The Weeknd - Professional (Slowed & Throwed)

Track 1 of Kiss Land.

[Ecclesiastes]

the first half of this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard

[YAH]

A blade Runner setting to this song is actually ingenious

[oeildefaucon]

very dark, a tremendous amount of negative energy, i love it

[madness]

The intro is beautiful, the kissland era beguns

[dannydoritotm]

3:22 when your hippie best friend chants as you all hold hands in a circle to connect with your spirit animal who you’re pretty sure has been eating the grated cheese from your fridge

[liyahours]

so your somebody now but whats a somebody in a nobody town...

[nageswararao]

It's ideal, oh
You need someone to tell you how to feel
And you think your happiness is real
There's so much more the world has to reveal
But you choose to be concealed
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
I don't think you even know it
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumes you
It's everywhere you go
And just the thought alone got you trippin'
Got you losin' your mind
And I don't blame you
It's everything you know
But I, own this time, this ain't new
Now, I decide when we're through
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)
We're professional
At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)
What does it mean, oh
When your heart's already numb
You're professional
Won't treat it like it's personal
No, 'cause this is just love
It always makes its way back around
It's dispensable
To fall is unacceptable
'Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
And every day you learn about yourself
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
Depending on somebody else's wealth
But now you know the value of a dollar
And girl I make enough of it to spend
I love the way you've put yourself together
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again, oh yeah
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)
All of those nights you were up barely holding your own
Girl, you've got it made
Had you blaming yourself for when life did you wrong
Now, you've got it made
Getting rich to the drums of your favorite song
Girl, you've got it made
'Cause your freedom was here in this cage all along
Ooh, how'd you drain all the soul from your eyes
How'd you teach, teach yourself how to smile
In a world (In a world
Where your dreams (Where your dreams)
Can't be real, no
Every touch that you sell is a lie (Lie)
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)
We're professional
At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)
We're professional

[GoldenRoseRecords]

Michael Jackson sure did reincarnate into the right person

[speedbird]

This is my favorite Weeknd song. I know the songs literal meaning is Abel describing his relationship with an escort, but to me, especially in the second half of the song, it sounds like he is looking at her and her life as a prostitute and drawing parallels to his own life in the music industry
