"Salvation" lyrics
Trips to Paris
Living lavish, we never had a fear of being average
Less baggage, gave up control to make room for the magic
Then we grab it, I spill my guts, look up to see him clapping
Story tragic, I came up from the rolling hills in Brooklyn
Lost some homies, but when I'm shining, I can feel him looking
Still got a whole lot of life I'm trying to fill my book with
Still got the devil on my shoulder plotting all my goodness
Keep it pushing
That's why I'm trying to lead with love, love, love, love, love
And I ain't holding back
Left the dark frequency they on, and I ain't going back
The peace I'm trying to be is like a home inside a cul-de-sac
When neighbor's that gon' do a couple favors with no ropes attached, yeah
Let go and let God walk with my head high
Put up the tape traps, throw out the dead flies
My mama Jehovah witness, she say it's the end times
I say it's my best times
And I promise I don't want to have it all in this material world
Just give me salvation
Oh
I'm trying to see my beauty in the mirror
Do you feel me, old girl
Just give me salvation
Yeah
Local nobody turned avid world traveler
They know my name and say my words from Oakland to South Africa
I used to Match yo Energy, but now I only match the love
Appreciate the things you did for me that I was adding up
And when I reach the top, just know I'm dropping a ladder
Forget the Euro trip
I say we take a rocket to Saturn
And we can tune it to the source and tune out all of the chatter
Just give me something that's authentic
I don't need to be flattered
And I promise I don't want to have it all in this material world
Just give me salvation
Oh
I'm trying to see my beauty in the mirror
Do you feel me, old girl
Just give me salvation
Yeah
Every day, the bluebirds come to my door to say hello
And off they go
The hummingbirds pass by my window wild and free
And that's all right
That's all right
Living lavish, we never had a fear of being average
Less baggage, gave up control to make room for the magic
Then we grab it, I spill my guts, look up to see him clapping
Story tragic, I came up from the rolling hills in Brooklyn
Lost some homies, but when I'm shining, I can feel him looking
Still got a whole lot of life I'm trying to fill my book with
Still got the devil on my shoulder plotting all my goodness
Keep it pushing
That's why I'm trying to lead with love, love, love, love, love
And I ain't holding back
Left the dark frequency they on, and I ain't going back
The peace I'm trying to be is like a home inside a cul-de-sac
When neighbor's that gon' do a couple favors with no ropes attached, yeah
Let go and let God walk with my head high
Put up the tape traps, throw out the dead flies
My mama Jehovah witness, she say it's the end times
I say it's my best times
And I promise I don't want to have it all in this material world
Just give me salvation
Oh
I'm trying to see my beauty in the mirror
Do you feel me, old girl
Just give me salvation
Yeah
Local nobody turned avid world traveler
They know my name and say my words from Oakland to South Africa
I used to Match yo Energy, but now I only match the love
Appreciate the things you did for me that I was adding up
And when I reach the top, just know I'm dropping a ladder

And we can tune it to the source and tune out all of the chatter
Just give me something that's authentic
I don't need to be flattered
And I promise I don't want to have it all in this material world

And that's all right
That's all right
