She’d Say (feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
You never got to meet your grandma did ya?
Every night, I got you kissin' on her picture
Cuts me up that you will never listen
To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
I could tell you she was quite the mixture
Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
Truth is, she's right there in you
She's a part of you, you don't have a choice
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words
She'd say
You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card
She'd say
You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part
She'd say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
She said, take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world
Spend your days tryna lift the other girls
You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls
I'll be with you every step of the way, ayy
Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out
Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts
Remember God is like the Sun, he always comes out
Just when you think the dark's here to stay
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words
She'd say
You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card
She'd say
You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part
She'd say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
She'd say, listen to your daddy
In his voice, you will hear me
I know he will sing my song to you
And know that I'm happy
And you'll always have me
I'm watching everything you do
She'd say
You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card
She'd say
You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part
She'd say
You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
Ella diría (hazaña. Ladysmith Mambazo Negro)
Nunca conociste a tu abuela, ¿verdad?
Todas las noches, te besaba en su foto
Me corta que nunca escucharás
Por el dulce y dulce sonido de su voz
Podría decirte que era toda una mezcla
De una mamá, un chamán y una pistola de fuego
La verdad es que ella está ahí dentro de ti
Ella es parte de ti, no tienes elección
Querida, la sentirás
En tu mente, la oirás
Y si pudiera usar palabras, use palabras
Ella diría que
Eres hermosa, pero no exageres esa carta
Ella diría que
Eres espiritual, así que nunca olvides esa parte
Ella diría que
Eres mucho más fuerte de lo que crees que eres
Deja que tu corazón, deja que tu corazón te dirija el camino
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
Ella dijo, cuida de tus hermanas, me refiero a su mundo entero
Pasa tus días tryna levantar a las otras chicas
Viniste con amor, un propósito, y los rizos de tu madre
Estaré contigo en cada paso del camino, ayy
No vivas tu vida Tryna se mezcla, sobresalga
Confía en tu instinto y no te metas en esas dudas
Recuerda que Dios es como el Sol, siempre sale
Justo cuando crees que la oscuridad está aquí para quedarse
Querida, la sentirás
En tu mente, la oirás
Y si pudiera usar palabras, use palabras
Ella diría que
Eres hermosa, pero no exageres esa carta
Ella diría que
Eres espiritual, así que nunca olvides esa parte
Ella diría que
Eres mucho más fuerte de lo que crees que eres
Deja que tu corazón, deja que tu corazón te dirija el camino
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
Ella diría, escucha a tu papá
En su voz, me oirás
Sé que te cantará mi canción
Y sé que soy feliz
Y siempre me tendrás
Estoy viendo todo lo que haces
Ella diría que
Eres hermosa, pero no exageres esa carta
Ella diría que
Eres espiritual, así que nunca olvides esa parte
Ella diría que
Eres mucho más fuerte de lo que crees que eres
Deja que tu corazón, deja que tu corazón te dirija el camino
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
Eso es lo que ella diría
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
