Beautiful
Yano
If I could write a letter to John Lennon it would sound like this
In the line for Freddie Mercury to sign my shirt
Playing Harry Belafonte after Sunday church
It's like New Orleans, and I'm with BB King
Ayo I grew up on Pac and Papa and Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Kurt Cobain
What if Aaliyah never got on the plane
And I got hear Prince sing a song in the purple rain that would have been
Beautiful
Yeah that would have been beautiful
So beautiful
Beautiful
If I could see
TLC with Left Eye now that would be
Like Bob Marley in '76 that's legendary
The record says the best days will always be right here and now but so close to yesterday
I press play on that Isaac Hayes
I got miss Anita Baker in my DNA
Cos mama raised me on that soul food and that won't change
I'm at the cross roads and I forgot to look both ways
What it's like to be a household name
Brenda Fassie on a plane to the United States
How I wish that I could do a tour with the Commodores
I've been going through some bull, music is the matador
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock in '69
And Elvis playing Vegas for the last time
I know a whole lot of greats, look, but Sam Cooke was more than just a name in the book
Man his music was
Beautiful
Man that music was beautiful
So Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Now I wanna show you
How we used to kick it in the old school
Everybody just
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
And we go like
Hay, Ho
Hay, Ho
And we go
Hay, Ho
Hay
African fresh prince
