[01:12.950]Mama keep them off me
[01:14.193]She says
[01:15.445]Everything gone be okay
[01:18.941]Whispers to me
[01:19.939]I know that it hurts
[01:21.448]Sometimes cuts could use more dirt, The songs they sing
[01:24.943]In the jump ropes
[01:25.698]They have heart
[01:29.404]Tread softly
[01:30.150]Please tread so softly

[01:32.657]Mama keep them off me
[01:33.897]She says
[01:38.854]Everything gone be okay
[01:39.096]Whispers to me
[01:40.094]I know that it hurts
[01:41.350]Sometimes cuts could use more dirt,The songs they sing
[01:44.845]In the jump ropes
[01:45.599]They have heart
[01:48.351]Have heart

[01:51.343]The one who taught it
[01:52.342]And still for her, I work for honor
[01:53.838]I walked along the water
[01:55.090]Revеaled the holes in my skin
[01:55.836]Just so thеse mother****ers know who I am
[01:57.844]And I’m a mother****ing human, rapping lucid on the harp
[02:00.340]Im prolly down to die for my art
[02:02.092]I definitely don’t know what I’m doing
[02:03.588]And I’m moving through the bullshit, by my prayers and angels
[02:06.086]Close to familiar
[02:07.084]But at best I’m a stranger
[02:08.340]But a seat at the table
[02:09.591]Eat without saying grace
[02:10.335]That’s prolly I’m not graceful
[02:11.835]Ending falling on face
[02:12.843]Trippin
[02:13.585]And niggas trippin’

[02:23.594]And really grow so much
[02:24.838]Dreaming bout being already there

[04:26.844]Show his son that there really might be magic in
[04:29.353]Dreaming,Dreaming of leaving
[04:30.851]Dreaming of flight
[04:31.596]Dreaming of building wings
[04:32.606]Jumping out ya window at night
[04:34.102]Dreaming of looking out
