Parks grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, US, where she "messed around with instruments in the house" and took up violin in the fourth grade, eventually teaching herself how to play the instrument by ear. When she discovered the violin playing style of Northeast Africa, her eyes opened to the possibilities of the instrument. "The way they played it was different from classical music. I resonated with the style, and I was like, 'Maybe I can use this style with electronic music,'" she says. She has released two projects to date, including the self-titled Sudan Archives in July 2017, and Sink in 2018, both on Stones Throw Records.

Sudan Archives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping that they'll thrive around the madness
Won't you step inside my lovely cottage
Feels so green, it feels like fucking magic
Only bad bitches, and mad trellis
And baby, I'm the baddest
Wake me up when this gets to the action
I'm so sorry, baby, it's a habit
When you go away, I get the saddest
Maybe I'm hard to manage
Rest with me on Sabbath
You don't need those women, they are average
Fruits and juices, all that you desire
Fiji water from the islands
You can be yourself with me
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home right now? Wait on ya
You'll have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home right now? Wait on ya
You'll have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
I know that I've been gone
Please don't fall for this mold
Mama's been real sloppy
I crawl into my hole
All these people don't know
That I deal with all of these doubts
Take it out on someone, oh
Then all I do is cry out
All of the pain
Even when the sun out, it just feels like rain
You're the only one who embrace the change
People think that can't get on our waves
But they all got me today
Don't even try like the one who play
I got something special, bring it to my place
I got big plans for this home I made
You can put your hand on me anyway
I'm just sayin'
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home right now? Wait on ya
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home right now? Wait on ya
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home right now? Wait on ya
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
Don't you feel that feel?
Don't you feel that feel?
Don't you feel that?

I just gotta run up on my plants and
I need to take care of my plants and give them the attention they need
Hoping that they'll thrive around the madness
I hope my plants can grow and flourish despite the chaos around them
Won't you step inside my lovely cottage
Come inside my beautiful home
Feels so green, it feels like fucking magic
My home is filled with plants and greenery, creating a magical atmosphere
Only bad bitches, and mad trellis
I only surround myself with strong women and flourishing gardens
And baby, I'm the baddest
I am the strongest and most confident woman in my home
Wake me up when this gets to the action
Let me know when something exciting is happening
When the place a mess, I get the maddest

Rest with me on Sabbath
Let's take a break and relax together on the day of rest

You can ignore your phone and enjoy the present moment in our home
Now that we're alone, don't ya feel better?
Now that it's just us in our home, don't you feel happier and more relaxed?
Don't you feel that feel?
Don't you feel the positive and comforting energy in our home?

I just got a wall mount for my plants
And hoping that they'll thrive around the madness
Won't you step inside my lovely cottage?
Feels so green, it feels like fucking magic
Only bad bitches in my trellis
And baby, I'm the baddest
Wake me up when this gets to the action
When the place a mess, I get the maddest
I'm so sorry, baby, it's a habit
When you go away, I get the saddest
Lately I'm hard to manage
Rest with me on Sabbath
You don't need those women, they all average
Fruits and juices, all that you desire
Fiji water from the islands
You can be yourself with me
[Chorus]
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home when I wait on you?
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't you feel better?
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home when I wait on you?
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't you feel better?
[Verse 2]
I know that I've been gone
Please don't fall for this mold
My mood's been real sloppy
I cry when I'm alone
All these people don't know
That I deal with all of these doubts
They get out once in a while, oh
Then all I do is cry out
[Bridge]
All of the pain
Even when the sun's out it just feels like rain
You're the only one who embraced the change
People think that they can handle my ways
But they all bounce eventually
Don't even try, I'm not the one to play
I got something special, bring it to my plate
I got big plans for this home I made
And you couldn't handle me anyway
I'm just sayin'
[Chorus]
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home when I wait on you?
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't you feel better?
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home when I wait on you?
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't you feel better?
[Interlude]
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
Don't you feel at home when you're with me?
[Chorus]
I'm a home maker, home maker
Don't you feel at home when I wait on you?
Gon' have to check your phone later, way later
Now that we're alone, don't you feel better?
