Sweet Potato Soul

Family memory

A groovy tribute to sweet potatoes — soul, soil, and sunshine in one bite.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Felt the ground, golden hue Slow burn light, I drift to you
No sudden rush, no jagged edge Just a quiet, steady pledge
Wrapped in warmth, earthen spice Natural sugar, sweet and wise
Mellow mood, heavy head Finding peace in what is fed
Oh, keep it smooth, keep it slow Let the golden currents flow
Sweet like velvet, deep like stone Now I'm never on my own
Energy that hurts Life and holds its branch in breath
Life and sweetness, starch and death Sweet potato, soul you see
Sustained and sweet just being me Sustained and sweet just being me
Through the noise, through the race You're the rhythm, you're the space
Slow digesting, complex soul Keeping every fragment whole
Sin and dust, amber light Guiding me through every night
Smoother skin, smoother mind Leaving all the rush behind
Oh, keep it smooth, keep it slow Let the golden currents flow
Sweet like velvet, deep like stone Now I'm never on my own
Energy that hurts Life and holds its branch in breath
Life and sweetness, starch and death Sweet potato, soul you see
Sustained and sweet just being me Sustained and sweet just being me
Smooth, so smooth Just stay sweet
