First Light

[Verse 1] I'm on farmer time If you trippin' the line where silence hide inside I and I, at my most wide was I Five alive Who weighed the lies? Confirm, do not deny They found his utterances puzzling Trouble in the middle without covering Hair wrapped in silk, proudly patterned, long sufferer Dragging luggage, scraping knuckles, piecing together a most high The tongues lied No translation, we testing spirit Furthest, nearеst Under the sound of my voice, you feel mе? Heating where the fear is We're all mirrors in the sun, blinding, careless Bite my style, I'm fine, you wear it [Interlude] Don't let me lose you [Verse 2] Getting to the spaces in between, licking my fingers Play without abandon like children chasing embers We came in through the same gate You can hop your way out Nobody knows you did it Can't nobody reach you Can't nobody touch 'em Bleeding out We need signs and wonders Pussy is legal tender too, I'm much inclined to wonder You might catch me talkin' to my wounds, somebody lying (Lying) Nah, I can't follow all the rules I call before I come I knock before I enter Water bottle as a gift Didn't take a sip, but if you insist For the multitude, inside and out If you should ever call, the principle is pleasure Multiply the feeling, to the power of whoever Who would suggest an origin for life? My old Earth If gold's to be worn, then it shall I wear this collar when I'm poeting and when I'm not He's only human, then he's not Except Blackness My low end got a thump, it's getting hotter at night Bleaching up the block, U-Haul trucks Rolling gates, heavy lock Woke the baby, ghost ride the excavator [Interlude] Let it ride What the dark scientists are saying [Verse 3] Bad dope in Long Beach Bad dope on Herk, hurt Headfirst, spike Earth Sing a song to make the flood cease Too much country, born free, sworn seed I wore all-green shades and tones My lover steady, stutter, speaking My morning starts in service, hard to reset Breaking fast, push the button, tilt my seat back Nobody really wants to crash, eat that I be intercontinental Groggy, thirty thousand feet or hours Swollen member, smelling flowers Poking through the lobby No ID, trust me, I'm Lonnie Holley Highly favored, somebody pray for me I can't keep it to myself, I'm on farmer time Feet trippin' the line with silence hides inside I and I, at my most, wide as I [Outro] Good morning
