GIOVANNI - Jamila Woods

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
