Kite

[Hook]
Girl, even when you in the sky
I can feel you by my side
The things I'd do just to get next to you
And even when I'm losing sight
You my soul and you my kite
Why did God go have me blessed with you?

[Verse 1]
Hey Ma, it's been a while since I did this
But I've been out, I've been slippin'
And your almighty friend's been cryptic
So, needless to say, I've been mad lost
So now I'm tryna pay attention
But that cost as much as my rent does
So now I'm rounding up the amount
Of the times they counted me out
Tryna find an accountant like
These the vibes that make my black friends say I’m not a rapper
But all of my white friends say this is nice
And that I should never ever stop practice
And well, that kinda feels weird
But not because of our skin colors
More so because I thought it wouldn’t appeal to no kids struggles
These auras I feel are totally muddled, cluttered
Baby, let me let the track breathe
Told her, “Go ahead, entrap me
Cuddle my back, honey please I’ve been slacking
Girl, you’re the only one I trust
Don’t attack me, just attach me—"
Can’t wait until they hear the next thing I got in store
Cause all there’ll be is bars
And they’ll be coming at you raw and uncooked
Right hooking all you jokers like a vigilante on the rise
I wish I could dance with you still
I wish I could dance with you
If you were still around I’d probably stand here amidst
Waiting for a kiss on my cheek to assure me that I’m still your kid
I wrote this, I gotta dance with you still
I wrote this, I gotta dance with you still
So I’m waiting on a sign or a sound
Or maybe something else to make my mind 'bout how I feel
That's how I know it's real

[Musical Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Eh girl, you know exactly who you are
I collect our conversations like some credit cards
And I've been hoping I could get outta jail free
But there ain't a single chance
That we'll be building a community soon
Cause no one born is immune to a broken heart
They just get sick of being so heartless
Like that feeling when you're gone
From a group you were apart of
You recognize you so aren't them, yeah
I think about you so often
You're an afterthought to my whole conscience
And look inside you'll see the science of a conman
But the carcass of a soul artist
Concocting his next mishappening
In the presence of such an eloquent masterpiece
You, the one who made DaVinci change time ain't you?
The one who made Van go and lose his mind
Ain't you like, ancient?
Like from a divine source of prominence?
Your dominion lies in all of us
But you take it upon yourself
To be the aberrance of every situation
Best believe I'm au courant to your delineation
Baby, it took patience but I know you well
Though let me heal you, I can do that better
Cause I'm just tryna sit you down
And have you listen to my words
Before I even write a letter saying—

[Hook]
Girl, even when you in the sky
I can feel you by my side
The things I'd do just to get next to you
And even when I'm losing sight
You my soul and you my kite
Why did God go have me blessed with you?

[Verse 3]
Money on my mind, women on my tail
Don't even ask me what's ahead
You're the only one I pray is still in God's hands
I fall into the wrinkles of your promises
And curl up on your campus and electrons
Sweet chemistry, our filters have done been gone
Since you been gone, how you been doll?
Cause you know I wanna dance with you still
You know I wanna dance with you
If you were still around I’d probably stand here amidst
Waiting for a kiss on my lips
To help me know I’m still your—ugh, nevermind
I wrote this, I gotta dance with you still
I wrote this, I gotta dance with you still
So I’m waiting for a call or a text or a few
I get lost when I can’t have you, that’s how I know it’s real

[Hook]
Girl, even when you in the sky
I can feel you by my side
The things I'd do just to get next to you
And even when I'm losing sight
You my soul and you my kite
Why did God go have me blessed with you?
