Amir Royale - The Tale lyrics

Who would have ever thought
I'd jump from you reading
Velvetine Rabbit to me
To laughing at things that aren't even funny
I'm in the habit of being the
Loudest one in the room
Who's proudest of it?
Quiet covet 'tween you and
Me about everything
But barely seen you 'round anyways
I ran away from home the other day
Like a renegade astray from his soul
Another mold on the potter's clay, what a day
Charcoal in the ashtray
Hope it don't start a fire
Hope I don't choke from their smoke
Only hang 'round the dope wise
Never bang with the no minds
I hope you heard me pray about changing lives
And changing ways
I hope you and God have heard it clear


And heard it straight
Mommy I need them to see me shine crystal
I ain't a fake, I ain't conceded
I just speak my mind simple
I hate how so many look down upon me
But don't decide to say it to my face
They got me pent up in a cage

But Dad would always say I got it
(You got it)
And you would always say it's true
So I would listen to you tell The Tale
That I am trying to now tell you

It's alright, it's all fine
It's alright, it's okay
Alright? All fine, alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
It's okay, just go on, you'll be fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
I feel you

Cause, I just wanna hopefully
Talk to you mostly
I just wanna hold you, closely, I feel you

I wanna fly out text you
Say I'm racing for a tryout
Just got your cellular
And some music for us to try out only
(like always) when communication dies
You got my full attention
Every time that I pry
I swear there's good intentions behind it
(damn) i swear I'm reminded I'm blinded
By the fact that I want to
Take you out for the ride
When I find you, wanna protect you
You got your own back
You got Erick I know that
But you don't ever show that
Strong as a buck but weakest
In the league of hearts in the world
Can't leak our hearts when we're hurt
But hard as rock when attacked
'Tryna get my school to
Recognize a new tradition
The combination of talents
The triple threats the new editions
You always knew I was ambitious
Well this is me tryna fulfill a vision
Flose up the distance
Feels like you hate my persistence
I know you fear it
Been on the look for studios
To fire up some tracks
But who in hell but me
Can keep it crisp Cook?

I always say that you the greatest
I still don't feel you think it's true
But 'til we meet again you'll have The Tale
I finally learned surrounds you too

It's alright, it's all fine
It's alright, it's okay
Alright? All fine, alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
It's okay, just go on, you'll be fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
I feel you

Cause, I just wanna hopefully
Talk to you mostly
I just wanna hold you, closely, I feel you

Cause, I just wanna hopefully
Talk to you mostly
I just wanna hold you, closely, I feel you
And even though you're not here
I can still hear you, I can still feel you

You look at me and you
See what? Young, black, funny
Successful? What do I have
Left? Broken relationships
With family broken relationships
With friends a
Few years ago I had a conversation
With my best friend's sister she
Saw potential in me before I
Even saw potential in
Myself she said, "When this thing blows up
You know you can never go back
To being normal again
Right?" I looked at her and I said
"I don't care i want it
All" And I'm getting it
