You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose baby.
You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose,
Yeah, you are on purpose.
lyrics
"Once upon a time i made myself number one, now i'm roasting under blazing sun, riding shot gun, you at the wheel, my free will at your direction, memorized your signs but forgot my own reflection. No more eggs in my basket, I gave them all to you, still hungry after fables, but i ran out of spoons, giving more than I can give, overextending my wings, good at playing your games but, this is not a win win. I been sinking in your dirty dishes even when my plates full, I'll marry myself, i remain faithful, one day i'll leave the table cos you stop serving love, crave the taste of solitude, I know it is enough.
i'm blue, the colour of my solitude.
i'm blue, i'ma choose to love me over you.
i've lost count of how many times i knew my yes was a no. i'm your clown out of habit, there is dust on my throne. for you i dropped my shit, just to hear you say hero. fly you to your dreams, distract me from my own. maybe baby someday i will learn to be alone, fly myself up to the moon, build a gate around my zone, i bust the myth that i am selfish when i take care of myself. repeat it till i hear it, reverse the trauma in my cells.
blue, the colour of my solitude.
i'm blue, i'ma choose to love me over you.
You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose baby.
You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose,
Yeah, you are on purpose."

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

La dame aux robes...j'adore son look en spectacle. J'ai une photo d'elle lorsqu'elle se déplaçait avec son équipe. Elle était très protégée à l'époque dans mes souvenirs. Lavinie Cloutier
