Lyrics

[Intro]
Woo-hoo
[Verse 1]
Acting fancy, boy, please
Like you ain't come up in a sweat lodge begging for breeze
Fireworks searing the sky with new debris
Screaming like banshees, that's a pansy to me
Dreaming of men coming and unbuckling jeans
That was age six, thinking I would age out the shit
Mixed with a fix, had to nix
But them sticks and them stones that my dad had thrown minced me to bones
Huh, yeah, acting fancy, boy, quit
My medicine man said my loving ain't legit
My father said don't show your face around the sweat
Lost too many folks from the fear of breaking free
So I sat that standing soldier down and told him how it be
Listen close, I'm a lover but I fight against the choke
Of the noose that my brother knew until it took him whole
I don't know if he lived like me
But before he croaked, he came out and I didn't, so I'm honoring so
Listen close, I know you jotted down life inside the hole
Where the soft-skinned ripped open for men with rotted souls
It's a new day, and prison ain't the place where I'ma go
Your son is making life from the sentences and quotes
Listen close, you won't know me if you don't love me, still
I took the beatings like a champion and danced around the drills
All-State but I'm not all-straight, I get applause anyway
Lose a father if he martyrs me with hate
Listen close, don't let your son go like dusk
'Cause I told you who I was
My father said, son, why the long stankface?
Life is short, go embrace
[Bridge]
I'm just recording this for my, my family here so that they can remember this song
Um, hopefully my children learn it and keep it someday
For their children and their great grandchildren
It's bad when we lose these songs, but this song was sung by my A'te
Um, Robert and my mother, Delores, they used to sing this at the inipi
When they'd be filling that cannupa out to Hisle
So they're—, they're long gone now
Aho, my voice ain't very good but I'll try my best
[Chorus]
Softly spoken in my dreams
You hardly knew how much you mean to me
Ink from my tattoo was borrowed to write you some letters
Softly spoken in my dreams
You hardly knew how much you mean to me
Ink from my tattoo was borrowed to write you some letters
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Travel through the galaxies
Places that you gotta be
From the center of the sun
To edges of expanse
Till the moon fills again
Oh-oh-whoa, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Travel through the galaxies
Places that you gotta be
From the center of the sun
From the center of the sun
To edges of expanse
Edges of expanse
Till the moon fills again
Will you hold my hand?
[Chorus]
Travel through the galaxies
Places that you gotta be
From the center of the sun
To edges of expanse
Till the moon fills again
[Outro]
Softly spoken in my dreams
You hardly knew how much you mean
Ink from my tattoo was borrowed to write you
