WILD
[verse]
​
I just wanna let you know that I see you
beyond what the world be on
maybe no one took the time to read you
ain’t nothing deeper than what’s on your pages
it may be too deep for these times and places
and people
in the chaos, inside the tsunami
your still waters peaceful
so I be front row to see all of your sequels
you know what you are
there ain’t no equal
greatest gift of all
you vibe in your freedom
man, I love to see it
I know your language
speak it how you speak it
roar roar
​
​
[chorus]
​
wild thing wild thing
run free
spin yo' circles
it's your world
don't change, don't change, no
wild thing
you gone find your way
gone live your life
wild thing wild thing, thing
​
[b section]
you’ll find a thousand lil ways to thrive
you'll be appreciated in your time
up with the sun, howling with the moon
the moments you really know that you're alive
now I know why, why
you deserve the stars up in the sky
now I know why, why
[vamp]
colors, brilliance
divine invention
born genius
what a feelin
heaven livin
I’m the witness
every minute
I feel it, I get it
​
[verse]
​
I see the vision
I got the ear, I got the ear
when nobody listening
I be tuned in
to the step in yo' rhythm
to your realest intentions
so you know you're heard
It’s a lonely world where we livin'
remember you're cherished
So I be right there to see all of your eras
fly your banner, wear your antenna
roar
when you need to eat
you go and be the beast
whatever you is
you go and be it free
whatever you is
​
[chorus]
​
wild thing wild thing
run free
spin yo' circles
it's your world
don't change, don't change, no
wild thing
you gone find your way
gone live your life
wild thing wild thing, thing
​
[bridge]
wild thing
wild wild thing
[b section]
you’ll find a thousand lil ways to thrive
you'll be appreciated in your time
up with the sun to get it how you live
them moments you really know that you're alive
you got that fire sparkin' up inside
I know your power, baby you my kind
now I know why
[outro]
you can't your fire
wild thing, thing

SCENE: Jungle/rainforest. I haven’t decided what story I want to tell with this visual, but I’d like to paint a vivid picture with rich, deep shades of green and blue.
This would be a great opportunity to embody the animal by experimenting with body paint and nature-inspired camouflage.
The Artist’s ode to those rebellious and free spirits.
​
I am often deeply impressed by the authentic and untamed nature of the people I encounter as I make my way. Those who make their own rules and refuse to conform. Indeed, as I recognize those qualities in myself, “Wild” is a type of encouragement and appreciation I’d like to receive more of. So I put it out into the universe for us all.

Martinz Beats’ original production drew me in, but I layered “jungle” sound effects at certain points for added texture and atmosphere.
