Love & Happiness

by Amani O+

about

Love & Happiness is the 1st single from my 2nd mixtape, "The Gift & Sabotage." As the follow-up to my previous release, "The Midnight Gospel," it continues the journey I've been learning to prioritize myself.

This is the 3rd song on the mixtape, which chronicles me waking up to the nonsense, gaslighting, and mistreatment I'd been experiencing in my situationship, calling it out and declaring something different for my future.

Leaning on the wisdom of Elders (Auntie) and the iconic Al Green sample I've put together a twerk track that has at least one line everyone can relate to.

May We All, Have Reciprocity & Accountability in Love. May We All Release Our Inner Urge To Move To Good Music.

lyrics

(Happiness)

Auntie said Mani
Dont break yo back
You ain't gotta beg Baby
They gon call you back
If they wanted to
Beloved Boo
And that's a fact
Say the actions is the loudest
And the rest is cap

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock
If you got a bit of bootie
Then I got a little bop for it

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock
If you got a big ol bootie
Then I got a bit of bop

Ahhhh nah
Dont make no sense
Make me feel a type of way
Like Bubba n shrimp

Took his ass for spin
Came out in the rinse
Had me chasing waterfalls
Now he got it on mince
Fuck em love him suck em good
Treat em like he a prince
Two novas in the room
You know we gon connect
Call you on ya shit
Now you quick to deflect
Say that I'm yo Block Buster
Now I'm pressin' eject

I cannot
Logic ya love

I cannot
Logic ya love

Roll with drop it
Lean with it rock
If you got a gotta bit of bootie
Then I got a bit of bop for it

Got a bit of bop for it
Got a bit of bop for it

Got a bit of
Got a bit of
Got a bit of bop f-

Resolving conflict
That was how we met
Healthy conversation
Now it’s on regress
I can't believe you said I use emotions as weapons
But all I did was hold a mirror up and call you in
I guess ya didn't like the prototype n reflection
Ya pick a fight
Ya gaslight
Bae ya exhausting
Yo
A week ago you got off being my addiction
But 1st you hot and then you cold
Revoking my subscription
Coo
And I resent you
Thought heaven had sent you
But then you went and spent yo days
Making me feel
Hella buzz killed
It's elemental
Said I'm punishing you
How?
By speaking my truth?
What else you said now?
I'm accusing you?
And something about correction?
Officer who is you?
Should've really got to know you before calling you Boo
Shoulda really got to know you before calling you Boo

Uhh
Auntie said
Dont break yo back
You ain't got to beg honey
They gon call you back

My new one did the most
Just to get me to blink
Left a Fkboy feeling thirsty
Cuz he know I'm the sink

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock

If you got a bit of bootie
Then I got a bit bop for it

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock

If you got a bit of bootie
Then I got a bit bop-

Don't make me
The villain of yo story
Lucky that you caught me on my way to the top
Effervescent but of present all the bubbles have popped
Guess I'm learning more discerning
When I'm pruning my crops
Sport mode on a Croc
Let 'em bring in the mops
Cuz the way I rock my drip
I'm gon tsunami the drop
Try to fix it you flop
Going forward I'm not
Overworking, undeserving
Less you water my crops

How did I get here?
Got me singing in shower like
How did I get here?

Listen, you not even 'posed to be here

Got me asking round the hour
Like How? Like how? Like how? How? How? How?

Run up on the border like fuck yo fence!
His charm’ll have you farming for some recompense
Let's do an easy check
No need to redirect
This the same Black body that you swore to protect
Tell me
How much more gentler
Boo I coulda been
When I gave yo ass the benefit again and again
If we cut our losses now it equal out as a win
And tell the Uni that I learned
and I won't do it again
I cannot logic yo love

(I can't make no sense of it)

How did I get here?

How did I get here?

Had me singing in the shower like
How did I get here?
(Auntie) Send me some sweet after the sour!

Auntie Mani said
Dont break yo back

You ain't gotta beg baby
They gon call you back
If they wanted to
Beloved boo
And that's a fact
They say that actions is the loudest
Otherwise it's cap

Auntie said Baby
Dont break yo back

You aint gotta beg Honey
They gon call you back

My new one did the most
Just to get me to blink
Left a Fkboy feeling thirsty
Cuz he know I'm the sink

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock-
If you got a bit of bootie
Then I got a bit bop for it

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock-
If you got a big ol bootie
Then I got a bit of bop for it

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock-
If you got a bit of bootie
Then I got a bit bop for it

Roll with it drop with it
Lean with it rock-
If you got a big ol bootie
Then I got a bit of bop for it

Yes
