Mami Wata

How could I be any less than amazing?
Y’all bearing witness to greatness
Since ‘08 been on my grizzly, I’m Ursa Major
Art is labor-intensive, delivery’s harder than labradorite
Maybe that’s why my conceptions blessed and highly favored
I polish bars like a Gala
Leave impressions so weighty they blaming the 808 and the fall of man on my labia
Ooh that was a word
They might just sensor my speech till the letters are blurred
Homie, I provide heat and fly shit to these streets like feathers to bird
I’m Heru, Lyrical falcon
Hunting and stalking the alphabet, picking off every mark, only excepting Ws as outcomes
I’m outer space, the blackest background with light as my power base
Devour these novice rappers whole then eject their bones, they’re just not my taste
Y’all Aquafina, I’m Mami Wata
Come dock at my marina, Ingest my title streams till I baptize your flock new Ark believers
I park these trains of thought on tracks - derail their plots for features
Only Roc with Ntozakes, Sonias, Nayyirahs and Ninas
