akua naru - the offering كلمات الأغنية
[intro: akua naru]
the blackest joy
(the newborn, the elder, the sage, the televangelist)
[chorus]
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
what do you have to offer?
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
lay it at the altar
[verse 1: akua naru]
uh, i was born an elder in a young world, thus the terror
seasoned ancestor return, karmic trial and error
the debt collector, that birth mark in the mirror
find a record, climb giant steps under the chandelier
[?] laments for real, [?] your golden seal
heal broken hearts, carried like [?]
somebody heard naima whisper up in ‘trane’s ear
life and death lovers hidden [?] trained seers
know your weapon when the rain clears
choose this body ’cause the spectrum of the pleasure and the pain fears
that bigger set for this domain to fear
politics, p-ssionate, poetic, farrakhan, shakespeare
pen the ruckus, ain’t no games here
young marie [?] used to sing [?]
when mama [?] say she can’t hear
she tuned out when you [?] figure it’s time, reclaim still
[chorus]
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
what do you have to offer?
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
lay it at the altar
[verse 2: akua naru]
national treasure, stable hand fan the flame better
into the set-up, neater, bigger, love you to the letter
supreme measures, sp-ce and time between eras
rare phenomenon, prophecy sellers, they ain’t tell us
warning is foreign to the naked eye
seven points activate at the base of spines, feed the time
twenty-two cards waitin’ to confide
mine are savage, confuse twerk for jamaican whine
lord, ‘member the night the fortune teller died
mama heard him callin’ over mortals, our daughters from the other side
force of the whisper turned the loud crowd
made the baby laugh in his bubble bath on a cloud nine
[?] lives hold the song close
used to hide my palms behind sacred scripts and long chords
here and now, [?]
offer it all as you standin’ at the crossroad, come on
[chorus]
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
what do you have to offer?
is you gon’ get it right this time?
is you gon’ get it right?
so you gon’ get it right this time
lay it at the altar
