Will Smith - Afro Angel Lyrics

Send "Afro Angel" ringtone to your cell

Here i stand before you

Brown color of the mountains colossal as the earth

Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery

Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind

Here i stand before you the color of the night

Frozen by the potential of me an afro angel

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Afro angel off your pedestal from perchin' above

You on the prowl now downtown searchin' for love

In all the wrong places outside your radio stations

Hopin' he with new hit single is tryin' to mingle

Today he is in your town puttin' it down

You in the car with your friends followin' my limo around

Puttin' a bug in my boy's ear your 's' is for free

You'll do anythin' for omar or phil bring you to me

And then me hypnotized by the devil as well

Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel

No need to rsvp place your hand in my palm

As all your girlfriends gettin' jealous damn she landed the bomb

Willing to trade your spirit for some crass whack wage

Somethin' small somethin' simple as a pass back stage

But now i lay me down to creep

And i pray the lord my soul to keep

Afro angel born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro angel sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved you know that you are loved

Uh uh uh uh uh

Lil bobby got a gun now age fifteen

Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems

Rage inside pride been denied respect

He can't take it though he gotta earn it but he ain't learned that yet

Out on the town reckless abandon he's been bullied before

But now he straps and no more attitude high

Flexin' on every guy that walk by but don't start pal

'cuz if the gun came from the whiz cowardly lion got heart now

Let's pull it on a stranger ahh fun for the crew

Surprised when he realized damn dude got one too

Smile's upside down now games ain't so cute

Bobby's a deer in a headlights pump drop it or i'll shoot

Then like a sniper cleanin' his rifle bobby disobeys his commands

One shot rings out then only the stranger stands

Could of sworn bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings

But for what?

Afro angel born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro angel sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved you know that you are loved

You know you are loved yeah

Back in high school tamika was the sweetest the bomb

Hot to death though in tenth grade a teenage mom

Knocked up by some thug named russ in the drug game

But had the cutest kid you ever seen

Then all the pressure from her mom she stepped to russ

Told him it's either them drugs or us either them thugs or us

The ultimatum either continue bein' a thug in the world

Or start lovin' your girl

And say god bear me witness no doubt lovin' ya dear

But to go from dollar 50 gees a week to dollar 30 gees a year

That ain't happenin' i guess he wasn't that strong

He came back the next week and the whole family was gone

Yo they straight moved away without as little as a word

Well needless to say russ was a little perturbed

Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend shawn

And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone

Upstate schenectady tamika answered the door

It was the last person she expected to be

They just stared he said "do you love me for me?

You can do without the cars vacations and jewelry?"

"down with me? period through life's stress and strife"

She said "yeah" he said "in that case would you please be my wife?"

Then like a sign from the sky the baby cried

Like an angel sings i love y'all more than anything

Afro angel born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro angel sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved you know that you are loved

Afro angel born against the world

You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride

Afro angel sent from heaven above

Never forget that you are loved you know that you are loved
