Loc Love

Higher Energy

Loc Love: Higher Energy

While reviewing comments online, I came across a question about the significance of dreadlocks. What makes them so special? Inspired by this curiosity, I decided to craft a song celebrating the beautiful journey of locs.

Loc Love: Higher Energy

Spoken Word Artist - Verse 1

When your fingers glide through my dreadlocks,

Do you sense the whispers of our ancestors' grace?

Do you trace their path along your skin,

Seeking the divine connection within?

Don't stop, I am ready, let's merge in this sacred space,

As each lock grows, a testament to life’s twists,

Challenges faced, love untwisted from the roots,

Like braided maps to freedom, guiding us to new truths.

Baby, embrace the kink of my Afrocentric mind,

Lay me down, draw strength from this bond,

We walk boldly in our identities, unique and free,

Just you and me, standing tall, unapologetically.

Chorus

Do you feel my

Energy flow, higher vibes

Synergy, when you touch my locs

Do they set your soul on fire,

A trance you can't escape,

Hypnotic flames rising higher,

Meet me at your door,

Whenever you desire,

Subway back, can't wait

For this sweet love lullaby.

Spoken Word Artist - Verse 2

Against the tide of beauty norms, we rise,

Our lineage traced back to ancient lands,

Homo Sapiens, roots of humanity,

Uncover our secrets

Before they spread across the sands.

Rest your nonconformity here,

On my chest, feel the weight lift,

Let this dread nest cradle you,

In this body's embrace, my eclipse you kiss.

May you find peace in this sanctuary,

Honoring heritage, pride,

Roots deep, fruit ripe from the Tree of Life,

In our touch, the aura thrives.

Chorus

Do you feel my

Energy flow, higher vibes

Synergy, when you touch my locs

Do they set your soul on fire,

A trance you can't escape,

Hypnotic flames rising higher,

Meet me at your door,

Whenever you desire,

Subway back, can't wait

For this sweet love lullaby.

Bridge

These locs wipe away your tears,

Hold me close, I’ll kiss away your fears,

When the thunder rolls, I'll stand beside you,

Touch my body, let me walk through your mind,

We'll undress each layer, savoring every moment,

Natty Dread, Congo Drums, a Siren's song,

Today we are not Gladiators.

Burning spear of laughter,

in this place we have always belonged.

Welcome Home.

Spoken Word Artist- Verse 3 ( Outro )

Where love and pride

Loc Love, entwines

Beyond Horizons

Surpassing the stillness of the night

In every twist

Our hearts beat as one

In this sweet lullaby

Chorus

Do you feel my

Energy flow, higher vibes

Synergy, when you touch my locs

Do they set your soul on fire,

A trance you can't escape,

Hypnotic flames rising higher,

Meet me at your door,

Whenever you desire,

Subway back, can't wait

For this sweet love lullaby.
