about
Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer Floyd Miles has established a noteworthy trajectory in his musical journey. With two solo projects, “No Place Like Om” (2022) and “Save Yourself” (2019), alongside a collection of Afrofusion, Electronic, and House singles. Floyd Miles has continuously pushed the boundaries of his artistry.
Now, driven by a desire to delve deeper into the realm of Rhythm and Blues, Floyd Miles collaborates with Houston, Texas rapper, Stoppa to share ‘Maybe’, a narrative that resonates with early R&B and Hip-Hop nostalgia.
‘Maybe’ is told from the masculine viewpoint, exploring lessons in love, emotional intelligence, discipline, and self-awareness. Floyd Miles seamlessly weaves emotion and intellect into his songwriting, captivating a diverse audience through his lyrics and relatable storytelling.
Sonically, ‘Maybe’ embodies the essence of classic 90s and 2000s R&B, characterized by deep bass and a slow tempo. Floyd’s smooth vocals coupled with Stoppa’s Southern cadence and their clever wordplay, create an immersive listening experience. When analyzing the lyrics, there lies a profound spiritual message.
The song confronts the complexities of male-female dynamics, offering a nuanced perspective on relationships and personal growth. The opening lines, “Maybe I do / think about you sometimes / but not enough to hit your line,” serve as a sarcastic response to his partner. In the aftermath of a romantic ending, it is natural to reminisce. Yet, the masculine in this narrative acknowledges this and refuses to allow his feelings to be manipulated or controlled. Despite their shared history, he remains focused on his commitment to personal discipline and purpose.
Reflecting on the song's essence, Floyd Miles shares, “If we are not careful, we can be controlled by our sexual desires and attachments, which never ends well. Although he can't help but be a man and think about and appreciate the good times, he is careful to not let it cloud his judgment of his future. He is at peace with them moving on if that's where the journey has brought them.”
lyrics
Maybe I do
Maybe I do
Think about you sometimes
But not enough to hit your line
Maybe it’s true
Maybe it’s true
In a different life time
Maybe you could’ve been mine
But we’ll never know we’ll never know
It’s time we let it go just let it go
Your love
It went from edibles to fentanyl
I’m good
To be manageable
You need tangibles
But in my defense
When you see that body can you really blame me
And I don’t regret a thing although you gave me every reason
I’m leaving in my Mercedes
Girl how could you hate me
But in my defense
You the one that used to hit me on the daily
I can’t front I’m back on bullshit lately
While i'm smokin on this tree you tryna shade me
Trying too hard to hate me
Yea well fuck it I’m jaded
Or maybe I’m just too tired of the way
Your emotions switch up when we in each others faces
I always thought giving love was contagious
Always thought it'll be reciprocated
My dawg just said she was gon need saving
I took the cape off I was feeling too courageous
Back on my vibe yea I’m back on my shit again
I’m on the road like I’m Michelin
Bigger Benz
GLE truck what we sitting in
I can’t let no bitch fuck up my discipline
I’m in your city
I been gettin chauffeured
Might send a text just to pull up and show ya
A nice lil flex just to show you it’s over
I’m still in my feelings
I’m still tryna grow up
We only get older
I know that you miss me
I know that’s you that’s been callin unlisted
Thought shit was real how we fall out from distance
In two different cities I still stay consistent
Back to the mission let’s count up the racks
I like my 50’s and hunnids in stacks
I’m reminiscing lil baby relax
Maybe I’m cool
Maybe I’m cool
Cool with how this ended
Girl we should both be fine
Maybe I should
Maybe I should
I should be offended but that would be a waste of time
It ain’t have to be all that
It ain’t have to be all that
Girl you know
I don’t really bleed like that
I don’t really bleed like that
Girl be gone
Maybe this good for us
Girl enough is enough
You just been doin too much
Doin too much
But in my defense
When you see that body can you really blame me
And I don’t regret a thing although you gave me
Every reason
I’m leaving in my Mercedes
Girl how could you hate me
In my defense
You the one that used to hit me on the daily
I can’t front I’m back on bullshit lately
While I'm smokin on this tree you tryna shade me
Trying too hard to hate me
Maybe I do
Maybe I do
