[Intro: Ahnia Leary]
I often think about the fight of the black man
Told by the world, he can't think like others can
Eat and drink what others can
Shackled by his feet and hands
No village, no image, what it means to be man
Another being, half Goddess, half human
The healer, the Holy, the sacred black woman

[Chorus: Aniya Teno]
You had your head on a swivel
Waiting for life's unapproval
One day, one day you see
You don't need no love but your love
Your love

[Post-Chorus: Aniya Teno]
White clouds, and your brown eyes
Brown skin in the sunshine, (Sunshine,)
And the water feels just right
You were made to touch the sky
You were made to fly
And the roots down under
Callin' you to say
Face the world in front of you
We gon' hold you tight
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
[Bridge: Yung Senju]
I've been fighting these demons
Won't make it past the season
Tears, sweat, and blood, I'm bleedin'
Someone give me a reason

[Verse 1: Yung Senju]
Now I know what to believe in
Demons, feedin' like Eve on them apples, swinging low
Odds are I'm betrayin' your wishes
And I ain't even know
I'm Judas with this shit
You been alludin' to this shit
Like ain't tailored for a n***a, I ain't suited for this shit, huh
Won't be the man I'm tryna run from
I'm flippin' over stones, pick up the phone
To call my loved ones
Reborn to wonderland, and now the future gon' be undone
I've just become one, but gon' be flowin' out of London
By 23, like 100% black in these jeans
So come and fuck with me, (Come and fuck with me,)
Used to hate that fact, but now I say I'm black triumphantly
My pimples pop, this Peter Griffin, money an abundancy
So suddenly, I'm changin' up my pad
Don't need no summary, uh
I know my life been very ugly
Regret the times when you was low, and I was fussin'
Regret the white lies, now can you really trust me?
Regret the moments I ain't cherish, back with us 3
Shit, back with us
But I'ma do it better now, hope you can trust
So fuck my greed, and fuck my pride, and fuck my lust
I wanna be the me, I was 'fore he was crushed
[Chorus: Aniya Teno, Yung Senju]
You had your head on a swivel, oh
Waiting for life's unapproval, yeah
One day, one day you see
You don't need no love but your love
Your love, your love, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Yung Senju]
Used to think my life was a mistake and a calamity
I been workin' hard to get this money for my family
See up at the top is where a n***a always plan to be
Makin' it past all the tribulations, sayin' hand to me
And learn forgiveness
I learn forgiveness for myself
I learned people was around to actually care 'bout how I felt
I ain't learned to take off time, at least I care about my health
Learned the answer to the questions Mama asked when I was 12
Your son is young, black, and educated
Fully melanated, head and shoulders 'bove the clouds
So now I'm fully elevated
Black and wonderful, you call me, so this album's dedicated
Said there's one day out of 365 that I'm celebratin'
April 20th, 1975
The day you arrived, the first tattoo I got in my life
I always looked down to my wrist
When I feel pain, I feel strife
And then I look up to the sky and know it's gon' be alright, yeah
[Chorus: Aniya Teno]
You had your head on a swivel, oh
Waiting for life's unapproval, yeah
One day, one day you see
You don't need no love but your, or love
Your love

[Post-Chorus: Aniya Teno, Yung Senju]
White clouds, and your brown eyes
Brown skin in the sunshine, (Sunshine,)
And the water feels just right
You were made to touch the sky
You were made to fly
And the roots down under
Callin' you to say
Face the world in front of you
We gon' hold you tight
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
Telephone, ring-ring-ring

[Outro: Yung Senju's Mother, Ahnia Leary]
Hey Aaron, it's your mom
Calling, to let you know
How proud I am of you
Everytime you were on the way to the studio
And, in the studio, and, I'm just so proud
Of how you are so focused, to do what you love
-Shackled by his feet and hands
No village, no image, what it means to be man
Another being, half Goddess, half human
The healer, the Holy, the sacred black woman
Blessed to be the chosen one to bear children
Sold slaves across waves of ruin
I wanna see the rise of the true black family
Oozin' with the tools to be all we can be
Have you ever wondered of a God-given place
Where we don't have to hide the pride of our race?
Led to the mountain top like Moses
Sittin' on thrones, at home, covered in roses
I wanna sit like Kings and Queens with wings
And fly to bigger and better and brighter things
So, you think you got it?
