Aubade

[Verse I]

Hey young world I’m soul searching for my innocence, but in a sense, I guess I’m still a prince

Pardon me, while I’m drifting away, spirits are getting lifted today

Yeah, somewhere over the rainbow my duties calling

I ain’t Julie Garland with the ruby slippers but I do be falling

For sweet lullabies of better days, sunrise, butterflies, see a baby gaze into its mother’s eyes

Nothing eternal about the warmth of an inferno

Gasoline soaking in my thermal here’s a kernel of truth

Through the flames I return to my youth despite the third-degree burns a nigga learned to recoup

I used to say sky’s the limit till I started diving in it, the solution by ninety-five percent of what I defended

Intended to hold the same beliefs at the end of my road the boys turned to men and tend to revolt

And I’ve been told that fortune favors the bold but if she sees me in these streets she better pave them in gold

[Verse II]

I try to be a good nigga but fuck it I stood quicker by dicking the cross I carried inside of a wood chipper

Sniffing the saw dust like lines of yayo sent to my brain like a halo bangbro marched to my rainbow

Used to get rallied, had up had to switch my style up and gallop into the sunset it’s pleasing to my pallet

This is the fourth of nine lives, they say that I’m in jeopardy, curiosity could be the death of me

Don’t pepper me with dreams of celebrity that may never be just let my record speak no need to project my peak

Leo the lion, king of the jungle bringing a humble perspective from all of the things I stumbled upon

Homeland security, the guns are withdrawn, blast let misery stunting in the front of my lawn

Positive vibes so I’m depositing knives in my pocket nobody stopping all my positive vibes, plus

I got a chickity that gives me that affection I was flexing my weapon but for me protection, ignore the clocks

My heart was Fort Knox forget the pass bust open the door and locks, lovely chaos in my Pandora's box
