[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 your 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 your 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, blood clot 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 your saints away, put those things away
[Verse 3: Illosopher]
Bummer for a summer lasts lifetimes
A reflection on a never-ending trite crime
Fleeting feelings flood rummaged crumbs
Witness nihilistic chums drunk a rum
All to see is bums run from problems
Exceeding prioritized gun prodders
Harder marauders come together
For Cum Laudes
Welcoming prying trotters
Entering possibilities necessary
Coining food gluttons
Of course once inside the mind
Control is no hard task
To pass on far dealers
Universally declined
By members of the ink lined dotted line
Blind the established fines
As to chime a generous kind gesture
Better yet fester the jester
Killing lives through seconds of time
Pricked by the porcupine of age
Please end this period sage
I concur adjournment for your enjoyment
[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 your saints away, put those things away
[Verse 4: 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 your saints away, put those things away
