I am Lyrics – Aja Monet
Singer: Aja Monet
Title: I am
I am a flowerpot sitting on the subway platform
Dreaming of a southern sky
I am the southern sky
Bruised hues of blues and inner city with an ocean front view
A holy ghost tongue possessed between the pews
Sleepless in the twilight
A vision board invisible to eyesight
Loose hips humming under summer porch lights
I’m the djembe drum
Rhythms spun between love-drunk knees
I’m a runaway river
A sawed-off shotgun creeping through the leaves
A kiss that quivers
A machete that bleeds
I’m the bananas on Josephine’s skirt, a brown liquor flirt
Thе gardenia in Billy Holiday’s hair
I’m a blues song in a cigarettе’s glare
A beaded Zulu hat on Makeba’s head
Bob Marley’s lock, a natty dread
I’m Marcus Garvey’s last microphone
Ancient lady of grace Nefertiti’s royal throne, I’m a poem
I’m a poem handwritten by La Lupe on the Malecón
A grassroots meeting of orishas in the bas#ment of a brownstone
I’m a homegirl homegrown, made of magic
A mermaid of memories swimming through tragic times
I’m the one that got away
I’m the love, I’m the love
I’m the love I never had
A cipher of butterfly wings
I’m a little girl who had big dreams and prayers in my mother’s purse
I’m the color of Saturday, bouncing off the walls
I drizzle in the wind like a sun shower shawl
I’m the final hour, before the moon rests
I’m what a day looks like, honest and undressed
I’m la cascarilla on the door, windows and vents
A protector of realms
A protector of realms
I’m a Bwiti shaman who ascends
I’m the mirror
I am the mirror
I am the mirror, I’m the root and the end
I am
I am
I am not that I am
I am and we are
We, we, you and me
I am
I am because of you
We are here together
There’s no me without you
I am
I said there’s no me without you
We are, we, we, I, I, I
I am
I am, because we are
We are
I’m only possible because we are, you and me, we are, woo
I am
You made me possible
I am, ooh, I am
I am, I am because we are
