Lyrics
I pulled a flower from the garden of pure Fleur de Jardins
Her bloodline mixed The Philippines with New Orleans
The vibe made me think of Diahann Carroll in Claudine
Whoever couldn't see it, then so be it, like I mean
A queen nightingale, and her wings whisper the sky in tail
The sun and moon are her biggest fans, they sent a mail
Skin caramel, her magnetism none could parallel
From Venus to Venezuel', they call her Miss Michelle
Her beauty truly a treasure, her laughter was a song
No way I could ever be right if lovin' her was wrong
There was times my character might have been less than strong
She would leave, but she'd always come back where she belong
She got the whole wide world under her finger
When we were young, she came in, and stung me with a stinger
My Nefertiti, Amina Makeeba, my Azinga
The light in which I'ma linger, I'll probably do anything for that girl
That girl break your heart
That girl tear you apart
Some nights I lay awake, and feel all of my thoughts runnin'
I tally my regrets, upsets, and shortcomings
What have I been taught from 'em? Some souls are sutured
And when you support someone, you invest in the future
Some days, it's apple cider, the next could be kombucha
Or celery through the juicer and tellin' me, "Do a booster"
She mighty, Aphrodite, and never a true Medusa
She's never been too obtrusive, long as we been exclusive
At first, love was elusive, this old heart was icy
The cold part, I thought the final wifey was unlikely
My lover friend, my spiritual twin, yeah, nothing like me
And rightfully so, I never met somebody more strikin'
And yo, she got the whole wide world under her finger
When we were young, she came in, and stung me with a stinger
My Nefertiti, Amina Makeeba, my Azinga
The light in which I'ma linger, I'll probably do anything for that girl
That girl break your heart
That girl tear you apart
