[Verse 1: Navy Blue] All the moments spent cryin', I was meant to laugh The past don't hurt as much as it did I'm intact Dishonorable syntax Just tryna cope I had a head full of smoke And a stomach where the gin sat Imagine if I didn't rap I'm grateful for the Gift of Gab Articulate the brake then let a wave crash The place I put my pain at The place I let it rain at Where the fleetin' feelin's ain't facts This a transmutation of a sane man Flyin' through the outer-realm and prayin' for a safe landin' My kinda grace candid And Sage managed To make it out alive and live a life of great standards My hеad spinin' like a breakdancer With all my problеms in question, I got the same answers I meander The path zig-zaggin' like a jack-o'-lantern My innerlight relyin' on my candor To make the expedition, gotta plan first I had the premonitions, grippin', grimace 'til my hands hurt All that petty banter When I was busy kickin' cans Young, black, gifted like the Panthers Past life regressions at a glance I speak the language of the heart Those who seek it understand I trust it, where I'm meant to be is where I am Spirit led me through the ash and left impressions in the sand [Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt] Swift on my toes, stick with me Pick up the tempo and pulse, the Ninja blender, spin 'em until they pulp Unfiltered, the Brita broken Bruh bitter, had a cup spillin' His missus won't give up or go Tough titty, the whole It took a toll on 'em mental to never switch up, but still want different results Sisyphus liftin' a load It's a slippery slope The boulder big and wide Aloha- I mean goodbye and hello Thin Lizzy, the boys back in town, the villagers know Sin City, local, kiss the ground I've been here before Sittin' pretty, I'm the one who manufactured the storm Advantage me, I broke the tie, we had to move on Answer me please, I had his baba cast me the stone The animal ain't screamin', we slashed 'em My daddy went home Snatched out of sleep Shattered dreams, they crash in the mornin' Gotta keep it brief, the liturgy, it had to be poems Hm, hm, hm [Outro: Robin Williams] We don't read and write poetry because it's cute We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race And the human race is filled with passion And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life, but poetry: beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for
