earl grey lyrics

matcha green tea
colored garment on me
sipping earl grey tea
with some honey
wake up in the morning
with no fucking routine
i don’t really care
about urgent things

take a walk
around the block
i’m the only brown nigga
walking around watching
leaves fall -
down
peace out , please bow
down
listen to all the birds chirp
we on hollingsworth
i’m so certain
i’m gone be the best on earth x2
course we’re hurting
course we’re hiding
behind these screens
we’re pixelizing
visualize a life
where we’re not
in this state of divide
open your eyes

let the fumes out
nigga now the rooms loud
feeling like ooo wow
we might have to zoom out
silver cloud of smoke ascend
fore you took a toll my friend
had to find my soul again
had to let you go again
real provoking real providing
but you had me
indecisive -
mama said it’s poison
i can’t ever avoid it
when’s the last time i dreamt?
shit, haven’t been the same man since
after that high school dance x2
more in heart than in head at the moment
mother earth
they forgot how important you are
take us into your arms
sorry for polluting

i miss her black toyota trick
remember that day right by the pond?
how’d you look that way in the sun
had to snap pics all day on god
holdup on jah, making my jaw break
xxx in broad day , make me feel like a child
brought back my childhood ways
tiki tiki tembo and junie b jones
i took a tumble from home
little me hides in my head
inside his pineal cone

little skinny me
feeling everything
i was always home
reading everything
this still how i be
there’s no amount
i need

matcha green tea
colored garment on me
sipping earl grey tea
with some honey
wake up in the morning
with no fucking routine
i don’t really care
about urgent things
