Afro Blue (9th Wonder's Blue Light Basement Remix) (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(Album: Black Radio - 2012)

[Phonte:]
Fly love song, fly love song

[Erykah Badu:]
Dream of a land, my soul is from
I hear a hand, stroke on a drum
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue

Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy, delicate whirl
Shades of delight cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue

Two lovers are face to face with undulating grace
They gently sway and slip away to some secluded place
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue

[Phonte:]
New Tigallo, New Tigallo
Yo, you came to me as my blessing
I'm trying to accept it and not question
The whys and the hows without obsessing
It's a lot to think about, I'm still processing
Tears of joy in the morning made our pillow wet
Then night fell and we turned into silhouettes
Your body next to mine dancing real close
Step left, step right, then a pirouette
It would appear as that we really do believe in us
But it's so hard to believe all we need is us
Believe a kiss on a cold day could be enough
Look at the stars and wonder what it is they see in us
Where is this leading us? That's all I'm asking
Love comes in every color, but the fact is
I never needed Fifty Shades of Grey
Just turn the lights down low and give me every shade of blackness, uh

[Erykah Badu:]
Two lovers are face to face with undulating grace
Gently sway and slip away to some secluded place
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue

[Phonte & Erykah Badu ad-libs repeating:]
Fly love song, fly love song
Afro blue

I hope this is a Robert Glasper. A
I got your number from a good friend of mine and I, I really like what you're doing over there with the music and the— the drums and the bass and the— the sound effects and this kind of cool
Yeah, man, I'll—I just gotta say I, I love that song: "Black radio, black radio, black radio" 'bout that guy, am, [?]
I, I don't know. This guy just tryna sound like Mos Def to me
Yeah, it's me, but thanks. Keep the work up, kid
