Ahead of its Time

Making this well in advance of when I ask for your hand in marriage
God got a plan to carry out in this land
It's funny still as a human I'm making demands
I'm praying she has to be this fine
She has to be this tall
She has to have that smile
She has to have that walk
She has to have my back when it's pinned up against that wall
When the war comes she has to be ready to throw more than elbows
Like we're up against the whole world (Ephesians 6:12)

Because it's us against these outdated traditions
Us against invalid opinions
Us against these toxic renditions they took and they twisted
To stir up these stigmas
To burn down our village
And flourish a system that hindered our children
Promise we'll break these generational curses
Promise we'll create generational blessings
Promise we'll break these generational curses
And promise we'll create generational blessings

We don't claim poverty
We just built those properies
We don't claim divorce
We view our union as force that came straight from The Source
To show Black girls and boys
That Black Love is possible
Black Love is powerful
That equally yolked Black Love unstoppable
That Proverbs 31 noble woman is The One
Ephesians 5:25 husbands love your wives
Just as Christ loved the church until the ultimate sacrifice
Some haven't heard that out of pride

Making this well in advance of when I ask for your hand in marriage
God got a plan to carry out in this land
He tells me I have to put pride down
The weight's slowing my stride now
Just wait for her I'll find out
Why patience isn't a waste of time
I'll make mistakes then make you mine
I'll meet you when divinely guided
Heaven's hands craft perfect timing
To be honest all we need is Black Love, Black Love
That take me back love, back love
That let's get active, active
Because I'm serious about my Black Love (Black Love)
That take me back love, back love
That let's get active, active
Because I'm serious about my Black Love, Black Love
That take me back love, back love
That let's get active, active
Because I'm serious about my
Yes I'm serious about my Black Love

Making this well in advance of when I ask for your hand in marriage
God got a plan to carry out in this land
It's funny still as a human I'm making demands
I'm praying she has to be this fine
She has to be this tall
She has to have that smile
She has to have that walk
She has to have my back when it's pinned up against that wall
When the war comes she has to be ready to throw more than elbows
Like we're up against the whole world
Because it's us against the whole world
