Woman to Man - Tony Allen, Ty

Yeah …

You know what?

I just wanna tell you something about, you know

This musicianship, about, you know

Man and woman

You know?

Ha!

Dirty girl, man

You see, you need a lot of endurance, patience

Everything, you know, to

You have to put everything into this affair

To make your own head work fine

And when you work it out fine

Everything’s gonna be cool for you

Check it out, man

Some people don’t like me

Say I’m too cultural

Guess I’m supposed to crawl

Guess I’m supposed to fall — No!

I’ll poke you all

And I hope you all understand

If the dam breaks, I’ll soak you all

Create my own category for free

But you need to see, frequently

I’m living in my own world secretly

It seems like only music can speak to me

I’m deaf to the brand name and fame

There’s nothing but a code name, gold chain

I faced it, wore it like a bracelet

My face lit when I heard 'Tony Allen'

Clicked my helmet

Jumped off the spaceship

Intrigued by the strange fruit, I taste it

Mamma never told me to waste shit

Bitter to the taste so I quickly replace it

I detect movement and stay stiff

Who goes there?

Speak up or get a facelift!

And from the moment she appeared,

Nothing was the same again, nope

We only got

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

We’ve only got

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

Man …

Man …

Hey!

Woman …

Yeah!

Huh!

She looks like me

Slightly more delicate body.

Oo-wee!

Huh!

Sounds like a song

But it’s a Tony Allen song with more balance in the funk

Easy!

I think it’s her stature that captures the

Need to make a rapture in me

We dance in a circle of awe

Across the world floor and over the sea, sheee!

Is she a person or a planet?

I just don’t know but our worlds collide

Trapped in a bubble called pride

Inside, love is like carbon monoxide

And I haven’t got a clue

How to win, even if I’m supposed to

You know why?

You know why?

Ha!

Some planets you will not get close to

Some planets you will not get close to

Some planets you will not get close to

Some planets you will not get close to

Some planets, some planets

We’ve only got

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

We’ve only got

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

We’ve only got

Words to hustle, we

Hand-to-hand tussle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

We’ve only got

Woman-to-man bustle, woman

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

Woman to man

When man and woman — Ha!

Come together

They call it deliverance

Man and man

Woman and woman

Ha!

… You see

Man and man, foreign land

Woman and woman, for a house, so

It is spacious

Endurance, love

To be able to be together.

Yeah?

So

Let’s not try to —

Try to be together.

Be here

Like I said

My endurance, my patience, my love

Thank you
