Noah Genesis - Not Me/Not U (feat. tugi ndichu) Lyrics

It's not me
It's not you, it's not you
It's not me
It's not you, I promise

I feel my lungs collapsing, gasp for air
Yet again a worried soul moves her mattress
Time passing but we're going backwards
Only fourteen but worried 'bout her momma's taxes

Not to mention that her daddy's lacking
Through the negligence and picking favorites, she reacted
Flowers raining from her cloudy basket
Lightning struck, the man woke from his open casket

Admission is the first step to betterment
Persevered and pushed through the sediment
Your muddy track record stamped on your letterman
Tried to wipe it off but it stuck like paraffin

I promise we'll be okay
Rest easy, go to sleep for your soul's sake
Everything's gon' be okay
We got each other as our home, love will keep you safe

I promise we'll be okay
Rest easy, go to sleep for your soul's sake
Everything's gon' be okay
We got each other as our home, love will keep you safe

I watch your weary eyes cry again
Same blood but I want to be a better friend
Put your pain in my palm, for my hand I'll lend
You'll go to great heights, I promise that you will ascend

We gon' emancipate you from this landscape
And from the shackles of your dad's fate
You in the hole from machines that would excavate
Systematic problems from the pressure of becoming great

But f*ck the pressure it was laced
F*ck the pressure, you a flower blooming out the vase
Had your stems cut and roots gone but we embrace
You're perfect and you're meant to be inside of space

The streetlights flicker as the night unfolds
Time waits for no one, and it leaves you cold
As you stumble down the path
Your shadow shows
An innocence lost and an empty soul

A lifetime of stories
Where does it begin?
One day your wounds will be scars
You'll be free

I promise we'll be okay
Rest easy, go to sleep for your soul's sake
Everything's gon be okay
We got each other as our home, love will keep you safe

I promise we'll be okay
Rest easy, go to sleep for your soul's sake
Everything's gon be okay
We got each other as our home, love will keep you safe
