Lyrics
Standing in the shadow of if
My own breaking news
Rush the press, inevitable correction
Black Jesus, hate and bill collectors, I do the same
Lucy shit diamonds in alt timelines
Zero gravity, skywriting my star sign
We family, let's skip the formalities
Auto-eject, multitudes within
I can hear but can't see like ocean tide
Oftentime when the moon turns stingy
I'm barefoot in the sand humming centipede
Stepping over dead fish in a bucket hat
Salt and sulfur, I can't tell what the wind blows
I'm on that black leisure for the increase
Pick a coordinate, show me where localized perceived violence
Didn't come with receipts
White sheets in the shadow of if
Only if
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
Too many flags
One too many flags
Seeing all those flags outside the city made me nervous
Physically violent reminders I've been cursed to concrete
The devil is a lie, we are the ecology
In the twinkling of an eye, reflecting everything inside of me
New no divide, niggas huddled round the corner
Niggas huddled round the fire
Niggas tip-toeing in the water
Living water, choose your messiah
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
Body talking, nobody listening
A moment to pause never goes on sale
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be, gotta be
(I don't wanna be)
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be, gotta be
(I don't gotta be)
I was twenty years behind in the head
Phases change but how it felt and how it feels doesn't
Real lover, black steel in the hour of submission
In search of a place to land, taking my chance without a reminder
Purple rain, wild greens unkempt
I'm in search of a place where our blood don't precede us
Lined up by hate, born from fear
Ain't enough stepping careful in the world, it bears repeating
Untouched, I keep my eyes peeled
I keep my eyes peeled
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
In the shadow of if
Taking my chance without a reminder
