224

[Intro: Bob Marley]

Well, survival is for survival you know

In this time especially, going through so much struggle

You know when you struggle, you struggle to survive

So we always know the struggle

And survival is a reality for we have to survive

[Chorus]

224 from day five, deathly scorn by age six

All alone when Sage cry

Tears of joy, my pain fixed

[Verse]

Left amidst to learn some

Found a vice in these spliffs

Trust the flame, made me numb

Same advice had me blitzed

I can't go to where I hide

My sunken place, ain't have a lid

Just like the Pataki say

Shame will have you missing limbs

I can say I love myself, finally I love it here

I can say I love you too

Promise I don't live in fear no more

I got papa's dearest glow, feel his spirit close

Height of soul, my soul's below

Faces on a totem pole

Slow and steady grants you growth

Can't nobody hand you hope

Wish I had your hand to hold

With gratitude I dance alone

Gotta soothe my damaged soul

Papa knew I'd manage though

We was playing dominos, Bananagram and Scrabble

Long trips around the beaming sun

Whatever come was planned I know, I know

I know you miss me like I miss you

More to me than bones and tissue

Gotta bleed to make it visceral

Flee from out the physical

Demons out to get you, they gon' get you if you let 'em

Breathe and soar to heaven, ain't no way I could forget 'em

Excavation of my treasure, transportation serves me better

Got no plans to beat myself up, if I do, I use a feather

On a scale of weighing heart, sacred bond when we together

Yeah, I'm glad found the light 'cause in my darkness I was tethered

Made my way from wrong to right, live this life for my ancestors

I live this life for my ancestors

[Chorus]

224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six

All alone when Sage cry

Tears of joy, my pain fixed

224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six

All alone when Sage cry

Tears of joy, my pain fixed

My pain fixed

224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six

All alone when Sage cry

Tears of joy, my pain fixed

224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six

All alone when Sage cry

Tears of joy, my pain fixed

[Outro]

Fixed me

Live this life for my ancestors

Live this life for my ancestors

Yeah, yeah, Navy
