Zions Daughter by Omari Lyrics
[VERSE - Omari]
Daughter, we could live life like it don't matter
Hold my hand, I'd show you what happens in the Latter days
She ain't a saint, but she had sex with a pastor once
She say her mind way sharper when she passing blunts
The irony, Iron Man in a plastic suit
She wants a Man with a Job rocking a Tie and suit
But all she gets is Married Men and Misguided youth
She insecure & obviously, she's misguided too
Feeding off them Instagram likes and comments
She wants to stay in shape so she vomits
In the Toilet, stuffs her hand down her throat
Till she choke
Like she do when she smoke
After every meal, it's hard to stomach
Twitter has become her Life
Now She craving for them Instagram likes
Bad girl pose, bad girl clothes
Sunday morning, she'd be dressed up looking contrite
Off to church, status update
After church, it's her boyfriend place
He treats her like what she portrays herself to be
A prostitute, in her mind, 'I'm a big disgrace'
Hurries out to leave his place
Things get messy, He's abusive, Rage
Get's home, Mum asks, what happened to your face?
Nothing Mum, I'm fine, I just need my
Space
She not interested in the sermon either
Men are the same, either the Drunkard or the baptist preacher
And good guys come her way but she don't recognize 'em
Friend zone, always heads home with the wildest brethren
When the Sun rise, she feeling guilty
She can't remember a thing, but her body feeling filthy
Last night, he loved me, now he ain't even tip me
Ugh, damn I hate it when men trick me
Tears flow freely, she blames her abusive past
Her promiscuity, she blames her abusive dad
Momma knew about it but she ain't say Nothing
God knew about it too, why he let it happen?
All she knew as a child was abuse and pain
Every man she ever trusted turned out to be the same
The Only Man that ain't seem to wanna get into her panties
Was a Jewish looking man on the wall, picture hung in a frame
He's dead though, Or rather, dead and risen
She's crying and her tears are the prism
Which she sees the world through, blurred vision, Her mind is a prison
But her body is a temple
It's too dirty for God to live in
Right?
Wrong. Daughter, let the past go
Life is a game, God could get you past 'go'
I've seen Lives change, that includes mine too
Christ changed my Life, he could change yours too
From yours truly, y'all knew me
I was so unruly
Christ came for the Sinners
I'm glad he knew me
[Hook - Omari]
Daughter, I could make you whole
Turn your ashes into gold
I could heal broken soul, Daughter
Daughter, let me take control
I see your scars, they beautiful
I'd heal your heart and fill it's holes, Daughter
Zion's daughter
No ethnicity, Daughter let me talk to you
You are precious, you are beautiful
Like a gemstone or rare mineral
I'm literally into you, I see your pain
I see pain in your eyes
I see the tears like it's gone rain in your eyes
Your Scars are beautiful
You ain't gotta hate them
Beautiful mutilation
Beautiful mutilation
I know your Uncle touched when you were 5
And you've had two abortions already, you can't deny, but I'd rather die than tell a lie and watch the world be deprived of that smile
You are beautiful, you are precious, God Loves you
All that pressure to look like them Girls in the magazine covers, you're a queen, stop trying to be a model, Focus on being a role model for your future kids
And let your unborn babies tell the story of your journey from sex addict to Charity worker, from Drug addict to First Lady, I know it sounds crazy but the idea of God Loving a fallen race is even crazier
You're a queen, You're body is a temple
You don't need no man to validate you
If he wants your nudes, he probably just wants to taste you and spit you out like his other victims and hate you the moment you walk out that door, you're distasteful. Disgraceful, I beg you, I'm lustful, but I wanna respect you, When I say I love you, I really mean I lust you, I'm lost. Sometimes my passions may seem to oppose everything I believe in
But If you're clothes weren't so skimpy like fig leaves
Maybe we could have been Adam & Eve
I could have offered you a wedding ring instead of that 'meet me at the hotel room'. Peace
Daughter, we could live life like it don't matter
