Nag Champa Gold Lyrics[Chorus: Nina Simone and Akua Naru]
Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn
It's a new day (Uh, yeah)
Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel (Uh-huh)
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel (Yeah)
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel (Yeah)
It's a new dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn
It's a new day
[Verse 1: Akua Naru]
A fly poet, Earth traveler, Bohemian type
I write to light mic's for rap scavengers
Tight, the opposite of cellulite
I just might breath on ya insight
Confiscate your height, right?
Watch the green tea sipper exhale light
Inhale the inner scope of Christ
And the flow nice
Cats afraid to say the same name twice
The neighborhood's got us caged like mice
So the page they write
"Who"s and "what"s in this maze called life
While privileges be saved for whites
Say enslavement twice
Some say we weak, afraid to fight
Another murder on a Saturday night
Another journalist type
Another rape on a Friday night
And then the murder on the Saturday night
Another newspaper write
Another murder on a Saturday night
Can you imagine what my Sunday be like? Lord

[Chorus: Nina Simone and Akua Naru]
Birds flyin' high, (Uh) you know how I feel (Hey, yeah)
Sun in the sky, (It feels good to know) you know how I feel (Yeah, all right, hey)
Breeze driftin' on by, (Uh, I write a song to let) you know how I feel (Uh-huh)
It's a new dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn (Yeah, uh, and tell the world about, ay)
It's a new day (Uh, yo)
[Verse 2: Akua Naru]
And at night I like to think of myself as a villain
Kidnap your sentence, watch your paragraph catch feelings
I autographed this track, witness the sound of that
In the business of shittin', get your [?] coat, it's a wrap
My part of speech beyond reach like Ghandi
On the search inside me with hopes to finally find peace
They it's just another step away, and it's just another step away
As these words sway, dramatic phrase on the pen stage
Fire ablaze, I write myself in the maze as Nina Simone combs the tangles of my day
And Nina Simone combs the tangles of my day, like

[Chorus: Nina Simone and Akua Naru]
Birds flyin' high, (I write a song to let) you know how I feel (Uh-huh, yeah)
Sun in the sky, (It feels good to know that) you know how I feel (Yeah, uh, hey)
Breeze driftin' on by, (I write a song to let) you know how I feel (Uh-huh, yeah)
It's a new dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn—dawn (Uh, and tell the world, y'all)
It's a new day (Uh, they say it's like this, huh)

[Bridge: Akua Naru and Nina Simone]
They say that peace is a step away
Say that peace is a step away (It's a new day), hey
They say that truth is a step away
Say that truth is a step away (It's a new day), uh
They say that justice is a step away
Say that justice is a step away (It's a new day), you know what I heard, y'all?
I heard that love was a step away
They say that love is a step away (It's a new day), uh
Uh-huh
