naila keleta-mae and jason promesse - imani faith lyrics

[part 1]
jah give i
imani
faith to see it through

[part 2]
my womb is empty
longing to be filled with innocence
opportunity
risk

my eyes tell me it would be evil to prepare a bed
to foster a seed
to join spirits with the one i love in the face of this society

hatred a monster so great it need not hands to fight
like a virus
a disease that enters the mind of this kind
feeds on virgin cells
breathes through racist tongues
sings through the minds of interviewers
laughs through the belly of privileged ceos
speaks through the mouths of prime ministers
beats through the billy clubs of police officers
preys on the youth through guidance counsellors’
misguided advice
yet, my womb aches because it’s so empty
and my heart burns when i look at my society
when i see what awaits young spirits who look like me

[part 3]
jah give i
imani
faith to see it through

just give i
imani
faith to see it through

their nose will never be straight enough
no education can educate them enough
no weave will make their hair long enough
no mother’s love can protect them enough
from the pain or the anger

reduced to tears but not of sadness
of a frustration so deep
because i am
perceiving it as a blessing
believing it’s a blessing
giving thanks for the blessing and manifestation of this life
[part 4]
but
the surface is just one aspect of me
just one facet of who i be
doesn’t define my essence
restrict the fullness of my presence
there is so much more to this life
than what the naked eye sees
i know this
and still my womb is empty
so empty

[part 5]
jah give i
imani
faith to see it through

just give i
imani
faith to see it through

jah give i
imani
faith to see it through

just some faith to see it through
just some faith to see it through
just some faith

please
