[Verse 1]
I been gone for some days, I been gone for some days
Can't be back till I'm back and I'm me, though
So I bang on my guitar, make her weep, uh
Couldn't bury, so let God be the leader
Bittersweet like I can or I can't, can't
This the dance, dance
Fuck, it's fuckin' wit my mental
Where'd I go, where's my light? Losing sight
What did God ever see?
Where'd they go, what's the sequel?
Riding on salat, oh
I'ma lose my mind
'Cause I, I was born with a heart
Holdin' seeds to be reaped as I lead
With the love that came before me
But my mind playing tricks
Is this it? Lose my shit
Reach the tip of the edge
And there I saw me
[Chorus]
Say, there might be two of us
In this life make one of us
They can't test or play with us
Never saw this reign for us, let go
Make it roar, no afraid of us
Open up your heart and play with us, let go
This the path you chose for us
You can never ever lose your light with us, let go
[Post-Chorus]
[?], so did he
[?], so did he
[?], so did he
[?], gotta be
[Verse 2]
Wake up, is this bliss or is this heavy?
I can't be no middle man, it's all or nothing, baby
More I try to balance it, the more I might go crazy
Guess I need to move through mud, but I'm hazy
Hesitant but really where the fuck it's gonna get me
Absolutely no clue, but I am ready
I'ma strip the old news off 'cause it's heavy
Middle finger or twos up from my belly
And if I aim to hit and miss, don't worry I'll be back, uh
Woke up in your spot with a, a bigger blacker swagga
Attitude on loving, but don't play my heart, be ready
Alewya cool, Alewya, keep it steady
And if I dared to love me deeper through all of this story
Everything in life won't really miss me if it's really for me
This is what I feel, I'm flying and falling
I feel alive, energized in my calling, no, no
[Chorus]
Say, there might be two of us
In this life make one of us
They can't test or play with us
Never saw this reign for us, let go
Make it roar, no afraid of us
Open up your heart and play with us, let go
This the path you chose for us
You can never ever lose your light with us, let go

The feeling of being on the precipice of something new but not there yet – it’s uncomfortable.
I’m freeing myself up, getting more confident in how lost I feel. With Panther In Mode, I was coming from a more poised space. The next phase is more wild. I won’t hold back anymore.
