Continuing from the original “Lauder” track, we find a more experienced, more successful, and more introspective JID speaking about his internal struggles of the fame he has finally achieved. This is in contrast to the tracks' precursor where JID would rap about his dream of going big. Now that he’s...
[Intro: JID]
Uh, tryna find a way to like, not overstep
But, it's really just me, um
It's somethin', I gotta, whatever
Uh, look
[Verse 1: JID and Rayvn Lenae]
Pardon me, but a part of me looking for more
Givin' my heart, my art, my artery, what do you want? More
Minority boy black, lookin' for joy
They snatch it, lookin' back, part I paint it for
But I'm tapped, I lap tap water and tap dance
And tabernacles before the Lord, the pattern is null and void
Not gon' avoid the words that come with the voice
Inside of my head, I'm sick of the noise (Oh)
So be a bigger nigga, put your finger on the trigger
As you're lookin' at the mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
And let that bitch rip 'til your backbonе slip
And know the cracks don't give no black fuck 'bout y'all (Four, four)
Just your ass, your hips, your lips, my dick tip, my black balls
Dribblin' and dippin' em in your jaw
Scribblin' word rhymеs, the crowd givin' applause
But in my spirit, I feel it that they don't hear me at all (Ball)
Nigga, my nigga, look at the bigger picture, we flawed, okay, cool
You pickin' up figures, nigga, we proud, you paid dues
But now you gotta do what you can and can't abuse your power
Let's come up with a plan and we pursue and devour
But don't get shit fucked up
I be in the forefront with the .45, don't front
Back then, right now, last week, next month
Backseat, shotgun, don't know,got one
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Tell me, take a deep prayer, right
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
No matter what you say, no matter what you do, get high
This shit is tribal, (Tribal) I'll stand beside ya (Oh)
Hand me my, hand on the Bible
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm (Hey)
[Verse 2: JID with Rayvn Lenae and Both]
Yeah, pardon me but a part of me lookin' for more
Givin' my heart, my art, my artery, what do you want? More
Majority push packs, they unemployed
Part of your past straps, (Ooh-ooh, woah) the crack come in the stores, consume
Boarded windows, chosen boardrooms and bored negros (Ooh-ooh)
Nothin' to do but war wounds and more vigils
Candlelight moon, (Ayy, ayy) the more women, the more widows
Lookin' for food (Hey!) without a dude and four kiddos
But fuck it, I'm sick as fuck and I told you motherfuckers no recoverin'
Kickin' up and I'm coughin' and spittin' legitimate love
Like a drug, loaded in the snubs
Sniffin' for information on who the plug
On the black plight, black gloves, black night, black baby
Go and keep it wrapped tight, give a brother a hug and not a slug (That's right-)
If ever trouble should come, we never crumble
(That's why we been down for life)
[Bridge 1: JID and Rayvn Lenae]
Got a weird feeling that enemies on the way
Give a little energy, anything motivates
Come around, namaste, now you down, don't be afraid
Just keep that fear locked out
Come feel the love, feel the love right now (Feel it, oh)
Feel the love, come feel the love, feel the love right now
Rain down, come feel the love, feel the love right now
Feel the love, come feel the love, come feel the love right now (Feel the love)
Come feel– come feel the love, come feel the love (Gotta show 'em the love)
Come feel the love, come feel the love (Gotta feel– gotta, gotta, show, oh shit, right)
Gotta feel, gotta feel the love, gotta feel the love right now
[Bridge: Ravyn Lenae and JID]
Under the ocean dries to dust
Just rest assured the Sun will come
So close your eyes and ease your fears
Just let me whisper in your ear
Forever more, forever more
Ever more, forever more (Oh)
[Outro]
Hm, hm-hm
Hm-hm, hm
Let go, let it go
Hm, hm-hm
Hm-hm, hm (Oh, oh, oh, hey)
Hm, hm-hm
Hm-hm, hm (Hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, hey)
