Chocolate Berry
Lyrics
[Intro - deep bass rumble, eerie reverb-drenched female vocals, faint ancestral whispers layered under breathy ad-libs]
Mama said the berries bleed red when the truth comes out
Serpents coil round the Juneberry Tree when the storm rolls out
I was born with the curse in my veins, roots too deep to pull
Now the bloodline’s waking up, and it’s calling for blood
[Verse 1 - trap hi-hats crisp, 808s pulsing low, dark soulful rap delivery with gritty edge, breathy ad-libs]
Chocolate Berry on my skin, dream-born fruit from the other side
Skincare queen with a bloodline that the ancestors won’t let hide
Billionaire knocking at my door, old flame texting “where you been?”
Secret sisterhood circling, but they don’t know where I’ve been
Trauma knocking like it paid rent, resurfacing every night
Visions of the Wheatgrass days, ancient songs in the moonlight
Somebody wants the power that’s running through these veins
But I ain’t selling my soul for a legacy built on chains
[Pre-Chorus - building tension, layered harmonies, swirling synths and string swells]
Blood on the leaves, berries on the vine
Curses don’t die, they just bide their time
I’m the storm they tried to bury, I’m the fire they can’t tame
Now the Juneberry Tree is calling my name
[Chorus - explosive anthemic, full band with heavy distortion, sensual yet aggressive female vocals, massive bass and driving drums]
Legacies written in blood, others bloom in berries
Tangie Berry’s destiny: both, not either
I’ll break this curse or die trying, watch the serpents flee
When the Juneberry Tree wakes up, it’s waking up for me
Truth too heavy to carry, power too wild to sell
I’m the daughter of the storm, and I’m ringing the bell
Who can I trust when the shadows stalk?
I’ll burn it all down before I let it take what’s mine
[Verse 2 - glitchy dark tone, pitched-down vocals mixed with raw rap, hard-hitting beats and fire explicit bars]
Fuck the billionaire’s offers, they want my magic for free
Former love with his lies, acting like he still knows me
Sisterhood claiming kin, but their hands stay slick with oil
Ancestral power’s mine, and I’ll gut any snake that tries to coil
Hard truth in my chest, generational pain on lock
Wheatgrass running through me like it never forgot
I’m explicit with my rage, hard with my grace
Breaking curses with my blood while I paint on this face
[Bridge - stripped back, piano only, vulnerable breathy vocals shifting to passionate]
They told me to be soft, be quiet, be the good girl in the room
But the Berry women before me left fire in my womb
I’m choosing truth over comfort, destiny over fear
Even if it costs me everything, I’ll make the ancestors hear
[Chorus - explosive anthemic, full band with heavy distortion, sensual yet aggressive female vocals, massive bass and driving drums]
Legacies written in blood, others bloom in berries
Tangie Berry’s destiny: both, not either
I’ll break this curse or die trying, watch the serpents flee
When the Juneberry Tree wakes up, it’s waking up for me
Truth too heavy to carry, power too wild to sell
I’m the daughter of the storm, and I’m ringing the bell
Who can I trust when the shadows stalk?
I’ll burn it all down before I let it take what’s mine
[Outro - fading, ethereal pads, reverb-drenched vocals with faint ancestral whispers]
Mama said the berries bleed red when the truth comes out
Serpents coil round the Juneberry Tree when the storm rolls out
I was born with the curse in my veins, roots too deep to pull
Now the bloodline’s waking up…
