Grown Up Fairy Tales

(album: Restoration Of An American Idol - 2017)

[Chance the Rapper:]
This and this about such and such and fairytale

Hail Mary pitch in the air
The fist on my pick was the myth from my hair
My 'fro shot a flair, pardon my stare
My deer in the headlights
Jesus can stare and I bet she just glares
Eyes, glazed as a doughnut
Fresh as a baby and raised like a grown-up
I tell fairy tales in your ear
Farewell to welfare and helping with healthcare
I'll take you to fairs, and win you a bear
And marry and grow up and split up, and split up my share
And sew up the seams and hold every door and pull every chair
Chivalry's dead, I went to the funeral, witnessed its murder and watched it in utero

[Jeremih and Chance the Rapper:]
I know when we try to hold it in
Every time when we try, we try and we try
We won't let it go, it just goes again
It just goes again

[Chance the Rapper:]
Catch and release
Playing fetch with a fish and a dog on a leash
Flesh up for lease, rent and repeat
Repent and then rinse off your hands in the sand of a beach
Blood in the bleach, hand in the cookie jar
Stuffing your teeth
Stuffing your mouth till there's nothing to eat
Plotting, he got your gut feeling the ease
Hold it in, just don't doubt
Don't give in, don't give out
Don't blow your kiss in the air
Fold your fist in a prayer
And attentively listen for Blue Fairies whisper to turn you from folk tale to faithful for years
I never will grow up
Fold you and hide you and tell you to hold up

[Jeremih and Chance the Rapper:]
I know when we try to hold, we try to hold it in
Every time when we try, we try and we try
We won't let it go, it just goes again
It just goes again

[Taylor Bennett:]
Smoke till we grown up
Till coffee and doughnuts
Newspapers, pill popping to grasp on the moments
And save our personas while doctors persuade you You're stronger till you think that you living longer
My ace in the hole
Watch how I wish that these 18 year old gigs was longer
Till I wish that I had took honors, and got to med school
So I could solve your problems
I'm further from heaven, I'm peeping your leverage
Been suggested by reverend
I shook out my blessings with pressure
A precious depression
Picasso was best with no sketches
My architects narcissist stretcher
Adonis my bias projection
A shame to rejection, in love and reflection
Perceptions for whom is anonymous
For descretions with all of his exes
They all off my checklist
I fucked them then hated they presence
They judge off a daily appearance
The children inherit from parents
You cannot buy beauty on clearance
This Rollie just shows that I hear it
I'm cold as a spirit
Looking for warmth is a sober endearment
Until I found you like I stole from existence
F a finder's fee, can't hold on the interest
We just wasting time to mention the senseless
Feet above the ground, we fall from long distance
Take secrets to the grave, but all want repentance
And looking at you, I could tell you feel different
Eyes glazed as a donut
Thinking 'bout high school and childhood and switching your moments
His life was a coma
And this a movie, they ain't in, they keep going
And this the trailer, boy, right after the show end
The preview of your previous favorite moments
Such a match that I just can't be a donor
Losing touch but I ain't lost in the moment
See, these the times that I just wish could keep going
Stanza so long, I could stand in the moment
Grinding so strong I can't fathom condolence
You used to hold me down and that was my lonesome
And now I call your phone from voicemail recordings
A preview of my previous favorite woman
I never will grow up
Hold you down, hug you back, tell your soul
Just stay performing

[Jeremih and Chance the Rapper:]
I know when we try to hold, we try to hold it in
Every time when we try, we try and we try
We won't let it go, it just goes again
It just goes again
