Slide Into Power

(Track 7)

Key: G minor
Tempo: 85 BPM – smoky, strutting groove with slide guitar undertones
Vibe: Smooth confidence, blues mastery, claiming strength without raising your voice

[Verse 1]

Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm
I ain’t loud, I ain’t fast
But I outlast what never lasts
I don’t shout, I don’t strain
I let my rhythm do the reign

Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm
You play bold, you play loud
But I move quiet through the crowd
Ain’t no thunder when I take my hour
Just a groove that slides into power

[Chorus]

Eb – Bb – D7 – Gm
I slide into power, not into rage
I don’t scream—I turn the page
Don’t need a fight, don’t need a tower
I just move with grace… and slide into power

Eb – Bb – D7 – Gm
No sudden moves, no grand parade
Just slow burn steps the shadows made
While they talk, I devour
That’s how I rise… and slide into power

[Verse 2]

Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm
I don’t chase the flashing light
I work the edges outta sight
Where the blues gets in the bones
I plant my flag and claim the throne

Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm
You don’t see it, but it’s mine
That subtle shift, that creeping line
The ones who last don’t cower—
They learn the art… of sliding into power

[Chorus – Repeat with build]

Eb – Bb – D7 – Gm
I slide into power, not with a bang
Just with a note that softly sang
While they flex, I empower
Every quiet inch that slides into power

[Bridge – Spoken softly over vamp]

Cm – D7 – Gm
It ain’t about the noise you make
It’s the silence you reshape
Ain’t about the praise or hour
It’s the soul that slides… into power

[Final Chorus – Call and response idea]

Eb – Bb – D7 – Gm
I slide into power (slide it in slow)
Don’t need no crown (already know)
From whisper to wave, from dust to flower
That’s how I bloom…
That’s how I slide into power
