lyrics

I’ve been sleeping long days
Away through the sun rays
Glasses shattered, it’s a mess, hey
Brush it off until it fades

Where the hell I’m gonna run to?
Afternoon, singing Badu
I’ve been telling you to come through
“Too far away,” is only a phrase

Take the last step
Make my sun set
Once your mind rests
You will digest… that…

We could have been kings
Got lost to the freedom
No, I’m not scared of being wrong
I’ll have no fear if I fall
Too bad you lost me

Somethin’s gotta give soon
It’s time for me to mourn you
Today it rained just like the cartoons
Made some breakfast, played some sad blues
Where the hell you gonna run to?
Moving pictures through your tattoos
I’ve been telling you to come through
Now far away is all a mistake

Take your last step
Make your sun set
Now your mind rests,
But you digest… that…

We could have been kings
Got lost to the freedom
No, I’m not scared of being wrong
I’ll have no fear if I fall
Too bad you lost me

We could have been kings
Too bad you lost me
Too bad you lost me
Too bad you lost, bad you lost, bad you lost

Nothin’s gonna hurt you
Bullets or their words spewed
And your life was a virtue
Always crystal clear…
