Wunderlan ft. Aniya Teno & Ahnia Leary Lyrics

Fast

I often think about the fight of the Black Man,

Told by the world he can't think like others can

Eat and drink where others can, shackled by his feet and hands

No village, no image, what it means to be a man

Another being half goddess half human

The healer, the holy, the sacred Black Woman

You had your head on a swivel 

Waiting for life's unapproval

One day one day you'll see 

You don't need no love but your love 

Your love

White clouds in your brown eyes 

Brown skin in the sunshine

And the water feels just right

U were made to touch the sky u were made to fly 

And the roots down under call to you 

They 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 

I've been fighting these demons

Won't make it past the season

Tears, sweat, and blood I'm bleeding

Someone give me a reason

And I don't know what to believe in

Demon's fiending like Eve when the apple swinging low

Odds are I'm betraying your wishes, and I ain't even know 

I'm Judas wit the shit, you been eluding to this shit

Life ain't tailored for a nigga, I ain't suited for this shit

Won't be the man I'm tryna run from

I'm flipping over stones, pick up the phone to call my loved ones

Reborn to Wunderlan, and now the future gon be undone

I've just become one, but gon be touring out in London by 23

100% black in the genes so come and fuck wit me

Used to hate that fact, but now I'll say I'm black triumphantly

My people's pockets peter griffin, money in abundancy 

So suddenly, I'm changing up my path, don't need no summary

Uhh

I know my life been very ugly

Regret the times when you was low and I was fussing

Regret the white lies, now can you really trust me

Regret the moments I ain't cherish back with us three

Shit

Or back with us

But imma 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 'for he was crushed

You had your head on a swivel 

Waiting for life's unapproval

One day one day you'll see 

You don't need no love but your love 

Your love

Used to think my life was a mistake and a Calamity

I been working hard to get this money for my family

Seat up at the top is where a nigga always planned to be

Making it past all the tribulations Satin handin me

And learned forgiveness

I learned forgiveness for myself

I learned people was around that actually cared bout how I felt

I ain't learned to take off time but least I care about my health

Learned the answer to the questions momma asked when I was twelve

Your son is young, black, an educated

Fully melanated

Head and shoulder bove the clouds so now I'm fully elevated

Black and Wunderful you called me, so this albums dedicated

Said there's one day out of 365 that I'm celebrating 

April 20th, 1975, the day you arrived

The first tattoo I got in my life

I always look down to my wrist when I feel pain or feel strife

And then I look up to the sky and know it's gon' be alright

Yeah

You had your head on a swivel 

Waiting for life's unapproval

One day one day you'll see 

You don't need no love but your love 

Your love

White clouds in your brown eyes 

Brown skin in the sunshine

And the water feels just right

U were made to touch the sky u were made to fly 

And the roots down under call to you 

They 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

Hey Aaron it's your mom

Calling to let you know how proud I am of you

Every time you are on the way to the studio

Or in the studio

And um

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 a 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 as slaves across waves of ruin

I wanna see the rise of true Black family

Oozing 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

Too, you think you got it?
