lyrics

INTRO
I want to reconnect to you-oo-oo-oo-ooo
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
I want to reconnect--

VERSE ONE
There’s no breath left in me
No life, there’s no light, no fight in me
I might just get high, take flight in me
Pain is so plenty
Death can come get me
Hell can’t be far from here
Maybe it’d burn my tears
Put something of mine on the rise (Rise)
Evaporate pain out eyes (Eyes)
Maybe then I’d get to live on through the rain
Force the whole world to adapt to change
Flood all the banks and destroy the prisons
Cleanse the whole world like a baptism
But here I am crying spiritually (Oh)
Trying not to give in to defeat (Oh)
Tears like a river immersing me (Yeah)
Show my reflection and it sings (Ooo)

HOOK
I want to reconnect to you-oo-oo-oo-ooo
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
I want to reconnect to you-oo-oo-oo-ooo
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you

VERSE TWO
I wanna know why Yah wants me here
I am too drained to persevere
Last will be first? Well I hate the rear
Everybody sees and nobody cares
I want out, I’m not who I want to be
Got a lack of opportunity lynching me
Young black female, sick of being ignored
A minor broad, hoping that I strike a chord
Cuz I’m done with all the hardship, I’m off it
Shit makes me nauseous, so cautious
When the Baptism droppin, you cop it
Cuz my verses on some Pac shit, they honest
And I hope that you heed me, believe me
Hope my songs make it easy to feel me
Let me know you receive me, the real me
Let your hands hit the ceiling, cuz really…

VERSE THREE
What’s going on in here?
Causing breakdowns in the atmosphere
Something inside me needs to clear
Something so real that I have to share
Cuz do you understand what connections do?
Where two or three are gathered energy is too
Blessed cuz I find my higher self in you
Blessed cuz I find my higher self in you
