the question is
the space i'm in
is it cocoon?
is it grave?
am i growing?
am i dying?
it's too often hard
to say
life in Black
in the dark
where you can't see
life in Black
life as me
life as she
White supremacists tell me that i should be dead
then the liberals tell me the way to be mad
all these suckers is lucky, they oughta be glad
that i don't come out hittin' with both of these hands, tell ya
when the demons press on me they get that dial tone
call me "alien," baby, you betta phone home.
i'm subliminal maybe you get your mind blown
i'm in the zone. i'm coming strong but the...
question is
the space i'm in
is it cocoon?
is it grave?
am i growing?
am i dying?
it's too often hard
to say
life in Black
in the dark
where you can't see
life in Black
life as me
life as she

i am charcoal beauty
fire, ash and heat
i am never extinguished
burned down
but not defeated
my existence be resistance
every heart beat like darts
you know you not gon’ get far, yes
if you come up in my yard. yes
when the enemy be come for me
i'm on my guard
when the enemy be come for me
i'm on my guard, yes
you come
like thieves in the night
White sheets in the breeze
by the light of fireflies
envy in the green of your eyes
under cover of dark lit skies
you come to pillage my streets of gold
hate in your veins
and a rage in your soul
we not gon’ let you push us back
into the swamp again
fire, thunder, drums again
when the enemy be come for me
i'm on my guard
when the enemy be come for me
i'm on my guard

they all come to see
this great Black magic
empty air beneath our feet
it looks like dancing
they all come to see
the strange wild power
hidden Venus, now revealed
what levitation!
you make me into incense
soaring, rising
far above the demons head
like storming up God's nostrils
untiring. flying but never dead
i have become a gospel
truthteller
keeper of my word instead
instead
they all come to see
the latest fashion
sleeping beauty by a tree
a killer necklace
they all come to see
the oddest witness
not quite bird or human being
some kind of hybrid
you make me into incense
soaring, rising
far above the demons head
like storming up God's nostrils
untiring. flying but never dead
i am a new disciple
truthteller
holier than broken bread
instead
they all come to see
this great Black magic
bright red spirit without wings
they all come to see
it looks like dancing
