LYRICS:
[chorus]
Serpents in her hair but that never worried me
She wants something tropical, we’re worst case the best take on asymmetry
Let’s chalk it up to prophecy, skip town and paint the next one burgundy
That shit is for the birds and bees, that shit is for the birds and bees
Now she picked me up in the city, we hit her crib, didn’t get past the kitchen
No kidding, the way she gets pissed at me she can get it, I’ll admit it
This bitch really thought I mattered when I really didn’t
She said, “I don’t need shit from you, just don’t be them or inconsistent,” cool
Yellow gold with the blush tones, hush up with the blunt smoke
We used to walk through Schenley more than friendly, never empty-handed
Damn that peach bananas baby, I’m just trying to eat right
My taste buds on your tan lines, by all means take your sweet time
[chorus]
Now she’s the color lavender, laidback with lavish taste
Divine don’t do her justice, a siren song to a castaway
And we both really have a knack for acting like we navigate
Sleeping alone is like sacrilege, I’m fine taking half the blame
And we ain’t gotta tango, we could just talk shit
I got you; share a bed like an address, like an island, like a coffin
Euphoria was in a third-story apartment
You could break my heart for the catharsis, it’s harmless, it’s all you
Truth; sedated in the late afternoon
The sum of finding love and nothing to do
That something something got me bugging and buzzing, cutting rugs and jumping through hoops
Can barely function, I want it, I only fuck with you
Soul-searching hip-hop from this Florida rapper, with lyrics that dig deep and take an unflinching look at life’s questions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 1, 2023
