"If God Had Legs" lyrics

Say not I have found the truth, but rather I have found a truth
Say not I have found the path of the soul, say
Rather I have met the soul walking upon my path
For the soul walks upon all paths
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals

In my case, self-harm brought peace
It was written on my face, I got a calm you can't breach
I reach for the stars, I'm a preacher of the bars
My guard let down, not a savior nor a martyr
Navy ball like Vince Carter
Honey dipping split decisions, I ain't begging for your pardon

Nigga, I'm an artist, I'm better than when I started
That's a given, met my limits when I nearly had departed
Free the figure from the stone like the arms that I was carving in
Feelings I was harboring, festering
Mama said a loss is not a deficit
The depths of it, my heart is where the treasure sit
I'ma play the back like Gary Neville did

Said it is
I got demons I ain't letting in
Floating on the surface, have you ever seen a feather swim?
Niggas been marked since the first day ever, man
I ain't going back or going deeper than I ever went
The levels that I never been
True feels, too real like I was pedaling
Life is but a will and death is just a genesis
Don't cry at my grave is what my brother up in Heaven said

I am not there, I didn't die, my foreverness
Put me back together, I will rise up out the depths again

Surrender as an empath, receiver of the messages
Heaven sent, dare to ask the giver if he ever bled
If God had legs like the trunks of the trees
And the feet were the roots as they sunk into beneath
If my eyes couldn't see and my lungs couldn't breathe
If my heart didn't beat and I was freed from the grasp of my grief
I was gasping for air or something lasting to keep
Grandma said I was his heir, another path to repeat
Seen his spirit on the stairs and understood what living means

Your heart should know in silence the
Secrets of the days and the nights
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams
And it is well you should
The hidden wellspring of your soul must
Needs rise and run murmuring to the sea

And the treasure of your infinite
Depths would be revealed to your eyes
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line
For self is a sea boundless and measureless
