Black Love (feat. SoulChef)

I don't want to chill But I keep getting these tracks So I ease back And breathe raps Like a slow burn Meditative Contemplative I say it's prayers I know it's many layers When music hits It can leave craters Far enough away You could see a face in it Mask or an image I'm tracing the imprint left And never get it quite correct It's just a breath On the nape of your neck At best We all long to connect Like spirit and flesh With no restrictions It's not about sex But could be too I want to stand in my truth Naked and bare Totally cared for Sacred and rare With a nature to share Some can't handle the glare And that's fair I am daring Can be too much I don't rush Maybe I'm not easy to love Or I set myself up With high expectations That no one can touch But I feel it in friendships Feel it moments And feel beautiful When I am seen in wholeness A sensuality that I believe my home is But some days I still feel homeless Even in my own house So I get out And dream as loud As my body can project Unprotected Vulnerable Respected Feared and admired But rarely met We are all at our best when connected Just watch for sharp edges When involved with reflection Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love What it means to me The thought of lighting up this mystery Told me to forget and turn the page But another Horn keeps calling out my name I can't explain How it must feel to stand On the grounds I heard was the Motherland Well my shaky self got so much to learn Half of me is unaware of what makes her Look in the mirror Physical traits I can't relate to In my everyday places that I go to Sometimes I cross paths with my sister Eyes lock and recognize one another And that's truth and love and light Angel sent to let me know that it's alright Time will come when the moment is right To be bare open-hearted with all sides Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities and heals where I'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope I hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love
