Open To Thyself - Tank and The Bangas

[04:40.0]I like how you don’t mind opening all the doors to yourself
[04:40.0]that you trust that you’ll find the key
[04:40.0]even if it’s hard to find
[04:40.0]you trust that it’s in your possession
[04:40.0]that god gave it you
[04:40.0]you’re not traveling alone u see
[04:40.0]you’ll always make it home…
[04:40.0]and home is where the heart is
[04:40.0]not where you start kid
[04:40.0]so even when you roam
[04:40.0]you home
[04:40.0]you safe in the arms that made you
[04:40.0]in the god that raised you
[04:40.0]in the gift that creates in you
[04:40.0]Not the things you create
[04:40.0]You’re more than The songs they sing too
[04:40.0]Don’t get lost
[04:40.0]In the page
[04:40.0]Or the golden stages hue
[04:40.0]For You have shined a bright light
[04:40.0]Since you were in utero
[04:40.0]A poet since 2 years old
[04:40.0]Speaking half god
[04:40.0]And whatever else you chose too
[04:40.0]I believe in you
[04:40.0]I love you through all of your phases
[04:40.0]I’ve watched you through all of your stages of growth
[04:40.0]I’ve seen you spill
[04:40.0]I love you still
[04:40.0]Open to thyself…
[04:40.0]sometimes i wonder how much fight i got in me
[04:40.0]then i remember
[04:40.0]ima queen in the serengeti
[04:40.0]a legion of soldiers
[04:40.0]angels wings
[04:40.0]and my daddy protect me
[04:40.0]and carry all the loads that’s heavy
[04:40.0]i got this
[04:40.0]even when i feel like motivation has left me
[04:40.0]I got this
[04:40.0]when my prayers have no words
[04:40.0]I got this
[04:40.0]and my knees don’t feel like bending
[04:40.0]I’ll make them
[04:40.0]And when I win..l
[04:40.0]I want a parade
[04:40.0]I want a golden medallion
[04:40.0]I want a bright stage
[04:40.0]And a Purple Heart
[04:40.0]For all the battles
[04:40.0]I’ve won
[04:40.0]For all the wars I’ve lost
[04:40.0]I want the longest Victory lap around heaven…
[04:40.0]And when I hold the torch….
[04:40.0]i’ve petitioned for paradise
[04:40.0]made a sacrifice of my parade
[04:40.0]danced in falling rain
[04:40.0]umbrellas and sugar cane
[04:40.0]A brown ballerina
[04:40.0]tip toeing on a golden stage
[04:40.0]running from a certain fame
[04:40.0]from this nasty games
[04:40.0]I’ve love you through all of your phases
[04:40.0]I’ve watched you through all of your stages ( of growth
[04:40.0]I’ve seen you spill
[04:40.0]I love you still
[04:40.0]Open to thyself…
[04:40.0]Whenever you’re sad or just lonely
[04:40.0]When songs have no words
[04:40.0]Or no meaning
[04:40.0]Remember this poem
[04:40.0]You’re never alone
