I would try something so refined
To help me clear my mind
If I can sing, I can rhyme
If I can sing, I can rhyme...
I was born into a special place
Where you and, you and I...
And I would never say goodbye...
The night, denied
The night, denied
The night, denied
I can't deny the things I felt that night!
Lost in the night I am like neon lights across the city,
They see the talent, say they want it, say its very pretty,
Investigate the hateful eight, get in the nitty gritty,
Famously too witty, Princess Solo Space Committee,
You stay with me, imagine things so simply,
Ferment myself like kimchi, I am lit but done so dimly,
Sincerely must confess, Ive been damned but I stay bless,
Nevermind my minds a mess Im the messiah unlike the rest,
Live to aspire to the best - youre upset, caress the feeling,
I speak to you the truth and offer you spiritual healing,
Shunaji through the ceiling, cant weigh the shit Im dealing,
The mood is on the move and while its crude its always thrilling.
Too keen to be in between and when Im not Im the beginning,
Im the mother to my children, on the road a lonely pilgrim I stay with it,
You got your ticket check my flow cause its exhibit A, stick to the script
And in the end I pick the final take...
You and I are like the pretty pictures
That I've sown in my eyes
Just to see you one more time
I want to see you one last time
Come on!
You are the gracious I would like to be
The places I would love to live
It's you or me, the narratives
And you intervene if I lick my
When I lick my lips...
The night, denied
The night, denied
The night, denied
I can't deny the things I felt that night!
