mars

[Verse 1]

I'm exhausted

Wake and do what pays me, that ain't never take caution

Know I'm 'bout to hear that, "Aw shit," when I walk in

I don't even want it for real, shit make me nauseous, but

My whole existence reminiscent to a broke faucet

I might just leak, but keep flowing be the only option

Alienated as a bitch, the first Black Martian

And all them days my brain was fucked, was out the crib walking

And looking for a place to call home, uh

Just looking for a place I'm valued when I’m talking

I'm gon' get lost tryn' find the sun, where my coffin at?

My lungs itch, they pass mе shit to see me coughing

And they gon' keep a smile up likе that shit awesome?

Every time they come around, I be playing possum

Every time they come around, I be playing possum

Every time they come around

[Chorus]

Rip them wings off my back, I won't fly away

Nigga what's the deal? I got time today

I can see the light, it's a mile away

It's a mile, it's a mile, it's a mile

Rip them wings off my back, I won't fly away (Hey)

Nigga what's the deal? I got time today

I can see the light, it's a mile away

It's a mile, it's a mile, it's a mile

[Verse 2]

A million steps with the same flesh that I came with

I only vent with the same breath that I sang with

Ongoing brawls in my brain

I reach for y'all, I'm gon' strain, I been the one to not lane switch

But I look like a fool resenting you and you kin to me

Everyday been clear since I found out you ain't the enemy

My nigga, grab me when I sink, sharp me when they move slicker

I know how to swim but I swear that blood thicker

All I need to learn is showing skin

I swear it's somethin' 'bout my people only findin' solace in the pen

Never frolicked in the wind but figured how to blow

Most time we just wan' feel freedom so we get it how we know

I pull up and you pull up and we both spill, that’s how it go

Interlocking get us solid, I can't do this on my own

Fuck, said I can't do this on my own, look

But I still, but I still, but I still, but I still

[Chorus]

Rip them wings off my back, I won't fly away

Nigga what's the deal? I got time today

I can see the light, it's a mile away

It's a mile, it's a mile, it's a mile

Rip them wings off my back, I won't fly away

Nigga what's the deal? I got time today

I can see the light, it's a mile away

It's a mile, it's a mile, it's a mile (Hey)
