SACRED SAFE

[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 those 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 those 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, bloodclaat 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 those saints away, keep those things away

[Verse 3: 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 those saints away, keep those things away
