back w a new perspective
a new direction, i
left the country, got
introspective
& reflected been a second since i dropped a record i'm back
& i slept w the tides
& addressed what's inside
& confessed that it's likely i let it define me it's all that i know
songs are all that i know so i sing it like
[finish that cup till it's okay/ dominican rum in that OJ, thinking i'm one w the ocean for the moment man i'm golden]
like the sand that gets swept w the tides
time keeps the narrative in motion the moment's alive
till it's gone and it's not you can't stop the story
*everybody's got a story/
question is how you gon tell it/
question is who you gon share it with/
like who won't be scared of it/
cuz we're all looking for those ppl that really care enough to give a fuck about the details/
and might hold within them the ink or the pen that could help write the details*
as the sun undressed the heat
felt like i heard the sun breathe next to me
a confession of an unseen recipe
where the hi hats bypass eardrums straight to the soul/
so i left and addressed the beat
synth emulating that sunbeam ecstasy
with a cadence like the waves that caress the beach
add the tight rap typecast me to the role/
so i took what i made and i let that shit play w my eyes closed
alright open up there's a world out here to see
and babygirl it's a world out a here w me
if you're for it
so come close come close let me tell you a
*
