'Cause I ain't no killer with the complexion of sinner
Tryna slide me my dinner, but you can't paint my face
You can't paint my face, no
Yeah, uh, look
Open up and swallow the pill
Fear-monger, sell it, sip it, slowly take it down with your meal
I watch it sway how you feel
The morning birds are singin' over the fields
But siren songs ain't got that kind of appeal
My soul is covered in steel
Touch the microphone and let it be peeled
They wear the culture like stones, but they ain't loving us still
Till it spill, a different shade of burgundy in thе hills
And I feel the subtle chains of how you look at me still, uh
How do you rеspond to life when days keep you up at night?
They press confessions from you if you in the wrong place, day or night
Rollin' with my brothers, tryna step without a shuck or jive
And I've got nothing less than my best, as long as I'm alive
And I got plenty minutes to stay
Why? 'Cause I'm breathin' (Why? 'Cause I'm breathin')
So, mama, I'll be gone for the day
I'll be back in the evening (Back in the evening)
'Cause everybody got secrets, everybody mislead them
Only she can calm me down when the world feel like it worth leavin'
When my future doesn't seem like it glow
Like sundresses and rave necklaces, ignite when they fold
What am I really tryna hold?
They placin' wages on my soul
My dad, he told me, "Be a good man in the end and it will show"
Tryna stay afloat, standin' on my ten toes proud
Nobody get involved
I seen a couple snakes slow down, now the grass is low
Movin' slow, I'm standin' braced up
I can't announce my next move until it's done because they fakin', fake love
I'm face up, above water, take a dip and wake up
Wesley Joe still make you shiver in the zone
And I ain't no killer
'Cause I ain't no killer with the complexion of sinner
Tryna slide me my dinner, but you can't paint my face
You can't paint my face, no
