lyrics
That night Wunda laid like blades in a truce.
This marks the first time he slept all the way through
since the flames introduced so many vulnerabilities in one poof.
This day was a proof that change could be true.
To save some abuse and self hatred produced
he decided to let his shame hang in a noose.
Forever.
Wunda had a vision and awakening too.
In his sleep, he revisited the dreams he had in his youth as proof
While the room in between moons, he learned more truth
and that his family were descendents of the Spooks
who migrated from Kush roots
long before Conquistador troops.
Sablimino picked his brain too.
Wunda explained where he came from
and everything he went through.
When Ee'ti wasn't around he asked questions about her too.
He assumed Sablimino knew so he asked,
“What's her story?”
Wunda waited.
Sablimino smiled and said,
“The child grew up without parents. Her father disappeared in the shadows, and her mother disappeared with her brothers shortly after.”
“Abandoned?” Wunda asked, undecided. “Maybe she thought the boys had a better chance of surviving.”
Sablimino prided, “She's my favorite soldier. I trained her myself.”
They both laughed and Wunda knew why.
He wasn't the best spy.

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.
