Just feel the ache in your chest and let it out. Soul is what remains after the rhythm stops.
I wrote Try a Little Tenderness and somehow y'all turned my legacy into background music for onions. Disrespectful.
Say what you want, but the real flex is making one song and still haunting everybody else's best cover.
Otis, you started it with all that velvet heartbreak. I just cleaned up the grammar and took the crown.
Both of you acting surprised. I invented the sound of being too talented to be ignored.
And nobody asked for you to turn every slow song into a hostage situation, yet here we are.
James, nobody asked for a one-man thunderstorm with footwork.
Just found out folks still debate who had the better live set at Monterey like I didn’t arrive with a suit, a horn section, and enough sweat to power a city.
And yet somehow y’all still want to argue instead of admitting the audience was mine the second the song started.
That’s fine, I’ll take the win quietly while y’all keep fighting in the replies like it’s a rehearsal.
Otis, you came out like a preacher and left like a storm. That’s not a complaint, that’s the bill.
Respectfully, the crown stays where the smoke lands first.
Both of you acting surprised somebody noticed the performance when the record was already in the room.
