[Verse 1: K21]
Early bird, eagle-eyes, rose from the aviary
One day you'll see me make them bleed
For now, it's city state verse me
Hate to see the same old scenery
Take me today, let's leave
Though it's a pasty dream
I'mma go out and make the team
I'mma make the murder proud, lift my wings away, I'm free
Like Marley mixed with Gandhi but [?] from the way I speak
Torturous pain I've seen, swarmed in the same old street
Stuck looking for answers, or maybe a soul who came to reap
Play for keeps, chasing shadows while the basement creaks
The spirit of an angel weeps, withering away this creep
The price that I'd k**, for a minute of the day to keep
Without blighted to pray on knees, saying [“maybe, Jeez”?]
An [apey?] beast with no chase to take amazing leaps
Spit it with no space to breathe, still manage to say the least
Blame the beats for the ill madness and rage I leave
Painting streams of letters together until I've came and been
You never know when you gotta go, and too late it seems
And it's roses arranged in wreathes, thrown in the place you sleep
Appreciate them what I get, mostly it's made for me
And if I don't there's no way I'll be
Hope is a saneless thing
[Hook: Joy Sparkes & *K21*]
I don't need to know about tomorrow
All these dreams I don't need to follow
Looking up, it's plain to see
These shining lights are blinding me
Lift my wings away, I'm free
I walk towards my caged reality
Each step I take away from choice
I take a chance to find my own voice
Never, never say never, never, never say never
*She never said never, never left me alone*
Nowadays I just rest on my own, set it in stone
Never, never say never, never, never say never*
*She never said never, never letting me go
This house certain that I share on my own, let it be known*
[Verse 2: K21]
Finding beauty while I peddle my hideous art
Obsidian-hearted, swum through a river of sharks
The city of Christ, never feeling alive
Somewhere between dying from the truth and living a lie
Unleashing the kid inside
Let him sprint ‘til he's tired
Ring the house, blew the mind-state and crimson the eyes
I'mma ride this sinking ship ‘till I die
Cradle the burial, mentality like “Dead ‘Em All!”
Mood swinging my wrecking ball
Spent a couple cents to talk, but then I made no sense at all
But putting sentiment in these sentences, never sent to fall
Climb, climb, getting tall, let the shoulders hold the weight
Do it ‘til my oldest day, never, never fold I stay
Playing with the cards I got, win it all to [bold escape?]
Waiting for that aftershock, windy is the path I'm on
Windy was the weather, my body discovered past the rocks
Call it game over when the heart is stop
[Hook: Joy Sparkes & *K21*]
I don't need to know about tomorrow
All these dreams I don't need to follow
Looking up, it's plain to see
These shining lights are blinding me
Lift my wings away, I'm free
I walk towards my caged reality
Each step I take away from choice
I take a chance to find my own voice
Never, never say never, never, never say never
*She never said never, never left me alone
Nowadays I just rest on my own, set it in stone*
Never, never say never, never, never say never
*She never said never, never letting me go
This house certain that I share own my own, let it be known*
