lyrics
I wanna kiss you cross your life lines,
make up for lifetimes, where we ain't get to be-a
simple melody; like l-m-n-o-p,
girl, roll away with me and I'll give you what you need
like a soul touch; a slow touch
show you just what passion wants to be when it grows up
i know stuff, that i probably shouldn't,
and wanna share it with you in a way,
I probably shouldn't, but um..good Lord, my God,
you got a way of making situations hard,
you got a brother wondering if you are from mars
cause your walk is out this world, smile full of pearls,
eyes bright as stars, constellations in a swirl,
contemplating conversation, stimulating, toes curl
In reaction to this tongue lashing; i mean verses over lapping
cross your body, to this fashion, i'm rapping,
I make it hard for men to read you; attraction
is something that should naturally happen,
but I ain't never had it happen like this though,
like this though...
((love is fine...))
((show me the way,
to love...show me the way to love))

Black Atticus is one of the most intelligent and heartfelt voices of the new southern hip hop movement.
Hailing from
Knoxville, TN, Atticus weaves the art of conversation through nu-sage wisdom with a dash of mother wit, the hard facts of life, and a honest sense of humor that hits home seamlessly...more
this joint reshaped my whole view on what hip hop albums can be and the range of how they can be structured -- it's soulful, grimey, clever, and dope all at the same time damn. Black Atticus
A joyful celebration of the sounds of Southern rap from an artist who's never felt more at home and in command of her space and vision. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 25, 2023
