[Verse 1: Navy Blue]

Yeah

Life made me a better person

Travel the road determined, had the nerve to burn the burdens, uh

I couldn't hold my tongue for certain, turned to gold

I spun my purpose 'round like merry-go, my weary soul is met in person

Perfect, steepness simmer down, my boiling blood is undeserving

I kept the slivers shroud but now my blessed home

It isn't what I found, it's how I found it all alone

Hundred fifty grand, a thousand sessions on the go, go

Goal, life is what you make it, so make it worth it

Make it past the year, I'll slow my racing soul, I'll show you purpose

Like I don't wanna disappear, my baby gon' wake me out my sleep, I hope

The times I cried and held my beard as if I couldn't hear a sound

I shriek or shout about the shit, I gotta grow with it, go with it

Beneath the streets, bones and shit

I have to speak about it, vain is not the culprit

On the train floating, high as hell, dozing

Might as well just close my eyes, the fear is there approaching

Self loather in them Navy loafers, slow poking

Iron sword in grave, mi nombre poderoso


[Verse 2: billy woods]

They say it doesn't get cold how it used to, but I'm colder and colder

Stripped trees, the ground red and golden, sky clear, crisp, clean

Sun out, but the moon's still there tracking over my shoulder

Breath frozen, James Lofton, words live in the air, books is coffins

She scorned him, saw it coming but I didn't care, unstoppable forces

We was young, we ran like horses

It's another painting hidden under the portrait

I won for every nigga who had to forfeit

Dumbed out, I wasn't smart enough to quit

Afternoons wander the catacombs, tomes line the rooms

Every room a tomb, every shelf hoarding doom

I kissed her in the stacks under the biblioteca

Just once

Tasted like sweet peppers and blunts, peppermint gum


[Outro: Sample from Pablo Neruda's "Sólo la muerte"]

Hay cementerios solos

Tumbas llenas de huesos sin sonido

El corazón pasando un túnel

Oscuro, oscuro, oscuro

Como un naufragio hacia adentro nos morimos

Como ahogarnos en el corazón

Como irnos cayendo desde la piel al alma
