Excavate |
| Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away |
| Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain |
| If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it |
| Would they judge me or love me for what I’ve written? |
| Tryna get closer to spirt that enters the body |
| It’s the vessel like I’m not in it |
| In fifty-something years, I won’t be here |
| There’ll be a kid with some headphones covering his ears |
| Walking 'round a hallway, dreaming of ideas |
| Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror |
| What you looking for? |
| What you headed towards? |
| What’s your name worth when they mention yours? |
| When you leave here, are you stepping forward? |
| Can you remember your intention when they question yours? |
| They’re gonna question yours, they’re gonna question yours |
| I’ve been at rock bottom and I’m headed North |
| If you don’t love yourself, what’s the respect for? |
| If you don’t love life, the check won’t correct yours |
| Excavate |
| Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away |
| Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain |
| And I found peace |
| And I found peace |
| And I found peace |
| I had this vision of my death |
| Surrounded by people I love and respect |
| And the baby blue Cadillac hearse |
| Pulling me 'round the block that I rep |
| The greatest fear that I’ve ever kept is dying with regrets |
| Like was I just alive for success |
| Or did I leave a better life for the rest? |
| My greatest achievement isn’t the dollars |
| My greatest achievement isn’t the followers |
| My greatest achievement isn’t the accolades |
| My greatest achievement is my daughter |
| Waking up in the morning, being a father |
| Watching the light kiss her eyelids |
| Hearing her sing along to Chance |
| And being like, «yeah, that’s my kid» |
| The light started to glow |
| And the saxophone funk called-train started to blow |
| Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones |
| Couple miles to go before I run out of road |
| Excavate |
| Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away |
| Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain |
| And I found peace |
| And I found peace |
| And I found peace |
| Hold me up into the light and study every part of me |
| I’m an open book, no, I don’t mind, but sometimes I’m hard to read |
| Just flesh and bone, I’m headed home |
| But this life is so hard to leave |
| But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody’s watching me? |
| Hold me up into the light and study every part of me |
| I’m an open book, no, I don’t mind, but sometimes I’m hard to read |
| Just flesh and bone, I’m headed home |
| But this life is so hard to leave |
| But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody’s watching me? |
