Maya Lyrics by LifeLines

2015

[Intro: Maya Angelou]
And somehow
I'm able to get down
Inside myself, deep
Where a poem may live
And find out what it has to say

[Verse: Life]
She said money don't make you
If your heart can't match to the cash you equate to
How you tryna stay rich, when you can't even stay true?
You're displaced, goin' round in circles like a disc break

Yeah, however long it takes you
Everybody wanna talk but nobody wanna face you
They see the way you walk
They really tryna sway you
But when you're in the game you don't know who's tryna play you

It's the way you mask it
They can't seem to grasp it
Got the harshest devil on my shoulder with the horns on me
I don't smoke weed, I smell like I got the lawn on me
Thorns on me
I ain't got a son but it dawned on me

Maya, I know you're up with messiah
I feel your soul taking me higher
You taught me to wear my heart on my sleeve
I know you're gone but it's hard to believe
You're my angel

[Hook: Maya]
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave
I am the hope and the dream of the slave
And so naturally...
There I go rising

[Verse: Life]
I'm an orphan
Surrounded by greed & extortion
Take heed & caution
Maya told me that I'm awesome
That's the tip of the iceberg baby
Lookin' fly & I'm smelling like iceberg baby

I was surprised when you knew about D'Angelo & Voodoo
That's when you told me "Nothing's gonna work unless you do"
And I knew that
I'm sticking to my paper like blu-tack
Saw you in Poetic Justice with Janet & 2Pac

Got my roots back
It's time to turn up where's my suit at?
Blatantly, I've had dreams of things chasing me
Wake up & catch my fears facing me
What will God make of me
I pray heaven's got a vacancy

Only time will tell so I sit & wait patiently
My thoughts embracing me but where are they taking me?
Under?
I drift into a slumber, aimlessly
Cause back then I was younger
You're my angel

[Hook: Maya]
It is a long journey
It's a sweet one
Bitter sweet
I'm very blessed
