Freedom

We were once free
Foot heavy
Petal to the metal
We burnt asphalt like sage
At a spiritual ritual
We invoked the essence of purity
Underneath our fingertips
This was our moment to jus be
Wind skipping between the locks of our hair
We felt sun rays beating against our flesh
Heat touched close to bones
Oshun was rooted in our marrow
Our engines roared to the rhythm of our pulse
Heart beating like congas as we accelerated through time
You were the only one for me
We saw things that blew mind
Bent back
Tire rubber shreds
Reconstructed to create art right before our eyes
You were the only one for me
Hands gripping your love handles
Held tightly between my warm palms
Enamored moments of adrenaline as we switch positions
Now I’m on top
Knew this would be one hell of a ride
Balanced my chakras
2 lifetimes ago
Cause I knew this day would come
Reached jnana while subdued in your clutch
Ogun stood strong to roof
Positioned fixed from one end to the other
He protected us as we stole the moon away from the night
5 finger discounts trailing across the heavens
Stuffed it inside our pockets
Bursting with child’s laughter between our teeth
it felt good to be free
Remember those days when it was jus you and me?
