Act II: Soot Swallowed
beatboxing
( Oooh, oooh ) The walls are grey I can't believe the walls are grey I know what the caged bird choked on and proceeded to meet in the hall to pray I wasn't even given permission to take a second of intermission to call and say despite an impressive effort to keep our love off the record, my mother is into target play ( Oooh,
oooh) - Diji
BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT. I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar WELL, SHE'S NOT YOUR KID. CAUSE THIS IS MY HOUSE. I'll be the light before it gets dark cause I'm the one who memorized the beat of your heart Imma make sure that you go far even if I gotta power lift every low bar What a plot turn, how I'm guarding the door and don't see the lock turn now I'm staying up and am bordering nocturne cause I couldn't write anymore-- can't produce from a crop burn and you better believe I said it quicker than I was thinking when my momma lil hammer came down "I hate you" spit across the room sent me and my bags to my dad's across town ( Oooh, oooh )
