-Jada-



Here I stand before you

Brown, color of the mountains

Colossal as the earth

Wrapped so deliciously

Within my own joy and misery

Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind

Here I stand before you

Colour of the night

Frozen by the potential of me

An afro angel





-Will Smith-



Afro angel walk your pedestal from perch and above

You on the prowl now, downtown, searching for love

In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations

Hoping he with the new hit single, is trying to mingle,

Today he is me in your town, putting it down

You in the car with your friends following my limo around

Putting a bug in my boys ear

Your essence for free

You'll do anything for Omarr if he'll bring you to me

And then me, hypnotised by the devil as well

Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel

No need to RSVP place your hand on my palm

As all your girlfriends getting jealous damn she landed the bomb

Willing to wage your spirit for some crass wack wage

Something small, something simple as a pass back stage

But now I lay thee down to creep and I

Pray my Lord my soul to keep



Afro Angel (oh yeah)

Born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul (You don't have to)

Throw away your pride

Afro Angel

Sent from heaven above (heaven)

Never forget that you are loved (never)

You know that you are loved



Little Bobby gotta a gun now

Age 15

Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems

Raised inside pride been denied respect

Can't take it though he gotta earn it but he ain't learned that yet

Out on the town reckless abandon

He's been bullied before but now his straps are no more

Attitude hot flexing on every guy that walk by but don't start pal

Cause if a gun came in a whiz cowardly lion got heart now

Let's pull it on a stranger ahh fun for the crew

Surprise when he realised damn dude got one too

Smile upside down now games aint so cute

Bobby's a dear in the headlights, "punk, drop it or I'll shoot"

Then like a Sniper cleaning a gripe up Bobby disobeys commands

One shot rings out but only the stranger stands

Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of n angels wings

But for what



Afro Angel

Born against the world (oh No)

You don't have to sell your soul

Throw away your pride (you know that you are)

Afro Angel

Sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved (never)

You know that you are loved (you know you are loved yeah)



Back in high school

Tamika was the sweetest the bomb

Hot to death but a teenage mum

Knocked up from some thug named russ in the drug game

But had the cutest kid you ever seen

Then off a pressure from her mum she stepped to Russ

Told em its either them drugs or us

Either them thugs or us

The ultimatum

Either continue to be a thug in the world

Or start loving your girl

He said God bear me witness

No doubt loving you dear

But to go from

Fitty g's a week

To 30 g's a year

That ain't happenin

I guess he wasn't that strong

Came back the next week

And her whole family was gone

Yo they straight moved away without as little as a word

Well, needless to say Russ was a little perturbed

Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend shaun

And like a clumsy chef

She spilled the beans on where they had gone

Up state ??

Tamika answered the door it was the last person she expected to be

They just stared

He said, "you love me for me?

You can do without the cars, vacations and jewellery?

Down with me, period through life, stress, and strife"

She said, "Yeah"

He said, "in that case, will you please be my wife"

And like a sign from the sky the baby cried like an angel sings

I love y'all more than anything
