A beautiful fusion of gentle Spanish, Erykah Badu-inspired soul, bossa nova and psychedelic R&B from the south London artist also known as Aria Wells, inspired by a Mexican-Mayan phrase related to identity. In Lak'ech Ala K'in means I am you, you are me, and in this song she rejects modern pressures and social media in favour of a healthier, more balanced frame of mind. Out on the TENNNN label, more of Greentea Peng’s music can be enjoyed here.
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
I wear clothes, I like to hide
So no one knows what I'm made from
Deep in my soul
Taken from home so far we stroll
Deep in these roads
Think we control this shit, we don't
But fuck we could, I wish we would
Throw away these phones, get a bit more holy
See the world more slowly, take time to smell the roses
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
See all I know is that I know
Nothing at all, this shit is so
Mystical, magical
I know we don't know our potential
How could we when they lie, they cast spells
And they try dropping bombs from the skies
Like we are not stars
Inside me there's a war
Gem eye, gem eye
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
Searching for balance, praying for clarity
Ma strip me naked, take this identity
Tell me it's unity
In Lak'ech Ala K'in
I am you, you are me
