Afro Angel Lyrics

-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

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

Afro Angels
Born against the world (Born against the world)
You don't have to sell your soul
Throw away your pride (You don't)
Afro Angel
Sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved (never, never)
You know that you are loved
Afro Angel (Afro)
Born against the world (Born against the world)
You don't have to sell your soul (You don't, no, no)
Throw away your pride
Afro Angel
Sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
