I'm a biblical mess, homage to the father
I’d like to scribble my own prologue and
Call myself the author
But I went to school to get an education
Ended up with debt and forced alliteration
My semblance is irrelevant
Or maybe I’m just impatient
All I wanted was love in the third degree
I prayed for in the pages of some comedy
That tells me the formula is just make believe
Generosity is dead
I'm a hypocrite in that it's what goes on through my head
And what I have been fed
The words I’ve been saying aren’t the actions I'm choosing
I find the box that don't fit is the one that I’ve been using
Why does the beauty of dark skin always attract confusion
All this thinking got me musing
So
Are we
Flying through this body
Body built from grace
Life black laced, no
Are we
Getting troubled
By
a body in disguise
A rose colored lens that can't lie
Are we
Gonna break bread over this
I still catch your breath
With every single kiss
Hope I don't sound too intimate
Hope I don't sound too intimate
Fed up with all the lines
Fed up with all the times you called me baby
Want me back
Then hate me
Fed up with all the lines
Once we’ve had the time
Just passerbys in the night time
Fade into the afterlife
Sunday school and acolyte

Drank from the top of the bottle
Every life lesson that I think I could have swallowed
Now the new tides still got me feeling hollow
Still
Laughter is the only thing I follow, follow
Feather paper kept me dry
My momma had her first baby in her prime no lie
My father would deny
That we're split on both sides
A little sugar
A little spice
Moses and Jochebed I think
That I fell on my head distinct
You can choose life and I can leap
I have found near infinity
But I am nearly in my grave
Media’s got my mind enslaved
Used to be fearless now afraid
Is my all enough that I gave?
Is my all enough that I gave?
Is my all enough that I gave?
Is my all enough that I gave?
No I don't really know
No I don't really know
No I don't really know
No I don't really know
(Repeat)
Man I got my mind on a matchstick
Put my memories in a casket
I'm flying high so fantastic
Forgetting all of life and the tragic
It's a habit
I
Like to embody my soul
Into the people I know cos their bloodline
Is worth more than the gold
Wouldn't you like to unfold?
Wouldn't you like to unfold?
Cos I got you, I got you, I got you
You got me, you got me, you got me
But is that enough?
Is my all enough that I gave?
Is my all enough that I gave?
Is my all enough that I gave?
Gave
Gave

Fool's Gold

They say you can't buy love
But can you rent it?
In
drops of fool's gold
They say you can't buy love
but can you rent it
In drops of fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
[She] leans on me like she's my momma
Asks me what she's doing wrong
She pops a pill and then she's gone
tells me won't be gone for long
I saw her leave her kid one day
eleven marbles drift away
A 20 something peter pan
She loves the world
Just in the way that she can
She loves the world
Just in the way she can
They say you can't buy love
You can’t buy love
Say my name
Say my name
When no one is around you
Say baby i love you
Why the sudden change?
Say my name
Say My name
You acting kinda crazy
Aint calling my,baby
Why the sudden
Say my name
Say my name
You acting kinda
You acting kinda
You acting kinda shady
You acting kinda shady
Hollywood,
life on a silver screen
Sold to me serene
Built like a daydream
something that I believed
Hollywood, hollywood
life on a silver screen
Sold to me serene
built like a daydream
Something that I believed
Hollywood, Hollywood
It’s never how it looks in the movies
It’s never how it looks in the movies
Hollywood, hollywood
They say you can’t buy love
But can you rent it
In drops of fool's gold
In drops of fool's gold
In drops of fool's gold

I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
I don't know you anymore
Lady lips so luscious
I said hey pretty lady
Won’t you be my baby
I got some cash flow in the back seat
I say, "Do you even really like me?"
She says
"I got a boyfriend on the rocks
But maybe if you and I have a little talk
We can do what boots do
N-n-nah knock to knock
We can do what boots do
Knock to knock"
Before you fall in love with me
You should know I got a little bit crazy in me
I said before you fall in love with me
Just take a look at the reality
Baby
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
You better run
Yeah you better run
Yeah you better
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
Yeah you better
Go on and use me up
Until I’ve had enough
I got a fiendin’ for an ice pack on my heart place
Not to get emotional it’s just fucking on an art space
Really I
Feel so sublime
I kiss your skin
And you kiss mine
But you leave in the morning with clothes on
Tell me, “Sorry this can’t go on for too long,”
Baby
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
You better run
Yeah you better run
Yeah you better
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
Yeah you better
There she goes kissing on her boyfriend
Thinking that I love her like her boyfriend
Girl....
I’ve been having girls turning left and right then
You wanna test me
this ain’t a mother fucking lesson
Yeah he a real fella
Without a deal fella
Gonna dick you down until you seeing clear fella
But he gone leave you for another girl
I was just lookin’ at your figure
Imma lick you til you quiver
Don’t get it twisted
I ain’t a mistress
Not to be discussing
Or disclaiming all your business
I know you wanna be straight with all your girlfriends
And you wanna save face with all of your boyfriends
Baby girl I love you for who you are
Even if we don’t get very far
I just wanted you to know
You already know
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
You better run
Yeah you better run
Yeah you better
Ready set, go, on your mark,
You better run away from me,
You better run away from me,
Yeah you better
