Damselfly (Feat. Tom Misch)

2:53Yeah man, fuck the Tories, man Uh, I told the Black man, he didn't understand I reached the white man, he wouldn't take my hand I sat alone in the shadows of a man With my eyes closed and told myself I should've ran I'm the boss and I'm supposed to have the plan But I can't think 'til I figure who I am Are you lost or are you just another man Sittin' in my sunshine tryna catch a tan? Listen, outside, I could feel the sun's rain I love it, inside, I was bumpin' John Wayne I made peace, you could never say the wrong name ADHD, my life one long game And don't fuck it up, say reveal nothin' Guys I used to run with are steady still puffin' What did they expect? Yo, what did they expect? Ayo, I never used to think of the effect When my dad passed, straight biological neglect The other one, sunset sittin' on the steps I was left, my mother came heavy in her breath Tears on my face transferrin' to her chest I was left and she would say, "He ain't comin'" But I can tell him that you love him And I would shout, "Nah, love means nothin'" Say, "I want a hug, I wanna talk, I want somethin'" See Reach the Black man, he didn't understand I told the white man, he wouldn't take my hand I sat alone in the shadows of a man With my eyes closed and told myself I should've ran I'm the boss and I'm supposed to have the plan But I can't think 'til I figure who I am Are you lost or are you just another man Sittin' in my sunshine? My eyes wide, tears cried The news lied, but he died So who am I? (Yo, who the fuck am I?) Ayo, I'm askin', who am I? Because my kid'll maybe have them blue eyes And he won't understand the pain that's in mine And late at night, I wonder maybe that's why Because I never wanna hear the same cry From a kid who doesn't fit in Into the world that he live in A half-assed, just kidding, wear a mask Just kidding, move ass, just whip it There's no sittin' 'round here, no livin' Ayo, you can't hate the roots of the tree And not hate the tree So how can I hate my father (Who's not hatin' me?) I told the Black man, he didn't understand I reached the white man, he wouldn't take my hand I sat alone in the shadows of a man My eyes closed, I told myself I should've ran I'm the fuckin' boss, I'm supposed to have the plan But I can't think 'til I figure who I am Are you lost or are you just another man Sittin' in my sunshine tryna catch a tan? Glory Glory Sittin' in my sunshine, sittin' in my sunshine How brave is your brave? How deep is your grave?
