Lyrics

Looking out over the valley
Heavenly bodies surround me
My essence dripping with magic
Humbled cause I understand it
Expansion thru time n’ space
Influence the human race
Utopian mind state
Reality I create
Naturality I embrace
In earthen scents that permeate
From the cauldrons of grandmothers
Casting spells that lead the way
Choose carefully what I say
Speak in chants that liberate
Written and spoken rhymes;
Energy that vibrates
Free to fee the sun on my tits
Melanated and sun kissed
In the Badlands with some fresh new kicks
How beautiful is this
She younger than me but she still my Big Sis
Bring out my inner bad bitch
Whisk me away on a summer road trip
Smooth grooves while we cruise
Through hoodoos, no voodoo
But what we do
Ain’t nobody’s business
...ain’t nobody’s business
Caught me lookin a little rough
But she say I’m still mad cute with the Afro Puff
That’s what’s up
Enhancing my sense of self-love
Have some fun, crawl in the mud
“Ahh”
Let this oxygen into my lungs
This the real me, one I don’t have to cover up
Unpack outdated resistance to freedom
Like where did these thoughts even really come from?
It’s kind of dumb for us to care about how they react
To the fact that maybe all they see in me is Black
When I know there’s so much more to me than that
Climb out of caves of old behaviours
With my dignity intact
Stronger, better, faster every time I bounce back
But you know that...
I ain’t sorry for revelling in this glory
Tap deeper into my story
No one else can tell it for me
My people really adore me and
When the weather gets stormy
I know that I’m never lonely
When the weather gets stormy
I know that I’ve got my homies...
