Deep Cuts
La ilaha il Allah Muhammad ar Rasulullah Habeebullah Ya Wadud I promise you it's always love between us Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest Speaking in earworms until my court feels adjourned We whirlwind around the compass, let the needle turn My north star, my own heart, my key concern That's the truth I need to learn, confirm, and reaffirm Water the seeds of my spirit that my ego burned Peeking at the wishing well, trying to sneak a turn I speak in terms of the universal, timeless May these lines remind of the real ties that bind us— The feelings that lie underneath the disguises The brilliance that dies in the secrets and silence I'm fearless; I dive in it, bask in the plunge And come back speaking in tongues over Anthony's drums I casted shadow on sun, touched the past just for fun Caught an echo of an audience we massacred once But my back's not strapped with a grudge— The anguish doesn't live forever, but the gratitude does Letras de cancionesAnd so it's always love between us Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest Forgive me if I disengage— Any venom that I spit when I was in a rage Simply trying to flip a page to a different stage Trying to fit inside a living space I didn't create Any castle can become a cage If your name isn't on the real estate It can get strange trying to grow into your realest state You get loud and just complain, or quietly feel away Or try to renovate, and if not, just escape It isn't hate to simply want room Can't spread your wings inside a cocoon Bust out the womb, even if you couldn't be you without 'em— Sometimes you couldn't become the next you around 'em But love doesn't disintegrate It doesn't mean that it was fake if it switches shape The Creator is the Eternal, Everlasting Every other last thing in existence change But it's always love between us Even if those are the ones that cut the deepest A-N-T, you're a fucking genius Ooh, on and on and on and on Like hot butter on—say what?—the popcorn From Letras Mania
