lyrics

Now this was gonna be another bad dub on self-hate
But I felt great
Telling Earth that hell's safe
She said, “don't worry, they might go hurry to chase sights”
Old dirty slaves fight a whole thirty days and nights
And we know the game ain't played right but still the wind blows
So when I chill with kinfolk to kill the mis-quotes
I show them turntables just to watch them spin 'round
See, we lost on thin ground
Chin down
This crown fell from the kings into the hands of the peasants
The often broke common folk now dance with the essence
With the flames in our eyes we'll spark fireworks
So loud it scars tired jerks with hardwired smirks

I no longer feel like a deaf man in dead last
I left that
I kept fast dancing ‘till my neck snapped
Watch my head collapse
I chest-strapped a jetpack like, "can y'all hold it down ‘till I get back?"
I may be a while
Save me a smile and your best laughs
When we change the dial I’ll replace the pile of “get better soon” cards on tombstones with clipped rose petals
And consolation prizes with slick gold medals
Aim the missile
Take the chisel to the brick road’s yellow
Make crowns for kids who kick and throw pebbles
Change frowns
Clean streets ‘till there’s no conflicts
No rebels
Maybe take you by the hand to the place where the thick snow settles

There’s faith and love in each individual soul
They shape and change even our principal goals
If we can keep our spirits inspired with zeal
The fires we feel will blaze higher and heal
There’s faith and love in each individual soul
They shape and change even our principal goals
If we can keep our spirits inspired with zeal
The fires we feel will blaze higher and heal
There's faith and love...

Yeah, I wrote a lot of songs
But I was granted the freedom to sing them
When I was handed the keys to the kingdom
