a word with god

Feeling like it's all at once, feeling it me hold me, clutch
If I'm in one place, I'm stuck, but if I move, my time moves with me
I take risks, it make me risky, years and years that go by quickly
Pick up pace, it picks up swiftly, in this moment, veiled so thinly, so revealing
Count my lucky stars, I've ended up right where I wanted
What I wanted keeps me working, so you'll never see me parting
From this keyboard so almighty, hold me closer, dancer, tiny
In it for the longest haul, so you best hold on pretty mighty

Bent at my desk for real long hours, way too many freezing showers
We was 6th floor, shortest tower, make you check in at the counter
You're a number and a student, pick a class for your profession
I was missing these like every day, 'cause these the cheapest lessons
That's a longtime habit, teachers saw me rarely, hardly ever
I lived in San Rafael and loved it, but I loved the city better
Outta school, and I'm a renter, I got history and credit
Lotta things that I remember, and a lot that I'm forgetting
I was driving always, DoorDash sliding, if I hit you, sorry
Vicious cycle, all my wages went to the fill the tank
A couple times where me and Chris could have been totaled on our ways
I've been in accidents that I am not at liberty to say
I love my friends like family, but my family hit me like a train
And it's a lot of friends I've lost, and like a lot of family gained
I take the blood of the covenant over water and pain
I got blood in my wounds, I got blood in my veins

Feeling like it's all at once, feeling it me hold me, clutch
If I'm in one place, I'm stuck, but if I move, my time moves with me
I take risks, it make me risky, years and years that go by quickly
Pick up pace, it picks up swiftly, in this moment, veiled so thinly, so revealing
Count my lucky stars, I've ended up right where I wanted
What I wanted keeps me working so you'll never see me parting
From this keyboard so almighty, hold me closer, dancer, tiny
In it for the longest haul, so you best hold on pretty mighty

Working man, know the warehouse needs you
Me and Simon pacing through the aisles, yeah, we speed through
Amazon would pay me highly just to stand in freezer, nightly
Process was dehumanizing, Bezos, you can come and find me
Labor, labor, when I moved they left me hanging
But I'm glad they never answered, doing better lately
I'd go home to dorms that's packed out, nights I had the floor to pass out
Nights we went to Burger King for dinner when we had to cash out
These universities was ripping us off
I ripped 'em back and had my meal plan really feeding us all
I've only met so many people that would catch when I fall
I share the smoke, because the smoking bring the world to a pause
I bring 'em closer when there's things that's really tearing apart
All I've ever wanted was to live offa art
Come a long way since Siren's Anthems, hold my hands like holding handles
What's gon' happen, happens, focused on the wick of candle

Feeling like it's all at once, feeling it me hold me, clutch
If I'm in one place, I'm stuck, but if I move, my time moves with me
I take risks, it make me risky, years and years that go by quickly
Pick up pace, it picks up swiftly, in this moment, veiled so thinly, so revealing
Count my lucky stars, I've ended up right where I wanted
What I wanted keeps me working so you'll never see me parting
From this keyboard so almighty, hold me closer, dancer, tiny
In it for the longest haul, so you best hold on pretty mighty

Back in longest beach, I made it to stay
I got my foot inside the doorway, farther every day
Now I ain't ripping the school, I'm busy ripping the state
I'm close to finishing the chronicles, I stand at the plate
I eye the ball as it travels, swing squarely at Havel
Run the tracks through Crusher, and I run the tracks through Camel
Had to travel quite the distance, fought the highway like a battle
I am tryna coexist, and I am tryna hold the castle
Looking back, I'd turn to pillar of salt
I'm no religious man, but I would like a word with God
I think the closest thing to settle for a word with y'all
I'm tryna look through the depths of the crystal ball
I set the future up like houses made of cards that's stacked precariously
If I didn't see it, wasn't meant to be
If I didn't see it, wasn't meant for be
I'm gon' be receiving what is sent to me
