Bourbon is the fourth track on the Grammy nominated album Ology. In this remix, the Chicago rapper Saba adds his touch to the track that he had already toyed around with on NPR’s Tiny Desk Series.
[Verse 1: Gallant]
I'm a headless horseman on quilted sand dunes
With my neck wide open, I pray for refuge
[Pre-Chorus: Gallant]
'Cause since I've been found I've been living a life in cages
Withering down to the champagne quicksand
Wrestling doubt I've been dragging around for ages
I tried to let it drain but my veins are hopeless
[Chorus: Gallant]
'Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking, I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup
[Verse 2: Gallant]
I'm a tri-tone bible with misprint logic, oh yeah
I count lunar cycles with faithless prophets
[Pre-Chorus: Gallant]
'Cause since I've been found I've been living a life in cages (life in cages)
Withering down to the champagne quicksand (champagne quicksand)
Wrestling doubt I've been dragging around for ages (dragging around for ages)
I tried to let it drain but my veins are hopeless
[Chorus: Gallant]
'Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking, I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup
[Verse 3: Saba]
Ay, some guy might say what you can't do
But I say that it ain't true
'Cause a guy and an angel when I light 'em
An artist I might paint you
They got thoughts but it ain't food
I know life is a painful place and the same fools hatin' will be the ones
With a similar path to the same one you've taken
And for a little bit, I can't stay but
I gotta make the most of my time
Focus and grind 'cause the whole city dyin'
And I've never had the glory but I'm tryin'
And I've tried, and I advise
Live to stop the liar
Like a visor block the shine and
Let the light and truth be told a Michael Tyson
And remember and ta-ta
Get a bit discouraged, or maybe that was misworded
Or let it be misquoted
But I feel like it's certain that I walk for it like toward the Lord and lead them all like tutorials
Like Toro y Moi the cause of this all is life and that shit's hard
Still fuck what a naysayer may say
On stage in the bay, hit the nae nae
Serious like the radio can't say
I got dreams I'mma make it
But until my AKA is the greatest, I don't give a fuck about an alias
I am human, I'm homosapien, makin' the best of my situation
[Chorus: Gallant]
'Cause I loved in cold blood and got used to it
Angels say trust the detox
But I'm shaking, I need it like bourbon in my coffee cup (bourbon in my coffee cup)
