They Shot Ricky

(albüm: Secrets & Escapes - 2019)

Tell me all your dreams
Tell me you ain't got fears and hopes and schemes
Tell me you know this life is very rarely what it seems
Show me all the stars that light your sky
Which you can't seem to say I see inside

Nailed the Mona Lisa through a broken speaker
Euphoria frame me from my frozen fever
Ether, feel it bleeding through the sheets
Lose sleep, loose leaf, you use your move, read 'em and weep
Peep, my eyes closed, scribe the scroll and watch y'all life unfold
I strike a note, recite 'em and excite your silent soul
Multiply mi mami slide me some hummus
Kinda flame that make the baby grow gorgeous
Great performance, stay late, savor the rawness
Like the steaks are enormous
Hit notes to make the chords that string together the moments
Lord willing, can't avoid the feeling
That we'll get caught for stealing
I pray we make good on a smidgen of all that we've been given
Time that you and I been spending packed a lot of living
Rough draft, I was picked to rock the first round without revision
Can't allow them to cloud our vision
Nah that's not in our composition
Out of my mouth I spout this ism, listen
Teardrops in my eyelids, screen shots of a life lived
Speaking on through the silence
Please do not try to buy this, it's priceless
That's a lot of prices, either deny it or dive in
Either get loving or lying, either way you ain't surviving
Cross roads in a crisis, I still remember the night when
You let go of that code, rolled over in bed and said it just like this

Tell me all your dreams
Tell me you ain't got fears and hopes and schemes
Tell me you know this life is very rarely what it seems
Show me all the stars that light your sky
Which you can't seem to say I see inside
