Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who are you to tell me
I'm not warm enough for summertime?
I know that I can decide myself
But you don't know me like the sun
You've never seen my horizon
[Verse 2]
If I was everything I never was
Drugs got me bubbly, suddenly mumbling
Simile meant to be for you
Now the futile go fishing for moon over roof top
A new style for praying to everything I ever loved
[Verse 3]
My black boy outer space looking like a rain child
But my body move like the sun
Gon' run till I'm rainbow, we painted the fifty shades of grey
Stones across the lake
[Verse 4]
The house in the house, deceptive
Carnations are wittingly announced on Sunday for the holy of it
Solely covet me and you
For you and I
Are blissfully tethered to simple redeeming
When sadness gets worse and we don't know why
[Verse 5]
Our city is bleeding for prims and I don't protest
I just dance in my shadows
Hallowed be thy empty
When my name don't sing, shallow waters
Under bridges don't forget 'bout me
[Verse 6]
Who are you to love me and not call me by my name
I'm Sunny, I'm Sunny just like you No-name
[Verse 7]
Like the sun, like the sun
Who are you to tell me I can't love you
The way mothers love daughters?
The way Mary was closest to Joseph
And babies is close to the Father
You don't know me and love got a secret hand shake
And mad inside jokes
I could tell it's knock knock when my heart beatbox
Use our inside voice
[Verse 8]
Who are you to tell me
I don't want you the way flesh wants freedom?
The way greed loves need
The way kings need kingdoms
You don't know what I know
What I'm capable of
What I slaved for and traded in favors
And gave up for you, what I gave up for love
[Verse 9]
Who are you to tell me
I'm not warm enough for summertime?
I know that I can decide myself
But you don't know me like the sun
You've never seen my horizon
[Verse 10]
You like the flower that I won't let die
Right before your petals start to wilt
I choose to give you one last try
Fill your vase up with water
Refusin to neglect you
Like your father
So I promise that it won't run dry
[Verse 11]
Good intentions 'cause I wanna see us both fly
But I often put me first and I been wonderin' why
I know you probably think you're blessed to have a wonderful guy
And that's the truth but at the same time a wonderful lie
'Cause to me you're a dime and I'm still a nickel
And you know **** say that every coin got two sides
Well if you knew both minds not sure you'd like what you find
I made mistakes I want to tell you but can't make up my mind
[Verse 12]
As I'm writing this, I see a red balloon in the sky
And to me that's a sign tellin me that these lines
Were meant to be written
Repentin in the form of a rhyme
I know the Lord's a forgiver, hope he'll forgive me in time
[Verse 13]
Who are you to tell me
I'm not warm enough for summertime?
I know that I can decide myself
But you don't know me like the sun
You've never seen my horizon
