ANTHM - Aubade lyrics

Hey young world I’m soul searching for
My innocence, but in a sense
I guess I’m still a prince
Pardon me, while I’m drifting away
Spirit's are getting lifted today
Yeah, somewhere over the rainbow
My duties calling
I ain’t Julie Garland with the ruby
Slippers but I do be falling
For sweet lullabies of better
Days, sunrise, butterflies
See a baby gaze into it's mother’s eyes
Nothing eternal about the warmth
Of an inferno

Gasoline soaking in my thermal here’s
A kernel of truth
Through the flames I return
To my youth despite
The third-degree burns a nigga
Learned to recoup
I used to say sky’s the limit
Till I started diving in it
The solution by ninety-five percent
Of what I defended
Intended to hold the same beliefs
At the end of my road the boys turned to men
And tend to revolt
And I’ve been told that fortune favors
The bold but if she
Sees me in these streets she
Better pave them in gold

I try to be a good nigga
But fuck it I stood quicker
By dicking the cross I carried
Inside of a wood chipper
Sniffing the saw dust like lines
Of yayo sent to my brain like a halo bangbro
Marched to my rainbow used to get rallied
Had up had to switch my style up and gallop
Into the sunset it’s pleasing to my pallet
This is the fourth of nine lives
They say that I’m in jeopardy
Curiosity could be the death of me
Don’t pepper me with dreams of celebrity
That may never be just
Let my record speak no need
To project my peak leo the lion
King of the jungle bringing
A humble perspective from
All of the things I stumbled upon
Homeland security, the guns are withdrawn
Blast let misery stunting in the
Front of my lawn

Positive vibes so I’m depositing knives in my
Pocket nobody stopping all my positive vibes
Plus i got a chickity that gives
Me that affection I
Was flexing my weapon but for me protection
Ignore the clocks
My heart was Fort Knox forget the pass
Bust open the door and locks
Lovely chaos in my Pandora's box
