| Little black butterfly — I see you flying
|
| Little black butterfly — I see you crying
|
| Oh Little black butterfly — Don’t you know your mine
|
| Don’t you know you’re mine
|
| I get ideas so dear to me it draws tears I can’t believe
|
| what i have seen over the years
|
| And am busy as a bee sweet when murdering a beat
|
| Free — keep it real — an easy breeze like a tree that grows and knows
|
| What holds it up and flows
|
| Faith in the above an inner spirit in the know
|
| Hunting for the silence while am crouching like a lion
|
| And im still defying lies that put you up against zion
|
| Tell you you ain’t got the power that can lift you up fighting
|
| Reading finer writings that empower people like lightning
|
| Bolts from the sky in rain showers that drown you
|
| Mystery surrounds you
|
| Who defend you like a marching army heading to slew
|
| Anybody in the garden coming for you
|
| Little black butterfly — I see you flying
|
| Little black butterfly — I see you crying
|
| Oh Little black butterfly — Don’t you know your mine
|
| Don’t you know you’re mine
|
| I will remember your name though I’ll forget my own
|
| Ill be willing to meet you where the lillies are growing
|
| When you undo the chains, I wont recall anything
|
| But Ill remember you child, Ill remember your name
|
| Places, faces, grey days, Ill forget the sky and spaces
|
| When I pass from this plain, ill forget about this game
|
| Ill forget the wind and rain, the fallen race,
|
| The grades, the shame but know this Ill remember your name
|
| My little black butterfly, Ill remember everything you’ve been through
|
| And all the hardship, Ill remember you
|
| And i’ll raise you up on the last day
|
| Little black butterfly — I see you flying
|
| Little black butterfly — I see you crying
|
| Oh Little black butterfly — Don’t you know your mine
|
| Don’t you know you’re mine
|
| Don’t you know you’re mine, don’t you know it |
