SACRED SAFE

[Chorus: Merrill Garbus & Quelle Chris] Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your keys engaged, are your keys engaged? Chase those saints away, chase those saints away Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your hearts engaged, are your hearts engaged? Keep those saints away, put those things away [Verse 1: Cavalier] Born of a sufferer, might die a sufferer Fight like a sufferer, might rise as a sufferer Took me a couple of lifetimes to toughen up Each life like one hell of ride, buckle up Keep on truckin', we Einsteins of fuckin' up These are the breaks, just shake it off or suck it up Or sabotage through self-destruct We camouflage with healthy blunts I'm findin' comfort in my personal space of pain I'm just a sculpture getting shaped by mistakes I've made Got performative friends, weasels need to weed out my life I'm prayin' to the voice of Morgan Freeman at night Just when I thought I'm peakin', seeing the light Off the strength of few Kegels, she gon' squeeze out a tyke And that's my baby boy, I'm makin' bricks out the clay and soil To pave the way to my greatest joy [Chorus: Merrill Garbus & Quelle Chris] Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your keys engaged, are your keys engaged? Chase those saints away, chase those saints away Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your hearts engaged, are your hearts engaged? Keep those saints away, put those things away [Verse 2: Homeboy Sandman] Today I'm feelin' even worse, B Every single person on Earth irks me, lawdamercy The skin affliction of my pigments now extended to my upper arm I have no idea whattagworn And normally if chicks approach with a come on, I might nod But, now they like, "come on", I'm like nah, word I morn the age before the gods conspired The era when I was not tired, bloodclaat fire Feel like I'm being burned on a pyre Feel like I'm being turned to a bird on a wire It's way too much to swallow and a part of me like "follow me to wallow in a mire" I'm like, yes, iyah And regularly on edge Here's another shot at tryin' to be honest Vital part of makin' omelets is break eggs Despite all of it, I still remember that, Jah bless, yes [Chorus: Merrill Garbus & Quelle Chris] Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your keys engaged, are your keys engaged Chase those saints away, chase those saints away Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your hearts engaged, are your hearts engaged Keep those saints away, keep those things away [Verse 3: Quelle Chris] Been sippin' light rum in the dark all day Tell my fam run when they come by to pray Be by the grace of I find my way Said if I must die, then I'll die my way Come the world scream get up The late up and wakes the wounds need stitch ups The body aches, the wait 'til break of dawn A song sings, wait be strong The arms give, shake, hold on The goal seems far throw long, seek The call of the dreams beyond sleep That same ol' you can't lose when your track record's 0 and 0 You can't win when you're tryin' to chase so-and-so But if the storm must stay The wind gives warn and the skies go grey I'll bite sharp tongue while I spark my J What a bah da biddy bum bum biddy bye bye biddy Bum biddy bum bum biddy bye bye biddy Bum biddy bum bum... [Chorus: Merrill Garbus & Quelle Chris] Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your keys engaged, are your keys engaged Chase those saints away, chase those saints away Sacred safe, sacred safe Are your hearts engaged, are your hearts engaged Keep those saints away, keep those things away
