Ari Lennox – Bitter (Audio, Lyrics)

Ari Lennox, out of the Away Message project, unveils the “Bitter” piece of music. The track was produced by Elite.

Ari Lennox Away Message

This is the realest, rawest, song on this entire EP. You heard it from me. Ari is speaking for all of us who have put in so much of ourselves, time, and effort into someone, all for them when it’s all said and done, to learn from it and put that into someone new instead of us, the ones who built them into the person they are currently. Real. Ass. Music.

Lyrics

[Verse]
Bittersweet
Bitter is my dreams
To the sound of your peace
Why must it repeat?
Plaguin’ me
I don’t know what else to do
‘Cause you’re blind in my truth
I don’t wanna be without you
But your love ain’t bulletproof

[Chorus]
Bittersweet
Like the cherries on the east
You got me strung out on love
Shouldn’t be witnessin’
Your happy ending
Your happy ending
No, you don’t deserve
All of the fruit of my work, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Ruffle the feathers up, ruffle the feathers up
My girls, they ride at dawn
Ruffle the feathers up, ruffle the feathers up
My girls, they ride (Ruffle the feathers up)

[Chorus]
Bittersweet
Like the cherries on the east
You got me strung out on love
Shouldn’t be witnessin’
Your happy ending
Your happy ending
No, you don’t deserve
All of the fruit of my work, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Ruffle the feathers up, ruffle the feathers up
My girls, they ride at dawn
Ruffle the feathers up, ruffle the feathers up
My girls, they ride (Ruffle the feathers up)
