Strawberry
Strawberries have seeds you can see on the outside
On a orange cloud in a yellow chariot I've seen them
It seems then that we've touched
Embraced
Hand planted on back
Planted in past
Rooted in future
May my seeds be free to be
I dream
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
The light was red so I instead walked to you
I stepped out of time
How'd you get so big?
Matter fact, how'd you get here at all?
Such a flawless withdrawal of laws
This encounter, it charges my heart
Your mama and I we have called upon God
For guarded arrival - no drama, no harm
As long as it wasn't like mine
But it looks like you breathing just fine
I imagine my Grandmama did this with me
So I jump in her sleep and I'm hitting repeat
Covered by prayers from deep
Don't worry, you'll see
They gon try to Venus Hottentot you
Or tell you what is possible
And death'll try to mock you
But you got Life up in your nostrils
My dream for you is you'll be unconfined
I pray the Lord your soul design
I cross my heart and I hope to fly
Back to these skies, before your time
Like la
La la la la la la
(La Laaaa la laaaa la laaaa)
Tell me, tell me how I'm gon live
Tell me, tell me who I'm gon be
Show me, show me love and protection
Tell me the stories of my family
Tell me, tell me how I'm gon look
Tell me, tell me what do you see
Show me, show me love and affection
Tell me I matter, that I am unique
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
That red light disappeared like
No stopping for us, it's a sign
How'd you get so big?
Matter fact how'd you get here at all?
This encounter is (aww) I'm enthralled
And I'm looking at you, here you are
Your body is prolly a target and I tried to stop it
I promise it aww
Your mama and I, we went through it ourselves
We know just what it's like to be dark
No matter what things fall apart
Let nobody dishearten your spark
I imagine my Granddaddy did this with me
So I walk with his feet till the cyphers complete
Covered by prayers from deep
Don't worry, you'll see
It's going to open up, pouring love
Water droplets to you be a sea
They gon try to New Jim Crow you
And play by ghost rules
Work on your post moves
Center on where the ghost rules
My dream for you is you'll be unconfined
I pray the Lord your soul design
I cross my heart and I hope to die
Before you, lord let him see 25
Like la
La la la la la la
(La Laaaa la laaaa la laaaa)
Tell me, tell me how I'm gon live
Tell me, tell me who I'm gon be
Show me, show me love and protection
Tell me the stories of my family
Tell me, tell me how I'm gon look
Tell me, tell me what do you see
Show me, show me love and affection
Tell me I matter, that I am unique
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
That red light is green now
It's only a matter of time
I ran into you in a purplish blue
The hues and views sublime
Your eyes and your shoulders were mine
Now you're vanishing, fading in light
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
Was that you who was crossing my mind?
On a orange cloud in a yellow chariot I've seen them
It seems then that we've touched
Embraced
