lyrics

Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only, yeah nono

Watch the sky fall, a tear from her eyeball
Could make you lose pace in the race for survival
Call it love call it war call it libel
He say she say, love is like the bible
We all interpret it different, some people die slow
While others get the job done quick flying high low
Up down side to side is how that ride go
Hold on tight or you might let your piece of pie go
And I don't wanna lose, I swear I wanna win this
Made it my business to get this I'd be damned if I'ma quit this
Be a president or crackhead, yeah them scorpio rules
They got me acting a fool walking round half dead
Got bad facts and a sense of entitlement
Backpacks filled with crap and other vitamins
We all just shapes of our environments
So I won't be surprised when these skies come flying in

Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only, yeah nana

We don't see things as they really are we see them as how we be
And most people hypnotized and programmed by the TV
So when they look around the town and see people who acting greedy
They compete and try to win and don't see that they being needy
Perspective is a mother be conscious of how you see things
You could love the honey and still be traumatized by bee stings
If everything's an option and everything's always three things
Nothing's ever sacred, are there three stars or three kings?
I see GOD in every movement we make
In every moon and each shape
In every broom and each rake
You could be a fucking witch and summon dooms and mistakes
Or you could rake a little sand and learn to groove and create
I'm a student of boom bap and native tongues on the tape
Speak your love into existence, watch that frequency fate
And be careful what you wish for, hope it's truthful and great
Cause intentions under blood could reap a future you hate

Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
Could've been my savior, my one and only
But it's just as simple as a love if you ain't got it for me
