youth // service - lily lyrics

[intro: tokyo rose]
greetings everybody, this is your number one enemy, your favourite playmate: orphan anne of radio tokyo. a little something [inaudible]
we’re ready again for a vicious -ssault on your morale
75 minutes of music and [inaudible] for our friends, i mean our enemies in the south pacific

[verse 1: ali]
grew up wishin’ that the racist fools would back up, dude
remap route, the seeds are planted in my black roots
tests tend to go through ‘em, makes it hard bloomin’
when you’re the only lily in a garden full of tulips
never had a comeback, zipper on my two lips
never could stand up, i’m timid and i’m clueless
had me feeling ghoulish, i ghosted on school
skipping cl-ss like lou, graduates by fluke
wasn’t out the closet back then it wasn’t cool
if they knew i liked dudes, denigration times two
ain’t no integration, kids raised on bigotry
ain’t much changed since they hung us on the n-gga tree

[verse 2: mayo staccato]
as a kid often lost in the world inside
you can take a long for granted when you feel alright
there’s food on the table and quiet at night
didn’t think that kids and parents would fight
it puts a rip in a naive mind
when you find out your family has rifts and has strife
couldn’t really mourn when my grandparents died
no memories of em, and now i know why
i don’t like these elephants
i don’t want these skeletons
i wish we could just be chill and not deal with the politics
this is not the worst i still wouldn’t wish it on my kids
scared that it’s a cycle and i’m caught in it
suburbanites pining for wilder times
while some hood kids prolly wish they grew up nice
count your coins, but look at both sides
don’t blind your eyes, some lilies bite

[verse 3: gavin andrew]
growin’ up and being sensitive
when everybody else was not attentive, tended to leave me offended
and i wouldn’t know this till i was older, it made me colder
to family cos they ain’t know this and now i’m struggling
i’m trynna be a rapper, and my status is a factor
not a banger, slanger, or a body hanger
never looking for no danger
from the city where they leave you in the weeds
i wear the leaves of a lily on my sleeve, peace

[hook: liam kelly]
four times i called you up tonight
maybe that ain’t right
why am i in love with this f-cked up girl?
ain’t no time for wastin’ my whole life
four times i called you up tonight
maybe that ain’t right
why am i in love with this f-cked up girl?
ain’t no time for wastin’ my whole life
ain’t no time for wastin’ my whole life
four times i called you up tonight
maybe that ain’t right
why am i in love with this f-cked up girl?
ain’t no time for wastin’ my whole life
