Transcribing
Ease up, cause this is not a love ballad
[Verse 1: Wise Intelligent]
Yes I come to pay tribute to Shakiyla because you're lovely
Word is bond, your sister loves me and I love her like no other before
Ayee
I say I spend a lot of time with the queen I protect
You're the sister close to me, he take her deeper into debt
Say sister, knowledge god that of queens your existence
You're no hooker, you're no slut, you're no bitch and she listens
You're the mother of civilization and I hate them snakes that disrespect ya
They often disrespect ya when they find they cannot sex ya
I'm wondering what are they trying with knowledge of themselves
Shakiyla's civilized, she despises the drug you sell
Shakiyla deep black woman she loves me life to death
These savages try sweating, tell culture I say this
[Hook: Culture Freedom]
Wake up from all those savage dreams
Thinking that she's yours, not mines
Those earrings and silly chains
It's really just a waste of time
The queen is mine
Wake up
The wise black queen is mine
She's mine
She's mine
(Ease up!)
[Verse 2: Wise Intelligent]
This one's dedicated to Shakiyla ’cause she need me
Word is bond, the sister needs me
And I need her like no other before
Ayee
I tell ya strong be the vibe that combines us together
Lots of love, trust, and truth, understanding that's forever
Not biting, no one shooting
Hope like hell they [??]
Perfection rules the ignorance, loves not blind boy
I see clearly daily baby crazy I gotcha
She's all this, she's all that
And it gets greater by the hour
Without the acts of separation
Though that's one of woman's power
Black man's guide to understanding
The black woman's full flower
[?]
Reach the crescent of her soul
The bottom of her heart
Shakiyla deep black woman she loves me life to death
These savages try sweat, Culture tell them I say this
[Hook: Culture Freedom]
Wake up from all those savage dreams
Thinking that she's yours, not mines
Those earrings and silly chains
It's really just a waste of time
The queen is mine
Wake up
The wise black queen is mine
She's mine
She's mine
(Ease up!)
[Verse 3: Wise Intelligent]
This one that I kick about Shakiyla ’cause she want me
Word is bond, the sister want me
And I want her like no other before
Ayee
But no one's ever told me love could be so much fun
Everday just like the sun
Why, even raining ones
Some they say they're friends But they're plotting on our end
Cause the place in which we be at is the place they never been
A-gin-and-a-gin-and-a-git-ya ask me Wise do ya love me?
And without hesitation I'll say, Earth ya knows I do
Then ask her why she ask me if she say I know ya love me
But the reason that I ask is just to hear ya say you do
Shakiylah's deep black woman and she loves me life to death
When Savages try sweat, Culture tell them I say this
[Hook: Culture Freedom (Wise Intelligent)]
Wake up from all those savage dreams
Thinking that she's yours, not mine
Those earrings and silly chains
It's really just a waste of time
The queen is mine
(All respects due to the black woman on the planet Earth)
Wake up
The wise black queen is mine
She's mine
She's mine
