"Residuum" lyrics

[Navy Blue:]
Can't take ownership
Further to fall, I know this cliff, I hope you notice me
'Cause I can't see myself, I'm bleedin' simultaneously
Erasin' thoughts, my racing heart can't lay my head to sleep
The way ahead, like Archie Shepp, the herd of countless sheep
The crown was stripped to pieces
The stake remains, not free to roam, I can't be on a leash
Mona Lisa eyes will follow me around a tomb, my mama womb the safest place for me
It ain't no goin' back, I've sewn the gash, and shown myself deceit
Don't you hold me back, the furthest front was once a bloody heap
My reddest glare, a hyperbolic choice is within reach
Just let me go, or keep me here, 'til suffer such a need
Have you ever dreamt awake, you can't recall the smallest things?
The calm, the subtle pond, the fallen dreams is where I sat
And took a tally of my schemes, what I crept up into
What I been through, let me through a qualm
I'll ascend and build my totem hella tall
If it's heaven, then I'm mendin' every flaw
While I'm livin', keep a distance from the ball
When in doubt, you build a wall and get it gone
Dear God, make me capable and calm
What'll face me won't break me, grant me problems I can solve

He felt there was too much difference between him and them
To allow for a common binding or a common life
Only when threatened with death could that happen
Only in fear and shame, with their backs against the wall, could that happen

[billy woods:]
I sit with the Drac' and listen to the rain
Watch her paint with her hair in two braids
Lamp light puddles about the place, huddled in corners like mourners at a wake
Shadows thrown in primordial cave, while I watch, the painting looks away
Tip ashes in my palm, I can't find the 'tray
Watch 'em paint like many, on God
Adorned with talisman and charms, canvas stretched across the wall
It's pourin' out like a heart with the hole

[E L U C I D:]
It's like
It's like a T-shirt with only one seam
I'm listenin' to Stevie sing "Happy Birthday"
It's not mines, though
So I played it loud enough, driving slow
Bending corners, hope it might be yours
I watch faces pass the bus stop, coming out of store
Roll the windows down, heat on, humming, children running
I throw up the peace sign to total strangers
Who told you I write with my left hand?
To no one in particular, 'cause it felt more free like that
I am, I be, with my Cs
Laughing at mall cops in vests that say "Heightened security"
I think they know we here
