Say The Word Lyrics

- Meaning
[Intro]
Say the word
Say the word
[Verse]
My mama made it work, she fed her baby birds
Papa fled and left the earth within his eighty-eighth
Tectonic plates shifting, set aside my ways
Livin' for the finer thangs, struck and cut a vein or nerve
Say the word the play up on the field was overturned
Smoke would cover up the pain, I saw my father burn
Spliff after spliff in the crib, I would watch and learn
I run the race, you move impatient tryna make it first
I grew complacent, I was stationed where I caught that urge
On the verge of breaking through, I'm tryna break these curses
I only got myself to blame, it's me against that person that I was before
My hung face, brittle as a flake
I'm pushing buttons, tryna see it twirl
Whispers in the dark, them teeth was sharp
I got a lion heart, I'm tryna save the world
Who a save me? Save me a seat
Stray from feeling that I can't breathe
Or I can't be thoroughly me, at thirteen
My Egún in the sea, all in between the coasts from Cote d'Ivoire to Benin
Unraveling at my seams, my heart was knotted beneath
I don't want to be a burden, Todd said, "You are not to me"
A single tear up in my eyes, my lotus flower blossoming
I would smile like Siddartha
Pull the sword up out the stone with ease, I'm Arthur
And when I feel alone, l'm still a part of
Large love, loving me was always in the cards, huh?
[Chorus]
Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned
They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched
Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned
Say the word, it's amazing how I'm claiming what I've merely earned
They told me, "Keep from by the edge," when I was clearly perched
Lookin' for a push, deep within it is where Navy learned
[Outro]
Say the word, say the word
Tryna save the world
Just say the word
