Lyrics:
What do you say to
having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby yeah
Need it baby
Won’t beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah
What do you say to
having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby
Need it baby
Won’t beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah what

Let free be between us
You my Medina
A queen like Amina or Fatima
redeemer of passion
we both have compassion for the black diaspora
In all this vastness
You in my plans thinking of a master
The essence of your dance the truth of your laughter
That I want to capture and cultivate stature
I’ll be here for you till the hear after
There’s a clear path to love inside you
My names Rashid it means ima guide to
We both are driven
That’s why we arrive to
A place where now anything we can ride through
To tell the truth I lied and been lied to
Seeker of a deeper ether
You don’t have to hide you
Time to be in front
Time to be beside you
I don’t want to move with nobody besides you

What do you say
To having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby
Need it baby
Won’t beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah what
What do you say
To having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby
Need it baby
Won’t beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah what

In me you see a leader like Stokley or Mumia
The ways of a king
Honorable and sincere
To get the people freed up
The soul of a rebel with his feet up
When it feel like the world about to erupt
Ima hold you down until you see up
Optimism that we got from wisdom
We from the same tribe
Then we locked in rhythm
To de-block the system
We did lots of living and lots of giving
A higher vibration but it’s not religion
I wanna pour into the riches of your being
We don’t diss each other even when we disagreein’
Let’s two step to freedom
And help the world see themselves in God and every human being
You’re everything and you happen for a reason
Your presence is a joy to be in

What do you say
To having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby
Need it baby
Won’t beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah what
What do you say
To having one of them hell of a nights
Move it babe
We can make it larger than life
Lead me baby
Need it baby
Wont beat around the bush like they do
‘Cause I see something special in you yeah what

Yeah ya yeah yea x4
