"angel" lyrics

"angel"

Do you ever make it out of your head?
Do you still swim in your thoughts?
Do you still mistake your flaws for property?
Somethin' that just don't sit right with you
But Heaven knows, Heaven knows
Your wings can weigh you down

But angels make a way somehow
And if we fall, we fall on clouds

Black girl here, Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent, you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Heaven wears your halo
They know you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)

I'm a big deal, I get sick and tired of holdin' it in
Rich blood, you can probably see the gold in my skin
I'm more than a girl, won't let the troubles of the world
Come weigh me down

But angels make a way somehow
But if we fall, we fall on clouds

Black girl here, Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent, you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Heaven wears your halo
They know you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)

Some might hate and they wait on your fall (Ah)
They don't know there's a grace for it all (Ah)
My flaws don't make me
Beautiful and real are you, they cannot compare, all you
Perfectly a masterpiece in all of me, even my scars
Even my scars, yeah

Black girl here, Black girl with the Black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God-sent, you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Heaven wears your halo
They know you're an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)

"Angel" is the debut solo release by Halle (Chloe x Halle). The song and its music video were published on the 4th of August, 2023.
Halle told about "Angel" in an Instagram Live, "What I was trying to portray in this song is getting other people to recognize that, yes, I have all these beautiful opportunities and this things are happening for me, but I'm still trying to figure out life. I'm regular, I'm human, I'm flawed, but at the same time, all of these flaws that make me who I am are beautiful and are the reason I am who I am."
"This song for me is so very special and near and dear to my heart. With everything I’ve gone through the past 3-4 years, suddenly finding myself in this bubble of all these eyes and new opinions, it was easy for me to feel doubt in myself and who I was. This song for me was my climb out of those feelings, a mantra and promise to myself that the work I’m doing here on earth matters and that I matter. I wanted to be able to embrace and be proud of myself and who I am naturally through and through. I hope other brown and black girls and everyone in general feel embraced, respected, and inspired hearing the words of this song," shared Halle with Pitchfork.
