Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah
Mmm
I like that
Yeah
Yeah
Keep goin'
Yeah
I like that
Uh
[Chorus]
Through an obvious choice
The child born under sun, lift him up, we gon' hoist
When you yellin' at the sky, hide the crack in ya voice 'cause
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Please remember that it ain't what it seems
Stars and concrete used to map out my dreams
I could use blasphemy to do miraculous deeds when we
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
I love layin' with you here in the grass
Feels like it was just us in the world's that passed
When we prayed that one summer, really wasn't gon' last, but we
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Ground connect to me through the heartbeat
You can hear the call yellin', ringin' down the whole street
How me and all my **** celebrate all our feats, it go
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
[Refrain]
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Yeah, we outside, rejoice, rejoice
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Yeah, we outside, rejoice, rejoice
[Verse 1]
Yeah, till death do us in
Never ran, 'less against raised hand of my kin
Sittin' on the porch with man who can barely use limbs
Probably the only advice from **** I'm finna take in
Had to make a decision, either we all stay here
And we take what is given, or I escape alone
Thus making paradise prison, beloved, I'm sorry I left
The view wasn't giving me enough ammunition
Had to get out, might just break the seams
Hold it against me, it's summertime, everyone schemes
From the legends to the dope man, the poets and fiends
Hoping what I brought back is enough to redeem
Memories that made ya eyes cry when you sung
Found a way to describe my heartbeat and my lungs
Feel alive in the ocean, my face inhales sun
Grab your hand with no plan then we, yeah
[Chorus]
Through an obvious choice
The child born under sun, lift him up, we gon' hoist
When you yellin' at the sky, hide the crack in ya voice 'cause
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Please remember that it ain't what it seems
Stars and concrete used to map out my dreams
I could use blasphemy to do miraculous deeds when we
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
I love layin' with you here in the grass
Feels like it was just us in the world's that passed
When we prayed that one summer, really wasn't gon' last, but we
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
Ground connect to me through the heartbeat
You can hear the call yellin', ringin' down the whole street
How me and all my **** celebrate all our feats, it go
We outside, rejoice, rejoice
