Melo Zed - Maya lyrics

[Intro: Maya Angelou] And somehow I'm able to get down Inside myself, deep Where a poem may live And find out what it has to say [Verse: Life] She said money don't make you If your heart can't match to the cash you equate to How you tryna stay rich, when you can't even stay true? You're displaced, goin' round in circles like a disc break Yeah, however long it takes you Everybody wanna talk but nobody wanna face you They see the way you walk They really tryna sway you But when you're in the game you don't know who's tryna play you It's the way you mask it They can't seem to grasp it Got the harshest devil on my shoulder with the horns on me I don't smoke weed, I smell like I got the lawn on me Thorns on me I ain't got a son but it dawned on me Maya, I know you're up with messiah I feel your soul taking me higher You taught me to wear my heart on my sleeve I know you're gone but it's hard to believe You're my angel [Hook: Maya] Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave I am the hope and the dream of the slave And so naturally... There I go rising [Verse: Life] I'm an orphan Surrounded by greed & extortion Take heed & caution Maya told me that I'm awesome That's the tip of the iceberg baby Lookin' fly & I'm smelling like iceberg baby I was surprised when you knew about D'Angelo & Voodoo That's when you told me "Nothing's gonna work unless you do" And I knew that I'm sticking to my paper like blu-tack Saw you in Poetic Justice with Janet & 2Pac Got my roots back It's time to turn up where's my suit at? Blatantly, I've had dreams of things chasing me Wake up & catch my fears facing me What will God make of me I pray heaven's got a vacancy Only time will tell so I sit & wait patiently My thoughts embracing me but where are they taking me? Under? I drift into a slumber, aimlessly Cause back then I was younger You're my angel [Hook: Maya] It is a long journey It's a sweet one Bitter sweet I'm very blessed
