lirik lagu von poe vii - beatrice 1932
[intro: nubi]
“my mind is a maze
open your mind, and you’ll be amazed
at the things that you find that’s lying deep inside
something so beautifully caged
ashes, the womb from birth
i’ma lay this all down first with my intellect
as it interjects this black girl magic into your universe
this world is mine, and you’re blessed to be a feature in this infinite story, at my leisure
as i’m surely learning the inner’s journey lies blessed inside the best teachers
yea i’m an open book, with a big image
read between the lines, to get the bigger picture
this vibe was your favorite pre~set when the keys hit
’cause this beat be so different”
[verse 1]
my granny on my father’s side
just happy that i had a chance
to meet you in my 20s
and i’m thankful for the conversations
vividly painted, look
you’ve done so much for pops
i hope you smiling down from heaven
cause i’m standing at your bedside
just watchin’ as you’re sleepin’
they say that cancer’s in your brain
and death is soon to creep in
you livin’ off of them ice cubes
and an i.v. for your nutrients
beatrice, a miracle the strength
you’ve shown through all of this
i smile for you
[chorus]
in the booth, we was in the booth
toasted up to you, thinkin’ back
little granny had the shotty
and the mac, c~ck it back
now we groove to this
we just payin’ dues for this
beatrice, thank you for the memories
you gave to this
in the booth, we was in the booth
toasted up to you, thinkin’ back
little granny had the shotty
and the mac, c~ck it back
now we groove to this
we just payin’ dues for this
beatrice, thank you for the memories
you gave to this
[verse 2]
rose pedals at your grave site, you know i’m missin’ you
just wish we had some more time to build upon our issues
teach me about your history and the lessons you’ve learned
since 1932, i know you’ve watched this country burning
you witnessed segregation, being a girl from the south
and running from the klan, something i’ma never have to know about
you witnessed martin luther jr. and malcolm x assassinated
crooked cops and water hoses within this nation
you moved to california and placed your roots in la
before the neighborhood was crippin’
they was eating up at your place
divorced your first husband
after you had to pull that pistol on him
cause you ain’t never been no type
to let no man hit you
your second marriage ended off
with a knock at the door, another casualty of war
he left you with three kids on your floor, and i forgive you
cause even though you weren’t around, you did the best you could
with all that hurt you hadn’t found and i smile for you
[chorus]
in the booth, we was in the booth
toasted up to you, thinkin’ back
little granny had the shotty
and the mac, c~ck it back
now we groove to this
we just payin’ dues for this
beatrice, thank you for the memories
you gave to this
in the booth, we was in the booth
toasted up to you, thinkin’ back
little granny had the shotty
and the mac, c~ck it back
now we groove to this
we just payin’ dues for this
beatrice, thank you for the memories
you gave to this
