Born Again
03:55

I walk myself down the sand searching for a sign
But lo and behold
There on the beach did I see your footprints next to mine
But you just gave me back my key
And said, "I'll pray for you..."
Goddamn it
I don't want no cosmic solicitor
I'm just tryna fall in love
But some Blue Boy with the famous Dad already got to her
Now you're telling me that JHC took my baby away
Why you tryna be born again when you turned out so good the first time?
Why you tryna be heavenly when all I got is sin on my mind?
Yeah I'm tryna be good, saying my prayers
I turn around and nobody there
I'm tryna be saved, but you ain't saved for me
If my character is so bankrupt that I can't even get my spirit up
Then I better get myself in line
I met a priest and a rabbi and a monk at a bar but we took
A few too many shots of Cynar and I don't
Recall a goddamn thing they said to me
I got sage burning out on a quartz ashtray
And the shaman gave me Covid blowing smoke in my face
And if I could taste it, then the bitter irony
Is that the only time I felt a kind of reprieve
Is when I paid for a flight to that very same beach
Where you told me, "Baby, you ain't afterlife material."
Why you tryna be born again when you turned out so good the first time?
Why you tryna be heavenly when all I got is sin on my mind?
Yeah I'm tryna be good, saying my prayers
I turn around and nobody there
I'm tryna be saved, but you ain't saved for me
You ain't saved for me
God bless you

Satellite
04:06

Put yourself––next to me
I'm tryna feel you on my skin
Just like a memory
From a life I never lived
Baby, you got me high
Like a satellite
Revolve around you in the nighttime
And you drink me dry
Like a Greek wine
All night till the sunlight is in your eyes
I forget to breathe
Overwhelmed and unprepared
Just like a waking dream
I'm just happy that you're here
Baby, you got me high
Like a satellite
Revolve around you in the nighttime
And you drink me dry
Like a Greek wine
All night till the sunlight is in your eyes
What would I do if you were gone?
Oh don't talk like that, it feels so wrong
I'd be a memory of myself
Baby, you got me high
Like a satellite
Revolve around you in the nighttime
And you drink me dry
Like a Greek wine
All night till the sunlight is in your eyes

You Get What You Get

She slips in a new line
It's Christmas for cross-talk
The bar is a beehive
My outline is all chalk
"What's moving with you?"
"No hustle, no play."
We grind like a tooth
A virtuous decay
Big chick energy
Small man malady
She might as well sing
We're slipping further away
I got my own concoction to comfort me
One part guilt trip, two parts anxiety
Ain't no one look like their profile do
We don't come for facts now, baby
We come for truth and I say
Don't slip through the cracked up
Glass on your phone
Who's kissing your ass
Whenever you get home?
We all need a pass
Some slack in the rope
Live young and die fast
You never know
What were you here for?
Why do you want more?
Like Daddy done said,
You get what you get
Ain't nothing about you
So what are you gon' do?
Like Mamma found out,
You get what you get
You got to not talk dirty, baby
I hear the royalty got sensitive ears
Some dissent ain't crazy, now
But coordination: that's a sovereign fear, come on
Don't tell anyone
We are what we do
This game isn't fun
But that's the case of use
We smoke it all up
The bottle run through
We're screwed, but so what?
There's work to do...
What were you here for?
Why do you want more?
Like Daddy done said,
You get what you get
Ain't nothing about you
So what are you gon' do?
Like Mamma found out,
You get what you get
Like Daddy done said
You get what you get
Like Mamma found out
You get what you get

Metaverse

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there
Caught me chillin in the Metaverse
Where nobody mince no words, no
We eat em whole and wash em down
With something crisp and refreshing
So clean when I post my post
You like mine but I like yours most
My heart emojis on overload
Your kissy face–I already know
We did what we came to do
Make a paradise good and true
Where no man gon' say shit to me
Talking trash so we take it down
Kissing ass so we keep em round
Made an app that made us rich kid clowns
Look like rich kid clowns
So we buy that shit out
I feel like God must have
(Wetsuit on the back of a beautiful wave)
Space-grade sunblock on my face
Not even Mother Nature gon' touch me
We did what we came to do
Make a paradise shiny and new
Where no man gon' say shit
Not even the senators
Or congressmen, or women, or they/them
(We're inclusive)
Cus y'all are our pride and joy
Out blue-ribbon livestock
Gon' get our asses off the farm
Oh, baby, check it out
You're hungry
You're tired
You're sexually frustrated
(We got an app for that!)
Come on it's a brave new world, baby girl
In that little black box
All because
We did what we came to do
Make a paradise just for you
Where you don't have to take shit
But you can give so much shit
Now no one's gonna say shit
To daddy Zuck

