Lyrics

I make the abstract concrete
Donald Judd’s heir with copper and clay teeth
take heat ––can’t tiptoe these coals
We make leap, this type faith don’t run cheap
And my name? Folks be playing it plum sweet
But I’m Br’er Sole, the briar is my keep
If you listen close you're hearing a sun speak
If you listen close you're hearing the sun speak
Come clean? Can’t tell you how to make funds meet
This type debt deep crater lungs shrink
Tongue sweep my teeth for a word like a gun shriek
Taste like an end to my country
Looks like comfrey, indigo hue
I looked in the mirror like **** me too
I looked in the mirror like what you gon do
Might bear my arms and paint the world blue
We been blue like muddy and Taj Mahal
We been blue dream smoking the la la la
We been blue like erzulie and yemaya
We been blue
I defy the pantone
My intonation from crown to insole
I been thrown, been caught up in the midtones
When taking a stance and holding it 10 toes was more prudent
I’ve been Judas and Chango, I’ve been student
Been foolish, seen the world get more ghoulish
Thought to myself when shit gon' change?
Then started looking for somebody else to do it
Sometimes I blew it
Or blew through time, no loud pack
Thought pride was equivalent killing Nasdaq
Don’t be surprised when we ask you where the cash at
Don’t be surprised that you owe us more than that jack
My knife sharp all shuck no jive
And I put it on the rest of my life for me to prove it to me
And Imma do it for me
And Imma do it for me
And Imma do it for we
Been so long that we've been waiting, waiting for you
no white flags don't see them waving, surrender your blues
