(Ooh, Ohh) 
Here I stand before you - brown. 
Color of the mountains 
Colossal as the earth 
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery 
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind 
Here I stand before you, the color of the night 
Frozen by the potential of me 
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel 

Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above 
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love 
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations 
Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle 
Today, he is in your town, puttin it down 
You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around 
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free 
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me 
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well 
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel 
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm 
As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb 
Willing to trade your spi
