I close my eyes and dance
|
to a hypnotic beat
|
that Mother Earth decides to send my way today
|
|
Capricorn inside an Aquarian
|
I AM that you are
|
foreplay for the mind
|
Oh how sweet it is
|
|
The pulsating rhythm of Imagination
|
dances to a place of no today
|
tomorrow no time or space
|
Promise to Be
|
|
A goddess of never ending
|
gently guiding my footsteps
|
to that someday when Donny said
|
We'd all be free
|
|
and I hear Mama say
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
My Father sayin'
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
Somethin' inside me say
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
|
Oh Brutha say it
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
I hear ya Sistah say it
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
Everybody say
|
(Keep doin' what ya do)
|
|
Thought I'd see my Self
|
w hen I decided to let you in
|
But you've become another kind of tear that I'm crying
|
|
One whose reflection is never shown - yet felt
|
kind of like a good sermon on a Sunday morning
|
where the Sistah's be shoutin' and dancin'
|
and folk be testifyin'
|
|
I've gone down to the river
|
and danced with the ghost
|
who've come to tempt my Soul
|
to question my reason for Love or not to Love
|
|
I've slow grind with uncovered pain and fear
|
Hustled with liberal minded
|
Electric slid in to the hands on the trigger
|
and fake smiles that say
|
"We don't see you Nigger!"
|
|
Time to get jazzy y'all - jazzy
|
Bwi ah boo wah
|
Babba bwi ah bwi ah boo wah
|
Bwi ah boo wah
|
|
So let's all go back to the time
|
when the rhythm was the Word that soothed and grooved
|
and the Word was spoken yet silently heard
|
|
A cool breeze sends my heart runnin'
|
to a rainbow of colors
|
where no one trips and my chocolate skin
|
doesn't evoke fear or offend
|
|
A place where we can play like a never ending symphony
|
whose movements are swift and flowing
|
like the fruits of the Earth used to be
|
|
Outstretched hands she cries
|
"Dance! Sistah Brutha Dance!...Come on! "
|
sing of the Love our peep's dreamed of
|
An ever loving plan, ya gotta understand
|
the one thing that makes us free
|
