Nahko Bear - Dinner Party lyrics

[Verse 1: Nahko Bear] Woke up this morning refreshed from the evening Dreamin' 'bout all the homies I believe in I have so much time to think I got sisters who are mothers and Brothers who are fathers to me I was a young man, old man Only a kid, man And I was dreamin' 'bout that promised land But I was stuck in my dead-end town Just a petty thief and I was waiting for the day of my release Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da [Verse 2: Nahko] I saw the flash in your eye Just as you arrived Girl, you're so damn mysterious and sly Now, why am I not surprised? Well if this is supposed to happen, then I'll just let it happen to me Walkin' on solid ground I found the face of the moon He was smiling down on us singing his toothless tune He says, "my light luminates one love So sing me to sleep and let those stars have their way with me tonight." Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da [Verse 3: Jeanna Dickerson] I was a young girl, strong girl A woman with girl So you found me singing 'bout my love for this world Making big steps towards redemption A medicine wheel and a gateway into the ocean Movin' and shakin' 'bout Got to clear my headlight What are my intentions here? And are you ready for a ground-breaking way of bein'? I'm talkin' off that grid and empowering a conscious way of living Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da [Verse 4: Nahko] My homies keep me in line Keep me from strayin' off the wayside I keep their pores tinglin' and their tongues tied And I'm learning how to cautiously rise Against a disguise that legally refuses compromise If I had things my way I'd put some hope on your plate I'm talkin' sauteed trust and an entree of faithful Oh, and eradicate all self-pity You got a lot of work to do, so get busy, homie, go on get busy (Get busy!) Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da [Nahko] Hey, what does that mean? [Bailey] I don't know, but it's daaaamn good [Nahko] Mmhmm, that feels real nice
