Black Butterfly

Your the sunshine in my life
There's a black butterfly high in the sky
Your the sunshine in my life
Clarissa, better listen, in our life, nothing missing

We've been through some hard times, that's harder than metal
For the breakup didn't settle, never gave up, never let go
It's Carpe Diem to the fullest, we don't stop, we keep on moving
We keep dancing, we keep grooving, through its grace we keep on cruising

Through its grace, we're not losing, we're still growing
We still shine, we got through and you still mine
Take you back to the carousel, no fiction, no fairy tale
It's fancy like Nancy and a little doll, Marybel, Mariposa, Come closer

I got so much for ya, mujer bonita, it's so nice to see ya
Mirar, I gotta put that ring on your finger
Your style is authentic like our romance and friendship
No, I won't vacate, gotta love that can't break

Connection is strong and our foundation can't shake
Even though we free, out in the open, we butterflies that can't be broken
Even though we free, out in the open, we butterflies we can't be broken
Clarissa, better listen, in our life, nothing missing

We've been through some hard times, that's harder than metal
For the breakup didn't settle, never gave up, never let go
It's Carpe Diem to the fullest, we don't stop, we keep on moving
We keep dancing, we keep grooving, through its grace we keep on cruising

Through its grace, we're not losing, we're still growing
We still shine, we got through and you still mine
Stay high off your love like the sky is above
My beautiful butterfly, it's nothing like black love

And we are not at the bottom of the totem pole
I know that deep down in my soul
The true God placed you in your brown skin
And gave you the heart in your chest that is pounding

My black people, you can't denounce that
We're so resilient how we bounce back
Be happy who you are, you a shining star
With the wings you've been given, you can fly far

Even if you take a cut or you take a hit
My queen, you got them wings that can't be clipped
Don't trip when they smile and they give you lip
Stand firm on his word and don't take a sit

They just haters cause you moving up like elevators
And you don't need an escalator or an elevator
You got them wings that fly high, that's how God made you
Smile in your face but they hearts frozen

Seven years at your job and no promotion
Racism still exists, I ain't even joking
Threw a couple of blows but you ain't even broken
I got a warm bubble bath you can soak in

You not a cage bird, never could be closed in
Hold your head up high when you go in
I roll my sleeves up butterfly, I fight for you
And make hits like the songs that I write for you

My black butterfly, you can't be broken
You can't be broken
Clarissa better listen, in our life nothing missing
We been through some hard times, that's harder than metal

For the break up, didn't settle, never gave up, never let go
It's Carpe Diem to the fullest, we don't stop, we keep on moving
We keep dancing, we keep grooving, through his grace we keep on cruising
Through his grace, we not losing

We still growing, we still shine
We got through and you still mine
You coming up with the quickness, handle your business, handle your function
Don't let anyone tell you that you won't amount to nothing

You are wonderfully made, Corrine James
You been blessed with a fire no one can put out the flame

You a winner from the starting gate, it ain't hard to tell

You shower with me, with your love I'm on cloud nine
For those don't believe in love, they so blind
Of course you and mommy daddy best friend
Our relationship is sweet, and will never end

Don't fear little one when things seem bleak
Jesus will give you strength when you feeling weak
Let Him comfort you when you feeling pain
When your heart hurt and your eyes rain

Psalm 139.14
Intricate butterfly with them gorgeous wings
Fly high, fly, fly high
Keep flying, keep flying

Black butterfly
There's a black butterfly high in the sky, fly, fly, fly
There's a black butterfly landing on the flower
You're the sunshine in my life
