A Long Walk - Jill Scott

You’re here, I’m pleased
I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality 
Lord, have mercy on me
I was blind, now I can see
What a king’s supposed to be
Baby I feel free, come on and go with me 

Let’s take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation 
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations 
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18 

Your background it ain’t squeaky clean shit 
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream 
You ain’t no saint, we all are sinners 
But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner
I respect that, man you’re so phat
And you’re all that, plus supreme
Then you’re humble man I’m numb 
Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring 

Let’s take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation 
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations 
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18 

Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday) 
Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony 
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit 
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on, Come on

Elevations, maybe baby, maybe we can save the nation
Come on, Come on
