I pulled a flower from the garden of pure Fleur de Jardins Her bloodline mixed, the Philippines with New Orleans The vibe made me think of Diahann Carroll in Claudine
Whoever couldn´t see it, then so be it like I mean A queen nightingale and her wings whisper the sky a tale The sun and moon are her biggest fans, they send her mail Skin caramel, a magnetism none could parallel From Venus to Venezuel´, they call her Miss Michelle Her beauty truly a treasure, her laughter was a song No way I could ever be right if lovin´ her was wrong There was times my character might have been less than strong She would leave, but she´d always come back where she belong
She got the whole wide world under her finger When we were young, she came in and stung me with a stinger My Nefertiti, Amina, Makeba, my Azinga The light in which I´ma linger I´d probably do anything for that girl
That girl break your heart That girl tear you apart
Some nights, I lay awake and feel all of my thoughts runnin´ I tally my regrets, upsets, and shortcomings What have I been taught from ´em? Some souls are sutured And when you support someone, you invest in the future Some days, it´s apple cider, the next could be kombucha
Or celery through the juicer and tellin´ me, "Do a booster" She mighty, Aphrodite and never a true Medusa She´s never been too obtrusive long as we been exclusive At first, love was elusive, this old heart was icy The cold part: I thought the final wifey was unlikely My lover friend, my spiritual twin, yeah, nothing like me And rightfully so, I never met somebody more striking
And yo, she got the whole wide world under her finger When we were young, she came in and stung me with a stinger
My Nefertiti, Amina, Makeba, my Azinga The light in which I´ma linger I´d probably do anything for that girl
That girl break your heart That girl tear you apart
