"Baron" lyrics

Down bad, I'm upright, the sunlight dance
I need one mic, just one life to live, my lovin' couldn't die
Transmuting one to nine, my tongue tied up in a knot, like a cherry stem
I forgot what I couldn't find

All along, the road twist-turn, took the words, just to burn it up
Courage in the cut, fume, and peak the luminance, there's nothing new
Papa knew me from the other round, where we was dealt the truth
About a lot of shit, that's when I fell in tomb
Serengeti views, open land, when Baba placed a shell in open hands
Left to right, left to right, right?

My whole life spanned, the whole wide world up in my hands
So God mends, it's Orpheus versus the Sirens
Me and Al, sixteen paths, it's not a live band, a'ight then, a'ight then
Keep quiet, bend the rules, I still admire them for what it is or what it isn't, guilt-ridden
Through my problems on the rhythm, wish it wasn't true, but, trust it is
Light jog, I gotta run to live
This is life, I've had enough of me, so let 'em hide
It's on my mind, all day, all day, I'm done with gettin' high
It's like the first time breathin', see it to believe it
'Cause I am what I believe in, breathe in, breathe out
Take a moment just to be again
Another round, I'm on the ropes, my hopes was in a pile
By the door, thoughts would often cry out
Mi amor, adiós, I'm tryna cope, I woke up on the floor

On the floor?
Yeah, on the floor

He stood first, he refused to speak
Most of the time, he sat with a bowed head, staring at the floor
Or he laid full-length upon his stomach
His face buried in the crook of an elbow
Just as he lay now, upon a cot, with a pale yellow sunshine of a February sky
Falling over bleakly upon him
