Favourite Game (feat. Lucy Michelle)

[Verse 1: Toussaint Morrison]
Katie, it’ll take more than salvation
The world shifted 4 inches but I never felt the wave hit
This planet’s swallowin’ itself, we can’t claim it
And I’m sure now more than ever it’s not what we take with
Let alone who your God thinks you should be datin’
The after-life can wait, right now this world needs savin’
If you didn’t have so many definitions, I’d kiss ya
Hard. Until your knees wondered what hit ya

So, Katie, heaven or hell, please tell me my destination
Jesus has patients, but he sure isn’t waitin’
We used to watch cops everyday regulate their God-complex
Walkin’ with Abdullahi and Muhammad around the Plaza
But all praises be to Allah, if we get there
Talkin’ to my grandfather over his grave with a warm beer
Because Katie, you got more walls than most
But it won’t stop me from speakin’ thru’em like mailin’ letters to prisoners post

[Chorus: Lucy Michelle]
For all we know and all we don’t
Everything was meant to change
Tomorrow’s comin’ round and today is goin’ out
It’ll never be the same
But I know, I know, I know, I know
For me, you will never fade

[Verse 2: Toussaint Morrison]
Kyle, I dig your hat, I dig your style
I’m mildly obsessed and I don’t care to fight it
Ever since I saw you at Bon Apetit with Steph
He’d introduce you as Cecil and then say you lost the bet
And there it was, back then it seemed so species
You planted a tree at the extinction of the Cenospecies
I watched it grow until I had to graduate
And attend a funeral after The Blend dug its own grave

I tried talkin’ to Dotty, but she was already pilled up
Rantin’ that rap can’t save you, but credits her life to hip-hop
Got it
Took another Lexapro and she popped it
But amongst the metro I too slowly let go
Your voice and cadence are few of the things I withhold
Long live the tree that blooms all seasons in your garden
Long live the hands that give it water, long live the otter

[Chorus: Lucy Michelle]
For all we know and all we don’t
Everything was meant to change
Tomorrow’s comin’ round and today is goin’ out
It’ll never be the same
But I know, I know, I know, I know
For me, you will never fade

[Verse 3: Toussaint Morrison]
It’s not my place to put your name out in the open
But want to say what I couldn’t, during visiting hours at St. Joseph’s
Playing Go Fish at the inpatient lounge
With enough sedated rage to shake the foundations off the ground
The weight in your veins, the colours that came back to your face
The truth that saved this page from a eulogy for an early grave
To say “I love you” doesn’t come close to the zip code or continent
Where my heart lives for your livelihood

I wanted to be a monolith, but the ceiling still fell
And there we were, playing cards in rehab while we could still feel
And I’m sorry that I couldn’t be more
That I couldn’t find the words until I was starin’ at this coffeeshop’s floor
Curses, bad luck and adversity lose all currency at your entrance, as your will flexes beyond the permanent
I never met your father, but if he’s anything your made of
I’d day happy to be half that man. Say love

[Chorus: Lucy Michelle]
For all we know and all we don’t
Everything was meant to change
Tomorrow’s comin’ round and today is goin’ out
It’ll never be the same
But I know, I know, I know, I know
For me, you will never fade

For all we know and all we don’t
Everything was meant to change
Tomorrow’s comin’ round and today is goin’ out
It’ll never be the same
But I know, I know, I know, I know
For me, you will never fade
