(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I sta nd befo re you – brown.
Colo r of the mountai ns
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously withi n my own joy a nd mi sery
Feathers of my wi ngs paralyzed by the di stance of my mi nd
Here I sta nd befo re you, the colo r of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel

Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchi n above
You on the prowl now, downt own, searchi n fo r love
I n all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopi n he with new hit si ngle, i s tryi n t o mi ngle
Today, he i s i n your t own, putti n it down
You i n the car with your friends, followi n my limo around
Putti n a bug i n my boy's ear, your "S" i s fo r free
You'll do anythi ng fo r Omar o r Phil, bri ng you t o me
A nd then me, hypn otized by the devil as well
Hold out my ha nd as an i nvitation i nt o my hotel
No need t o RSVP, place your ha nd i n my palm
As all your girlfriends getti ng jealous, damn she la nded the bomb
Willi ng t o trade your spirit fo r some crass, whack wage
Somethi ng small, somethi ng simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down t o creep
A nd I – pray the Lo rd my soul t o keep

Cho rus:
Afro Angel, bo rn agai nst the wo rld
You don't have t o sell your soul a nd throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never fo rget that you are loved
You know that you are loved

Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fi fteen
Desti ned t o spend hi s li fe i nside a cage it seems
Rage i nside, pride, been denied respect
He can't take it though he gotta earn it
But he ai n't learned that yet
Out on the t own, reckless aba ndon he's been bullied befo re
But now he straps, a nd no mo re
Attitude high
Flexi n on every guy that walk by
But don't start pal
Cuz i f the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
Let's pull it on a stranger
Ahh, fun fo r the crew
Surpri sed when he realized, damn dude got one t oo
Smile's upside down now, games ai n't so cute
Bobby's a deer i n a headlights
Pump, drop it o r I'll shoot
Then l ike a sniper, cleani n hi s ri fle, Bobby di sobeys hi s comma nds
One shot ri ngs out (gunshot) then only the stranger sta nds
Could of swo rn Bobby's blood fo rmed the shape of an angel's wi ngs
But fo r what?

Cho rus:
Afro Angel, bo rn agai nst the wo rld
You don't have t o sell your soul a nd throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never fo rget that you are loved
You know that you are loved

Back i n high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
Hot t o death, though i n tenth grade a teenage mom
Knocked up by some thug named Russ i n the drug game
But had the cutest kid you ever seen
Then all the pressure from her mom
She stepped t o Russ
Told him it's either them drugs o r us
Either them thugs o r us
The ultimatum, either conti nue bei n a thug i n the wo rld
Or start lovi n your girl
A nd say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovi n ya dear
But t o go from $50 Gees a week t o $30 Gees a year
That ai n't happeni n
I guess he wasn't that strong
He came back the next week, a nd the whole family was gone
Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a wo rd
Well, needless t o say, Russ was a little perturbed
Then i n a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
A nd l ike a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone

Upstate Schenectady,
Tamika answered the doo r
It was the last person she expected t o be
They just stared
He said you love me fo r me?
You can do without the cars, vacations, a nd jewelry?
Down with me?
Period.
Through li fe's stress a nd stri fe
She said, Yeah, He said i n that case
Would you please be my wi fe?
Then l ike a sign from the sky, the baby cried
Like an angel si ngs
I love y'all mo re than anythi ng

Cho rus:
Afro Angel, bo rn agai nst the wo rld
You don't have t o sell your soul a nd throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never fo rget that you are loved
You know that you are loved

(Repeat Cho rus)
