| [00:30.35] |
She rested her head upon my chest |
| [00:33.05] |
Sensed liberation in between breaths |
| [00:35.50] |
Wonder if sex is what she found it in |
| [00:38.19] |
Peace, found it laying down with men |
| [00:40.71] |
Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her |
| [00:43.16] |
It was more than bodies we shared with each other |
| [00:45.55] |
We lay under the cover of friends |
| [00:47.97] |
A place where many lovers begin |
| [00:50.30] |
I began, to feel her body shake in my hand |
| [00:52.75] |
Body language, it's so hard trying to understand |
| [00:55.32] |
Usually after sex, it's a good feel |
| [00:57.65] |
Shook by silence, emotion stood still |
| [01:00.39] |
I could feel a tear spill from her grille |
| [01:02.72] |
Hurt from before that began to build |
| [01:04.85] |
She told me hold me, the story she assembled it |
| [01:07.80] |
Tellin' it, trying not to remember it |
| [01:10.00] |
It was a story of innocence taken |
| [01:12.25] |
Thought she could redeem, through love makin' |
| [01:14.64] |
When she was eight she was raped by her father |
| [01:17.21] |
And tried to escape through multiple sex partners |
| [01:19.60] |
Felt pitiful, she had only learned, |
| [01:21.92] |
To love through the physical, inside it burned |
| [01:24.29] |
My heart turned, I thought of what this man did |
| [01:27.12] |
She forgave him, she grew to understand it |
| [01:29.43] |
Her soul was tired and never really rested |
| [01:31.61] |
Only with men through aggression |
| [01:33.55] |
Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason |
| [01:35.98] |
By speaking it, she found freedom |
| [01:38.60] |
Between me and you |
| [01:40.00] |
Sometimes I wish a, careless whisper |
| [01:42.93] |
Still could be heard, without speaking a word |
| [01:47.82] |
Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer |
| [01:52.65] |
I feel so alive lately, you have liberated me |
| [01:57.62] |
She laid, I watched her breathe |
| [01:59.74] |
Happy to be here, not afraid to leave |
| [02:02.73] |
I couldn't conceive her not being here |
| [02:05.29] |
Death in her face her not having fear |
| [02:07.66] |
Less than a year she was diagnosed with it |
| [02:10.03] |
Memories of that year, so close and vivid |
| [02:12.47] |
Happiness, would only visit, once in a while |
| [02:15.29] |
To watch an adult, becoming a child |
| [02:17.74] |
Somehow, I knew she'd make it |
| [02:20.19] |
The life of one so given early would God take it? |
| [02:22.76] |
Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer |
| [02:25.09] |
Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair |
| [02:27.40] |
I stare with my eyes closed |
| [02:29.28] |
Wonder when the body leave does the mind go |
| [02:32.11] |
Watchin' Jordan became less important |
| [02:34.24] |
Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs |
| [02:36.80] |
According to doctors there's no cure |
| [02:39.00] |
We went through doubt, and cases of insure |
| [02:42.26] |
Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs |
| [02:44.77] |
Knew a part of her I could heal with words |
| [02:46.79] |
But the Creator was sending for her |
| [02:48.99] |
What seemed like the end was the beginning for her |
| [02:51.42] |
Like that, she didn't want us to remember her |
| [02:54.25] |
No more medication did she want us to give to her |
| [02:56.69] |
It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath |
| [02:59.64] |
Only to be freed through death |
| [03:02.09] |
Between me and you |
| [03:03.40] |
|
| [03:25.54] |
He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled |
| [03:27.68] |
A lump in his throat, his fear built |
| [03:30.38] |
My whole life it was instilled |
| [03:32.69] |
This ain't the way that men feel |
| [03:35.40] |
A feeling, he said he wish he could kill |
| [03:37.96] |
A feeling, not even time could heal |
| [03:40.41] |
This is how real life's supposed to be |
| [03:42.49] |
For it to happen to someone close to me? |
| [03:45.04] |
So far we'd come, for him to tell me |
| [03:47.68] |
As he did, insecurity held me |
| [03:50.07] |
I felt like he'd failed me |
| [03:52.20] |
To the spirit yelled 'help me' |
| [03:54.90] |
I'd known him for like what seemed forever |
| [03:57.35] |
About going pro we dreamed together |
| [03:59.60] |
Never knew it would turn out like this |
| [04:01.99] |
For so long he'd tried to fight this |
| [04:04.81] |
Now there was no way for him to ignore it |
| [04:07.01] |
His parents found out and hated him for it |
| [04:09.46] |
How could I judge him? Had to accept him if I truly loved him |
| [04:13.22] |
|
| [04:14.28] |
No longer he said had he hated himself |
| [04:16.65] |
Through sexuality he liberated himself |
| [04:20.08] |
Between me and you |
| [04:24.84] |
|
| [05:33.95] |
Liberation... |
| [05:44.23] |
Peace |
