Code

Light the words that are spoken
Light the hurts that are open
like the birds that are floating
don’t resist the need no-win

Light the way for tomorrows
Light the shame you can’t swallow
make or build take or follow
beg or steal buy or borrow

Light the place you go hoping
hope the meaning of knowing
know the meaning of coping
cope to build the day s’posin

s’pose the place you got gone +
code the building block zoning
zone the twi like you holding
hold it tight cuz we on it

this the only thing real +
this the only thing real +
makes you drop what you stealing
like your lips on my skin that

make me holler + feel it
in a way I can’t be mad
you’re unstoppable female
you’re the probable feeling

this the drop of the needle
this the top of my people
my intention is legal
my retention is lethal

bump the shit while you rolling
roll the shit ‘til the morning
morning come in it’s own way
like to live to the dawn +

Put away all the nonsense
will you stay with me darlin’
will you stay with me darlin’
show you what I have dawning

build your scream to a moan +
like the place you was born in
I’m original soil +
people call me old soul +

like the body you owning
touch ya fill you with longing
wanna do it the long way
3 o’ clock like the song say

we could stay a bit longer
we could stay a bit longer
we have everything wanted
we have everything honest

call you baby or mama
call me sugar or honey
live your life like you wanna
live your life like you want it

touch in all the right places
touchin’ on empty stages
where my memory is ageless
where desire is nameless

don’t forget who you came with
lovely beautiful Angel
just in case you was waiting
I done made all arrangements

love the rain on my face when
water teardrop I taste it
slowly slowly we ain’t in
rush or hurry or pacing

just the beauty created
just a beautiful lady
just a beautiful day to
just a moment to say this

when the night becomes day +
when your life becomes weighty

don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is
don’t forget what my name is…
