Off of the back of my ancestors
Let it breathe
Let that breathe
Honey still drips from my lips and it's amazing
Take time for paper to pen I wash my face and
Call up a couple of friends no fake adjacent
Penthouse high in the sky still fuck with basements
Placement wherever I wanna be I'm still gracing
Take time out of my mind but I be thinkin'
Take a lil' tote on my trees and I be sangin'
Glory to the love in me and the many faces
Who love the light and exhibits the God that lives inside ah
You be glowing at me smiling singing laughing
You amaze me whew I like to see ya
I wash my hands of all them people who say that I ain't and can't
I really love for me I be lighting up
And all around the cities my people get what they wanting for
And I be moaning some oohs and I be sleeping too
Off of the back of my ancestors
Off of the back of my ancestors
