Lyrics
I aint no wolf, but I am howling
I aint no king, but I am crowned
I see angels, without a heaven
I hear music, without a sound
I was on my way back from Rosedale, I was looking for a place to chill
Saw the deepest painting I ever seen, just sitting on a window ceil
When here come mister Willie Brown, looking ragged and down, in a mighty low, “how do you do?”
He said “I made that painting with a color crayon, only had one red and one blue,” he said
I aint no wolf, but I am howling
I aint no king, but I am crowned
I see angels, without a heaven
I hear music, without a sound
You see I never had a lot to work with, never had a lot of help above
But I never did let that stop me, doing what I truly love
The harder I worked with nothing, the easier it became
Now I can feel them angles, every time I do my thang
I aint no wolf, but I am howling
I aint no king, but I am crowned
I see angels, without a heaven
I hear music, without a sound
He said “hows about a song before you go, it’s the finest song garaunteed,
No I ain’t got a lot but surely I got everything I need”
Didn’t see no lights no, didn’t have no fans huh
but I saw mister Willie Brown really burn it down with only one foot and two hands, said
I aint no wolf, but I am howling
I aint no king, but I am crowned
I see angels, without a heaven
I hear music, without a sound, one more time said
I aint no wolf, but I am howling, woo
I aint no king, but I am crowned, crowned
I see angels, without a heaven, mmm
I hear music, ah ah ah ah oh come on come on come on
I hear music, without a sound, oh my yeah
I hear music, without a sound, everyday
I hear music, without a sound. .. .. ..
