[Verse]

She’s from the other side of town

First date, she wore a crown

Rebuked her birthplace and her sacred grounds

Feel like Despereaux in those cavernous halls

Hiding shaky frowns, ‘cause the gesture shows my mismatch radical thoughts

Red flag, glint of gold, and a hammer involved

No granite lawn, I called her name from a crack in the wall

Mancha de plátano reaches deep in the pores

Scrub it clean to the core for a chance at building a regal rapport

But she sees me as more

Any demeaning retort, this secret freedom fighter’s seeking a war

Our bloodlines empty into different oceans

One is ruby red, the other’s murky ochre

Split the globe into spirals meant to stay chipped and broken

Lift omens when our rivers flowing are interwoven

Her hand guides the strokes

Fuck if it isn’t noble

Coated with the medley of us

Fuck if it isn’t noble

[Chorus]

You could tell that I was different when we met

Cherished my mess as a blessing, and not a threat

Saw the right path, and turned left

Chasing endless love with me when you settled for less

You could tell that I was different when we met

Cherished my mess as a blessing, and not a threat

Saw the right path, and turned left

Chasing endless love with me when you settled for less
