RUDIMENTAL

I can't explain the way you make me feel
Locked with the sun in our eyes
God knows it's a beautiful life
I set my intention and I keep it real
Coward enough, feel the pain
Wisdom to wash it away

I can't explain it all, but something came in the night
And it washed my soul and made me whole
And now everything's alright
Shining and losing a light
If we never try, then we'll never know the basics
Don't let it pass you by

So, tell me when all goes down?
Are you gonna be around?
I know you're gonna make it in
But are you gonna make it out?
So tell me will you stop and stare?
Or are you gonna stand and speak?
Yeah, when it comes to history
Who you're gonna be?

It's the rudimental things that make the world turn
Forget whatever you know
Or love, which you have been told
I wanna love you bitter, so that you don't forget
Gone with the world in your hands
A child is the father would meant

I can't explain it all, but something came in the night
And then washed my soul and made me whole
And now everything's alright
Shining and losing a light
If we never try, then we'll never know the basics
Don't let it pass you by

So, tell me when all goes down?
Are you gonna be around?
I know you're gonna make it in
But are you gonna make it out?
So tell me will you stop and stare?
Or are you gonna stand and speak?
Yeah, when it comes to history
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Growing up I never thought I'd be a role model
To me it's crazy I relate to what I jot down
Half my neighbourhood survived returning coke bottles
The other half is middle class that played the class clown
So often with no options, worked from so worthless to show stopping and globe trotting
Both my parents had to die living the dream
So who am I to tell you don't believe?
No matter if it's winter, spring, summer, fall
Tell 'em that we want it all
Always going down the round
When there ain't no one to call
Can I trade my chocolate tie?
In for a wonder ball
Momma, I just wanna ball
Momma, I just wanna ball
And I don't ain't a silver love me like you do
Promise I'ma make it up to you
Not a fan of letting go
Gotta fight and now you know I'm here for you

So, tell me when all goes down?
Are you gonna be around?
I know you're gonna make it in
But are you gonna make it out?
So tell me will you stop and stare?
Or are you gonna stand and speak?
Yeah, when it comes to history
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
Who you're gonna be?
