lyrics

[excuse me!

you betta stand up straight.

you have spine? eh?

you have spine?]


you must think you sit on my chest heavy

you must think my mother don’t protect me

you must think the fates don’t direct me

so come best me. born ready.


acquittal you reaching for, and not war:

scared to be wrested of all you are,

a well sheltered far

so transparent when you need more


so i pour in my pourers, believe my core

as i should do

do the check ups, give myself the work

i’d do for you

and it’s still love, hope you find those answers / come in tune

but it won’t come from me-

cause, please-


i’m not a priest

i’m not here to absolve you

please please,

i’m not a priest

i’m not here to here to absolve you

or make you feel like you’re the only good one (2x)

or make you feel


it might be sudden that i've marked my shores,

but a bitch got tired a long time ago (i been tired so long)

tired of being your rep, your card, your ace in hole,

and i can't be that friend no more -


cause i'm not grinning thru nothing

that would hurt any part of my person

or would hurt any part of my people

(sometimes you can't educate evil)

sometimes there's not much i can do

but just love up on my few

and divest where i could glue

(it's the spirit trying to see through)


so i pour into my pourers, believe my core

as i should do

do the check ups, give myself the work

i’d do for you

and it’s still love, hope you find those answers / come in tune

but it won’t come from me-

cause, please-


i’m not priest

i’m not here to absolve you

please,

i’m not a priest

i’m not here to here to absolve you

or make you feel like you’re the only good one (2x)

or make you feel


cause i'm not grinning thru nothing

that would hurt any part of my person

or would hurt any part of my people

(sometimes you can't educate evil)

sometimes there's not much i can do

but just love up on my few

watch me love up on my few (2x)



i've been tired so long ...
