wrobbiescott may sound crazy, but compare this track to, for example, sappho's 'hymn to aphrodite'. Favorite track: That's the Beauty of Life.

hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah hey yeah yeah yeah i can't guarantee tonight tomorrow or next week next year. i can't say those things although i know there just so sweet to hear i don't what life may bring, summer may feel like winter, fall like spring. all i know is i love your right now and right now is our everything and thats the beauty of life and thats the beauty of love and thats the beauty of life and thats the beauty of love and thats the beauty of life and thats the beauty of love and thats the beauty of life and thats the beauty of love now right now is all we have and if you take my hand we'll see just where we land now right now is all we have and if you take my hand we'll see just where we land right now he is so hood and so holy and so slowly taking advantage of me making me secure of my every insecurity but doing so secretly so secretly i whisper sweet nothings how sweet some things can never be repeated to a soul my love lets my lust unfold into the most inappropriate gesture at the most appropriate time i could just stay here forever I've never learned to love like this i've never served a man like this beggin him to use my body in remembrance of his lord of my lord oh my lord my life my death all intertwined so i'm taking my time and rushing to love him sincerely and wholesome sincerely i've told him secrets that make the flowers blush dew secrets that make my mamas words true satisfaction is being his lady and his lover his sister and his brother his daughter and his mother his companion and his cover like soft cotton clothing guarding his most intimate parts guarding my most delicate heart like warriors girded with the finest armor in the bloodiest combat on the last date of battle breathing sweat and tears erasing doubt and fears as he unsheathes his sword and begins with the name of his lord of my lord oh my lord i could just stay here forever…

My People 03:52
my people say the time is right now right now my people say the time is right now right now for the sake of love for the sake of beginning in the name of god for the sake of ending in the name of god for the sake of truth and prophetic traditions for the sake of the word, and holy scripture for the sake of divine inspiration for the sake of all the sacrifices you're making for the sake of every honorable intention, and every missed execution for the sake of a righteous nation or a blessed union or a worthy woman, or a worthless woman for the sake of every prayer answered and every prayer unanswered for the sake of gratitude and every grand gesture, or every small gesture and for all that is hidden for the sake of all that is written for the sake of all they have taken and all you have given for the victims of violence and for all those forced silent or beaten breathless or born lifeless every triumph and every tragedy for the sake of every loss and every victory for the sake of our ancestors and the elders and profets for the sake of our husbands our sons and our daughters for the sake of peace for the sake of freedom for the sake of flying for the sake of dreaming

Lock Load 02:56
like a game of russian roulette we are rushing from wisdom rushing wishing falsely hoping like it wasnt written spoken by the token of time through the ages man is lost yet we toss our tender treasures to the cold silent circle to the black iron barrel taking our chances risking our magic our solemn secret chalk lined laid out in public so pretty and perfect the sound of our moaning yearning for a few final seconds to make amends with to seek forgiveness seek salvation seek protection submit to something good and gracious our father who art in heaven to balance my anxious with my patience not take undeserved kindness for granted yet be certain we've been given the access to ascend to great stations our lord choose us this perfect creation or wretches in waiting too foolish to know the difference but i swear i witness the majestic in my daughter laughing in my mother loving the water flowing the moon glowing the flower blushing the sky is open we could all be rushing into gardens lest we not all forget our visions we could all be rushing into gardens lest we not forget our visions time is ticking eenie meenie miny moe tip toe tic tock lockload aim cock pop eenie meenie miny moe top top tic tock lock load aim cock pop

about

I grew up in a house where music was the backbone to our lives, my first performance wasnt really a performance, it was just an intimate glimpse into my interpretation of love and life and pain, right in my parents living room, or my grandmothers living room, or my aunts living room, with all my family gathered with all their instruments and voices. this album is in honor of that intimacy, that heritage, that blessing. its super unplugged and raw and simple. pray yall find as much good in it as I have while creating it!
