Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No name for people to call small or colonize optimism
No name for inmate registries that they put me in prison
I sewed the answers in linen, phantom under the thread
Tandem riding in cities when **** scared of the feds
There's a ghost on my bike, said he laid with a bullet
Rewrote the scriptures for living in all the ways that he couldn't
Gave up the profit for pennies, no taste in mystery puddin'
When labels ask me to sign, say my name don't exist
So many names don't exist
Moved into Inglewood, and the trauma came with the rent
[Verse 2]
Only worldly possession I have is life
Only room that I died in was 25
What's an eye for an eye when **** won't love you back?
And medicine's overtaxed, no name look like you
No name for private corporations to send e-mails to
'Cause when we walk into Heaven, nobody's name gonna exist
Just boundless movement for joy, nakedness radiates
[Verse 3]
Through all the joy and all the pain
Don't forget from where you came
The avenue remembers you
Your song, your truth, your light is proof
And love is still here too
[Chorus]
It's your life, your life, your life
Your life, life, life, your life, your life
Yeah, don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
Your life, your life is your life, your life, your life, baby
Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Yeah
Ooh
Ooh
