Elderberry (feat. Teefa & Frayne Vibez)

Rhymefest:

Grandma was the Elderberry

Sweet like 14th of February

Raised 5 kids out east by Gary, then raised they kids, thats who reared me, then raised my kids legendary every body Grandmother ain't Tyler Perry

Big and Hairy

Dignitary

Jesus Mary

She prepared me

-NiNi can you hear me?

Even though you left I can feel you near me

Everybody wanna act so sincerely

I can hear the flap of the vultures near me

I can see a crack in the culture clearly

Ridin' on the back of a ultra theory

Cryininalapofaghosttohearme

I can draw a map to the closest memory

Deaths a mystery

rest is history

breath is with me

Essence hit me

bright and misty

intimately

Definitely

then she kissed me

(Vocalist) - Frayne Vibez- (Chorus) I can feel your soul right over me, when I'm all alone you're all I need,

It's your love, it's your love.

I can feel your soul right over me,

when I'm all alone you're all I need, It's your love, it's your love

Teefa:

My Auntie and Granny was diDerent women,

some even say I'm the spitting image, as a shorty you gave me the wisdom knowledge, learned more from you then I did in college,

Kissed my kids in the baby carriage,

Finally can deal with the pain and bare it,

Made a king heir first then I made an heiress

Royal bloodline they inherit,

Gave me life so I see clear

Without you we wouldn't be here

The time we had, was the best of years

Man I wish God would've kept you here

You gave me strength, so I left my fears,

The wind blows, I know it's your breath I hear.

I miss you everyday in every way,

You're my well, the spring, my Perrier

I cried when you gave me your negligee

I would've paid for an extra day,

I get mad so you told me take an intermission,

You taught me how to get it, when I'm in the kitchen

No wonder you must've had an inner vision

Cuz every time you talk I would tend to listen,

Your picture in the frame I hug on the low tho'

I still feel your love thru the photo

(Vocalist) Frayne Vibez - (Chorus) I can feel your soul right over me, when I'm all alone you're all I need, It's your love, it's your love

When I'm trapped and there's no where to hide, It's memories of you where I confide,

It's your love,

It's your love

We don't yet exist in the imagination of this century and we cannot aDord to play games, there's too much at stake.

But there has to be a way to do what we do and survive which is to me what seems to be missing

Sweetheart, Sweetheart- our ancestors taught us how to do that
