Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace I send you on your way, then send myself down a corner I'm caught up in the nostalgia of lost and forgotten auras Eyes remain open when lips lock with keys That stay under doormats of wood shops with Ease (Scratched backs and lips chapped) My lemon, lime and guava, the apple you gave was sweet (As sweet as hell fire) All's sweet and lips burn My eyes do turn The lies, the lies, our grandchildren's pants on fire Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace I grew up with momma handing out mustard seeds Telling me to hug my neighbor and love thy enemy At 19 I was sleeping deep in envy and jealousy My pedigree moving synonymous with animosity Asking me to be humble like asking snow to not melt Ask the sun to move left Like asking men to not kill Like asking God to be phony, like asking you to be real The plight of a nigga balancing on the parallel parenting My momma stoic, my daddy angry, I split the difference with piety Blow up and shatter mirrors, then contemplate on their clarity Instigate on a riot off jealous nigga philosophy If I asked who gon ride for me, would you stand? (Would you stand for me?) Extending this kindness was common courtesy Currently asking inspiration for guidance, deliver me Sleep, drugs, fuck, and recycle, this cycle is killing me Intent on missing every blessing He sending me Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace Like ships in the night Belabored and struggling I love you too I wake up, I'm slumbering Only to return to my ways (My ways, ooo nah nah) I see no grace in remaining Patient I see no grace
