[00:01.76]	afro angel
[00:03.09]
[00:03.65]	Here I stand before you - brown.
[00:06.34]	Color of the mountains
[00:08.30]	Colossal as the earth
[00:09.74]	Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
[00:13.47]	Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
[00:18.17]	Here I stand before you, the color of the night
[00:21.61]	Frozen by the potential of me
[00:24.17]	(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel
[00:28.07]
[00:29.22]	Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
[00:32.19]	You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love
[00:35.11]	In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
[00:38.24]	Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle
[00:41.54]	Today, he is in your town, puttin it down
[00:43.27]	You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around
[00:46.95]	Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
[00:49.62]	You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
[00:52.42]	And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
[00:55.43]	Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
[00:58.20]	No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
[01:01.12]	As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb
[01:03.85]	Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
[01:08.51]	Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
[01:11.01]	But now I lay me, down to creep
[01:13.15]	And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep
[01:15.92]	Afro Angel, born against the world
[01:21.55]	You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
[01:26.73]	Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
[01:33.39]	Never forget that you are loved
[01:38.27]	You know that you are loved
[01:41.23]
[01:44.39]	Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen
[01:48.14]	Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems
[01:51.14]	Rage inside, pride, been denied respect
[01:53.88]	He can't take it though he gotta earn it
[01:55.70]	But he ain't learned that yet
[01:57.14]	Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before
[02:00.04]	But now he straps, and no more
[02:01.97]	Attitude high
[02:03.18]	Flexin on every guy that walk by
[02:04.88]	But don't start pal
[02:06.02]	Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
[02:08.53]	Let's pull it on a stranger
[02:10.28]	Ahh, fun for the crew
[02:12.07]	Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too
[02:14.03]	Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute
[02:17.51]	Bobby's a deer in a headlights
[02:19.04]	Pump, drop it or I'll shoot
[02:20.28]	Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands
[02:23.88]	One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands
[02:26.74]	Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings
[02:30.09]	But for what?
[02:32.98]	Afro Angel, born against the world
[02:37.14]	You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
[02:42.06]	Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
[02:49.19]	Never forget that you are loved
[02:53.56]	You know that you are loved
[03:00.61]	Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
[03:04.09]	Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom
[03:06.97]	Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game
[03:10.24]	But had the cutest kid you ever seen
[03:12.45]	Then all the pressure from her mom
[03:14.47]	She stepped to Russ
[03:15.61]	Told him it's either them drugs or us
[03:17.58]	Either them thugs or us
[03:19.26]	The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world
[03:22.95]	Or start lovin your girl
[03:24.29]	And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear
[03:27.27]	But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year
[03:30.43]	That ain't happenin
[03:31.77]	I guess he wasn't that strong
[03:33.29]	He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone
[03:35.98]	Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word
[03:38.93]	Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed
[03:41.96]	Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
[03:44.86]	And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone
[03:47.99]	Upstate Schenectady,
[03:49.88]	Tamika answered the door
[03:51.43]	It was the last person she expected to be
[03:53.42]	They just stared
[03:54.81]	He said you love me for me?
[03:56.52]	You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?
[03:59.75]	Down with me? Period.
[04:01.40]	Through life's stress and strife
[04:02.72]	She said, Yeah, He said in that case
[04:04.27]	Would you please be my wife?
[04:05.41]	Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried
[04:07.49]	Like an angel sings
[04:09.13]	I love y'all more than anything
[04:11.13]	Afro Angel, born against the world
[04:17.24]	You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
