Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give, always give what you can
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
And dig, always dig a little deeper
Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper
[Verse 2]
Love, so you let love in
Baby, I am home in the wake of your skin
And it's crazy how we wear our ceremony
Always be open to your path and your journey
[Verse 3]
Yes, she cradles my loneliness
A home that I forage, nest
Universal test, feel the weight of my love
Put your hand on my chest and rest
[Verse 4]
In the cradle of my arms
The battle that we face is the place where our scars come from
And to pick up the gun
My love, we are destined to teach these ones to be brave
[Verse 5]
And never run away
Courage is the birthed from the womb on the first light of day
Yeah, the day you were born
You came out perfect
Never meant to be torn
[Verse 6]
In silence, never been so loud in the violence
Never been so proud of our people
When we're fightin' for a change
Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
[Verse 7]
We are animals
And we cannot be caged
Provoke us to fight
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
[Verse 8]
Wiser than the enemy, will ever be the minority
And authority, are you here to protect or arrest me?
I can't tolerate the hate and I'm losin' sleep
Can't breathe, 'cause they're chokin' out a war in me immorality, yeah
[Verse 9]
Love letters to God
I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, stars, in the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginnin', then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
[Verse 10]
Human souls, so we carve 'em into story Totem poles
'Cause we're always searching for a certain goal
A pattern of physics, a role
Don't believe all you're told and open
[Verse 11]
Open up your fist
A misconception, you can fight like this
In praise, with the power of prayer
If God's on our side, we can take the stairs
[Verse 12]
To the heavens, flippin' through my chapter seven
I live with the snakes in the great deception
No court, in this country for men
Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
[Verse 13]
And we're trippin' down a red dirt road
And we're askin', is this the way we should go?
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
We walk the earth, baby, yeah we got this
[Verse 14]
Focus, and it's redirected
Grateful, and I'm resurrected
Stubborn, but I know the way
You're the skin on my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
[Verse 15]
Take my hand, I won't lead you astray
We will not go gently in the darkest of days
Grandma's here, and she says, persevere
Take a walk in her moccs, taste the trail of tears
[Verse 16]
And our fears are the same as they ever were
Beers, numb the pain of a holocaust
Gears, always mobbin' in motion
Maybe, baby, be an island or an ocean
[Verse 17]
Your arches, how they bend and contract on my conscience
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
And my theory is I shine in your presence, a deliverance, yeah
[Verse 18]
Love letters to God
Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginnin', then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
