Dearly beloved
We gather here today
To give a salute to the black angels in our lives
To our mothers, grandmothers and our wives

Shine for what you are, your star is not spangled
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

Heaven owe you overtime pay
For the loving way you served everyday
No halo overhead but your wings stay spread
You opened up our home to the homeless to share bed and some bread
I was not taught scripture, I was shown it instead
Watched my mom lived her religion in the flesh
She always said we blessed, so others can be blessed
Love is not a noun, it's a verb, she would stress
Gave at food drives, gave people rides,
She wasn't bout talking, she was bout changing lives
Momma's a holy woman, always saw it in her eyes
She healed me with her words and her sweet potato pie
The collection plate ain't the only way to pay your tithes
You ain't never met my mom if you think heaven in the sky
I remember how she used to tuck me in the bed at night
She been like a black angel watchin over all my life,  and I'm thankful

Feeling so low
With no place to go
Looking up to the sky
I'll find my way back home oh
Take these wings and fly
I notice in your eye
Don't cry, this tear is mine
Have no fear, this is time
You'll find you
What you need
You're right here with me
Take me up high
Way way up way past the sky
Cause we're so fly, fly fly

If you got your wings clipped, Come on and sing this
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

Shine for the ones who love you the most
Hug for my grandma who held me close
Shine cause the seeds need light to grow
Breathe like you neva had life before
I shine on the mic cause it's from the heart
You shine when you teach kids to love they art
We shine cause love is how we heal
Shine like love when you know it's real
Real love, real life, real models
Learn how to lead and learn how to follow
Power to discern is the skill of tomorrow
So we love to learn, and learn how we all go
All around the world from Cabo to Chicago
Beijing, Bangladesh, back to Lake Tahoe
Can't stop til my music's playing out in Cairo
Taking Black Angels everywhere that I go

If you got your wings clipped, Come on and sing this
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)

Shine for what you are, your star is not spangled
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black on both sides, brown from every angle
What's heaven for black angels?
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
Black Angels, (Angels) Black Angels (Angels)
