Hip-Hop by J. Ikenna Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She crossed my path at a young age
Amazed, I was dazed, listening to the mazes dropped on each and every page
Speaking lyrically bout the physical, pushing me mentally
She became all I needed in time: daily to annually
But at the time she was Constance: exploited for the fame
Surrounded by the interest for success and all the same
Many claiming they would frame her; maintaining the love they brang her
Til green stills of federales were replacing the embers
So the heat's gone, cause they got the heat on
Frost-biting; Ghost-writing, just to keep the ice on
No longer "significant other," they're moving on to another
So she's starts thinking it's better to end it all with a letter
Painted red like the Johnson Brother's…
While her heart was getting Blam'd on and Stomp'd on harder
Almost emancipated but God's Son hesitated
So, words contemplated, I cannot stop stating that it is...
[Hook]
You
You are a nice, cool breeze in me
I feel you
Blowing in. I
Can feel the sunlight all around me
You're shining
[Verse 2]
When we started, we were parted by these voices
Placed out of our relay by a runner-up of choices
Wondering if me and her were real or just a blur
But I been focused on her since 13, be damned if I let her go
So I stand strong, even if I fall wrong
With chance "It's a single, hate alone or sing along."
So I asked her "Can we try again?; Tell our story till it's read?"
She turned around, looked me dead in the eyes and then she said:
"If your speaking from the heart then we freaking from the start
Inking words until we part for the love of language arts."
She became the canvas as we studied at our campus
And I painted till I Fainted. "Wait, Can't we make us Famous?"
Now I'm trying to shine, just hoping I don't get blinded
Cause they say the sky will brighten as soon as the rocks remind us
"Just promise me that in the end, you will never change."
But honestly, "I just hope that change never changes"
Then my focus moves to...
[Hook]
You
You are a real strong wind in me
I feel you
Come on in
Can
You see the sunlight all around me?
You're smiling
(I feel...)
[Bridge]
[Hook]
You
You are a nice, cool breeze in me
I feel you
Blowing in. I
Can feel the sunlight all around me
You're shining
[Outro]
It feels natural
To be around you. (I feel beautiful.)
You made it possible
You're wonderful
I feel beautiful
When I'm around you
I'm safe and comfortable
Cause you are wonderful
It feels natural
To be around you
You've made it possible
You're wonderful
She crossed my path at a young age
Amazed, I was dazed, listening to the mazes dropped on each and every page
