The Time Has Come
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics

Hey woman where'd we go wrong you
Were my lady my sweet angel girl
Hey woman dance with me slow tell me
All your worries cause I don't want you to go
And you say the time has come for you to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave
Hey woman put down your sword
Clean out the cupboards cause I'm coming back home
Pretty baby don't you hear me knocking?

At the door to your heart
Don't leave me standing out here
Pretty baby out here in the cold
And you say the time has come for you to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave
And you say that the time has come to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave
Pretty baby open the door lets order
Some takeout and laugh on the floor

Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
