Salt

[Verse 1: Connis]
No I’m not in Cinderella land
Could barely keep myself still it’s getting out of hand
Like I’m in New York with my people sniffing Ativan
Or I’m in Boston with Kadeem shoutout Mattapan
I tried to take it with a grain of salt
But all that ever did was make me hate it all
Fuck your contact turn it to a paper ball
Best believe I’ll hold it down when I’m taking off

[Chorus: Connis]
I’ll be your protection
I’ll be there from day 1
Make the bed when you’re gone
Deeper than connection
We attach with no strings
I know I missed your big show
But I’ll be at the next one
And I’ll be your connection

[Bridge 1: Connis] (x2)
Have you ever seen the real thing? Did it scare you?
Go ahead and tell me everything I double dare you
Neck stiff from the screen time in the meantime fuck with me
I guarantee you really learn a thing or two

[Verse 2: Connis]
Knees weak, arms heavy and my head hurts
Know I’ve been running through your mind all day long
Legs tired, mind wired feel my chest burst open
I’m just tryna get into your network hoping it don’t throw you off
Tryna show you off — Tony Touch but it’s only us
It feels better with you

[Chorus: Connis]
I’ll be your protection
I’ll be there from day 1
Make the bed when you’re gone
Deeper than connection
We attach with no strings
I know I missed your big show
But I’ll be at the next one
And I’ll be your connection

[Bridge 2: Connis]
I pull right up to my dawgs crib with music I could show him
Then I pull up to my mom’s crib and give her a shoulder to cry on
It’s like older I get the more people rely on
In this world I’m a speck, in my city an icon
I see potholes and massholes and Dunkin’ Donuts
All that I know is that there’s more to life than this shit
I just hope that I could spread a little light ‘for I dip

[Verse 3: Kadeem]
This for those who gained from a missed connection
Where disappointment arises is also the chance for a lesson
Eyes fixed on where you destined
But look down, that first step the biggest investment
Think about my 10,000 hours and can’t remember my first
But my mother remind, it all started at birth
You ain’t a Godless design there’s been stars where you lurk
So don’t you pay yourself mind
Cause with Earth as my witness I been my biggest heckler
Misplaced my own fate but was never lost to the shepherd
Universal laws protected the clause in my texture
Even made promises to myself I ain’t notice for better
Sense of judgement whether cents abundant
Or I’m sleeping in tents with hundreds
I’m destined for something
Yeah, I’m destined for something
