bless. 03:49
Dance in the sunlight dine with the moon Bless all the shades of her skin every hue Muse of the shamans wine like voodoo Bless all the shades of her skin every hue (2x) Dum-duh-dee match her beat she move passionately It shows Dum-duh-dee let her speak she be your rhapsody She knows The laws of man Used to make me rebel Against you against you Still you lent your hand And saved me from myself Jah bless you Jah bless you Lost and unlost a bijou from the vaults of heaven Do-do-doo-do Do-do-doo-do Hidden in plain sight holding up half the sky in each arm Do-do-doo-do Do-do-doo-do Dance in the sunlight dine with the moon Bless all the shades of her skin every hue Muse of the shamans wine like voodoo Bless all the shades of her skin every hue (2x) Play that guitar Remind them of who they are Yeah Uno, dos, tres Dum-duh-dee match her beat she move passionately It shows Dum-duh-dee let her speak she be your rhapsody She knows She can’t be tamed You’ve just fanned her flames all along You don’t want smoke Across the globe Beauty don’t fade she’s outlasted the shame and the scorn Lifetimes ago Live and let glow All this hate over braids that box Leave em high and dry beef ain’t worth the sauce Soul stay in the black let them lie their loss You the alpha dog trust you paid the cost ‘Cause won’t a black girl do it (Wait a minute) Pop out on em just to prove it (Hey they livid) Both hands together pray to the Lord Talking all five mics straight from The Source you better go off Você é a resposta às minhas presses A esperança que eu pensava ter sumido Você é benção, a nossa benção Você é benção, a nossa benção Dance in the sunlight dine with the moon Bless all the shades of her skin every hue Muse of the shamans wine like voodoo Bless all the shades of her skin every hue (4x)

(Rxme) You wear it on your skin Tattoo They ain’t been where you’ve been Tattoo You took a walk through Eden and you ate from the tree Now you got Pandora’s Box written all on your sleeve All they can see is the story that’s been told by your scars And all your trauma they can’t see you for the flower you are But we won’t let ‘em hold you down or put you back in the box Tell em unlock your hands but keep their hands out your locs We taking it back, your tattoo is your story to tell Let ‘em that this is your life they can’t have it to wear (vsn) Press your flower between the pages Of the ages Hope to save it But when you pick up where you left off it’s changed it’s Something else Like yourself Moved a star to hide the truth Took you far from what you knew Run to your dreams Stacked the cards and let you choose now you’re Left with scars you can’t remove The hurt is permanent Ink their sins on your skin trapped you in What the sun gave taught you only one may survive Come undone deep inside Whole life riding on this tattoo (On this tattoo on this tattoo) Don’t you know you’re whole life riding on this tattoo (On this tattoo on this tattoo) Can’t you feel your whole life riding on this tattoo (Play by their rules all you do is lose) Got to know your whole life riding on this tattoo Feels like shibuya We’re lost in the future Used as a muse For all our abusers The past is a tumor Fed by a rumor Comparing our hues But black’s always smoother That’s permanent Ink their sins on your skin trapped you in What the sun gave taught you only one may survive Tears keep you moisturized Moving like your whole life riding on this tattoo (On this tattoo on this tattoo) Gotta know know you’re whole life riding on this tattoo (On this tattoo) Whole life riding on this tattoo (Play by their rules all you do is lose) Don’t you know your whole life riding on this tattoo Press your flower between the pages Of the ages Hope to save it But when you pick up where you left off it’s changed it’s Something else Like yourself Covered from head to toe in designs so divine but the meaning has bled How far we’ve been misled Art etched onto your flesh Don’t you know your whole life riding on this tattoo Gotta know know you’re whole life riding on this tattoo Got to know your whole life riding on this tattoo Your whole life riding on this tattoo (On this tattoo on this tattoo)

crave. 03:46
Oh your body language Speaks in tongues they can’t decipher Take a shot, but you don’t chase it Pick and pop off your desire The way you looking at me you’re over the tease It’s time to leave Sucking your teeth I see you drip then tighten your grip but you start to slip A smile lines your lips cause you know I got What you crave your Every wish is my command get whatever you want Blow the candle out your cake girl Let me rain check all your plans take the night take your soul (2x) What you crave Got in spades Body cues Imma follow through with (4x) Look at me when you Go Don’t hold it Go You psycho You like to cap like you’re aggressive Love a girl who want the smoke (ooh the smoke) But you forget I am obsessive So keep that energy you spoke of when you put your hand on my throat ‘Cause I have to do what you asked me to Hit it till it breaks watch your body wax and wane I be giving What you crave your Every wish is my command get whatever you want Blow the candle out your cake mama Let me rain check all your plans take the night take your soul (3x) Look at me when you Go Stay focused Go Don’t hold it Go Fiending for reason to mash up Go What you crave Got in spades Body cues Sink into the mattress I lick my fingers of the fruit You watch it The sound of rain it makes you passive Tomorrow you’ll be free to move I promise

Something deep inside that you won’t say Can’t explain it words don’t make it add up to All your memories lost in thrown bouquets Sprayed your mind with pesticides it made you forget Your petals don’t define what you can be No With roots deep in the shade what light can reach How can you grow When all it rains is lies You twist against your own vines and bloom at night You’re everything they contrived Pick a fleur move a star who you were ain’t what you are no more But still I pray for Flowers Oh Oh (2x) I pray for you Oh Oh (2x) Search for the flowers Oh Oh (2x) I search for you Oh Oh (2x) They cut you deep ripped you right from the ground To say you’re prettier in a vase Burning our tree nature she can’t make a sound The change ain’t worth the dollars it takes Lost and unlost Can’t be your fault Holding in thoughts that would shatter glass ceilings What were you taught Beauty is flawed but if flaws come from God Then there is hope for Flowers Oh Oh (2x) There’s hope for you Oh Oh (2x) Search for the flowers Oh Oh (2x) I search for you Oh Oh (2x) Pulling hard on your locs and your limbs Trine break what lives within they want What we grew from the root for their kin Fertile soil looks like your skin Can’t ignore the details You breathe life, and leave trails You breathe life, and leave trails Of flowers Let your light bloom like a flower child It’s only Suzie's on my side best believe Not gon hold you this a promise I keep Her skin shines in broad daylight can’t you see it The crown of flowers on her head Black lives they mean the world is on our side best believe Not gon hold you this a promise I keep Our skin shines in broad daylight can’t you see it The crown of flowers on our heads Our lives they mean the world wants more Flowers Oh Oh (2x) wants more of you Oh Oh (2x) Searching for the flowers Oh Oh (2x) Searching for you Oh Oh (2x)
