Sanctuary (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Black Habits - 2020)

Listen, mmm

From the get, we was only kids, lil' motherfuckers
Run and flip, acrobatic shit, chill, motherfucker
Then we split, some banana shit, real motherfuckers
I still love you
This shit might rub you the wrong way
But when it hit, make a play of it, build, motherfucker
I do this shit to pave the way and shit and heal motherfuckers
Catch my drift, start a wave and shit, a skilled motherfucker
I still love you, 'cause all our sins are buried
You're my sanctuary

Look, look, homie, what it do?
What it like? What that vida be? Homie, keep it true
What insights? What new chemistry did struggle offer you?
What bright lights did your tunnel flash to make your future unabashedly
Fasten to the idea that we just here as builders?
We got mountains of strength from all the shit that nearly killed us
Been lost count of the days when 115 bus rides on Manchester led to encounters
Pages will read all about us
Saying, "These niggas are ridiculous," three brothers who breathe indica
One younger lil' Libra will get discovered while reading The Alchemist
How can this be the outcome?
I just wanted my family to outrun
All the predators headed in every direction
Ronald got sons repping every complexion

From the get, we was only kids, lil' motherfuckers
Run and flip, acrobatic shit, chill, motherfucker
Then we split, some banana shit, real motherfuckers
I still love you
This shit might rub you the wrong way
But when it hit, make a play of it and build, motherfucker
I do this shit to pave the way and shit and heal motherfuckers
Catch my drift, start a wave and shit, a skilled motherfucker
I still love you 'cause all our sins are buried
You're my sanctuary

Palms facing in when we knelt and confessed our sins, uh
When you got brothers, your brother's friends are your friends, hmm
My back, you cover if ever danger approached
Most teams ain't got a Frank Vogel, can't win the game with no coach
Pops went insane when we fought each other, exchange on the ropes
Caught wind of beef in the house and immediately turned the stove on
To cook the fat off that bastard
Leave the blood in the middle
True brotherhood is so rare, best instruct them cubs while they little
Bare knuckles dug in our ribs when our uncles felt we were brittle
Toughen up, lil' motherfucker, suck it up, you a killer in training
Not a killer of laymen
But an assassin of anything that keeps your passion from gaining
That's why I'm saying

From the get, we was only kids, lil' motherfuckers
Run and flip, acrobatic shit, chill, motherfucker
Then we split, some banana shit, real motherfuckers
I still love you
This shit might rub you the wrong way
But when it hit, make a play of it, build, motherfucker
I do this shit to pave the way and shit and heal motherfuckers
Catch my drift, start a wave and shit, a skilled motherfucker
I still love you 'cause all our sins are buried
('Cause all our sins are—)

Down in the ocean where the boats delivered the whole civilization
Knowing precipitation leads to green leaves, we're growing it like a baby
Sowing us many seeds and flowing like irrigation
Noise all around us, poised for innovation
Boys gon' be boys, but toys won't be they savior
Family business, struggling with addiction
Mugging any nigga tryna judge, do me a favor
Don't do me no favors, no, no, no, no, nigga
My brothers stay on our toes, we go get it
Our mother raised us with faith and tenacity
The audacity to read through these lyrics
And walk in forgiveness like Jesus did
Big heart and flaws when you see the kid
Swear when we down, won't believe this shit
We got stripes like Adidas, man

From the get, we was only kids, lil' motherfuckers
Run and flip, acrobatic shit, chill, motherfucker
Then we split, some banana shit, real motherfuckers
I still love you
This shit might rub you the wrong way
But on the clique, what a only kid feel, motherfucker?
I can't imagine life without three of you real motherfuckers
RonRon, Davion, and SiR might heal motherfuckers
And I love you, and all our sins are buried
You're my sanctuary
