[Verse 1]

Got these past lives

In the back of my mind

Tryna ride a fine line

Between you

Hopin' I can bide time

Sittin' from the sidelines

Oh, my God, come on through

[Chorus]

Every night I'm new skin like a python

Spittin' image of my mom, and my daddy too

Runnin' for the pylon

I'm a tickin' time bomb, tryna get my shine on

Tryna get my shine on

It's nothin' new

[Verse 2]

Mama made me straight from scratch

Homemade, homegrown, homebody stay attached

Ayy, Gepetto, play your heavy metal and pull me back

Tryna chase your dreams, and change your pace

Leavin' Tennessee for New Orleans

Need a newer heat or a bluer flame

[Chorus]

Every night I'm new skin like a python

Spittin' image of my mom, and my daddy too

Runnin' for the pylon

I'm a tickin' time bomb, tryna get my shine on

Tryna get my shine on

It's nothin' new

[Outro]

Would you know my name?

The freckles on my face?

I'm my own descendants

Throwin' sand in the rain

Fourth of July parade

I'm in dependence
