su ha bu wa - clementine peels (there and back again) lyrics

[verse 1]
clementine peels. a tangerine moon
a b-tterfly regresses back into a cocoon
it’s the spirit back to tomb and a child into the womb
it’s the gaze of a lover through cigarette fumes
lucid dreams in the room of my late host
and as i walk this house, i can feel his ghost
moving, proving a zephyr of native air
nourishing the soul ‘cause i know that i made it there
in castles, constellations, and cathedrals
everywhere i look i see the faces of my people
i gotta find contentment by unlocking my cerebral
but until that day comes
i’ll keep on peeping through the keyhole
this life is lethal, this life is sacred
you only live once so you might as well break bread
i came in naked, cooing as the cradle rocks
then you turn around, and well… that’s the fatal shot
and i’ve got family with exit wounds
they rest in tombs while the rest of us progress and move
i see the residue of who i used to be
yeah, he thought he had immunity but now he sings a eulogy
paying homage to the psalm, resonating through the calm
a cold hand reaches out, sparking embers in my palm
and its all in the same dream
when i saw that gangrene, that sh-t changed me
and there was nothing that could chain me
when i saw that gangrene, that’s when i became free
and the more i thought about it
the world is a canvas and so my life became a painting

[verse 2]
i met a shark on the way back to america
he says he buys loans, finds people, then tears ‘em up
does what it takes, breaks limbs just to get his cut
‘cause as we know, enough’s never enough
i step into town, burning bridges from the get-go
pick up the rubble; build it up into my ghetto
you meditate, you self progress and
turn that ghetto to metropolis
gotta elevate my mind like a rocket ship
to the cosmos for cognitive reconnaissance
but the constant conflict and problem is
to connect to the body of the god in us
so embedded in my skin is a riddle and reminder
of the brittleness of being expressed in every fiber
‘cause, life is short dude, you gotta make moves
stand tall before it sweeps you off your ankles
feeling like myself straight down to the bone
even though i know that this is not my home
snow cracking at my heels as i’m walking in the fields
under a tangerine moon; i see clementine peels
