"224" lyrics
Well, survival is for survival you know
In this time especially, going through so much struggle
You know when you struggle, you struggle to survive
So we always know the struggle
And survival is a reality for we have to survive
224 from day five, deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
Left amidst to learn some
Found a vice in these spliffs
Trust the flame, made me numb
Same advice had me blitzed
I can't go to where I hide
My sunken place, ain't have a lid
Just like the Pataki say
Shame will have you missing limbs
I can say I love myself, finally I love it here
I can say I love you too
Promise I don't live in fear no more
I got papa's dearest glow, feel his spirit close
Height of soul, my soul's below
Faces on a totem pole
Slow and steady grants you growth
Can't nobody hand you hope
Wish I had your hand to hold
With gratitude I dance alone
Gotta soothe my damaged soul
Papa knew I'd manage though
We was playing dominos, Bananagram and Scrabble
Long trips around the beaming sun
Whatever come was planned I know, I know
I know you miss me like I miss you
More to me than bones and tissue
Gotta bleed to make it visceral
Flee from out the physical
Demons out to get you, they gon' get you if you let 'em
Breathe and soar to heaven, ain't no way I could forget 'em
Excavation of my treasure, transportation serves me better
Got no plans to beat myself up, if I do, I use a feather
On a scale of weighing heart, sacred bond when we together
Yeah, I'm glad found the light 'cause in my darkness I was tethered
Made my way from wrong to right, live this life for my ancestors
I live this life for my ancestors
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
My pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
Fixed me
Live this life for my ancestors
Live this life for my ancestors
Yeah, yeah, Navy
In this time especially, going through so much struggle
You know when you struggle, you struggle to survive
So we always know the struggle
And survival is a reality for we have to survive
224 from day five, deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
Left amidst to learn some
Found a vice in these spliffs
Trust the flame, made me numb
Same advice had me blitzed
I can't go to where I hide
My sunken place, ain't have a lid
Just like the Pataki say
Shame will have you missing limbs
I can say I love myself, finally I love it here
I can say I love you too
Promise I don't live in fear no more
I got papa's dearest glow, feel his spirit close
Height of soul, my soul's below
Faces on a totem pole
Slow and steady grants you growth
Can't nobody hand you hope
Wish I had your hand to hold
With gratitude I dance alone
Gotta soothe my damaged soul

Tears of joy, my pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
My pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
224 from day five, Deathly scorn by age six
All alone when Sage cry
Tears of joy, my pain fixed
Fixed me
Live this life for my ancestors
Live this life for my ancestors
Yeah, yeah, Navy
