Blood Orange * Track #1 On Negro Swan

Orlando Lyrics

[Verse 1: Devonté Hynes]
Dreaming Orlando, get it?
Give it time
Walked these steps before
Sixteen-year-old boy
Confused and knowing that he's different, he wants to give in
After school, sucker punched down
Down and out

[Refrain: Devonté Hynes]
First kiss was the floor
First kiss was the floor

[Verse 2: Devonté Hynes]
Think that it won't make a difference if you don't get up
Timing is all
I don't know, tell us more
What they want me to think?
That I'm changing [?]
All that I know was taught to me young
Seen it all before

[Refrain: Devonté Hynes]
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
Shoot, baby, shoot

[Outro: Janet Mock & Devonté Hynes]
Life on the floor
You know, it's an insult we often put onto
Beneath the world
A lot of folk is, like, oh, you're doing too much
So, like, a couple years ago I was like
You know what? My resolution, my internal resolution will be to
Sand in your pearls
To do too much
Yes, I love it
