The Body

Lyrics

He blessed you with arms, He blessed you with legs He blessed you with blessings for blessings they beg And you got them all they went straight to your head You never gave thanks the words stuck in your neck All that blood that you bled, that ran through your veins While the hands that you shake Of these randoms and fakes Who just rant and complain About how standards have changed That's what they think all us mans are the same If you look at my hands, you can't see my future They can't see potential and tell you who you are But still I.. put my faith in the stars Even when this world is tryna take me apart If the pain in my mind was scars on my skin That you could read like bars from my pen Would you show love? or would you be far from a friend? Or would you see me as a piece of art to defend It's the body, see it's the body They don't care about the body of work They just want a song it's what they prefer They don't care about the body It's the body See they don't care about the body of work They just want a song it's what they prefer Fathers, we need Fathers We need role models, more artists More of us encouraged to take chances Not chasing after money just follow what's in your heart then You won't need to take these pictures Baby girl they like 'em cos they want to get in your knickers You're more than just your body that you recently discovered How do you believe a boy who says he's different than the others? I don't know, maybe he is Or maybe you should focus on yourself and handle your biz Those likes are addictive, you try to resist it But this isn't how you had your life envisioned If the pain in your mind was scars on your skin That they could read like bars from your pen Would they show love? or would they be far from a friend? Or would they see you as a piece of art to defend It's the body They don't care about your mind they're just staring at your body It's the body See they don't care about your mind they're just staring at your body It's the body They just want to get a little piece of your body It's the body, it's the body Have you ever seen a body in a real life? Had it send shivers down your spine Had to stop yourself from crying Lying, telling everybody that you're fine You looked like you were sleeping When they wheeled you in I touched your face and it was so cold where my hands would feel your skin Your hands still rough cos you worked so hard Learnt that from you, never hurt no heart No pain in your face just peace Don't worry about Mum, Dad I've got this you can sleep 21 grams.. that's how much they say your soul weighs I wish you could've seen old age But I thank God that you didn't feel no pain In your body When the soul dies all you're left with is the body All you're left with is the body All you're left with is the body When the soul dies all you're left with is the body It's the body
