“Noah’s Ark” Lyrics:
Open your eyes
Make room for a little sweet love
The Lord is all around you, child
And that’s what you’re made of
Remember: there is a light
And it shines bright just for you
And you can’t cut yourself off from it
No matter what you do
I had a 3.5 at Duke
And I was blowin’ up
Three albums, I got a row of ducks
When my dad was 22
Dawg, he drove a truck
January in Detroit is cold as fuck
You know its tough
But I came this far I ain’t slowin’ up
Livin life with the LeBron James shoulder shrug
One thing you’ll never hear me say is “close enough”
I’m dope as fuck
I lost 2018 to a broken heart
I wrote this whole thing, I know my part
I made a wildfire from a glowing spark
I press go in March, I gotta go and march
All previous conceptions are blown apart
Not everyone can come with me, it’s Noah’s Ark
I ain’t Greg Popovich, I have no remark
These are the type of riches one can only hold in
And anyone that’s gone over my history
Knows I ain’t stuck in the mold of the industry
I am walking down a road of epiphanies
Three words: Growth Over Consistency
Back again, they’ve been tapping out McGregor,
I’ve been tapping in,
Livin’ out the dreams I was once just imagining,
It’s happening,
I get so much work done nowadays it’s almost like I have a twin
I can’t just sit on the couch
Shoveling shit in my mouth
I don’t know how I’m gonna walk across this country,
But I know I’m a figure it out
And who knows what I’m gonna do when it’s done
Hopefully, I touch a life: you can be one
I’m not walking to show people who I am,
I’m walking to find out who I become
The people ain’t stupid, they know what’s real
Sometime to get to heaven, we gotta go through hell
And I’m rollin’ deep, no Adele
You can ask World Wide Wes, dawg, he knows me well
My life’s like an instruction manual
How to not be borin’ (not be borin’)
It’s my spirit, my smile
That have got me soarin’ (got me
It broke my heart to tell the band
We would not be tourin’ (not be tourin’)
But I just gotta do this (I gotta do it)
I can’t stop explorin’
I was a short
My whole life is now
With no handout, I look at my heroes…
That’s what I am now
Yoga class headband now
People say I’m off-brand, how?
I am the brand, therefore
Anything I do is on-brand now, I’m on-brand now
People got attached to a version of me
And it hurts when they see a person who’s free
But I’m so grateful for all of these lessons
Twice as much money, half the possessions
No drugs, now the vision’s clear
People mad ’cause the old me isn’t here
All my gold jewelry just disappeared
That’s the universe tellin’ me to start switchin’ gears
The deeper the human, the deeper the songs
Look at my life, the dream isn’t gone
I saw all of this two years ago
It’s almost like it was me
People copy but they copy wrong
Puttin’ out a bunch of sloppy songs
If I die and the Rockies don’t
Forget to bury me with Petoskey stone
And opportunities keep on
Killer concepts come to me in
This is just an intro, a daydream
The rest comes January 18th
Open your eyes
Make room for a little sweet love
The Lord is all around you, child
And that’s what you’re made of
Remember: There is a light
And it shines
You can’t cut yourself off from it
No matter what you do, no
Open your eyes
