How do we know
All that we know
When we take from Venus
How far she can go
This space in between us is different you know
Different you know
Ain't got no love to give ya
Ain't got no love for me
We took it all from her
You took it all from me
Oh
Just for a little
Let me see your downfall, I'm tryna see your downfall
Don't you know I'm not tryna be like you
So just give me what I need so I can get through
I know I ain't gettin' love, at least not from you
Not from you
You better pay me
What you owe me
Pay the new me
Not the old me
'Cuz that nigga gon' fall apart baby
Ain't got no love to give ya
Ain't got no love for me
We took it all from her
You took it all from me
In the land of the dust you been tryna hold on
To the dirt and the rust while I think you should mourn
I love you enough to just try and move on, but fuck that
You ain't tryna move on
Don't you know I'm not tryna be like you
So just give me what I need so I can get through
I know I ain't gettin' love, at least not from you
Not from you
I don't want any bad dreams when I fall asleep
So please don't wake me up from all these memories
Close your eyes, pretend to be unlike your father
I don't want any bad dreams when I fall asleep
So please don't wake me up from all these memories
Close your eyes, pretend to be unlike your father
I don't want any bad dreams when I fall asleep
So please don't wake me up from all these memories
Close your eyes, pretend to be unlike your father
We was kids, raised from dirt by morning sun
We stretched through air, attempts to reach the Holy One
We grew through clouds and thought back to where we from
Below, we saw our home and what it had become
I thought to myself woah, how far up have we grown
The birds, they haven't flown
The rain, it hasn't shown
A space we've never known, there ain't no holy throne
Just a seat among the bees
And the trees
And all the little Black kids with they ashy ass knees
And all they moms who work so damn hard to feed em'
Thank you mom, I couldn't be here without you
