Lyrics
[Chorus: Brother Ali] Avoiding the eyes of passersby Tossed away and cast aside The silence amplified Too much to say, I can't describe Avoiding the eyes of passersby Tossed away and cast aside The silence amplified Too much to say, I can't describe [Verse 1: Brother Ali] I'm numb and unaccompanied Maybe feeling love is a luxury I hunger for the subtlety of company The discovery of being touched and seen I love with reckless abandon Chest expanding, stretch your whole hand in Core passion thеre for the grasping I make no dеmand of my companion I cross the line from melancholy to madness Cycle spiral, I feel I'm abandoned like I ain't valid, taken for granted Might as well be stranded on another planet I ain't welcome here Simply tryna get a clear fresh breath of air They treat me like a creature from yesteryear Like it's some uniform that I never wear, let me disappear [Pre-Chorus: Brother Ali] I never understood why they thought I was no good I guess it look like I was made that way When I'm walking on this road, I feel so all alone and cold I want a home to chase this pain away [Chorus: Brother Ali] Avoiding the eyes of passersby Tossed away and cast aside The silence amplified Too much to say, I can't describe [Verse 2: Brother Ali] Hard times in this crazy town Heartless eyes want to stare me down They fight corruption with ugliness Closest thing to justice is punishment This country is a science project The old push their hate out, young internalize it The stand-in that passes for love Possession and sex and attention and drugs But maybe if I'm famous I can exist and won't have to explain it Erased and nameless or disgraced and shameless Privacy is sacred Glad tidings to the strangers [Pre-Chorus: Brother Ali] I never understood why they thought I was no good I guess it look like I was made that way When I'm walking on this road, I feel so all alone and cold I want a home to chase this pain away [Chorus: Brother Ali] Avoiding the eyes of passersby Tossed away and cast aside The silence amplified Too much to say, I can't describe Avoiding the eyes of passersby Tossed away and cast aside The silence amplified Too much to say, I can't describe [Outro: Brother Ali] Yo, um, so, I actually recut the hook for "Cast Aside" I went down, like the way that you told me to the first— when I was at your crib I just thought that like, the original way I heard it, I was like, "Well, maybe I could pull it off," but I— so I recut the hook, and it's, it goes down instead of up now And I think it sounds way better, but I didn't have, uh Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, I didn't have time to— That, them calling for prayer means it time, we're starting fast, and so Um, I didn't get a chance to like edit it and send it to you, but But I recut it and I think it's a lot better I gotta hear it all put together, but I think that one is good now Um, so I'll be able to send it to you tomorrow, in sha' Allah
