Wunderlan (feat. Aniya Teno & Ahnia Leary)
Fast
I often think about the fight of the Black Man,
Told by the world he can't think like others can
Eat and drink where others can, shackled by his feet and hands
No village, no image, what it means to be a man
Another being half goddess half human
The healer, the holy, the sacred Black Woman
You had your head on a swivel
Waiting for life's unapproval
One day one day you'll see
You don't need no love but your love
Your love
White clouds in your brown eyes
Brown skin in the sunshine
And the water feels just right
U were made to touch the sky u were made to fly
And the roots down under call to you
They say "face the world in front of you"
"We gon hold you tight"
You got it you got it
You got it you got it
I've been fighting these demons
Won't make it past the season
Tears, sweat, and blood I'm bleeding
Someone give me a reason
And I don't know what to believe in
Demon's fiending like Eve when the apple swinging low
Odds are I'm betraying your wishes, and I ain't even know
I'm Judas wit the shit, you been eluding to this shit
Life ain't tailored for a nigga, I ain't suited for this shit
Won't be the man I'm tryna run from
I'm flipping over stones, pick up the phone to call my loved ones
Reborn to Wunderlan, and now the future gon be undone
I've just become one, but gon be touring out in London by 23
100% black in the genes so come and fuck wit me
Used to hate that fact, but now I'll say I'm black triumphantly
My people's pockets peter griffin, money in abundancy
So suddenly, I'm changing up my path, don't need no summary
Uhh
I know my life been very ugly
Regret the times when you was low and I was fussing
Regret the white lies, now can you really trust me
Regret the moments I ain't cherish back with us three
Shit
Or back with us
But imma do it better now, hope you can trust
So fuck my greed, and fuck my pride, and fuck my lust
I wanna be the me I was 'for he was crushed
You had your head on a swivel
Waiting for life's unapproval
One day one day you'll see
You don't need no love but your love
Your love
Used to think my life was a mistake and a Calamity
I been working hard to get this money for my family
Seat up at the top is where a nigga always planned to be
Making it past all the tribulations Satin handin me
And learned forgiveness
I learned forgiveness for myself
I learned people was around that actually cared bout how I felt
I ain't learned to take off time but least I care about my health
Learned the answer to the questions momma asked when I was twelve
Your son is young, black, an educated
Fully melanated
Head and shoulder bove the clouds so now I'm fully elevated
Black and Wunderful you called me, so this albums dedicated
Said there's one day out of 365 that I'm celebrating
April 20th, 1975, the day you arrived
The first tattoo I got in my life
I always look down to my wrist when I feel pain or feel strife
And then I look up to the sky and know it's gon' be alright
Yeah
You had your head on a swivel
Waiting for life's unapproval
One day one day you'll see
You don't need no love but your love
Your love
White clouds in your brown eyes
Brown skin in the sunshine
And the water feels just right
U were made to touch the sky u were made to fly
And the roots down under call to you
They say "face the world in front of you"
"We gon hold you tight"
You got it you got it
You got it you got it
Telephone ring, ring, ring
Hey Aaron it's your mom
Calling to let you know how proud I am of you
Every time you are on the way to the studio
Or in the studio
And um
I'm just so proud
Of, how you are so focused
To do what you love
Shackled by his feet and hands
No village, no image, what it means to be a man
Another being half goddess half human
The healer, the holy, the sacred Black Woman
Blessed to be the chosen one to bear children
Sold as slaves across waves of ruin
I wanna see the rise of true Black family
Oozing with the tools to be all we can be
Have you ever wondered of a God given place?
Where we don't have to hide the pride of our race?
Led to the mountain top like Moses
Sittin on thrones at home covered in roses
I wanna sit like kings and queens with wings
And fly to bigger and better and brighter things
Too, you think you got it?
I often think about the fight of the Black Man,
