[Part 1: FRAGMENTS]

[Intro: bearface]

Ooh, ahh

Oh no, no, no

Nothing will matter

Nothing will matter

[Verse 1: Dom McLennon]

I watched a lot of niggas lie like it's the truth

I've been staying down to Earth, digging deeper by the roots

Have my conscious and my confidence, they down to make a truce

When they stop aiming at each other, that's the strongest I'ma shoot, look

I'm from the trenches, but I never get salutes

All these fragments of myself make up the human y'all dispute

Turned the memories to melodies, my life was like a loop

When you ballin' for a reason you see more than just the hoop, nigga

I'm out for dead presidents for every dead homie

They throwin' anchors on my boat but that shit can't hold me

Dedicate this shit to anyone who think they know me

Living off of how it sounds but never listened closely

Before you tell me who I am, you gon' have to show me

I went back to where I came from, I know where I'm going

[Verse 2: Matt Champion, Kevin Abstract & Both]

We grew apart but that's life, right? (Life)

Pick up my phone everyday but don't call, that's life, right? (Life)

You a fraud, I bet you can't even face me

Realest thing I ever did was stop being complacent

Time after time, I let 'em walk on me

So I walk on water, let they eyes deceive

I'm ashamed of the man in the mirror, can't see

The same thing everybody around me see

There's beauty in it baby, there's beauty in the failure

Beauty in Rock Bottom and way up to the hills there

I should have been dead for some of the doses I was takin'

Wakin' up, shakin', my mom hold me, she was patient

My flight plan went from straight down to space station

I can't take the pressure when the walls start to cave in

I need ya', I need ya' more than ever baby, right now

So, when I'm fallin', all I do is reach for the sky now

[Chorus: Jabari Manwa]

Feels good 'cause them boys back again

Bust it down, then we split the dividends

Me and my niggas make commisions over here

Came from rags to riches so it's back to business

Feels good 'cause we boys up in the air, yeah

Bust it down, then we split the dividends

Me and my niggas back for real, shit , this ain't fair

Came from rags to riches so it's back to business

[Verse 3: Merlyn Wood]

You want passion? You want my head man?

I don't know which one

It's like a white death, no vision

I'm like a pilgrim, y'all told me kill some

See full brother, okay, capicola

I'm from the forest, I'm still running brotha'

Die lit, die in the function

With the mic hot, still recordin'

Walk in my footsteps, walk on shattered glass

20 in, 2020's, we a tantrum

Before the virus, these rappers wear masks

Willy Willy said "I'm really real", we'll pass

Move the marina, internet, and the landline

BROCKHAMPTON my family and my band

You will never gonna get this hot, ever again

Put this cop, all they teach us, a gray house for weeks

Motherfuck the opps 'cause they'll never win

On the dead homies and the opps, goddamn

Either that or got crushed by they own reflection

Move to the hills, still livin' in depression

That's a false plan, I ain't never seen some friends, uh

Killin' black boys, still the same agenda

[Chorus: Jabari Manwa]

Feels good 'cause we boys up in the air, yeah

Bust it down, then we split the dividends

Me and my niggas back for real, shit, this ain't fair

Came from rags to riches so it's back to business

[Part 2: THE LIGHT]

[Intro: Ashlan Grey]

And no matter what, I'ma be here, standing on my two feet! And if they wanna label me a tragedy, then god damnit, I'ma be the most beautiful tragedy that they've ever fuckin' seen!

[Verse: Joba]

When I look at myself, I see a broken man

Remnants of my pops, put the Glock to his head

Nothing ever go as planned, couldn't make amends

Forcibly pretend I don't give a damn

At a loss, aimless, six feet deep

Suffocatin', can't face it

Can't change it, ain't make it

Master plans by the Maker, I see no savior

Morbid reflection and stainless steel, alcohol and pills

Deadly combinations left with nothin' else to feel

A floral haven, hope it was painless, I see you in the faces

Places and my making, reflections off a broken mirror

Fragments of my fear glarin' back like, "Who's there?"

I can't stand myself, beside myself, I see you there

I know you cared

Felt numb since September when I heard the news

What I'd do to speak one last time

Think I always will be haunted by the image of a bloody backdrop

Skull fragments in the ceilin', felt your presence in the room

Heard my mother squealin'

Master of disguises, ash to ash, dust to dust

Voids behind my eyelids, blacking out, bleeding out

Silence louder than a twisted tongue lying

As sick as our secrets

Shadow people and needles fading through a peephole

Bedtime stories from purgatory, I miss you

[Part 3: THE LIGHT PT. II]

[Intro: Joba]

The light

The light

[Chorus: Joba]

The light is worth the wait

I promise, wait

Why did you do it?

The light is worth the wait

I promise, wait

Screaming please don't do it

The light is worth the wait

I promise, wait

Why did you do it?

The light is worth the wait

I promise, wait

Screaming please don't do it

[Verse: Kevin Abstract]

Sick of these niggas givin' me false info

Like I ain't grow up on MTV, Boondocks and The Chappelle Show

Bitch I can handle the truth

That's how I entered the booth

Look at all these bruises I got

It gave me so much confidence

Back when I was makin' songs at my momma's crib

The candle's lit, the temperature rising

What type of man can find the right time to fly in

Especially when my cousin dyin'

Should've never sold my soul

Should've protected all my opinions

To see the world move without you feel like a daydream

Kool-aid stands, band-aids wrapped around your beautiful hands

Protect me from the city

Couldn't save me from the world back then

Had Jeezy on repeat in your whip

No peace in my streets

And these days, no license

Only take the Jeep if my boyfriend is drivin'

Plus he got the kinda skin that make the police like him

Ever since I was a kid, I always felt so frightened

My momma from the ghetto

Her vote go to any nigga that keep Jesus in the convo

Me and her just get on good terms

Thank God for them unexpected turns

Breaks her heart when she see my city burn

Thank God for teachin' me how to learn to have empathy even when it burns

But I hate that you got me in this box expecting me to see the light

See the light, see the light

All my niggas to the right, right, right

[Outro: Kevin Abstract]

You see the light, light, light, light

And all my niggas to the left, right

Left, right, left, right

You see the light, light, light, light, light, light
