[Hook 1]

Channel all the ones I'm feeling

Womb is heavy, I'm bleeding

TV channels misleading

Always exposing leaking

We get mad, we seething

Blood boiling, it's heating

Ancestors say look down

Light in the cracks, you’re leaking


[Hook 2]

Head down

Keep my head down

'Cause this life 'bout to push me to the edge now

To the edge now

It could've been so simple but it's dread now

Yeah, it's dread now

But light is in the cracks that's being wedged how

You gotta get down


[Verse 1]

I was lost and found my truth

This thing deeper than the coco hue

This grim reaper with the staff in his hand

Scaring those that never lost, never lose

And if you see what he's asking for

Then you will know another side of the truth

And this that rebirth we dying for

But it's not pretty, this is gritty, they aloof

'Cause they wanna keep their

Head down

Keep my head down

'Cause this life 'bout to push me to the edge now

But light is in the cracks that's being wedged how

You gotta get down


[Verse 2]

But are you seeing with ya soul, baby?

Channel all the ones I'm feeling

Womb is heavy, I'm bleeding

TV channels misleading

Always exposing, leaking

We get mad, we seething

Blood boiling, it's heating

Ancestors say look down

[Verse 3]

I been waiting for this moment, I can speak

I been waiting for this moment, I can breathe

I been waiting for the moment that you see (You're)

In the way of the love that moving through we

And ain't no chain gon' stop me ripping through this beat

It's in my veins, it's in my blood, that monthly bleed

The DNA is thicker, slicker than the demons

See, it's the Ethio-Egyptian inside of me

And all this dark you are just so ashamed to feel

You see it's backed up, stacked up in your ovaries

And if you're gonna love from this state, which you will

It's just the side of the truth that you had to see

'Cause this life 'bout to push you to the edge now

To the edge now

And it could've been so simple but its dread now

Yeah, it's dread now

But light is in the crack that's being wedged how

You gotta get down
