27 Braids

27 Braids - Earl Sweatshirt/The Alchemist

Produced by：The Alchemist

Clean break tougher to make

Ain't a thing to the King they ain't ruffle the mane

Hold your head cover your face so disease doesn't spread

She said I got a son on the way

Made my bed so that's where I'ma lay

My worried bones my heavy head I carry home every day

My momma sayin' that I'll never be alone

Even though she gotta know that I know she dismayed

With the choices I made

The only way forward is unafraid and focused when I'm holdin' these reins

Yell thanks over my shoulder to my auntie Elaine

Twenty seven braids fallin' over my face

My head on straight my momma closin' the gate

And both of them sleep better when they know that I ate

I'm goin' through changes that I couldn't fathom

But growin' pains lead to understanding

I'm no passenger on a plane precious cargo in a cabin

My whole take on baggage just ain't the same

Don't fall for the fake magic

They came with the David Blaine patterns so we jab and weave

I'm tryna farm up some lavish green with the fam

Lavash bread sharin' everything with the team

Spreading seeds spilling drinks for the dead

Godspeed into the league but I'm still ahead

I found a swing sittin' in the sands

Pushin'

My ancestors turned

To open a door that separates us from our Creator

But you need no doors to find God If you believe

Believe If you believe you are
