You're my Forever Love
One I would do whatever for
Heaven knows I’m hella sure
I'm gon' love you forever more
You’re my Forever Love
One I would do whatever for
Heaven knows I'm hella sure
I'm gon' love you forever more
Can I hold you by your closed fist, Misses?
Into my palms, feel my calm, soul sent kisses
Lifting your arms
Planting psalms in your fertile farm's Earth
We deepen the root
We're reaping thе fruitful colors of Fonzworth
I... time traveled to lovе you back when
Back before internets our intimacy was fact then
Back before captives cornered us, caught us all, and cashed in
Back when we studied stars
You and your alabaster jars
Girl, you jarred me with that jargon of your Black Skin
Aunties, mothers, babies, lovers, cousins
Your black friends
Every hue, far in between, few
Seated on your pew
You peruse possibilities
Conjuring forces, forcing away hostilities
If love is sound
I love like ocean waters that drown
If love is motion
I love you upward, downward, around
If love is life, these letters they'll mimic our babies cry
If love is thereafter, I'll love in chapters after I die
You’re my Forever Love
A Woman I’ll do whatever for
Heaven knows I'm hella sure
I’m gon love you forever more
You're my Forever Love
A Woman I'll do whatever for
Heaven knows I'm hella sure
I’m gon love you forever more
Can I embrace you with a spirit bond, my brother?
Don't mean no harm
See that apathy of emotion
You need to be strong
See that atrophy of emotion
You bangin', you hustle
Got you toting around the weight of a world that don't love you
They put 1000 Blacks in atrocious environments
Social sciences, study the grief
Assign police to the beat, confining it
Just to position one of the lucky brothers surviving it as excellent
Juxtaposition it with us dying
I see the trauma, you mad for me?
I'm mad for you
Time that we get radical
Heal our own with gratitude
I could call you a King
But I call you Tribe
That obsession with royalty is how our people die
Boy stay alive
If love is sound
I love you like ocean waters that drown
If love is motion, I love you upward, downward, around
If love is life, these letters they mimic our babies cry
If love is thereafter
I'll love in chapters after I die
You're my Forever Love
A brother I'd do whatever for
Heaven knows I'm hella sure
I'm gon' love your forever more..
You're my Forever Love
A brother I'd do whatever for
Heaven knows I'm hella sure
I'm gon' love your forever more..
