Canary

[Pre-Intro]
A single lady bug lost in Magnolia 
[Male Vocal]

[Intro]
The wind,
I feel it like a spirit,
The canary bird sings in my ear,
When I need him too,
On days tears fall uncontrollably,
To the unseen circumstances that arise,
Trying to elevate my way out of this low income life,.

[Chorus]
Inherited naturally from my Negro blood,
The domestic bird’s melody,
Sticks with me for good,
Like the eggs of my grandmother,
The distinctive sound,
I heard it sing,
Shows up when I feel like giving up,
I’m out of my league,
Reminds me of smells like Magnoliaaa…
[Verse]
Who I am,
Blows in the wind that passes me by,
When I’m on the road,
Laying in bed,
Or in rage,
Hear it in the background of lights reflection,
When I’m assimilating,

Coming from a familiar place,
My magic carpet ride,
Takes me away from.
A part of me that’s my own,
While sitting in a meeting,
It seems supernatural,
No one can hear the words,
Or feel the comfort,
They only hear whatever experiences,
That becomes soundscapes to them,
Some can only feel the bad energy,
I imagine,
If they saw turmoil as a child,
If they heard sirens in the wind that passes the nest,
Becoming music that feels like home,

[Chorus]
Inherited naturally from my Negro blood,
The domestic bird’s melody,
Sticks with me for good,
Like the eggs of my grandmother,
The distinctive sound,
I heard it sing,
Shows up when I feel like giving up,
I’m out of my league,
Reminds me of smells like Magnoliaaa…

[Verse]
When I’m out gathering resources,
I can’t express the melody out loud,
Now you see the veil over poverty,
That will never leave,
Shut up by society for speaking out,
The canary bird brings me with his song,
As if he knew me,
Like in my grandmother’s dark despair,
Something unbelievers can believe in,
With a pretty home inside,
You bring the bird inside,
And domesticate it,
Until they heal their heart,
Enough to see the yellow canary sing,
The same poor man hymns,
That somehow makes living ok,
And let him free,
In hopes that he will be better off.

[Outro]
Grandma,
I found myself at the pool,
Stuck because I may know too much,
About what’s behind me,
Than what’s on the other side of the pool,
The wind picks up by the water,
I saw a canary bird high in the tree,
Look down at me,
Then looked to the other side of the water,
Where there was an island I could see,
As if to say he’ll see me if I began to sink,
Without the ability to save me,
He will sing me a free song,
From the Magnolia tree you gave him to rest,


[Outro]

[Male Vocal]
I just want to be me baby,
I just want to be meee (ohhh)
I just want to be me baby,
Free from all creation,
And A-ble to seee,
What the tree hides from me.
