Baby Teeth
I lie awake, watery eyed I look above to know what you leave behind I'll find my way, a path to sunrise I'll go so fast, you'll chase me 'Cause my baby teeth were once mine The Light it always finds a way Heights warn me of my climbs a stray Still, I climb, still I yearn, still I strive away No brakes yet I pedal this race All my heroes are dead or disgraced Potential in my mind, foreign coins in a drawer I know they're worth something but unsure of what for I'm hard to cancel like a free trial But my hang ups about my self And my art aren't afraid to redial, meanwhile I've been breaking eggs for some sunny thoughts When will I learn stillness harbours all I hurry for Give to Caesar what is Caesar's When the money talks and my greed is so uninformed Lift the lid on my love and there is hate beneath All my dreams fell apart, but they were baby teeth Yeah, there's bigger to come, and if I listen to some Give me the wisdom to stay or the wisdom to run See, I've been fast asleep My mum spent her whole life planting trees SongtexteThe shade of their leaves she never sat beneath That's the meaning of life I've been left shipwrecked but now I'm seeing it right And what's climbing ladders, when you know that kindness matters Yeah, my friends are my wealth Now I know that my friends are my wealth Been trying to be a better friend to my friends and myself I lie awake, watery eyed I look above to know what you leave behind I'll find my way, a path to sunrise I'll go so fast, you'll chase me 'Cause my baby teeth were once mine Sometimes I feel older than people that are my age Man are talking 'bout the wave but they're in the sunken place I've been on many a stage showcasing all my ability I'm better than them lyrically I guess I'm just not gimmicking The truth though, so I'm still managing And you know how the truth goes N***as can't manage it, yeah My n***as doing OTs in other territories I been OT in the booth doing up melodies That's two for one to keep it on a truthful one The best rapper I know don't rap; he's got a move to run I'm tryna be graceful and tasteful and keep my karma clean I don't wanna get shadeborough'd into a drama scene I lie awake, watery eyed I look above to know what you leave behind I'll find my way, a path to sunlight I'll go so fast, you'll chase me 'Cause my baby teeth were once mine You lead me You lead me You lead me higher Aus Songtexte Mania
