Esperanza Spalding - Noble Nobles Lyrics

Dining debutantes and bitter powdered sugar fades
Their refined tastes
Come suckle from mama's wet maid, today

Drinking double gents and wig and rosy cultured views
Toasting the news
All kind of when Jesus was sold, today

Manifest in lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt, believe his
Ends a noble so the savage means
Are, deleted from the scene, so
We can believe that we are
Noble nobles with a savage means

Walking pioneers and blazing trails and rushing gold
So far from home
But none of them shed any tears, at all
Not at all

Talking founding fathers with a free philosophy
That don't mention me
Or the stain of red blood on their hands, at all
Now, we all
Replay it till we understand, the moral
Of, a story we're shooting again, tomorrows
Savages!

Manifest in lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt, believe his
Ends a noble so the savage means
Are, deleted from the scene, so
We can believe that we are
Noble nobles with a savage means
