Testo AGAINST THE GRAIN/SHINE MEDLEY - Tobe Nwigwe feat. Madeline Edwards
Testo della canzone AGAINST THE GRAIN/SHINE MEDLEY (Tobe Nwigwe feat. Madeline Edwards), tratta dall'album FOURIGINALS
We just wanted to go against the grain a little bit
So Madelyn Edwards, if you would
Cause you were made to do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
Cause you were made to do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
I feel like the masses on melatonin when it come to melanin
I grew up melancholic because I ain't realized
That the hemoglobin in my skin was connected to a lineage
That never ever had to pin and pinch
Serpent hissing at me
I take the blade to his neck to kill all the hissy fits (ugh!)
Please don't try me I get overly violent when it come to juju
Hence why my name is Tobechuku and the flow like a tutu
Wrapped around the waist of Misty Copeland
Graceful even though I hail from broken
Places where they say that none are chosen
To rise among the raptors like DeRozean (ugh!)
Flow old, so so Jurassic (agh!)
Tough to find a suitor in my bracket
Where I'm from my hood is filled with bastards
Not their fault they dad done headed backwards
Hopefully the don't adapt the habit
Of the seed that turned them to a savage (cause!)
(Cause) Cause you were made to (you were made to)
Do what no one's done (do what no ones done)
And though they shade you (though they shade you)
You shine like the sun (shine on baby)
Cause you were made to (you were made to)
Do what no one's done (do what no ones done)
And though they shade you (though they shade you)
You shine like the sun
Sun
Sun
Sun
Ohhhh
Shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
Shine on all of them
(Shine on all of them)
My umi said to shine the light
So shine on all of them
Shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
Shine on all of them
(Shine on all of them)
My umi said to shine the light
So shine on all of them
We in the land of milk and honey
Where ain't nothing sweet these demons hungry
They go bananas for the money
But not me, I'm no circus monkey
It's crazy
It's crazy
No, Satan can't drown us we wavy
Too smooth to be fooled by fugazi
I guess that's okay that's what made me
Shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
Shine on all of them
(Shine on all of them)
My umi said to shine the light
So shine on all of them (ohhhh)
Climb (climb)
Climb (climb)
You were born to win
Don't let them make you colourblind
And not adore your skin
