Say the word
Say the word
My mama made it work, she fed her baby birds
Papa fled and left the earth within his eighty-eighth
Tectonic plates shifting, set aside my ways
Livin' for the finer thangs, struck and cut a vein or nerve
Say the word the play up on the field was overturned
Smoke would cover up the pain, I saw my father burn
Spliff after spliff in the crib, I would watch and learn
I run the race, you move impatient tryna make it first
I grew complacent, I was stationed where I caught that urge
On the verge of breaking through, I'm tryna break these curses
I only got myself to blame, it's me against that person that I was before
My hung face, brittle as a flake
I'm pushing buttons, tryna see it twirl
Whispers in the dark, them teeth was sharp
I got a lion heart, I'm tryna save the world
Who a save me? Save me a seat
Stray from feeling that I can't breathe
Or I can't be thoroughly me, at thirteen
My Egún in the sea, all in between the coasts from Cote d'Ivoire to Benin
Unraveling at my seams, my heart was knotted beneath
I don't want to be a burden, Todd said, "You are not to me"
A single tear up in my eyes, my lotus flower blossoming
I would smile like Siddartha
Pull the sword up out the stone with ease, I'm Arthur
And when I feel alone, l'm still a part of
Large love, loving me was always in the cards, huh?
Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned
They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched
Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned
Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned
They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched
Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned
Say the word, say the word
Tryna save the world
Just say the word
