[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve been stuck in this cage
I have been drifting away
As I do asé, yemaya
[Chorus]
Baby won’t you lay me down
I’m begging for your mercy now
Oh spare me from those awful sounds
Oh baby can he save you now
[Verse 2]
Hey
Heard you’re still married to faith
Well did he save you today
I seen you running away
No road back
[Chorus]
Baby won’t you lay me down
I’m begging for your mercy now
Oh spare me from those awful sounds
Oh baby can he save you now
[Outro]
Can he save you now (save you now)
For your mercy now
Can he save you now (save you now)
For your mercy now
MONKI was written by King Isis.
MONKI was produced by King Isis & Jaden Wiggins & Martin Rodrigues.
[It’s] a song written in a space of rejection, pushing back against narratives and ideologies that were placed upon me to confine. I wrote “MONKI” as a sonic representation of taking up space as my full authentic self.
