"24 Gospel" lyrics
(feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
[Navy Blue:]
All the moments spent cryin', I was meant to laugh
The past don't hurt as much as it did
I'm intact
Dishonorable syntax
Just tryna cope
I had a head full of smoke
And a stomach where the gin sat
Imagine if I didn't rap
I'm grateful for the Gift of Gab
Articulate the brake then let a wave crash
The place I put my pain at
The place I let it rain at
Where the fleetin' feelin's ain't facts
This a transmutation of a sane man
Flyin' through the outer-realm and prayin' for a safe landin'
My kinda grace-candies
And Sage managed
To make it out alive and live a life of great standards
My head spinin' like a breakdancer
With all my problems in question, I got the same answers
I meander
The path zig-zaggin' like a jack-o'-lantern
My innerlight relyin' on my candor
To make the expedition, gotta plan first
I had the premonitions, grippin', grimace 'til my hands hurt
All that petty banter
When I was busy kickin' cans
Young, black, gifted like the Panthers
Past life regressions at a glance
I speak the language of the heart
Those who seek it understand
I trust it, where I'm meant to be is where I am
Spirit led me through the ash and left impressions in the sand
[Earl Sweatshirt:]
Swift on my toes, stick with me
Pick up the tempo and pulse, the Ninja blender, spin 'em until they pulp
Unfiltered, the Britta broken
Bruh, bet it had a cup spillin'
His missus won't give up or go
Tough titty, the whole
It took a toll on 'em mental to never switch up, but still want different results
Sisyphus liftin' a load
It's a slippery slope
The boulder big and wide
Aloha- I mean goodbye and hello
Thin Lizzy, the boys back in town, the villagers know
Sin City, local, kiss the ground
I've been here before
Sittin' pretty, I'm the one who manufactured the storm
Advantage me, I broke the tie, we had to move on
Answer me please, I had his baba cast me the stone
The animal ain't screamin', we slashed 'em
My daddy went home
Snatched out of sleep
Shattered dreams, they crash in the mornin'
Gotta keep the brief, the liturgy, it had to be poems
Hm, hm, hm
[Robin Williams:]
We don't read and write poetry 'cause it's cute
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race
And the human race is filled with passion
And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits are necessary to sustain life, but poetry: beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for
All the moments spent cryin', I was meant to laugh
The past don't hurt as much as it did
I'm intact
Dishonorable syntax
Just tryna cope
I had a head full of smoke
And a stomach where the gin sat
Imagine if I didn't rap
I'm grateful for the Gift of Gab
Articulate the brake then let a wave crash
The place I put my pain at
The place I let it rain at
Where the fleetin' feelin's ain't facts
This a transmutation of a sane man
Flyin' through the outer-realm and prayin' for a safe landin'
My kinda grace-candies
