Lyrics Lauder Too – JID feat. Ravyn Lenae

Uh, tryna find a way to like
Not overstep
But it’s really just me, yo
It’s somethin’
I gotta, whatever

Uh, look
Pardon me but a part of me lookin’ for more
Givin’ my heart, my art, my artery, what do you want more
Minority boy black, lookin’ for joy
They snatch it, lookin’ back, part I paint it for
But I’m tapped, I lap tap water, and tap dance
And tabernacles before the Lord, the pattern is null and void
Not gonna void the words that come with the voice
Inside of my head, I’m sick of the noise

So be a bigger n**ga, put your finger on the trigger
As you’re lookin’ at the mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
And let that b**ch rip ’til your backbone flip
And know the cracks don’t give no black f**k ’bout y’all
Just your a*s, your hips, your lips, my deeck tip, my black balls
Dribblin’ and dippin’ em in your jaw
Scribblin’ word rhymes, the crowd givin’ applause
But in my spirit I feel it that they don’t hear me at all

N**ga, my n**ga, look at the bigger picture, we flawed, okay, cool
You pickin’ up figures, n**ga, we proud, you paid dues
But now you gotta do what you can and can’t abuse your power
Let’s come up with a plan and we pursue and devour
But don’t get s**t f**ked up
I be in the forefront with the .45, don’t front
Back then, right now, last week, next month
Backseat, shotgun, don’t run, got one

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm..
Tell me, ain’t a thing, baby
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm..
No matter what you say
No matter what you do, get high
This s**t is traveled, I’ll stand beside ya
Demons, head in the battle
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm..

Yeah, pardon me but a part of me lookin’ for more
Givin’ my heart, my art, my artery, what do you want more
Majority push packs, they unemployed
Part of your past straps, the crack come in the stores, consume
Boarded windows, chosen boardrooms and bored negr0s
Nothin’ to do but war wounds and more vigils
Candlelight moon, the more women, the more widows
Lookin’ for food without a dude and four kiddos

But f**k it, I’m sick as f**k and I told you motherf**kers no recoverin’
Kickin’ up and I’m coughin’ and spittin’ legitimate love
Like a druglord in the slums, lookin’ for information on who the plug
On the black pipe, black gloves, black night, black baby
Go and keep it wrapped tight, give a brother a hug and not a slug
If ever trouble should come, we never crumble
Got a weird feeling that enemies on the way

Give a little energy, anything motivates
Come around, namaste, now you down
Don’t be afraid, just keep that fear locked out
Come feel the love, feel the love right now
Feel the love, come feel the love, feel the love right now
Rain down, come feel the love, feel the love right now
Feel the love, come feel the love, come feel the love right now
Come feel the love, come feel the love
Come feel the love, come feel the love
Gotta feel, gotta feel the love, gotta feel the love right now

Until the ocean dries and dies
Just rest assured the Sun will come
So close your eyes and ease your fears
Just let me whisper in your ear
Forever more, forever more
Ever more, forever more

Hm-hm, hm..
Let go, let it go
Hm-hm, hm..
Oh, oh, oh, hey
Hm, hm-hm..
Hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, hey…
