Mali Music - Book of Mali (Intro) lyrics

I define them as the, um
The face of the song
I see the music and the boom and the bass
And the shimmering cymbals and all that
As just, like, aesthetics and accessories
But the details of the face come
With the lyrics of the song it, like
Really shows who you are
And what you're saying
Not just what you're bringing
And how you feel
It shows how you're saying it
So I feel the lyrics is just another step
And, uh, and if they're strong enough
When they're strong enough
And usually they are
You don't even need the music
So, it's one of those things
That go hand in hand
And it's a perfect marriage
Between word and melody
