about

A sample of what's to come musically and spiritually from me - an expressed desire to dive deeper into my roots, to commune with nature, to ascend to my highest and fullest self. It's also serving like 1619 meets 2057 vibes ~ a lil Missy/Timbaland meeting Radiohead at the ceremony, if you will. ~ We used real Djembe drums and tambourine to build the base of the sound and went wild from there, like an apple tree in full bloom.

lyrics

Seeds of every apple tree
Belong to you and me

Wanna know my ancestry
How I came to be

Seeds in her hair
Planting sovereignty
Someday free from chains
Someday free to be

Free to be me
Free to be
An apple fallen down from the apple tree
I am divine
As a-p-p-l-e
Down, down from the apple tree

I was renamed
Nothing ever was the same
Of how I came to be
As a-p-p-l-e
As a-p-p-l-e

As a-p-p-l-e

Every apple was once just a seed
I hope I don’t fall too far from the tree

& I know my roots are much stronger than me
Tying me to the core of who I’m sposed to be
