Lyrics
[Intro]
We learnt to love ourselves until we were full
Until we did not need yours
Until we realised our own was enough
We will not apologise for being the night sky
Black, and broken, and beautiful
Our own type of constellation
Don't you know light lives in dark places too?
[Intro]
Yo
(Juls baby)
[Verse 1]
I ain't even gonna lie
I need you on the sly
My feelings get tecky when I'm dealing with my pride
All the things you said were tryna lead me to your mind
But to really see the signs, I had to read between the lines
Our ting runs deep, they ain't gonna understand it
And they don't know I see their compliments are underhanded
Now mandem move all mad all over, some don't want to panic
'Cause I'm coming for your back like, "I ain't gonna fucking have it"
Subtle but erratic, it's only cause of you though
I ain't even plan it, I had to rule it out like pluto
It got me staying static, just to guarantee that you grow
And you know this shit's the truth 'cause unlike your bredrins I ain't telling
[Chorus]
No lie, I need what's precious to you
Comfort in your darkness, beauty humble me too
No lie, show me my journeys in vain
Run fingers through your history and learn my real name
No lie, onside each day
Took me way to long to understand what got made
No lie, no lie, each day
Run fingers through your history and learn my real name
No lie
[Verse 2]
I can't see mother nature in the landscape
Portrait of my history
Could never let them paint a portrait into your dynasty
There's wisdom in your majesty and mystery
God is a black woman, and the universe is part of her infinity
Supple like the soil of the earth you gave birth to
Honey in your heart is golden and full of virtue
Last of the flowers to blossom but you're the first through
Blackest of the berries, I vow to never desert your generational love
So I never felt more safe than when I was placed in her bust
She healed the hate with a hug, mama walking with us all
But you recognise the touch when you feel the rays of the sun
Sweet Lord, guide us, don't see no flaws
Kindness till she came through the door
Honest, I'll forever be yours
[Outro]
Teach me how to love like you love yourself
'Cause I see no evil, speak none too, around you I don't see nothing else
No lie, sweet Lord, guide us, don't see no flaws
Kindness till she came through the door
Honest, I'll forever be yours
Teach me how to love like you love yourself
'Cause I see no evil, speak none too, round you I don't see nothing else
No lie
