Dawn Nubya Garcia (Ft. Esperanza Spalding)

Walled in so-called God's offense
Or make a break and melt
Half bull, half goddess
These are the labyrinth myths on me
From the million flights I've fashioned in my mind
I know the sky to be tall and free
So far, that dangerous sun ripens me
Plumper than a sunset giving way
To the unfurling of Black
Come, new story begin
Rising with dawn in my skin

Luminous, my way is waxing in the sun
Moon-like, I rise on poetic wings
I'm not afraid of the maze
Humans made
Dare you to ascend dreams of your own
Free until death has its way
Long as you're alive
Go on and find you some sun
