๐ Lyrics
I don't want to chill
But I keep getting these tracks
So I ease back
And breathe raps
Like a slow burn
Meditative
Contemplative
I say it's prayers
I know it's many layers
When music hits
It can leave craters
Far enough away
You could see a face in it
Mask or an image
I'm tracing the imprint left
And never get it quite correct
It's just a breath
On the nape of your neck
At best
We all long to connect
Like spirit and flesh
With no restrictions
It's not about sex
But could be too
I want to stand in my truth
Naked and bare
Totally cared for
Sacred and rare
With a nature to share
Some can't handle the glare
And that's fair
I am daring
Can be too much
I don't rush
Maybe I'm not easy to love
Or I set myself up
With high expectations
That no one can touch
But I feel it in friendships
Feel it moments
And feel beautiful
When I am seen in wholeness
A sensuality that I believe my home is
But some days
I still feel homeless
Even in my own house
So I get out
And dream as loud
As my body can project
Unprotected
Vulnerable
Respected
Feared and admired
But rarely met
We are all at our best when connected
Just watch for sharp edges
When involved with reflection
Black love
I don't gotta explain too much
My folks got my back like no one does
Something bout loving you in our native tongue
Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from
I love the way my name feels in your mouth
I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud
I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us
Something bout your happiness feels like freedom
Black love
I don't gotta explain too much
My folks got my back like no one does
Something bout loving you in our native tongue
Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from
I love the way my name feels in your mouth
I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud
I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us
Something bout your happiness feels like freedom
Black love
What it means to me
The thought of lighting up this mystery
Told me to forget and turn the page
But another Horn keeps calling out my name
I can't explain
How it must feel to stand
On the grounds I heard was the Motherland
Well my shaky self got so much to learn
Half of me is unaware of what makes her
Look in the mirror
Physical traits I can't relate to
In my everyday places that I go to
Sometimes I cross paths with my sister
Eyes lock and recognize one another
And that's truth and love and light
Angel sent to let me know that it's alright
Time will come when the moment is right
To be bare open-hearted with all sides
Black love
I don't gotta explain too much
My folks got my back like no one does
Something bout loving you in our native tongue
Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from
I love the way my name feels in your mouth
I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud
I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us
Something bout your happiness feels like freedom
Black love
I don't gotta explain too much
My folks got my back like no one does
Something bout loving you in our native tongue
Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from
