[Intro: Raven Artson]
You and I
Our cage is commonly divided
How we fight, how we fight
They send it out in pieces
Pieces we can try to complete our peace of mind
In the gods of black-and-white we trust
[Verse 1: Negashi Armada]
'Kay, we're not like everyone else
How we grow and evolve
And it ain't the weed or alcohol, ain't your fault
As a child, your parents prescribed you no rap cap at all
No time for it, be like that sometimes
And what had happened was
Staring at the stars
Howling, the moon get catcalled
By the Cheshire Cat with the neon fur and the black paws
To all my niggas in the chain gang, hats off
Or you an insurgent on the run? Burn your tats off
Do-mi-re-fa-si-la-ti-do
Tryna not be too topical
[Chorus: Raven Artson]
Back off, I am your friend
I'm just trying to help out, don't you understand?
Every time I refresh, I discover more stress
I'm going crazy
I ain't the type to type-whine this
But I'm stuck in hyperbolic timing
I would love to redefine things
(It's just something I don't want to spend much time with)
[Verse 2: Negashi Armada]
Or you an insurgent on the run? Burn your tats off
Do-mi-re-fa-si-la-ti-do
Tryna not be too topical
On the front page, Houston Chronicle
IG baddies up in Pappadeux
Swear we had this convo before
But I'm not myself, I'm actually all us
Hold my fucking childhood up like it's the damn Stanley Cup
Hood nerd, but I never ever played Yu-Gi-Oh
Just cherish and try to praise the beautiful
[Chorus: Raven Artson]
Hang on, you are my friend
Something I'm scared of, if you understand
That I'm used to myself, carrying my own legs
Into safety
Therefore, I admire
How you keep inviting all this light in
I'm redirecting what I'm liking
'Cause I'm ready to address the things that try me
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Raven Artson]
Hang on, you are my friend
Something I'm scared of
