Sword Lilies

[Verse 1: Cavalier]

Fourth down and bout an inch

Missed gettin it by the pound but by a pinch

Makin' a dent with your scratch for the itch like a flash

Only catch but a glimpse now ain’t that a bitch

But if it ain't a bird in the hand there's plenty of fish

‘We’ve got visual' Les miserables

When it was gettin' sprayed or you couldn't test the grade

The plague felt biblical it rain crickets

My hood altar Saint Ides, Saint Laurent, and Saints tickets

Paint the sky grey, smoking on hay by the thickets

These chain gang songs the ‘uh ah' rhythmic

This ain't the flimflam the footwork raindance mystic

At the crossroads James Brown ‘Livin in America'

Facе sweat drippin' and pace my steps in it

Bittеrness is just a taste test ain’t it

You heard the man

Remember the helping hands when you choose the grail

You only lose if you refuse to fail, never loose the sails

Still get goosebumps every move of the scale

But need to scale my tools to lift off and remove the veil

To prevail…

Naked truth

[Verse 2: Quelle Chris]

(True true, you know how they do)

Feel like lately been looking over my shoulders a lot

I ain’t crazy the same ones play me got similar plots on you

I been dreaming a lot my crew be there with me

Landscaping rock formations with our hands waving amazing

Same dog day new assailants

Feeling caged in yet more brazen

Playing the hand I dealt me

Taking knees only props up the the back steppers

We no capitalist we just cash shepherds ya dig me?

I was down bad kissing the streets forgive me

It's said stoically bro just outlive me

I’m startin' to doubt the doubts in me

Black youth indoctrinated with clout envy

From hustlers' hymnals walkin' the thin rope and doin’ limbo

While cymbals crash, love language wasn't taught on Duolingo

Still serve 31 flavors learned from Lo Green and Swing Lo

We exchanged rings on fam sans holy matrimony

You know, naked truth

(Naked truth)
