lirik lagu bridges – metallic.words (t’afari steede)
water*way, water*way
focus, focus i
i’m just trying to keep my focus
he was my water*way
he couldn’t water me(x2)
had to plant my own seeds
and i’ll share my leaves with you
blooming in their own hue
i watch you
bend over
spine twisting, rib*cage climbing towards skin
stretching, fingers extended in efforts to reach your
ankles
does your voice find
a place to hide
lingering in de dusty crevices of his mind?
or do your thoughts grow mold
spending days in his cold corners
only to be released
stale
plastered in some condiment
he filters over your words
tell me, does your neck hurt?
how do you allow your voice to get lost
voice to get lost
voice to get lost
woman?
voice to get lost, woman
wondering like you’re lost, wondering like you’re lost woman
wondering like you’re lost
he was my water*way
he could not water me (x2)
building pathways
he could not follow me
sometimes men like bridges
but make your own decisions
he was my water*way
but i was not growing
he was my water*way
but it wasn’t flowing
but because you cross them
don’t mean you can’t cross back
or find your own path
had to find my own path
i always did, even as a kid
chose sore soles, wrinkled palms
freedom*fighting fuh a mother*land
whose hands i had never seen but felt when i heard
his voice rumble
earth*shattering quakes
ground split in rippling waves
over my spine
crackling open hidden rooms
still remember father foisting fist through bedroom wall
i would choose him
open up chest for bullet calls
wuh you know bout fighting?
miss victorian parents fighting?
two*storey building
pretty dresses on evenings
gun*shots and you frighten?
did you wear a pretty dress
when you found him
why do you wield with your heart
instead of a sword or a pen
don’t you know the tools of men
aren’t broken quite so easy
you think it was easy?
i had it easy?
babies can’t sleep
when not brittle to de bone
dreaming of heat
bright white flames
painting my face in de morning wid de ashes
so they don’t know i was afraid
don’t you think i was afraid?
don’t you know de backbone
carries de most weight?
and i couldn’t crumble
nah, i couldn’t crumble
’cause when black women fumble
we all break
