SoulChef - Black Love lyrics

[verse 1 - Gabriel Teodros] I don't want to chill, but i keep getting these tracks So i ease back and breathe raps Like a slow burn Meditative Contemplative I say it's prayers I know it's many layers When music hits, it can leave craters Far enough away, you could see a face in it Mask or an image I'm tracing the imprint left And never get it quite correct It's just a breath on the nape of your neck At best, we all long to connect Like spirit and flesh With no restrictions It's not about s**, but it could be too I want to stand in my truth Naked and bare Totally cared for, sacred and rare With a nature to share Some can't handle the glare And that's fair I am daring, can be too much I don't rush Maybe i'm not easy to love, or i set myself up With high expectations that no one can touch But i feel it in friendships, feel it moments And feel beautiful, when i am seen in wholeness A sensuality that i believe my home is But some days, i still feel homeless Even in my own house So i get out And dream as loud as my body can project Unprotected Vulnerable Respected Feared and admired But rarely met We are all at our best when connected Just watch for sharp edges When involved with reflection [Chorus x2] Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities, and heals where i'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope i hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love [verse 2 - Sarah MK] What it means to me The thought of lighting up this mystery Don't mean to forget and turn the page But another home keeps calling out my name I can't explain How it must feel to stand On the grounds i heard was the motherland My shaky self got so much to learn Having me as unaware of what makes her In the mirror, physical traces i can't relate to In my everyday places that i go to Sometimes i cross paths with my sister Eyes spark and recognize one another And that's truth and love and light Angels sent to let me know that's it's alright Time'll come when the moment is right To [?] [Chorus x2] Black love I don't gotta explain too much My folks got my back like no one does Something bout loving you in our native tongue Opens up possibilities, and heals where i'm from I love the way my name feels in your mouth I hope i hold yours as delicate and proud I wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us Something bout your happiness feels like freedom Black love
