Dinner Party

(专辑： On The Verge - 2010)

Woke up this morning refreshed from the evening
Dreaming 'bout all the homies I believe in
I have so much time to think
I got sisters who are mothers and
Brothers who are fathers to me

I was a young man, old man
Only a kid, man
And I was dreaming 'bout that promised land
But I was stuck in my dead-end town
Just a petty thief and I was waiting for the day of my release

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

I saw the flash in your eye
Just as you arrived
Girl, you're so damn mysterious and sly
Now, why am I not surprised?
Well if this is supposed to happen, then I'll just let it happen to me

Walking on solid ground
I found the face of the moon
He was smiling down on us singing his toothless tune
He says, "my light luminates one love
So sing me to sleep and let those stars have their way with me tonight."

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

I was a young girl, strong girl
A woman with girl
So you found me singing 'bout my love for this world
Making big steps towards redemption
A medicine wheel and a gateway into the ocean

Moving and shaking 'bout
Got to clear my headlight
What are my intentions here?
And are you ready for a ground-breaking way of bein'?
I'm talking off that grid and empowering a conscious way of living

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

My homies keep me in line
Keep me from straying off the wayside
I keep their pores tingling and their tongues tied
And I'm learning how to cautiously rise
Against a disguise that legally refuses compromise

If I had things my way
I'd put some hope on your plate
I'm talking sauteed trust and an entree of faithful
Oh, and eradicate all self-pity
You got a lot of work to do, so get busy, homie, go on get busy
(Get busy!)

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

Hey, what does that mean?
I don't know, but it's daaaamn good
Mmhmm, that fills me up nice
