Quarantine Mixtape, Vol. 1
100 Angels
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
My God, lost a lot of light
Gone to the tossing, turning night
Had a bit too much, I had to numb myself to the touch
Into the sun
Gotta tell you how this all began
Dreamed to life
I won't do it again
Don't got the minutes to spend
I want to feel it all
I'm gonna make time and space bend
I am ready to be open hearted
I am ready for the change I'm starting
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready
I am ready to claim the harvest
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
Grew up in a situation gave me my current vision
Can't deny in conversation god given miracle
Hey, my momma was in trouble Back in 94
Lived in San Diego watched over by the spiritual
Aunt in law, Lois, had her concern
Ready to go flying nun on the double
Our neighbor, real nun, unwilling to burn
Belonged to a parish far from concrete jungles
Together conspired over the phone
Watching out for lil me and my mother
Sister Mary like Maggie Dafoe
Sensed evil crossing along on the horizon coming
Told my aunt "Lo, time to fly out now"
And a few months later Lois got us out,
I became a ward of the state of California
Without that nun we might have really been goners
But here's the reason I'm telling this story
Lois wanted to thank Sister Mary
But by the time Lois arrived in California
Sister Mary had moved out her apartment
So my aunt went to the parish
Sister Mary said she belonged to
The members of the parish said
We don't know who you refer to
There's no Sister Mary here
There's not even a record of a Sister Mary being here
My aunt said so who was woman watching over
My sister in law and her son. Huh
I think I had a fraudulent nun watching over me
Or a genuine guardian angel
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
They still tryna find me, but I'm also tryna find me
Space cadet losing time, floating in place
Weaving in and out
Unsubscribe me from the rat race
Left, right, and center
Topsy turvy Zoom to the upside down
Screen time's driving me mental through empty cities but we're sailing through on miracles
A hundred prayers answered
A hundred thousand more we thought ignored
These challenges are blessings in disguise
Wit a hundred angels each, we're never bored
Angels' blessings in the lessons
That leave you crying on bathroom floors
Fingers smudging over pixelated faces leaves us sorely aching for more
More hugs and connection
More physical affection
Facetime, Zoom time
What's time anymore
Isolated, senses tingling
Phantom limbs, ears ringing
Delayed laughter
Weak connection
Demons cackle bout our dejection
But Depression can't try to get me when I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels with me
So it cannot catch up wit me
Yeah World's been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
Miracles and angels in New York City
Miracles and angels in New York City
Miracles and angels in New York City
Miracles and angels in New York, New York
Miracles and angels in New York City
Miracles and angels in New York City
So they cannot catch up wit me
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
It's about to be a miracle
They been tryna get me but I'm riding through the city wit a hundred angels wit me
