just watch what you say at the end of the day that shit will come back triple times unto you (x3)
you know dat I, smile now, cry later thru the pain Cubana link just like my chain, hatched from an egg in the forests of rain,
you seen my eyes glow in photos pero why I don’t have to explain
shout out to the big shawties; still tryna feel comfortable in their bodies and who have been forced to work through the shame,
sometimes its too bright up here turn down the lights up here not gonna act like I’m not still afraid
cuz I’m dat creature of the night who keep it tight I beg your pardon; got da earthly delights and I gave you the keys to the garden;
But I should have known that if you picked a rose an pricked your finger I'd have to watch in horror as you burned down everything I started; stay guarded, I’m dat trailer trash lookin upper echelon; Brazilian body wave bbw lookin like a fat Marpessa Dawn;
keep on living in your white house but
how many bodies are buried beneath the foundation it was built upon?
(chorus)
I will do what I, can for you,
not much to say but I’ll pray cuz the
gods have a, plan for you
promise them you’ll make it thru the day
and I know, you got a long way to go, viajes el camino,
el camino x 2
but if it gets too rough you can just take it slow
catch me at the function tryna do a line of some melange
spice in ya device
Florida water in my bag on some solange
cuz I spray it don’t say it
I was born by the river but I
try to keep it wavy cuz my god got a durag on
I wade into the water wearing red and black
Maybe hold my breath a bit too long cuz I dunno if I wanna come back,
but still I rise, I know the tide won’t hold me
so why am I imprisoned by what mortal men have sold me?
because I’m, tall and tan and young and lovely
I gotta remember that on da days I'm feelin ugly
I still got times it feels like there is no one that could love me but I know dat my ancestors do below and so above me
Elegua I salute you as the owner and the elder of the crossroad,
Orfeu Negro come straight out da grotto if you ride wit Guayaba win da underworld lotto
you only live once don’t look back dat’s da motto
(chorus reprise)
