December Flow by Nana Akyen

Описание: **December Flow (The Only Joy)**

The only joyous moment in my life is in December.

Yo, check the calendar, yeah, the pages turnin'
Eleven months of struggle, the fire still burnin'.
The grind is heavy, the weight is on my shoulder,
Another year older, felt the world get colder.
But when the first of twelve flips, yeah, the energy shift,
Suddenly my spirit gets a welcome little lift.
The streetlights shimmer, a different kind of glow,
Like a silent promise that the seeds I planted grow.
The air is crisp now, feel the harmattan breeze,
The scent of pine needles and ancestral ease.

I see the children runnin', their laughter rings true,
Forget the bills, forget the drama, for a day or two.
This ain't just snow and tinsel, this is a mind reset,
A time my worries take a back seat, I ain't sweatin' yet.

Oh, December! The rhythm of the heart,
When the light comes through the darkness, tearin' it apart.
Gotta throw my hands up, let the negative go,
Shine your light, yeah! Let the good energy flow.
From the first star glistenin' to the final embrace,
This is my holy season, I'm keepin' the pace.

See my people gatherin', the kitchen's full of steam,
Talkin' 'bout the future, livin' out the dream.
No time for the fake love, only genuine connection,
Underneath the mistletoe, showin' my affection.
The playlists hittin' different, from Biggie to Burna Boy,
Every single beat drop bringing me so much joy.
I'm wearin' my freshest fit, gotta step out clean,
Feelin' like a king, the most important scene.
We breakin' bread together, thankful for the blessing,
This feelin' right here, man, there is no contestin'.

I see the children runnin', their laughter rings true,
Forget the bills, forget the drama, for a day or two.
This ain't just snow and tinsel, this is a mind reset,
A time my worries take a back seat, I ain't sweatin' yet.

Oh, December! The rhythm of the heart,
When the light comes through the darkness, tearin' it apart.
Gotta throw my hands up, let the negative go,
Shine your light, yeah! Let the good energy flow.
From the first star glistenin' to the final embrace,
This is my holy season, I'm keepin' the pace.

I know the clock is tickin', the 31st is near,
The pressure of the New Year, bringin' back the fear.
But right now, in this moment, yeah, I'm standin' tall,
Prayin' for the feeling, hopin' it won't fall.
Gotta bottle up this feeling, this peace, this grace,
Carry it with me when I leave this place.

Yeah... thirty-one days of freedom, man.
The only one that matters...
(Final words, spoken softly over the fading beat)
I wish December could stay.
