Lyrics Nahko And Medicine For The People – Dinner Party

Woke up this morning refreshed from the evening
Dreamin’ ’bout all the homies I believe in
I have so much time to think
I got sisters who are mothers and

I was a young man, old man
Only a kid, man
And I was dreamin’ ’bout that promised land
But I was stuck in my dead-end town
Just a petty thief and I was waiting for the day of my release

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

I saw the flash in your eye
Just as you arrived
Girl, you’re so damn mysterious and sly
Now, why am I not surprised?
Well if this is supposed to happen, then I’ll just let it happen to me

Walkin’ on solid ground
I found the face of the moon
He was smiling down on us singing his toothless tune
He says, «my light luminates one love
So sing me to sleep and let those stars have their way with me tonight.»

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

I was a young girl, strong girl
A woman with girl
So you found me singing ’bout my love for this world
Making big steps towards redemption
A medicine wheel and a gateway into the ocean

Movin’ and shakin’ ’bout

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

My homies keep me in line
Keep me from strayin’ off the wayside
I keep their pores tinglin’ and their tongues tied
And I’m learning how to cautiously rise
Against a disguise that legally refuses compromise

If I had things my way
I’d put some hope on your plate
I’m talkin’ sauteed trust and an entree of faithful
Oh, and eradicate all self-pity
You got a lot of work to do, so get busy, homie, go on get busy
(Get busy!)

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

Hey, what does that mean?
I don’t know, but it’s daaaamn good
Mmhmm, that fills me up nice
