Mansa Obi - Stronger Than Words lyrics

When love is low and pride is high We drown in hurt it's suicide Afraid of what was and too scared of what could be Our fears k** our future, so we'll settle for empty presence this time And to fill that void? Rip out our hearts to k** that noise Cause' this beat is just a reminder and them sheets are just a reminder Verse I So we put on them on a page the life of a writer Misery, mystery talking about history Goddess I noticed that you were sublime Part of my nature so how could I hate you? Just one of our people that searching for greater I'm, just tryna' get free but don't know what to do Can't explain how I feel, cause it's stronger than words Darling I love you and hoped that you heard Love like sunshine so special to me, bump Bonnie and Clyde this Adam and Eve And from day one been knew you were queen, cynosure of my dreams Your presence is heaven sent, inspired benevolence and this is the evidence Chorus I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Say I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Said I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' I know you gone' feel it Shorty chasing thrills, but she can't feel nothing Say she wanna' live but she can feel nothing Verse II Some say unusual, I call it beautiful Feeling you down to my cubicles, pardon my particles As I read every article, hope we can start anew Promise to honor your name as I honor myself On god I don't need no one else Type of queen that could give a brother self Reflection eternal, my feminine favor Unveil every layer, I just gotta' thank you Could never repay you, For k**ing the player Because those games are for lames who don't know what to play with Or they stuck in the Matrix, your beauty is sacred A Nubian matron, I savor your flavor and bathe in the rays Just like sunshine so special to me, bump Bonnie and Clyde this Adam and Eve Chorus And, I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Say I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Said I know you gone' feel it Shorty chasing thrills, but she can't feel nothing Say she wanna live, but she can't feel nothing Angela Davis: "I saw black people resisting. There's this myth that black people didn't resist until watts or until Malcolm or until the black panther party, it's just not true The first thing the black panther party did of course in Oakland was to patrol the community. To set up an armed patrol in order to ensure that black people were not hara**ed and intimidated by the local police department But, that had been done in the south, it was done in Birmingham. My father participated in armed patrols, because they had to protect the community They'd get out every night, with their weapons and they'd drive around the community." Chorus And, I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Say I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' I know you gone' feel it I know you gone' feel it, when it's on I know you gone' Said I know you gone' feel it Shorty chasing thrills, but she can't feel nothing Say she wanna' live
