Great thread.
Mystic - Fallen Angels
Her album is a (personal) classic...sh*t is bananas.
"....I say prayers for you no matter what the denomination
When I step into a house of god, there's no hesitation
Drop softly to my knees under the flickers from the candles
Try to get a handle, then I speak to you
My love, I hope you're doing fine
Just another day around the way and you were on my mind
Take a moment to relax, gradually fade to black
Give thanks and praises, and then I step back
And softly, I sway silently
Listen, I can hear you say goodbye to me
And it makes me smile, close my eyes and picture you
Pacified for the moment when I'm that close to you
True indeed, I wish you never left
Still you remain in my cypher, it's all in the breath..."
Mystic - Fallen Angels
"...I decided that you didn't mean shyt
That I was really worth lovin and you lossed a gift
Before that, I grew breast and things
Got raped in the bathroom, and the question sings
What it have, could it have, should it have
Been different if I had yo hand to grab?
Would I be easier to love, not so torn inside
If you would've beat that man, and stood by my side?
Would I write sad songs, and court pain daily?
How different would I be if you had raised me?
1997, you called my home
From Telegraph & 43, for the child you never owned
I told you come by, Adam came to help me
You were homeless and drunk, but not lookin uhealthly
We sat for hour's, I asked you every question
We sang on my porch and discussed life lession's
And I loved you, like you had always been they're
You said you'd never leave again, so I released my fears
1999, tryna to sign my deal
Ten years of hard work, finally becomin real
So I brush you off, writin songs for a movie
That was the last time I saw you, forgive me truly
The day my deal was done, you died
Wit the needle in your arm, and angels by your side
And I miss you, tattooed it on my back
Fatherless child, fade to black..."
Dope.....
