[Intro]
As good as the clay
As hard as a daisy, got stuck my foot in a paint
Yeah
[Verse]
I guess that I couldn't love you as good as the clay can
Push hard as a daisy, got stuck my foot in a paint can
I stumbled halfway, outlined my fate in the pavement
It wasn't my day, doc crunched the numbers like rain man
Can't erase the frames, feel like my memories forgot me
Where all the BDBs and bobos grandma and auntie
My way, cops sent some pop shots and some tear gas, got off scot-free
My top partner reappeared with Arc'teryx for the swap meet
Two days later in shawty baby daddy car, exchanged my angel wings for sharp teeth
All sweet, but he know I'll bang it at him, she call me
Evolving through the course of a day
Power only dwarfed by restraint
Crowdfunded the sores on my brain
Yeah, this is my shrine, this is my sacrifice, yeah
This is my cul-de-sac, I been back here twice
Spent weeks just lashing out, discovered when I write
These small addictions be draining the color out my life
I keep a blick, but can't escape the thought of what get left behind
The news got me the type of sick I get when mother and I fight
Can't take your seat at the table because the stool is up too high
I see when n***as get famous, the revolution in them die
But they gnaw my flesh, mispronounce my name
They deny my breath, yeah
Snap my bones in two, memorize my screams
Then memorize they steps, yeah
