Lyrics
Uh, I like bright dawn (dawn) and my nights warm (nights warm)
Expressing a preference for bright mornings and warm nights.
Enjoying this cozy porch swing in a light storm (light storm)

Children of the corn hungry, yeah we'd like more (like more)

Naptown on it check the Laureate sonnet (sonnet)

Still riding with the same folks that showed you the ropes (showed you the ropes)

I'm known for going overboard and flipping over the boat
Known for going above and beyond, even to the point of risk.
No, we don't need a reason to celebrate us and give a toast
Celebrating without needing a specific reason.
I'd never seen the coast
Expressing unfamiliarity with the coast.
Midwest babies doing the most, ay

Walking like a savage in a garden, beg your pardon?

I just left my body astral plane and double parked it
Experiencing an out-of-body moment and leaving the body on the astral plane.
We were dancing on the moon
Recalling a moment of dancing on the moon.
It was over before it started, like woah
Feeling that an enjoyable moment ended abruptly.
Flipping the lights on (Flipping the lights on)
Turning the lights on, keeping the heart warm, avoiding being dead wrong, and being born with a bright spirit.
Keeping the heart warm (Keeping the heart warm)
-I don't wanna be dead wrong (I don't wanna be dead wrong)
-Born with a bright one
-'Cause I'm always smiling, staring at a leaf
Constantly smiling, observing the cheaply built structure of society, swimming in sweetness, and having companionship.
And we know the structure that they built is cheap
-And though they take all the money, they're just dead inside
-And I'm just swimming in honey, pack by my side
-I'm bathing in the sun rays, thinking bout the days ahead
Bathing in sunlight, tending to nature, and feeling a positive change in the environment.
I sprinkle water on this aloe plant that hangs above my head
-Better yet, I got this funny feeling my spirit hits the ceiling
-Appealing as I see that nature is healing
-A n--ga wavy like a surfboard, I'm down to earth boy
Describing a carefree and down-to-earth personality, expressing worth, and referencing advice from a granny.
Tired of wildin' on the curb boy, know what I'm worth boy
-My granny told me eat my Raisin Bran, I'm in the nap with it
Being in the moment, capturing scenes in art, and wanting others to witness personal experiences.
I'm tryna count these faces man
-In a 2000 blue sedan I'm like Georgia O'Keefe
-N--ga I paint what I see, I'm in a private oasis but I want you all to see
-Black & Decker on high waisted pleats
Referring to tools, a lonely journey, and acknowledging inner strength.
This lonely road I walk along a mile long
-But know that I'm a beast
-Took a decade to see, from sea to shining sea
-My city gonna ride with me
Expressing loyalty from the city and inviting someone to join the journey.
Baby, why don't you ride with me?
