And now, let's repeat the Non-Conformist Oath!

I promise to be different!

[Audience]

I promise to be different!

[Speaker]

I promise to be unique!

[Audience]

I promise to be unique!

[Speaker]

I promise not to repeat things other people say!

[Verse 1: Kelela]

Don't try to hide away

You know you've been on

Though I'm keeping calm, I'm not on

Go away, my love

Thought I could change our fate

I tried again, but this delay

It's more than I can take

[Chorus: Kelela]

And it got to me

When you state your love

And you walk away

What could you be on?

Now you're not around

But I hope you see

I will be full-on

If it's up to me

It's all I got

[Verse 2: Kelela]

Feels so good doing me

If you take a look at the time you took and move on

But don't go too far, my lover

We could try harder, baby

There's gotta be a better way

So much that we could make it

[Chorus: Kelela]

And it got to me

When you state your love

But you run away

What could you be on?

Now you're not around

But I hope you see

Gotta be full-on

It is up to me

It's all I got

[Interlude: Kelela & 2-D Harmonizing]

It's all I got

It's all I got

It's all I got

[Verse 3: Danny Brown]

Wish I could think of better ways

'Cause I lost my patience yesterday

If you could see inside of me

There'd be no heart on my X-ray

Opponents tryna checkmate

But I don't see no escape

Just tryna keep my head straight

On thin ice with the ice skates

At times, I feel like givin' up

'Cause it feels like I've had enough

Felt like my soul in handcuffs

Got questions with no answers

Can't help me out, I need a friend

I'm losin' faith in this world of sin

Tryna make ends meet with a week, no sleep

It's like a cycle that never ends

I can't contend with no handlin'

I can't take care of no grown man

All by myself, cryin' for help

But won't get saved by no Superman

All comes down to the mighty dollar

Greed and lust, abusin' power

Clock is tickin', hour after hour

Maybe when I throw my hands, I'll holla

[Chorus: Kelela]

And you got to me

When you state your love

But you run away

What could you be on?

Now you're not around

But I hope you see

Gotta be full-on

It is up to me
