Lyrics
🎧 SONICMYSTICS – Keep Yourself Foundations🎧
🎤**[ INTRO (spoken / chant – solo voice + percussion fade in]**
Mmm… keep yourself… yeah…
Not every plan for the people, no…
Protect your peace, protect your glow… (uh-huh)
(Ad-lib: “Yeah man — move in silence…”)
🪘 **[VERSE 1 (steady groove enters – shakers + congas + bass]**
Keep yourself to yourself, my friend,
Don’t let the noise come in again.
They don’t need to know your blessing,
Your vacation, your next thing flexing.
Move in silence, plant that seed,
Watch it grow just what you need.
Some things sacred, don’t you show,
Peace of mind will make you glow.
(Ad-lib: “Glow up quietly now…”)
🎶 **[CHORUS (call & response — add backing vocals + horn stabs)]**
Lead: Keep yourself (yeah yeah)
Response: To yourself (oh yeah)
Lead: Not every season is for display (no no)
Response: Uh-uh keep it low low
Lead: You’re not hiding (ah ah)
Response: You’re protecting (yeah yeah)
All: Foundations deep where they can’t see (woah woah woah)
(Ad-lib: “Deep roots never shake…”)
🎸 **[VERSE 2 (rhythm guitar joins – bouncy bass pattern)]**
They bring opinions, energy wrong,
Stay on your path, stay strong.
No competition, no compare,
Your journey’s yours — handle with care.
The roots grow deep, the fruit will show,
Quiet water make trees grow slow.
Talk less, feel more, move wise,
Your sunshine come when it’s time to rise.
(Ad-lib: “Rise up steady… yeah yeah…”)
🌊 **[BRIDGE (breakdown – percussion solo + vocal harmonies)]**
Don’t rush the moment, let it breathe,
Keep your blessings under sleeve.
You build your house stone by stone,
The world will see when it’s fully grown.
(Background chant: “Slow and steady, steady build…”)
🎵 **[FINAL CHORUS (full band – horns + backing choir)]**
Lead: Keep yourself (hey yeah)
Response: To yourself (ah yeah)
Lead: Peace too sacred for the group chat (you know that)
Response: Don’t show that — just grow that
Lead: You’re not hiding (ah ah)
Response: You’re protecting (yeah yeah)
All: Foundations never seen — but they stand tall (yeah yeah yeah)
(Ad-lib: “Stand tall — roots strong — never fall…”)
🌅 **[OUTRO (fade – bass + choir echo + percussion dim)]**
Keep yourself… to yourself…
Protect your soul, protect your health.
Not every season is for display,
Some roots grow deep — that’s the way.
(Final chant fade-out: “Keep yourself… keep yourself…”)
