Joel Baker - Baby Teeth lyrics
[Joel Baker - Baby Teeth lyrics]
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunrise
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine
The Light it always finds a way
Heights warn me of my climbs a stray
Still, I climb, still I yearn
Still I strive away
No brakes yet I pedal this race
All my heroes are dead or disgraced
Potential in my mind
Foreign coins in a drawer
I know they're worth something but
Unsure of what for
I'm hard to cancel like a free trial
But my hang ups about my self
And my art aren't afraid to redial, meanwhile
I've been breaking eggs for
Some sunny thoughts
When will I learn stillness harbours
All I hurry for
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
When the money talks and my
Greed is so uninformed
Lift the lid on my love
And there is hate beneath
All my dreams fell apart
But they were baby teeth
Yeah, there's bigger to come
And if I listen to some
Give me the wisdom to stay
Or the wisdom to run
See, I've been fast asleep
My mum spent her whole life planting trees
The shade of their leaves
She never sat beneath
That's the meaning of life
I've been left shipwrecked but now
I'm seeing it right
And what's climbing ladders
When you know that kindness matters
Yeah, my friends are my wealth
Now I know that my friends are my wealth
Been trying to be a better friend
To my friends and myself
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunrise
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine
Sometimes I feel older than people
That are my age
Man are talking 'bout the wave but
They're in the sunken place
I've been on many a stage
Showcasing all my ability
I'm better than them lyrically I
Guess I'm just not gimmicking
The truth though, so I'm still managing
And you know how the truth goes
Nas can't manage it, yeah
My nas doing OTs in other territories
I been OT in the booth doing up melodies
That's two for one to keep
It on a truthful one
The best rapper I know don't rap
He's got a move to run
I'm tryna be graceful and tasteful
And keep my karma clean
I don't wanna get shadeborough'd
Into a drama scene
I lie awake, watery eyed
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunlight
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine
You lead me you lead me
You lead me higher
I look above to know what you leave behind
I'll find my way, a path to sunrise
I'll go so fast, you'll chase me
'Cause my baby teeth were once mine
The Light it always finds a way
Heights warn me of my climbs a stray
Still, I climb, still I yearn
Still I strive away
No brakes yet I pedal this race
All my heroes are dead or disgraced
Potential in my mind
Foreign coins in a drawer
I know they're worth something but
Unsure of what for
I'm hard to cancel like a free trial

And my art aren't afraid to redial, meanwhile
