Earth to Venus (Tiny Orange Star)
[Chorus: Deacon]
This is Earth to Venus from afar
I want you to stay right where you are
I came here to greet you but
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars
Can we slow down?
Can we slow down? (Can we, can we?)
Can we slow down? (Floating, floating)
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars

[Verse 1: Natti]
You can Wish upon her vision, goddess of my ear
Right between the drums thumping everywhere I steer
Quick quiver in the rear mirror shaking
Thighs pure thunder, take cover in the basement
Without this woman’s wonder every summer sound basic
Nothing on this tiny blue marble but some hatred
Everything weightless in space ‘tween a kick and a snare
On the wings of a White Owl, Indica in the air
With her hear the green sweet symphony everywhere
Rosetta of forever we lucky enough to share
Blessing all sessions, breaking down sections
In a world gone Planters that separated complexion
Engineers occupy booths to hear confessions
Add a little compression over some oppression
After mic check one, twos and testing testing
Her body that embodies progression
Black music
[Chorus: Deacon]
This is Earth to Venus from afar
I want you to stay right where you are
I came here to greet you but
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars
Can we slow down?
Can we slow down? (Can we, can we?)
Can we slow down? (Floating, floating)
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars

[Verse 2: Deacon]
Starry Night, can I be your Van Gogh?
Bet from where you stay planet earth is a bando
Tryna to get to you, baby, but can’t take a Land Rover
I need a starship (My little sankofa bird)
I know that you know
That you been moving people since the birth of the crow
And all of mankind been on a search for yo glow
But this planet don’t give a damn about the worth of your soul
But I found consolation in yo constellation
The rhythm of your pulse is like a conversation
I love the attitude of your improvisation
How everything you do’s an artist installation
I'm past curious, past Sirius
So spiritual, so mysterious
I’ve entered orbit, baby, please hold tight
I’m tryna fall deep in your gold light
Black Music
[Chorus: Deacon]
This is Earth to Venus from afar
I want you to stay right where you are
I came here to greet you but
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars
Can we slow down?
Can we slow down? (Can we, can we?)
Can we slow down? (Floating, floating)
I’d rather come and meet you in the stars

[Outro: Deacon]
This is Earth to Venus from afar
Right next to this tiny orange star
I came here to greet you but
I’d rather come and meet you where you are
