don't need
no trivialities
I'm doin my own thing
I do just as I please
it is a blessed life
no worries and no strife
I'm doin fine
don't want
no new automobile
don't want no tv screen
don't want no happy pill
don't want no high heel shoes
don't want no shiny jewels
ain't got the time
ain't got the time and that's cause
even in the dark
baby, I can see
by the light of fire
burning inside of me
even in the dark
there's a wired glow
pulsing in the night like a siren singing low
even in the dark, woah woah woah
don't buy
no nonsense what they say
and what they selling me
on they magazine page
I ain't no dollar sign
I got my own two eyes
I know what's right
no way
don't want no credit card
don't want no bank account
don't want no shopping mall
don't want no mortgages
I'll do without it all
and live for today
and live for today and that's cause
even in the dark
baby, I can see
by the light of fire
burning inside of me
even in the dark
there's a wired glow
pulsing in the night like a siren singing low
even in the dark
don't want
no husband or no kids
don't want no diamond ring
no nice white picket fence
no wishing I could go and start over again
I'm living free
no thanks
don't want no uniform
no 9 to 5 living
no water cooler jokes
no morning traffic jam
and no retirement plan
I'll be alright

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
