Here I stand before you - brown [00:00:04]
Color of the mountains[00:00:06]
Colossal as the earth[00:00:08]
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery[00:00:10]
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind[00:00:13]
Here I stand before you the color of the night[00:00:17]
Frozen by the potential of me[00:00:22]
(Uh uh uh uh uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel[00:00:24]
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above[00:00:30]
You on the prowl now downtown searchin for love[00:00:32]
In all the wrong places outside your radio stations[00:00:35]
Hopin he with new hit single is tryin to mingle[00:00:38]
Today he is in your town puttin it down[00:00:41]
You in the car with your friends followin my limo around[00:00:43]
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear your "S" is for free[00:00:46]
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil bring you to me[00:00:49]
And then me hypnotized by the devil as well[00:00:52]
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel[00:00:54]
No need to RSVP place your hand in my palm[00:00:57]
As all your girlfriends getting jealous damn she landed the bomb[00:01:01]
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass whack wage[00:01:04]
Something small something simple as a pass back stage[00:01:07]
But now I lay me down to creep[00:01:10]
And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep[00:01:12]
Afro Angel born against the world[00:01:15]
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride[00:01:21]
Afro Angel sent from heaven above[00:01:26]
Never forget that you are loved[00:01:33]
You know that you are loved[00:01:38]
Lil Bobby got a gun now age fifteen[00:01:45]
Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems[00:01:47]
Rage inside pride been denied respect[00:01:51]
He can't take it though he gotta earn it[00:01:53]
But he ain't learned that yet[00:01:56]
Out on the town reckless abandon he's been bullied before[00:01:57]
But now he straps and no more[00:01:59]
Attitude high[00:02:02]
Flexin on every guy that walk by[00:02:02]
But don't start pal[00:02:04]
Cuz if the gun came from the whiz Cowardly Lion got heart now[00:02:06]
Let's pull it on a stranger[00:02:08]
Ahh fun for the crew[00:02:10]
Surprised when he realized damn dude got one too[00:02:12]
Smile's upside down now games ain't so cute[00:02:14]
Bobby's a deer in a headlights[00:02:17]
Pump drop it or I'll shoot[00:02:19]
Then like a sniper cleanin his rifle Bobby disobeys his commands[00:02:20]
One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands[00:02:23]
Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings[00:02:27]
But for what [00:02:29]
Afro Angel born against the world[00:02:31]
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride[00:02:37]
Afro Angel sent from heaven above[00:02:42]
Never forget that you are loved[00:02:49]
You know that you are loved[00:02:54]
Back in high school Tamika was the sweetest the bomb[00:03:01]
Hot to death though in tenth grade a teenage mom[00:03:03]
Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game[00:03:06]
But had the cutest kid you ever seen[00:03:10]
Then all the pressure from her mom[00:03:12]
She stepped to Russ[00:03:14]
Told him it's either them drugs or us[00:03:15]
Either them thugs or us[00:03:17]
The ultimatum either continue bein a thug in the world[00:03:19]
Or start lovin your girl[00:03:22]
And say God bear me witness no doubt lovin ya dear[00:03:23]
But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year[00:03:27]
That ain't happenin[00:03:30]
I guess he wasn't that strong[00:03:31]
He came back the next week and the whole family was gone[00:03:32]
Yo they straight moved away without as little as a word[00:03:35]
Well needless to say Russ was a little perturbed[00:03:38]
Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn[00:03:42]
And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone[00:03:44]
Upstate Schenectady [00:03:48]
Tamika answered the door[00:03:48]
It was the last person she expected to be[00:03:50]
They just stared[00:03:53]
He said you love me for me [00:03:55]
You can do without the cars vacations and jewelry [00:03:56]
Down with me Period [00:03:59]
Through life's stress and strife[00:04:00]
She said Yeah He said in that case[00:04:02]
Would you please be my wife [00:04:04]
Then like a sign from the sky the baby cried[00:04:05]
Like an angel sings[00:04:08]
I love y'all more than anything[00:04:09]
Afro Angel born against the world[00:04:10]
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride[00:04:16]
Afro Angel sent from heaven above[00:04:22]
Never forget that you are loved[00:04:28]
You know that you are loved[00:04:33]
Afro Angel born against the world[00:04:40]
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride[00:04:46]
Afro Angel sent from heaven above[00:04:51]
Never forget that you are loved[00:04:58]
You know that you are loved[00:05:02]
