Testi

The biggest lie
I ever swallowed
"Be nice
And they'll be nice back."
Nah
The world don't run on fair
It runs on need
They said kindness is a boomerang
Throw it
Watch it come home
Threw mine for twenty summers
Ain't a piece of it returned
Learned a favor ain't a bond
It's a loan with no terms
And they only call collect
When they got nowhere else to turn
I was the couch
The shoulder
The floor that you crashed on
The late night answer
When your worst night dragged on
Then the sun come up
And the softness that you cashed on
Turned into a stranger
With my number saved as "last resort."
See, people don't clock the giving
They clock what's available
A well that never says no
Gets drank till it ain't available
Raised me like a lamb
In a room full of appetite
Smilin' at the table
Never askin' why my plate so light
Nobody hands you flowers
For the bleedin' or the unstable
They just take a second cup
And say "he's so capable."
Say it slow
That's a leash
A saint with no borders
Is a buffet
Not a feast
Be kind
But keep your teeth
(be kind, keep your teeth)
Be soft
But not for free
(be soft, not for free)
They love you when they need
They leave you when they eat
So I'm warm with a door
And the door got a key
Bleedin' in front of wolves
That ain't peace
That's meat
The world don't kneel to pity
It kneel to belief
So give 'em all your fire
Just you keep the receipt
Be kind
Keep your muthafuckin' teeth
Watch how fast that "family"
Turn into "who is this?"
Soon as your yes turn to
"not this time, I'm busy."
That's the test
And they fail it in a millisecond
'cause they never loved the person
They just loved the discount
I gave till my no's
Came out shaped like apologies
Till my boundaries had footnotes
And my spine had policies
Called me selfish
The first time I ever picked me
Funny
Twenty years of yes
And that was never greed
So now I read the room
Before I open up the vein
'cause not everybody hungry
Gets to learn my name
Mercy from a wolf
Is a slower kind of hunger
You can pet him all you want
He still countin' on your blunder
So quit prayin' at the den
Get up
Walk out the woods
Your peace ain't the payment
That you owe for bein' good
But I ain't sayin' turn to stone
I seen where that road goes
Half these hard men out here
Just scared and old alone
I still show up
Still hold doors
Still forgive
Still give
I just stopped confusin' martyrdom
With bein' good at love
So give it from the overflow
Never from the well
'cause the kindest thing I ever did
Was learn to save myself
Not bitter
Just wide awake
Not cold
Just startin' to calibrate
Same heart
Just makin' more time for me
Same hands
Just not givin' things out for free
Kindness with a spine
Is still kindness
Kindness with a spine
Is still kindness
(say it again for whoever still needs it)
They told me
Be nice
And they'll be nice back
I'ma tell mine
Be good
And be hard to take from
Both
Same breath
That's the whole song
Be kind
Keep your muthafuckin' teeth
