Doing 20 in the sun
Dream-like
Had limbs all swingin’ in the air
Told the trees i’m tryna fly my kite
Had the city leaving grass in my hair
Riding ’til I can’t feel my face
In the bike lane going nowhere
All my days don’t feel long as my nights;
I’d be lying if I said I don’t care
Brown skin like terra-cotta burning
Vauxhall on the cop car face
Even home don’t feel like home
Laying down feel like running in place
Can’t get away from all the money I owe
Took the world on a high speed chase
Put the bitter in the glass
Ice cold
Routine turning to a rat race
Yesterday I was talking to a ghost
That’s just something thats been hard to admit
I wish my cousin got to watch me fall in lovе
Waiting for a call from him
Checking my wrist watch
Mother used to say I was thе Sun
Umber flesh close around the wound
Sweet nothings never sat on my tongue
Ain’t you know that honey comes in all-
Hues
I feel like honey gold
Don’t forget to go…
I feel like honey gold
I feel like…
Good leg space
It feels roomy
In a good headspace when I read Rumi
Everybody tells me it’s coming real soon E-
Started with a wave, now it’s feeling monsoon-ey. (x2)
Mother used to say I was the Sun
Umber flesh close around the wound
Sweet nothings never sat on my tongue
Ain’t you know that honey comes in all-
Hues
Thick hair
Brown skin
Pink lungs
Close a coffin with the nails i’ve chewed
Rolling like a stone off a counter-top drug
Cuban link looking like a new noose…
Noose
Don’t you know that honey comes in I-
Rolling off a counter-top;
Drug…
Drowning
I feel like I’m
Drowning
Oh
Drowning,,,
