Purity RingGrandma, the water is rising
My boundless hair has gotten green
I'll be your swimming forest island
Bid you walk safely, safely over me
Danny BrownRaised in the gutter, I ain't really had nothin'
No silver spoon, I was raised a rusty shovel
Granny used to tell me boy stay up outta trouble
But the hunger in my tummy had me stayin' on my hustle
When I'm livin' in the bottom with my head on a cloud
Stomach rumbling like a thunderstorm was the ?
Pray over me and I'm hoping that I make it
Like a last dollar in a slot machine in Las Vegas
Need good luck, stay trusting my guy
If you can't hold me down, then you hold me up
Trapped in a ?, nobody I could trust
I'd give it all away before I give it all up
Now tell me have you ever ever ever in your life
Hear something wrong and you know it wasn't right
Now you're up late night thinking that night
All along sorry, know it wasn't right
Same sense again, tell me would you think twice
I did that yesterday, put it on my life
Once a day passed, would a feelin' never last
While I flick away my problems with the cigarette ash
Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep
Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep
Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Purity RingGrandma, the water is rising
My boundless hair has gotten green
I'll be your swimming forest island
Bid you walk safely, safely over me
Grandma my sleep is narrow
Bid you bring me some strong drink
Strain out the pulps and set them close outside
For when my belly
For when my little belly speaks
Grandma, there's air beneath my bed
And it whispers
And it whispers when I rest
Bid hem the skirts in salt and vinegar, vinegar
And hover closely
Hover closely under head
Danny BrownStayin' up late, I could never ever sleep
Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep
Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Purity RingGrandma, I've been unruly
In my dreams
And with my sleep
Drill little holes into my eyelids
That I might see you
Grandma, the water is rising
My boundless hair has gotten green
I'll be your swimming forest island
Bid you walk safely, safely over me
