taelor gray - ambiguous lyrics
[verse 1]:
yeah
whaddup hip-hop, my favorite subculture
where they smoke cush, get hooks from frank ocean
rock a raider’s starter and forever change oakland
every five years, revisit who the dopest
got a few of our kind that’s knocking
tryna get an audience with artists in the top ten
tryna get an audience that’s different from the norm
they finding that the ambience is strippers and a porsche
ain’t tryna raise the standard, ain’t tryna change the standard
nah, they making sure the truth stays the standard
now, musically we lessened the disparity
now we hoping that you hear our messages with clarity
tryna build real relationships on the surface
but best believe we looking for conversions
that don’t mean it ain’t genuine
we ain’t bait-and-switchin we just staying on mission
[hook]:
c’mon
it’s more to this heat
it’s a drought out here and they parched
yeah i gotta couple pails of water but it’s dark
so, who gon’ turn the lights on, who gon’ light the path?
if we stay in the shadows when they parched
they gon’ go thirsty, so have mercy
gotta get it while it’s day ’cause we gon’ need that sunshine
let’s tell em why we here, man, it’s time to make it clear
[verse 2]:
this the postmodern age of non-confrontation
p-ssive-aggressive eggsh-ll conversation
easily offended, we’d rather stay pc
rather being quiet than coming off preachy
wait, y’all remember paul’s words to timothy?
“preach and exhort,” man, it’s vital to the ministry
we misquote saint francis of -ssisi
and run the risk of christians being branded as some sissies
when historically it’s boldness that defines us
the holy spirit’s work gives us words when the time comes
to share, preach, teach, and declare
we all been equipped, man, there’s grace when we scared
we don’t really like the term holiness
seem like the new evangelism is to coexist
god forbid. this ain’t life from the test tube
it’s radical depravity and, man, we got the best news
[hook]:
c’mon
it’s more to this heat
it’s a drought out here and they parched
yeah i gotta couple pails of water but it’s dark
so, who gon’ turn the lights on, who gon’ light the path?
if we stay in the shadows when they parched
they gon’ go thirsty, so have mercy
gotta get it while it’s day ’cause we gon’ need that sunshine
let’s tell em why we here, man, it’s time to make it clear
[verse 3]:
he said, “it’s one god, many different paths.”
i said, “there’s only one god, many different drafts.”
he took out a cigarette, took a little drag
said that’s some real ish bro, i ain’t even mad
so i chilled, yeah i chilled i ain’t get up in his face
but i wondered if he caught i was tryna show some grace
like bro we not the same, dap me up and think it’s cool
my heart is broken for you, man, if you only know
i been tripping in my mind like, “have i really showed
the difference of my love, joy, peace, and self-control?”
ain’t tell him bout my church, man, we ain’t read no verses
just hope he saw a sinner, instead of a religious person
just tryna put a stone in his shoe
waking up his conscience to think about what’s true
versus what’s a lie, and clearly examine
just hope the seed planted turns back the famine
[hook]:
c’mon
it’s more to this heat
it’s a drought out here and they parched
yeah i gotta couple pails of water but it’s dark
so, who gon’ turn the lights on, who gon’ light the path?
if we stay in the shadows when they parched
they gon’ go thirsty, so have mercy
gotta get it while it’s day ’cause we gon’ need that sunshine
let’s tell em why we here, man, it’s time to make it clear
