Cornrows n Quilted Skirts
That part of you that shines
Hair in the wind
A smile to the sky
Laying down your strife
Throwing off those heels
Sand between the toes
No doobie for you
But you’ll hug the trees
No longer the hustle
The nine to five
Just say good bye
Cornrows n Quilted skirts
A natural high
Arms out like wings
The heart finally sings
You’re Woodstock revived
Oh Lord, you’re one of them
But you don’t care
Just happy life no longer hurts
Cornrows n Quilted Skirts
I had to leave the point of where I was
Left in the thoughts of hell was pretty rough
I had taken many roads before that wasn’t too wise
Only to end up full circle, what a surprise
Back to square one and I couldn’t get away
From the child in me that wanted to stay
Good bye to the ways of the woe
As I float on down this windy road
The blacktop rivers
The rivers..the blacktop rivers
Seek and you shall find
The freedom of your mind
The blacktop rivers release the blind
Get on the road of discovery
The blacktop rivers of clarity
Letting it go..letting it go
Set your mind free
Blacktop Rivers where my mind goes free
Movin’ to my dream, the road beneath my feet
Pressing forward without touchin’ the ground
Letting the wind brush past me, my thoughts with no sound
I’m just letting my mind go free
On the blacktop rivers to the powers that be
The blacktop rivers where no one can stop me
I’m just letting my mind go free
Blacktop Rivers where my mind goes free
Movin’ to my dream, the road beneath my feet
Pressin’ forward without touchin’ the ground
Letting the wind brush past me, my thoughts with no sound
I’m just letting my mind go free
On the blacktop rivers to the powers that be
The blacktop rivers where no one can stop me
I’m just letting my mind go free
On the blacktop rivers to the powers that be
