When you left
I didn't even mean to chase
Queen
Made a scene, spleen, seen your meanest face
You leave a trace, i be the rain, filling the space
Been between the sheets now see your empty seat
Your fading shade

I - the puddle, just as deep as the slime
Reflectin, trying to be seen as deep as the sky
How i'm feeling inside? peep this, leavin a dry
Spot keepin it si- lent, disappear without si- rens

When you left
I didn't even mean to chase
Queen
Made a scene, spleen, seen your meanest face
You leave a trace, i be the river
Who's filling the space?
Alone in my stream bed
No hope it all seems sad

I - the river, trying to climb to the top
Trying to grind to the spot, the highest, the climax
Carrying so many stones, the onus in us heavy
Tried to guard your glint
Failed - carrying your heart of flint

When you left
I didn't even mean to chase
Queen
Made a scene, spleen, seen your meanest face
You leave a mark
Plastic all over the place
Drastic - the role that you played

I - the ocean, so many drops
So many puddles and rivers
So many pots
A vortex of emotions
Some sink and some rise to the sky
One blink, one arise in them eyes

Rainy days
Drop by drop
Wash the
Pain away
Drop by drop
Watchin' the planet
I be part of the madness
Rainy days
Drop by drop
Wash the
Pain away
Drop by drop
Washin' the planet
I be part of the madness

It was spring
You now, you could smell springtime
But it was still winter in the shade
Awaken, awaken, senses awaken
In the window, you were beautiful like a model

It was gospel but without the hymnal
When you climbed into my pipe dream
You shifted the circuits, I drew in the air
The shape of a cross, let’s take it slow

Then one day, I asked are we in private
No, you said that ”we’re three or four”
We had taken the step together
You answered my question with a question
You don’t have to think about what you’ll have for food today
You don’t have to feel confused, what kind of dreams I see at night
Hey, baby, you don’t need to panic
Wake up in a cold sweat

If you don't have anymore strength, let me continue
Let me carry you for the rest of the way
Let me take care of this, let me grow
I will carry you like you carry my child

Who was the one who said
It was illegal 
To be gifted and a negro
We bleed, we cry
Everyone's the same inside

Who was the one who said
It was a crime to be 
Young and black and free
Who would have thought
They would try to kill our dream

Can humanity survive
By devalueing our lives
Take the power that was stolen
Spread it round to another
Cause we are a part of the whole
