Tony Allen Cosmosis (feat. Skepta & Ben Okri)
[Intro: Tony Allen]
Cosmosis
[Verse 1: Ben Okri]
Let's talk about the science, of how things break
How the heart breaks, how the aged founders shatters with no-one listenin'
How the mind quakes, how we lose all that matters
Oh the music of the bones, the music of sage and wise stones
Let's talk about the art, of how things break
Things that were hard to make
Things like peace and love and mead
How the nations shake, how the good is lost to the fake
Oh brief change by osmosis, change and the music of cosmosis
[Chorus: Skepta]
She was lookin' for a prince so now she's hittin' the road
She tried kissin' a frog oh now she's lickin' a toad
Spiritual girl, she's got a story to tell, she taught me to love myself, forget everyone else, forget and I forgive
I don't give it attention, how you feel about me is just a reflection
I'm out of my ego, I'm back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
[Break: Tony Allen]
Cosmosis, Cosmosis
Yeah man
[Verse 2: Ben Okri]
The present moment, began with fire, and still it burns
It began with water, and still they drown, still they drown
It began with air, see how the bombs fall, on houses made of sand
Dreams made of flesh
[Chorus: Skepta]
She was lookin' for a prince so now she's hittin' the road
She tried kissin' a frog oh now she's lickin' a toad
Spiritual girl, she's got a story to tell, she taught me to love myself, forget everyone else, forget and I forgive
I don't give it attention, how you feel about me is just a reflection
I'm out of my ego, I'm back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
[Outro: Tony Allen]
Yeah worlds gonna change all because, cosmosis

When will the story of our nation change and shine?
