nicholas craven - gyre (ft. billy woods) lyrics

[verse 1: billy woods]
‘save the whales’, ‘free biafra’ bumper sticker
fishtail into traffic, ‘death to israel’ led the masjid
raghib ismail training camp with the red jersey early, early
erry hit dirty
a benevolent god waved his hand, the cocaine was all soft
opiates was pure but you were the only ‘nah’
over a spread, disabled and barely alive, sprinkle me
everything bagel, strike anywheres light the night like a draco
forgotten at the bottom, transatlantic telegraph cable
three+way calls to your other side on accident
ancestors sound far away during broad day
but at night they right under your mattresses
upstate drownin’, up top we sailin’, waves pounding
maybe a n+gga dna remember how it sounded
every way it’s the same
you sailin’ into horizons, someone standing in the shade countin’ they change
it’s a d+mn shame, it’s a d+mn shame

[chorus: billy woods]
i quit, not for lack of effort
told my kid, “stop tryna play detective
get yourself clipped, i can’t respect it
sit down eat your breakfast, sit down eat your breakfast”
i quit, not for lack of effort
told my kid, “stop tryna play detective
get yourself clipped, i can’t respect it
sit down, eat your f+ckin’ breakfast”
[verse 2: billy woods]
i made him from odds and ends, broken things
bits and pieces, wiring, string
we were never quite friends (no)
not in that sense
that’s my n+gga though, a lotta time spent
soldering iron cut a lopsided grin
after school chain nets, lopsided rims
key around my neck, i let myself in
fed the creature from a tin
a black sullen thing, i kept the creature in a pen
dead of night, women weepin’, we was ready to be men
when i was weak, that’s who i sent
we got got, the more he went
that’s my man though since back back then
that’s my +++++ ‘til the end
couldn’t pause, where one finished, the other begin
the farce was that we were twins
in truth, we share one skin
when he was gone i crouched, raw bl++dy footprints
