Live and Learn (Explicit)

Live and Learn (Explicit) - Salomon Faye/J. Cole/Eryn Allen Kane

Disappear ghost

My mind spills to thrills and fills the void kills the noise

You know the game build destroy Tetris

Before you turn the phone off but then the phone dies

There's no break for a black guy

Blacklisted before they even wrote s**t

Mad gifted before we even spoke the word

In the beginnin' it was just the word

And the word was with God and the word is Allah

Voilà but it ain't magic n***as die but it ain't tragic

It's more natural new birth

What if heaven is the new Earth

What if God is a bluebird that can't fly because

It knows itself as the sky

I used to see rain as the proof

I can cry with no fear

But now I gotta hide my own tears

So I don't seem weak

I don't even want to see me

'Cause I don't know that n***a

I don't owe that n***a to tell the truth

There's somethin' you could show that n***a

That's why I love you because I know who you are

That's why I look at you like I seen you before

I recognize you from a hole in the wall ooh ooh ooh

That I punched in the wall 'cause I'm so pissed off

I meditate and try to calm myself

I know anger only harm myself

False alarm myself so many books I read to warn myself

I want more myself look in the mirror and I scorn myself

Who am I and am I really even here

I think it's time for me to disappear

'Cause I've been livin' way too long

In the right or the wrong

I'm as small as a fly with the s**t that I'm on

So get goin' get lost I don't wanna be found

You won't see me if you lookin' around

'Cause I've been livin' way too long

In the right or the wrong ooh ooh ooh

I'm as small as a fly with the s**t

That I'm on ooh ooh ooh ooh

So get going get lost

I don't want to be found

You won't see me if you lookin' around

Feel my rain feel my pain feel my force

Walk in my flame it will change you of course

Don't be scared I'll be there where you are

You don't know it's ok where you go

Yesterday I saw the endin' of the end

And I'm in it again

Everything is on spin I'm just caught in the wind

Protectless breathless stress less

The high got the Faye kinda restless

Second guessin' intent directions

I get a kick out the irony of my blessings

Humorous in life enormous as my sacrifice

So it seems

Then again Salo ain't a thing

But a dollar and a dream and a model for the team

Or a slogan for the soul just so all my n***as know

God body bodied in this colded life

How you livin'

You're just another soldier right

What I'm fightin' for don't even know

What I'm writin'

Man this ain't even real life no more

I'm on the edge and I ain't got nothin' but a song

I'm lucky if the birds sing along

'Cause I've been livin' way too long

In the right or the wrong

I'm as small as a fly with the s**t that I'm on

So get goin' get lost I don't wanna be found

You won't see me if you lookin' around

'Cause I've been livin' way too long in the right

Or the wrong

I'm as small as a fly with the s**t that

I'm on

So get going get lost

I don't want to be found

You won't see me if you lookin' around

Feel my rain my rain feel my pain feel my force

Walk in my flame hey high it will change you of course

Don't be scared I'll be there where you are

You don't know it's ok it's ok where you go
