The Pedestal
[Chorus]
Through your songs you my hero there he is
Through the throng of the people there he is
Put my hands out to reach ya there he is
But I know I can’t reach there where he is hey
Dream he is me
But everyday I wake up and he isn't
Whys that uh
Who's the man in the mirror there he is
But i don't think I'm clear bout where he is
[Verse 1]
Lookin at you like a mona lis
All you do is a work of art
House of tunes could you loan a lease
Tryna move in so I'm working hard
But you don't see me birdbox tings
So I come through with the flows its calm
Like I'm rowing a boat on a stream and my life is a dream and it seems as if I can't wake
Told you man I'd make it and I put that on my madre
Cooking ideas so I'm staying in the kitchen feeling half baked
Got me praying amen and our padre
But within your position you can't listen cos the stage is a pedestal
Where you could get your head removed
By planes but clouds were meant for you
To sing the texts god sent to you
Do You think I could stand out from the groupies
Look I'll stretch my hands out will you choose me
Do this
And I'll do what you say
I just wanna get that knowledge will you give me the fruit ey
[Chorus]
Through your songs you my hero there he is
Through the throng of the people there he is
Put my hands out to reach ya there he is
But I know I can't reach there where he is hey
Dream he is me
But everyday I wake up and he isn't
Whys that uh
Who's the man in the mirror there he is
But I don't think I'm clear bout where he is
[Verse 2]
Yeah you told me I could get to the top tryna get me a spot in that promised land
Yeah you told me I could get to the top tryna get me a spot in that promised land
When they say you should be great from the jump
Then they say jump
You say how high
And they raise bars
To raise bars they can't keep up and change guards
Use up artists who aren't who they made up
Themselves to be thus self defeats the self we see
See they sell selves retail industry is selfish
Makes me wanna be a shellfish
Crawl back in myself or leave myself a hollow shell its
Too much to dwell on
All I can do is make songs
I ain't got nothing for you
Except notes you can take what you want
Just leave me alone
[Chorus]
But I know I can't reach there where he is hey
Dream he is me
But everyday I wake up and he isn't
Whys that uh
Who's the man in the mirror there he is
But I don't think I'm clear bout where he is
[Outro]

Hey hey

Cos I’m not really sure bout who I am no no
Where he at tho
Where he at tho
Hey hey
Where at though
Cos I’m not really sure bout who I am no no
