Days get longer as I get older. I take off one shoe, then the other. I’m always looking for something new, I’m always trying to find my groove. I step in the water, step in the mud. I’m waiting for something like flood, like flood. Like flood, like rain, like something other than this pain. I’ve been walking for so long and I am always finding this same song. I take off one shoe and then the other. Lay my feet down flat upon my mother, put my head back in the grass and look up. Tell me why this praying hasn’t found me any Holy Father. I’ve been waiting for something new. I’ve been walking for so long. I’ve been praying for something. Flood, flood. Rain come, rain come, wash me now. Flood come, flood come help me drown. All the, all the sound that is playing in my head. I just want something different, I just want something new. All of this trouble on me, all of it’s in my shoes. So I take off one foot then the other and I place them on the belly of my mother And I walk in the water and walk in the mud and I pray for the rain and pray for the flood. Flood, flood, rain, rain, wash me, wash me, wash me. Wash me, wash me, wash me, wash me, wash me. Rain come, rain come, wash me now. Rain come, rain come, wash me now. Rain come, rain come, wash me now.

I pray the whole thing crumbles I'm gonna overthrow the king. A billion witches on my altar give me step by step in dreams. They call the poet humble, I'm gonna be the queen. Two eyes aren't enough to see what I'm building, you gotta use three. They say the war is coming. I say it's said and done. They say our hands our tied, I say I used one, to untie the other. Freedom isn't won, it's choice in every moment, CHOOSE to claim some. They say the tide is turning, I say I part the seas. They say my words are dangerous, I say I speak FREE. They say the time is now. I say the time ours. They say that this is how it goes just play the game and do your chores. I say the writers of the game into my spells and open doors, to dimensions where they aren't the ones in charge. They say to worry bout elections, I say we flip the script My vote is that the people, when united, steer the ship. United states I say this system isn't working for us. I vow to be a leader when our leaders all ignore us. They say the power's in the 1%, I say the power's in our palms and we can handle it. I say the shift is in my bones and I'm demanding it. I say it loud 'cause I don't need to hear their voices anymore my grass is short and snakes are vanishing. I SAY whatever I want and you can too. I say we do what we know we can do.

Who made these hollow walls out of silk? Who made these hollow promises to myself? Will I ever find the way to climb beyond this guilt? Will I know the heart without the mind? What is felt. What is, what is, what are we now? Time has told us what her toll is, will we pay? Or should we turn around and go another way? What is this? What are we? What is felt? There is lead in my palms, it drips out. I want to hold your hands but not make love. I want to make love in our every touch. I will not love again without this much. Life is just to short to give it up. What are dreams? What is love? What is free? I am too much, so they say. Pity me none.

They say my family’s falling apart While I’m tryna’ build I’m tryna’ follow my excitement and navigating the guilt. And jealousy has beat compersion a battle of the wills. I know you tried to share the wine with me before it spilled. You took my holy body in your mouth and broke the bread. I took you wholey in my body and created kids. I never thought I’d see the day that we would split. Now it’s upon us, dreams laid out in coffins, grief for what we wanted, talks become the longest, time stretches to find us, we cannot rewind us, life becomes a movie, doubt tries to consume me, fear sets fire to me, nostalgia woos me. I don’t want to lose you, you don’t want to leave me. I think love is boundless you find love in boundaries. Ours are rearranging, damn I hate this pain thing. None of this is simple, king. I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep. And when our babies came and we were celebate for weeks, We would celebrate the break and gift each other sleep. And talk about the days that they would play together, stay together, always have each other make our way together, pray together strong or weak. But honesty is part of me like heart and bones and teeth. And when I saw a part of me reflected in another, you know I had to tell you ‘cause I couldn’t keep it under wraps and covers. Had to wonder, asked some questions many blunts and many blunders could’ve done it better I’m sure, less hurt. So I sit and write again instead of trying to speak, paper to pen feels safer to me. I tried to keep my love in writing but it leaked and now I’m getting used to the space between you and me. Expectations no longer what I thought they'd be. I feel like you landed hard and jumped off of me. A platform for what you needed to be. But you don't see it like I see it, you say you don't see like I see. You say you always knew I’d find a rapper and leave. You claim not be psychic but I swear you're more psychic than me. You claim to be my partner but you’re feelin’ more sidekick to me. You claim to be beside me but monogamy just isn’t for me. You tried to be behind it but you say that I'm killing your dreams. I understand why you’re choosing to leave. I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep. And now I’ve got this song inside me praising who I hope to be. And now I’ve got a king beside me who really believes that my heart is good enough to guide me, so I sing him to sleep. And write poetry with him lying under a tree, and talk about things I thought were bound to be in notebooks, I wrote hooks about the way his tongue took me to a place of reprieve. And when he told me that he loved me I could finally breathe and see the parts of me released that were bound to be free under the touch of a man’s hands who could finally see a woman in the flesh for who she really could be beyond bounds and boundaries. So we commit to new things and do things differently and redefine community, hip hop and loyalty. I know it’s all outside the box but it’s bound to be. I really found myself in modeling authenticity and honoring the inner-me so here it is all laid out, I'm on stage now and I'm saying farewell to the parts of me that I just can't keep. I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep, I know you’re something that I just can’t keep.

I don’t care, you can speak until you can’t. You can sing and you can dance. Paint the world in black but I’ll see color still. As convincing as you try to be I’m not buying what you’re selling me. I’ve got money baby but oh, it don’t grow on trees. No, it doesn’t grow on trees. It grows in bushes with sweet black berries and dark green leaves. Go ahead and try to tell me something different baby, I don’t mind I know where they grow and I can visit whenever I please. Sometimes I pack a lunch and picnic in their shade. Their branches always open up to shelter me when it rains. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care. You can speak until you can’t. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care. You can sing and you can dance, paint the world in black but I’ll see color still. As convincing as you try to be I’m not buying what you’re selling me. I’ve got money baby but oh, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It don’t grow on trees. No. It don’t grow on trees. I said oh no, no, oh no, no. I said oh no, no, oh no, no. I’ll tell you where it grows but even when you see it I bet you won’t believe that it could be so easy, well, baby it’s just easy, so very, very easy to me. That’s why I’ve got all this money, got bushes full of money, keep my pockets as full as I please. I’m telling you it’s easy baby. Your heart can lead you baby. Your passion is your map to all the money that you need. Just let it be easy baby. Let it be easy, let it be easy. It’ll be as easy as you’ll let it be. I’m telling you it’s easy baby, your heart can lead you baby. Passion is your map to all the money that you need. Just let it be easy, just let it be easy baby. And it’ll be as easy as you let it be baby, it’ll be as easy as you let it be.
