If God Had Legs

Lyrics

Say not, "I have found the truth" But rather, "I have found a truth" Say not, "I have found the path of the soul" Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path" For the soul walks upon all paths The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it roll like a reed The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals [Verse] In my case, self-harm brought peace It was written on my face, I got a calm you can't breach I reach for the stars, I'm a preacher of the bars My guard let down, not a saviour nor a martyr Navy ball like Vince Carter Honey dippin', split decisions, I ain't beggin' for your pardon Nigga, I'm an artist, I'm bеtter than when I started That's a givеn, met my limits when I nearly had departed Free the figure from the stone, like the arms that I was carvin' in Feelings I was harboring, festering, momma said a loss is not a deficit The depths of it, my heart is where the treasure sit I'ma play the back like Gary Neville did, said it is I got demons I ain't lettin' in, floatin' on the surface, have you ever seen a feather swim? Niggas been marked since the first day ever, man I ain't goin' back, or goin' deeper than I ever went, the levels that I never been Truth feels two-wheeled, like I was pedallin' Life is but a wheel, and death is just a genesis "Don't cry at my grave," is what my brother up in Heaven said I am not there, I didn't die, my foreverness Put me back together, will rise up out the depths again Sir Render is an empath, receiver of the messages Heaven-sent, dare to ask the giver if he ever bled [Chorus] If God had legs, like the trunks of the trees And the feet were the roots, as they sunk into beneath If my eyes couldn't see, and my lungs couldn't breathe If my heart couldn't beat, and I was freed from the grass of my grief I was gaspin' for air, with somethin' lasting to keep Grandma said I was his heir, another path to repeat Seen a spirit on the stairs, and understood what living means [Outro] You heart is to know when silence is secrets and the days But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge You were knowin' words, that which you have always known and thought You in touch with your fingers, the naked body of your dreams And it is well you should The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs risin', run, [?] into the sea And the treasure of the infinite depths will be revealed to your eyes But that there be no scales to where your unknown treasure And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff [?] line For self is a sea, boundless and measureless
