Lyrics

Jordan // You know like sometimes when I cry, I won't know why I'm
crying. So, is it okay to cry or is it not okay.
Tobe // It's harder for us to express our feelings because we're, we're
taught young to, uh, bottle them up, uh, and be tough
Jordan // Yeah

Look, I spit a verse so a horde of heathens can find the light

But keep a _____ that tear tissue like it's time to wipe
Don't fret, my first step ain't to resign ya life
Plus that ____ fye, don't bar until it's time to bite

Hell once you find a wife, you do what you must do

To protect her and keep her up off a stretcher 'til she due
To have a baby, glad a lady came up to me and said
"Congratulations don't come to those rather lazy instead
Of hard working"

We all searching for affirmation

Some sheeple wander the atlas for validation
And valid statements from those who never will validate 'em
I pray I navigate 'em to a fortress where congregating with angels is
the norm

You pray and they perform

Immaculate miracles to help you evade the storm
Of vipers, snipers, and every wicked form
Of evil that's been tryna deceive you since you was born

With ya heavens sent melanin

Don't let 'em convince you that ya etiquettes' a speech impediment
I'm in my element and feel benevolent even when I'm viewed as the
elephant
In every residence I'm stepping in but hell I ain't trippin'

Aye mayne, say mayne, flow nuts macadamia

I'm from the city of purple spitting vibrainium
Get it in your cranium, can't nobody simba him
And if I ever go down it'll be like swingin' like pendulums, ooh

Tobe// Let me just be honest, like so like a month ago my dad

told me for the very first time ever in his life that he
loved me. And w, watch this. It, it threw him off so
much when he said it, that he had to say it, and then
just hang up the phone. Like he said it quick like, I was
like, "All right Dad I'm a holler at you, uh peace." He
said, "Okay love you. Bye." And I said, "Hold on, hold
on, hold on."

We come from where most don't break free

We had to learn why caged birds sing
But we fly even though they poisoned the sky
We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie
So I'ma need my bread hot fresh and ready

For those who tried to keep me on ice like a YETI
The west be where they pressed me to a diamond
That's why I throw it up like the Heimlich
I'm just maneuvering on the serpents head

Swear I tread on the skull of my enemies
And I'm quadrupling anything that I touch
If it's milk and honey dummy, I'm the honey bee
buzzin'

You can see the pure pollination
Need G's like Masons and a haven

For these beats I freak on the daily
I lose sleep putting feet to the pavement

And grindin' like a power tool or axe

Refinin' everything I do on wax
My time is near and I refuse to lack
The Shine which only a diamond can match
Bling, bling (Bling, bling)

Tobe // But how I grew up is my dad and, because his dad did the

same thing to him. Uh, like the emotional boy wasn't' really
there with them, but they felt like "If I provide for you, like I
feed you. You should know I love you. I ain’t gotta say it.
I said, "All right Dad. I just wanted to say I love you too.

We come from where most don't break free

We had to learn why caged birds sing
But we fly even though they poisoned the sky
We don't cry, we gon' take our piece of the pie
