[Chorus: Arthur Russell]
Baby lion goes
Where the islands go
Baby lion goes
Where the islands go

Baby lion
Where the islands
Baby lion
Where the islands

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Atsen]
Uh, uh

Girl ya aura like summertime or a rainy day
One look in your eyes washing the pain away
But you is the reason i had to stay close with Mary Jane

Yea, yea, yea, uh

Once young and innocent that was black and white
Used to see in color now everything seems painted gray

We was cool before a n***a was making change
Started playing games, was hard to stay on a steady plane
Red wine and Hennessy in your system
Your conscience you had to kill him
He's dead and gone forget him

Best friends really just G.O.D and the dealer mane
Still pull up fresh covered in denim

(You) went from braced teeth to eyeliner and lipstick

Every time that we kiss you leave a lip print
I remember late nights talking about your interests

Talking with you day to day what a bliss yeah

Wishing on a star hoping my wishes get granted
I couldn't read the signs horoscopes or the planets
I said I was a star hoping they'd put me on Atlas

Or (i'd) disappear like the land of Atlantis

Walking through the city on a lonely night
Saw your pretty face through the heavy traffic and city lights

You heartless but lucky for you i'm missing mine
Had to teach you how to not fight with it if it's feeling right
I remember my love songs and summer poems

Back when what mattered, making the honor roll

We was kids this growing up made us cynical
And now i think about you and wonder where it all went wrong

Moving fast yeah i'm a 10 speed
Must admit the one you knew ain't the best me

Still 10/100 right now but if you need a good time
You can still just text me


[Chorus: Arthur Russell]
Baby lion
Where the islands
Baby lion goes
Where the islands

Baby lion
Where the islands
Baby lion goes
Where the islands go

[Atsen (in unison)]
Through the hours

Bathed in wine
Thinking 'bout you through the hours

Uh, uh

Bathed in wine
Thinking 'bout you through the hours

And i stay
Bathed in wine
Thinking 'bout you through the hours

Yea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Nah just let it ride out


[Instrumental]
