Say The Word

Lyrics

[Intro] Say the word Say the word [Verse] My mama made it work, she fed her baby birds Papa fled and left the earth within his eighty-eighth Tectonic plates shifting, set aside my ways Livin' for the finer thangs, struck and cut a vein or nerve Say the word the play up on the field was overturned Smoke would cover up the pain, I saw my father burn Spliff after spliff in the crib, I would watch and learn I run the race, you move impatient tryna make it first I grew complacent, I was stationed whеre I caught that urge On the vеrge of breaking through, I'm tryna break these curses I only got myself to blame, it's me against that person that I was before My hung face, brittle as a flake I'm pushing buttons, tryna see it twirl Whispers in the dark, them teeth was sharp I got a lion heart, I'm tryna save the world Who a save me? Save me a seat Stray from feeling that I can't breathe Or I can't be thoroughly me, at thirteen My Egún in the sea, all in between the coasts from Cote d'Ivoire to Benin Unraveling at my seams, my heart was knotted beneath I don't want to be a burden, Todd said, "You are not to me" A single tear up in my eyes, my lotus flower blossoming I would smile like Siddartha Pull the sword up out the stone with ease, I'm Arthur And when I feel alone, l'm still a part of Large love, loving me was always in the cards, huh? [Chorus] Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned [Outro] Say the word, say the word Tryna save the world Just say the word
