Starship Lyrics

Hello, ladies and gentlemen
I'll be your hostess for today's flight
Please fasten your seatbelts
We should be arriving promptly
700 light years in outer space
I finally found a place
Where I don't feel mistreated
Finally found the space where I feel safe
I'm gonna go somewhere
Far beyond the sky and the trees
Gonna go somewhere where nobody knows my name
I'm gonna go somewhere
Where nobody knows my shame
Gonna lay down the past
So I'm gonna change my name, oh, oh
In 5... 4... 3... 2... 1
See, I'm gone in my starship
I'm headed straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
I'm headed in my starship
I'm going straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
I finally found a place
Where all the seagulls wanna fly high
Finally found the place where there's more to life
Than stealing and getting and eating and finding...
Finally found a place
Where I can spead my arms as far as I can
And fly high 
Far above the sky and the trees.
I'm gonna go somewhere, 
Where nobody knows my name
I'm gonna lay down the past
 I'm gonna change my name
And lay down my heavy burdens
In 5... (5...) 4... (4...) 3... (3...) 2... (2...) 1
See, I'm gone in my starship
I'm headed straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
I'm headed in my starship
I'm going straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
See, I'm gone in my starship
I'm headed straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
I'm headed in my starship
I'm going straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
My starship
I'm headed straight to the moon
See, I'm gone in my starship (I'm going there)
I'm headed straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship
Ohh, yeah, hey, hey, yeah
I'm headed in my starship 
I'm going straight to the moon
I'm gone away in my starship.

Starship is my story...
I wrote this for anyone who has taken back their power. It is a song about the universe I wish to live in. A universe where the heart lives free and unburdened by the past, color, creed, orientation, or station. It was one of those songs that the moment I heard the track something opened in me. I had just gotten over a major depression that had me doubting everything about myself my life and my art this song was the turning point for my healing.
I hope that this song can help you envision yourself in front of your challenges in a world full of victory, and expectance. Welcome to my "Starship" where the love is and all are welcome.  
Steve McKie produced this song and additional programing done by Nicolay of the Foreign Exchange. 
Proceeds from this NFT will help me to fund my next project. As well as a women's alternative music festival I am developing call 
"The Bitches Brew". The collector of this NFT will have free admission for themselves and 3 friends to the series kick off and the festival for the life of the series. 
A framed copy of the lyrics, a print of the piece and access to my monthly collectors zoom where I fill my collectors in on what I'm doing and share exclusive opportunities and new music.
The artwork pictured here was done in collaboration with the Haitian artist Fabiola Jean-Louis who has most recently premiered "Before Yesterday We Could fly"  An Afro futurist Period Room at The Met.
Fabiola  and I bonded as mothers rebuilding after heartbreak, our collective love of black fantasy, and our desire to see our people expand as immortal and spiritual creatures. 

I have also released a limited edition visual piece staring this art as well and will be releasing more pieces to fund my projects and my festival "THE BITCHES BREW" over the next few months.
I hope this piece " Break Free" and my song Starship speak to you.
