys, those who are of marriageable age, those who are married etc. And right now at the moment, I feel very chilled, I’ve had a long day so I would very naturally be listening to Ice.
