Speaking of god, you make me feel like one
Speaking of god, you make me feel like one
Speaking of love, i kept you close to my lung
White sheets, tinted windows, i was under your thumb
Speaking of god, you make me feel like one
Speaking of god, you make me feel like one
Speaking of love i kept you close to my lung
White sheets, tinted windows, i was under your thumb
7 years I kept you close to my lung
Spoke of gods like they'd equal the field
21 big,
I Prayed for peace,
You paid for pieces that cover your neck still,
Room full of corners, searching for safety,
Sinus was pressured, nights in was nyquil
Medium was scary, I had to go far
Acrylic still wet, didn't really know a dry spell
So i shift by the mean, make it look nice,
You dip in and out, keeping me fighting, fighting
Smile till it - stiff stiff stiff stiff (twin)
Till it stiff
(twin)
Till it stiff
(twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
Sewn that smile until it stiff, same with the frown, twin
Balance the tan, balance the tone,
I like the brown skin
Pick up the phone, get rid of the frown,
I hate the fighting
-lone most nights, till I need a quick-
Till i need a quick- hit
Protests was peace till pigs came out
And shot at my brown kin
Siblings and cousins was fighting the fight
No begging for mercy, it was all action
Banning the flag while they sing at the show
And just in a day bout 250 gone
Sleeping on death, your idols on trial
For acting like gods on blood stained carpet
Daya too busy she swirling her dress,
Hind is her younger self in real life,
Crisis at birth, no midlife, didn't have the privilege
Smile till it - stiff stiff stiff stiff (twin)
Smile till it - stiff stiff stiff stiff (twin)
(twin)
Balance the tone, Balance the tone (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
I like the- I like the- brown skin (twin)
Sewn that smile until it stiff, same with the frown, twin
Balance the tan, balance the tone,
I like the brown skin
Pick up the phone, get rid of the frown,
I hate the fighting
-lone most nights, till I need a quick-
Till i need a quick- hit
