World Ablaze (feat. James Fauntleroy)

Stay close to me, so close to me

That's how it's supposed to be

Long as you've been knowing me

You been holding me down

I'm sure as fuck, so fuck, hopefully

I watch over you, you watch over me

And that's how it's supposed to be

And we are alright

Now, when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

'Cause when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Might not make it this time

Is what not to say at this time

Sometimes the truth ain't what you need to hear

And you tell 'em they alright

Know when they need a cure

I'ma believe in paradise if I don't see the sand

Only palm trees, I gots this weed off in my hand

Around the same time, mom said

Sean, you need a plan

Ms. Freeman's son 'cross the street got shot

Now she need a hand

Traumatized, gotta watch his mama cry

Now I gotta look up, up in his mama's eyes

And gotta tell his mama lies

Like, it's gonna be alright

Knowing it ain't alright

Now I know there's so much pain

And there's probably more on the way

Now, when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

'Cause when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

You know I love your mama like she mine

Whether we together or we tryin'

We fuck three times, we smoke tree time

We climbed, I left, came back in town, it wasn't in time

The cancer then came, it just hit its prime

It came from the breast, it spread to the spine

It might make her blind, she stare at the blinds

This can't be my mom, got me thinkin'

What's a girl to do, a girl to do when her world's a pool?

And she comes up for air and its walls of flames

And all the stress is all propane, she's burned again

Hoping I could make her smile

Take cancer and David Blaine it out

Poof, disappear, God, make an out

Now, when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

'Cause when the world's ablaze

The stars will fall, the lights go off

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Stay close to me, so close to me

That's how it's supposed to be

Long as you've been knowing me

You been holding me down

I'm sure as fuck, so fuck, hopefully

I watch over you, you watch over me

And that's how it's supposed to be

And we are alright, right

Stay close to me, so close to me

That's how it's supposed to be

Long as you've been knowing me

You been holding me down

I'm sure as fuck, so fuck, hopefully

I watch over you, you watch over me

And that's how it's supposed to be

And we are alright, right

Stay close to me, so close to me

That's how it's supposed to be

Long as you've been knowing me

You been holding me down

I'm sure as fuck, so fuck, hopefully

I watch over you, you watch over me

And that's how it's supposed to be

And we are alright, right
