The Suitors Zora feat A. Billi Free

I died by myself without a dime (no dime)

My real worth reaches across time (cross time)

Rooted in my truth let my imagination fly

If I only knew, I already knew

Big country vibes, a lil bit of city with it

Infuse words with a whole lot of feeling in em

Will not assimilate, clear positioning

Steeped in Blackness, to all of your benefits

I know how to wield language knife of tongue cut sharply

Feel the magic in my body

I love nature largely

Many tongues, mighty pen and the life of the party

A treasure, a novelty

Vivacious, fiery and feisty

For the folk and I studied anthropology

Who you know get to kick it with some zombies?

How I put it on display, how I alchemize the pain

And my legacy sustains, remains

Griot with no fiat

Mad mic drops for the future with my street talk

Too much sauce for the bougie kept the jawns shocked

Stayed stuntin on em with a grin, what a gem

Sparkle laughter through the mind and through the hand

I told em burn my papers, but there were other plans

I wasn’t writing the struggle du jour

I wrote of human things

Of love and in between

So tell my horse, Moses, the mule and the men

Every Tongue Got To Confess on de Law

Cause it’s dust tracks on the Road

And their Eyes are Watching God

I died by myself without a dime

My real worth reaches across time

Rooted in my truth let my imagination fly

If I only knew, I already knew

I died by myself without a dime

My real worth reaches across time

Rooted in my truth let my imagination fly

If I only knew, I already knew

Zora Zora Zora Zora Zora

Zora Zora Zora Zora
