Lyrics GIOVANNI - Jamila Woods

GIOVANNI

You might wanna hold my comb
When you find out what I’m made of
You might wanna follow me
And copy all of my mistakes
I’m so nice, so nice
You can’t not smile when I smile
And I cry, I cry
It’s just the rain so I can grow
Any minute now you’ll get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick a apt description
I’m impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon and sunkissed reverend blessed it
Come and listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil me to your aggression
I’m protected
Joycetta prayed on me, momma burned sage for me
None can take that energy away from me
I been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairy tale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that’s right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
Little bitty, you wanna call me
A hundred muthafuckas can’t tell me
How I’m 'posed to look when I’m angry
How I’m 'posed to shrink when you’re around me
Permission denied to rearrange me
I am the Kingdom, I am not your Queen
Hotep better step from up around me
I am not your rib, I am not your Eve
Any minute now you’ll get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick a apt description
I’m impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon and sunkissed reverend blessed it
Come and listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil me to your aggression
I’m protected
Joycetta prayed on me, momma burned sage for me
None can take that energy away from me
I been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairy tale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that’s right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
