about

I was playing some beats over FaceTime, and Bilqees told me to send her this one. I already had a few rapper friends who wanted to kill this beat. I never “send” beats to anybody via email but I was curious about what she thought about it. She wrote the lyrics and recorded herself on her phone, harmonies and all.

I wasn’t expecting to write on it after that, because I thought her version Aline was just that good. But it was short, so ther was room for me after all.


This song is from a forthcoming project called “Songs of Solomon”

lyrics

Bilqees lyrics:

Tell me what you see
A melody so sweet
See the signs that shine for you and I
Written in the truth
The one that's made for you
Surrendering the past is so divine
And the fear of having it all
Getting all the things that call to me
I know it's just a game
My mind plays
Every time
I open up and start feeling some way
"Is this right?"
I'm gonna let things be how they need to be
What's really meant for me will bring clarity
They say, "Rejection is protection"
Redirected on my path
There's no need
No, no need for stressing
Alchemizing blessings
Is it love or just a lesson?
Surrendering my wants for what I need
Freeing up my mind
Bring it to the Most High
No confusing what's inside of me
No longer letting old things flow
I'm letting go
Giving time to love divine
Cuz I got one more time in me


One Be Lo bars:

You gotta ponder, reflect, or contemplate a thing
The strangest dreams mabeline, maybe make believe
Reeler than sittin in theater seats
Bilqees, occupation Queen
Solomon son of David King
The same as he
Poetry language could tame a breeze
Understand the ants
Language of birds
When Nature speaks
Things ain’t always what they claim to be
She see the signs
Now she changing scenes
SHEBA! SHEBA! reign supreme
