Baby Teeth

[Intro]
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunrise
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine

[Verse 1]
The Light it always finds a way
Heights warn me of my climbs a stray
Still, I climb, still I yearn, still I strive away
No brakes yet I pedal this race
All my heroes are dead or disgraced
Potential in my mind, foreign coins in a drawer
I know they're worth something but unsure of what for
I'm hard to cancel like a free trial
But my hang ups about my self
And my art aren't afraid to redial, meanwhile
I've been breaking eggs for some sunny thoughts
When will I learn stillness harbours all I hurry for
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
When the money talks and my greed is so uninformed
Lift the lid on my love and there is hate beneath
All my dreams fell apart, but they were baby teeth
Yeah, there's bigger to come, and if I listen to some
Give me the wisdom to stay or the wisdom to run
See, I've been fast asleep
My mum spent her whole life planting trees
The shade of their leaves she never sat beneath
That's the meaning of life
I've been left shipwrecked but now I'm seeing it right
And what's climbing ladders, when you know that kindness matters
Yeah, my friends are my wealth
Now I know that my friends are my wealth
Been trying to be a better friend to my friends and myself

[Chorus]
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunrise
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel older than people that are my age
Man are talking 'bout the wave but they're in the sunken place
I've been on many a stage showcasing all my ability
I'm better than them lyrically I guess I'm just not gimmicking
The truth though, so I'm still managing
And you know how the truth goes
N***as can't manage it, yeah
My n***as doing OTs in other territories
I been OT in the booth doing up melodies
That's two for one to keep it on a truthful one
The best rapper I know don't rap; he's got a move to run
I'm tryna be graceful and tasteful and keep my karma clean
I don't wanna get shadeborough'd into a drama scene

[Chorus]
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunlight
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine

[Outro]
You lead me
You lead me
You lead me higher
