So many speak on the bottom and never know the feel
Or how it looks at the top or if it’s even real
We ain’t selling dreams but we live in some
No arms license and still we stick to our guns
I’m gonna live my life
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
We here to live
For ourselves first
And if in doing that it helps you
So be it
Let it drop
Let’s go
We’re gonna live in full
If I keep living my life
Eventually I live out my dream
I’m gonna take my time
And find what’s right for me
I’m gonna live my life
We gonna live life
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
Live in full
No more empty glasses
I’m gonna live my life
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
I said no more empty glasses or even half full
When the world sees that we’re blessed more than a handful
That’s why you can’t put your finger on it we got the touch
Never perfect living with purpose that be us
Open the curtains we give the real like behind the scenes
We give the heart in our chest and wear it on our sleeves
I don’t lend my clothes so you know it’s really me
I cop that so I rock that’s how we really be
But metaphorical speaking my peace
When I do haters zip they lips like it’s rhetorical
My past experience makes me an oracle
Don’t believe when it’s for me so I write it down allegorical
Ain’t try to be the clouds always overhead
Sometimes I gotta be the ground that hold you down instead
For yourself first then we go get the fam
Fill them up set them up like it’s already planned
I’m gonna live my life
We gonna live
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
Our lives full
I’m gonna live my life
Let’s go
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
Let’s go
Let’s go
Or how it looks at the top or if it’s even real
We ain’t selling dreams but we live in some
No arms license and still we stick to our guns
I’m gonna live my life
I’m gonna live my life oh yeah
We here to live
For ourselves first
And if in doing that it helps you
So be it
Let it drop
Let’s go
We’re gonna live in full
If I keep living my life

Let’s go
Let’s go
Typing away until my fingers go numb
And brain goes dumb
Searching to simplify the complex
Cuz I don't want nothin taken out of context
I see them repeating the cycle of annulling agreements
In effort of restoring their cornerstones
keeping their backs turned
as they piss in the name of God
Marrying liberty and justice
I type away until my fingers go numb
And brain goes dumb
Hoping to amplify the subject
Cuz I be damned if any man try to make you his object
Unless you object
I'm with whatever you decide
It's your world
I'ma stay in it fighting by your side
I won't try to control nor chastise your freedom of expression
Your decision is God's essence
Your freedom is God's presence
I know God is a girl
To all my Goddesses, you go girl
Keep defying all the odds
Keep defining what you call God
Include those transcendent boys and girls
They know
God is a girl, God is a girl
Yeah they know
God is a girl, God is a girl
I believe God's waiting to be set free
In everybody
I receive the message that she's black like me
Now I am complete
There should be no question
Does God love everyone
(Gay, straight, trans, them or they)
The point that I'll keep stressing
(God says)
Is she loves
(Give us)
Freedom
I know God is a girl
To all my Goddesses, you go girl
Keep defying all of the odds
Keep defining what you call God
Include those transcendent boys and girls
Cuz she ain't found in the legal system
She hates how men portray her in their religions
God is a girl, God is a girl
Yeah
(Wise folk know that God is a girl)
Who wants all to live free in her world
Her world
It's Her world
Everybody should be free
And brain goes dumb
Searching to simplify the complex
Cuz I don't want nothin taken out of context
I see them repeating the cycle of annulling agreements
In effort of restoring their cornerstones
keeping their backs turned
as they piss in the name of God
Marrying liberty and justice

Babe, I've figured it out
It's going around
You've got a case of amnesia
Babe, ya say it's all in the fun
But I ain't the one
I got a ton of hunks waiting for me to leave ya
I know I'm a lot
But I got the spot
That makes you smile upon eruption
I don't understand
Why you play pretend
My heart is holding no auditions
I'd be your nurse
But you rather lurk
I contend to mend the distance
Hold from being too persistent
Maybe it's best to join you and forget it
You can call me the doctor
Cause I've got the cure for lovers with amnesia
The cure for lovers with amnesia
You can call me the doctor
Cause I've got the skill to heal the amnesia
A skill to heal the amnesia
A tender warning
I might just get amnesia too
A common side effect
Is making room for the next in cue
(Make room and forget about you)
A tender warning
I might just get amnesia too
Another side effect
Is making room for the next in cue
Just a case of amnesia
You've forgotten I don't need ya
Just a case of amnesia
A Tinder warning
I might just get amnesia too
A common side effect
Is making room for the next in cue
(Make room and forget about you)
It's going around
