ELZhi - Nefertiti lyrics
[ELZhi - Nefertiti lyrics]
Let me be the first to say that I'm amazed
With all that you do
That's some real magic, not voodoo
A work of art crafted to become a goddess
Damn, girl, you swagged out
Tell me how you stay so modest
Honestly, I'm tryna know you well, yeah
Sweep you off your feet and
Out your red bottoms
How they treat you like you mental
And don't have a head problem?
I'm sure that you not immune
But you don't stay in bed sobbin' i'm amazed
With the person that your father taught
And who your mama raised
Not them Lady Marmalades
I'm talkin' real queens
Someone like Coretta Scott King
Shirley Chisholm that'd bе down to roll
Some -ism in the drop while
Convеrsing 'bout the stars
Not a lot of makeup
But you good at hiding scars
Nefertiti if we get the chance to meet
I hope you never leave me
Never ever, please, don't, please
If I miss a shot
Who gon' hustle for my reeves?
Who gon' help me hustle up?
I wonder if it's that your skin
Is dipped in black gold
Is it that your ancestors
Worked the backroads?
Is it that you helped your man
Realize that he's a king?
Is the debt for those you
Love you'd do by anything
Or maybe it's how you danced at that one spot
Off the Cabernet
Took Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Your eyes carried fire at the Sun God
Sittin' up top
Shinin' down on Egypt for my peoples
From the churches to steeples to the pyramids
I'm tryna build something
With somebody who not scared to
Rock a naughty du'
I would match they worth, and if they mine
I know they got me too
I just wanna say, I went through something
And they got me through
Queen, you got that all in your genes
From all that in your jeans
God blessed you (Yep)
The size of your lips is very special (Yep)
Your curves is more extraterrestrial
I wrestle with the fantasy
You handin' me your fruit
Underneath a banana tree
I'm just sayin', can it be?
You walk by, make a young boy use profanity
(Damn) can I slide you through and
Cook you up a dish, a light snack?
How you pick up on my vibe
And you dish it right back?
Nefertiti since we got the chance to meet
I hope you never leave me
(Never ever, please, don't, please)
I wonder if it's that your skin
Is dipped in black gold
Is it that your ancestors
Worked the backroads?
Is it that you helped your man
Realize that he's a king?
Is the debt for those you
Love you'd do by anything
Or maybe it's how you take care of your body
Essential oils, face masks, shea butter
(That's what it is) or could it be all the
Stones that you rockin'?
Crystal quartz, amethyst, tiger's eye
(That's what it is)
Or maybe it's how you represent the Earth
Mother Earth and the civilization
(That's what it is)
Or could it be how you don't
Take no shit from nobody?
Showin' strength (That's what it is)
