Lyrics:
(feat. Ibeyi) [Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz] Take Karintha, take Karintha Perfect as dusk when the sun goes down And take Karintha, as perfect as twilight As a child able to drive both young and old wild As perfect as dusk when the sun goes down And remember, remember every sound As often as our flowers bloom men will try and cut them down Take Karintha, as sweet as spring rain Run from the Cane [Excerpt from "Cane"] "The Smoke" curls up And hangs among the trees Curls up and spreads itself out Weeks after Karintha returned home The smoke was so heavy You tasted it in water Smoke is on the hills O rise up, rise upward Rise up, rise up [Verse 2] Pray for Becky, and pray for Becky White woman gave birth to two black sons Pray for Becky, her one room-shack fell to the ground The two boys killed a man and had to leave town Said white woman gave birth to two black sons Said pray for Becky and remember, remember the days She looked to us for help and we all turned away Pray for Becky, buried down near the trains Deep in the Cane
