eli arbor - the morning after كلمات الأغنية

[intro: eli arbor]
it’s morning
we stand next to each other fighting for sp-ce in my tiny bathroom mirror
she sees a zit and pops it for me
i see a hair clip she missed
“should i whiten my t–th?” i ask her

[verse: jae]
no, i like your stains
would you ask me to erase the bad parts of your brain?
would you ask me if you should change the skin your in?
just to make yourself feel less strange
cause i love you for who you are
for me you’ve always been a shooting star
here today but gone tomorrow
now your here to stay please won’t you be my sun?
and i can be your moon, without you i won’t shine for anyone
cause you’ve seen my dark sides
seen me change with the tides
seen me be the me that i hide on the inside
seen me rise when the night fell, and fall in the day
seen me race across the sky to chase these fake stars away
but they never stay, always trail in their wake
but you shine bright, so your light can help me forget
and i keep telling you this but you won’t listen
you’ll always be eli, even if eli is different

[hook, part 1: jae]
i don’t need you, don’t need you
i don’t need you, don’t need you
i don’t need you, don’t need you
i know my worth don’t need the word of someone else
and you don’t me, don’t need me
you don’t me, don’t need me
you don’t me, don’t need me
you need to see your worth and learn to love yourself

[hook, part 2: eli arbor]
but i want you, i want you
i want you, i want you
but i want you, i want you
that’s the most honest thing i’ll ever say
and you want me, you want me
yeah you want me, you want me
well i just hope that you want me, you want me
but if i don’t love myself then how can you stay?

[interlude: james baldwin]
…because the flesh is all you have
if you mortify that, there’s no hope for you
everything you find out, you find out through your senses
everything awful that happens to you and everything marvelous that happens to you happens to you in this frame
this tenement, this mortal envelope
which it should be
instead of beating it with chains and hammering nails through it and hanging it on crosses
it should be, the celebration: your life, your body
and in that concept comes back into the world
it will come back only through the black people that have been submerged so long
and that will change not only the black personality, that will change the world
i’ve seen janitors, black janitors in overalls, prouder than any english king
with a much more real pride
and that is what i would like to see
anyway, the change in personality will come about in that direction
because as, as one begins to come out of the mines and strike off the chains
by some miracle what was nearly murdered in africa is still there
humanity cannot be destroyed
and that’s what’s coming back

[outro: donald glover]
…i mean we’re all alone in the end
if that’s the way it has to be
