24 Gospel

[Verse 1: Navy Blue]

All the moments spent cryin', I was meant to laugh

The past don't hurt as much as it did

I'm intact

Dishonorable syntax

Just tryna cope

I had a head full of smoke

And a stomach where the gin sat

Imagine if I didn't rap

I'm grateful for the Gift of Gab

Articulate the brake then let a wave crash

The place I put my pain at

The place I let it rain at

Where the fleetin' feelin's ain't facts

This a transmutation of a sane man

Flyin' through the outer-realm and prayin' for a safe landin'

My kinda grace candid

And Sage managed

To make it out alive and live a life of great standards

My hеad spinin' like a breakdancer

With all my problеms in question, I got the same answers

I meander

The path zig-zaggin' like a jack-o'-lantern

My innerlight relyin' on my candor

To make the expedition, gotta plan first

I had the premonitions, grippin', grimace 'til my hands hurt

All that petty banter

When I was busy kickin' cans

Young, black, gifted like the Panthers

Past life regressions at a glance

I speak the language of the heart

Those who seek it understand

I trust it, where I'm meant to be is where I am

Spirit led me through the ash and left impressions in the sand

[Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt]

Swift on my toes, stick with me

Pick up the tempo and pulse, the Ninja blender, spin 'em until they pulp

Unfiltered, the Brita broken

Bruh bitter, had a cup spillin'

His missus won't give up or go

Tough titty, the whole

It took a toll on 'em mental to never switch up, but still want different results

Sisyphus liftin' a load

It's a slippery slope

The boulder big and wide

Aloha- I mean goodbye and hello

Thin Lizzy, the boys back in town, the villagers know

Sin City, local, kiss the ground

I've been here before

Sittin' pretty, I'm the one who manufactured the storm

Advantage me, I broke the tie, we had to move on

Answer me please, I had his baba cast me the stone

The animal ain't screamin', we slashed 'em

My daddy went home

Snatched out of sleep

Shattered dreams, they crash in the mornin'

Gotta keep it brief, the liturgy, it had to be poems

Hm, hm, hm

[Outro: Robin Williams]

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race

And the human race is filled with passion

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life, but poetry: beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for
