A black cloud this way comes
I know you know the feeling
Of the war drum
A giant's muffled steps
Heart beating out my chest,
Just do it already
Smell metallic air
Stand erect, the hair on the back of necks
Sweat-dripped finger tips
I lick my dry lips, and I think these words,
"Just do it already"
I can't break down, won't break down
Tell myself, "Hold it all in"
Can't let it get to me.
If I die 'fore I wake
Too bad I know the place
My soul will take
Do I fear that day? No.
Or do I simply say,
"Just do it already"
I feel the waves of change a-brewing
I smell the ill will of weak men stewing
I beg you, Lord, please get to doing
I don't think y'all heard me
A black cloud this way comes
I know you know the feeling
Of the war drum
A giant's muffled steps
Heart beating out my chest,
Just do it already
I can't break down, won't break down
Tell myself, "Hold it all in"
Can't let it get to me.
Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