Under The Influencer
04:50

From the moment you pass by me
At the rooftop pool party
Ooh girl, you drive me crazy
I don't know what you do for work
And I'm not tryna sound like a jerk, but
You could do much better, baby
Now I've seen me a pretty face
Most of them don't go no place
But that smile of yours got a set of legs (and you'll go far)
Let's talk tickets to a private beach
A lagoon that's just out of reach
Some underbutt and my DSLR
I, I'm just trying to be
Your lover man between the–
Between the screens
And do you ever feel like you're still dreaming, baby?
Well you should take your time, for all you know you may be
Oh I think I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
Baby hold on to this Moet
Oh you know it's what they came to see
Label out, chest high, and they on their knees
Gotta treat it like it's just a game
A little fortune, a little fame
But ain't no beach days with SPF on your skin
Oh I, I'm just trying to be
Your lover man between the–
Between the screens
And do you ever feel like you're still dreaming, baby?
Well you should take your time, for all you know you may be
Oh I think I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
Ain't heard from her in a little bit
She been shooting with that other kid
Tattoos on his face and his skinny arms
Yeah I heard she hit 100k
But I don't follow no more anyway
I got this new girl and we off to Playa del Carmen
Oh I, I'm just trying to be
Your lover man between the–
Between the screens
And do you ever feel like you're still dreaming, baby?
Well you should take your time, for all you know you may be
And do you ever feel like you're still dreaming, baby?
Well you should take your time
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in it now
You got me under the influencer and I'm in

Wicked

(Check–check one two)
Basking in the only sun
Yeah, we won the war
Got it all stretched over us
But wish that there was more
More to be done
More to be used
More to be won
More to consume, come on baby
Take it like it's all we got
For all we know it is.
Baking in the only sun
You'd think that we would learn
If Jericho was something won
Hiroshima was earned
Oh where could we stay
That wouldn't collapse
Under our weight
Under our grasp, come on baby
See them stars flow over us
I wonder how they burn...
Some say there's more to this than that
We got to trust the higher plan
Just put yourself in Papa's hands
You know you're wicked
We ran the superior race
We get to salt the earth to taste
Papa say Mamma got no shame
You know you're wicked
That's what you get now, Mamma
That's what you get for being soft
That's what you get now, Mamma
That's what you get now
We don't drink the water here
That shit isn't safe
But all the plastic's crystal clear
To thrive is to waste
Oh baby you know
We made our mark
Fire in the hole
Flash in the dark
And when we're gone
Whoever comes next
Will know we were strong
Know we were best
Wish there was more
More to deplete
Pulled from the core
Dragged from the sea
And when were gone
Whatever remains
Will know we were here
Remember our name

This Land
02:22
|

This land was made for you and me
They told Elijah McClain
As he lay in the street
Fear in his veins
Blood on his teeth
Nowhere to go but down
That's right, Elijah
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
Said in a Texas drawl
From a leather seat
Protesters swarming outside in their funny pink hats
Bawling their eyes out, yeah
Don't worry ladies
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
As a citadel
A sanctuary
From all the evils of the world
And we could run it down just like that
God's hand on our back
And you tell me, baby
Who this land was mad for

This Dream I Had
03:20
|

I had a dream
The sun was shining
All on your face
And on mine, too
In our favorite place
Something tall and frosty
On a bistro table
And our friends were all there
Catching light through the leaves
Being good to each other
On a warm summer breeze
It was beautiful, baby
This dream I had
You say, baby,
Where we going?
I say, baby,
It ain't worth knowing
When the sun turns his back on you
When you're caught in the light of the moon
It's still light, baby
And it can be ours, too
