Juwon Simmons - A song for you (Na Tondi Wa) lyrics

Intro ( Nina Simone ) : You don't know what love is, till you learned the meaning of the blues , till you learned to love and had to lose , you don't know what love is Verse 1: Met her alone as I paddled River Sanaga Had me on point like a Berber in a djellaba Or Alhadji in a purple danshiki Grounded and smart , trailing dust like a pixie Speaking in verse words of Tribal poetry Eloquent of tongue, like the Yoruba and Bayangi Bantu daughter, like no other, nothing come before She was it like no one coming after We Navigated to her temple of the thirsty Goddess poured rain , till a flood came to quench me How she teased me, then she pleased me She said pledge me allegiance , never leave me Promise that I , break promise I die I is Ra , Elle, is Isis , my cardiac crisis Caught up in her cloud, Psyche drifty Moon beams shine upon the spot where her feet be, heal me HOOK: Ndolo Na Tondi wa , I wrote this song for you x 4 VERSE 2: Standing at the edge of a cliff, with my hand on her hip Empty head like a gla** giving last sips Mindless , thoughts freezing , I can't think For no real reason , she's inert like she's not breathing And So we stare eye to eye , speaking volumes in silence , hush , no words could describe this , bliss No Ease , pacing in the presence of personified grace And so I wrote this piece Kings came before , but none came with the power to make it through the war that she's waging I said 'milady put your weapons , This is peace that we're making Make love, let this planet be the baby we're creating' She locked me in a hug, overwhelming like a subtle drug, Water down her cheeks, turned the carpet to a holy rug, cloudy emotion, sleepy hollow in a dreamy fog Bonaberi lady, Redefining beauties catalog HOOK: Ndolo Na Tondi wa , I wrote this song for you x 4 Outro:
