about

Track 1 off the SANCT EP produced by Reggie Coby

lyrics

how do i say hi after my hiatus / after doin away with rappin to be famous or to make it / i moved to cali just to get naked / for the nobody who knows this is still dedicated to you / but your man voo hit a transition / went in a furnace, emerged with a different ambition / for many moons i've been a man with a double mind / trying to find myself, finally stepped across the line / never mind your attention and interest / it's a lot of barbecuing and running long distance / plus an addiction to implants, print that / if you listen to the disc, you'll get that / it don't take a palm reader or a psychic / and they can't get the glory the most high get / i came back from the dead to write it, and i'm willing to sacrifice it / music is my isaac

[chorus] i left my home / i felt alone / but that ain't the way i'm feeling now / he's in control / he holds my soul / so i'll let y'all know some way, somehow / don't turn me down / just turn me up / don't turn me down

[reggie coby] i prayed so hard, waited so long / where are you god, am i all alone / they cut off my lights turned off my phone / i know i'm right they think i'm wrong / i give my all, my strength my flaws / my blood my tears, my love my fears / my gift my curse, my balls my word / lend me your ears, i must be heard / 'cause to me this is all that matters / as if there was none before, so there will be nothing after / whether triumph or disaster, he is riding straight design / flying, ignoring sirens, waving hi as i'm blowing by 'em / 'cause inside of my mind i'm a fckng giant / and you ain't met a ngga committed to this as i am / who better than me, why can't i shine / i done did my time, now give me mine, and I'm gone

[chorus]
