Intro (Colors)

Put away the gold. Put away the gold
I feel like it's been too long, too long
What you racing for? What you racing for?
Slow down like it's been too long, too long

You left a light on in the attic
So I never felt like I was sleeping alone
(even when I was)
Surrender my own needs to the fire
Just cause I wanted to breath free and alone;
Let it go

And let it collapse until the levee attacks
And once I go past the point I ain't peddling backwards
Till I reach heaven and back and bring evidence back
And it's just blank pages rolled up with a ribbon attached

No scrolls this time; no slow decline
Just an empty bar smile with a gold digger's soul
Got us glow; gimme god on the blow bench
Tryna sneak into Woodstock, maybe her and her four friends

Midwest kid with a buck and a beat
Just wanted to speak: be heard by someone other than the trees
Or to be listened to, or just a listen or a fucking forgive
Cause in the end we just wanted to sing

Rip down the curtains set a fire try to cleanse
All the damage that I'm doing when I loaded on a binge
Sacred organism just soaking innocent like sun;
Smiling faces like we loaded in the end

Find direction in the breeze like you down by the wind, tryna run
Realize the baddest when you win like one
We just hoping for some shine like you;
We just want them to hear the shit we say and shit we do

You say you don't listen and I wanna believe you
But I know we got the whole city pulsing to the beat
Memories are a house fire forever burning
But I'm learning to smile smelling the sulfur in my sleep

Am I closer to my dream? Am I sober from too much of it?
Universe reacting to what we wrote in a covenant
Coloring abundance so we splashing for the fuck of it
New life filtering a city when we summon it
And running it

But still tryna hold my liquor
If I can it'll make it go down quicker
Double that double that make them figures
Damn me dirty but you still my nigga
Still my nigga and that's the truth
And I ain't in the secret stones just to cast a few

What was fucked up is if it every paid off for me
All I want to do is bring it all back to you
I been crossing frozen streams, shivering cold
The ghost busters packs for delivering souls
And as the mission unfolds to deliver the scrolls
Read the words from the heart “I'ma get you to go”
And that's real (that's real, that's real...)

Put away the gold. Put away the gold
I feel like it's been too long, too long
