[00:23.430]Beloved, paradise, jazz
[00:29.013]Beloved, paradise, jazz
[00:34.600]Beloved, paradise, jazz (Keep my braids)
[00:40.173]Beloved, paradise, jazz
[00:46.489]Braids for the summer, I'm less likely to falter
[00:48.561]Gold fingertips rusted, now the color has altered
[00:51.214]Deny food from the hand, matriarch is insulted
[00:53.964]The house is crumbling, hurry out the backdoor bolting
[00:57.530]The rubble recently reset my bones
[00:59.826]Black skin to concrete, within it I feel at home
[01:02.400]Surrounded by all my niggas, it's a feeling I missed
[01:05.432]I was once nothing and then suddenly I was fixed
[01:08.146]One filled with so much heat
[01:09.837]Praise sun 'fore I hit the street
[01:11.088]'Cause if I loosen grip a little
[01:12.197]Results finna be bleak, oh well
[01:14.284]Light escaping, tryna grab it at the wrist
[01:16.793]I was once nothing then a heart sprang out from the fist
[01:20.454]Hellish and unkempt, lungs filled with ragged breath
[01:22.766]Open mouth to speak, pop that boy 'fore he can step
[01:25.571]'Cause if the heart pulls the rest up at the seams
[01:27.869]Then that fist gon' grab something that could tip the balance beam for his
[01:31.412]Beloved, paradise, jazz (Yeah)
[01:36.755]Beloved, paradise, jazz
[01:42.325]Beloved, paradise, jazz
[01:48.168]Beloved, paradise, jazz, jazz, jazz
[02:16.062]The sun lends cracks to both sides of my eyes
[02:18.779]My gums still black, how else you tell that I lie?
[02:21.642]Showing off my canines, glow too bright for the reverend
[02:24.311]And though they all go, me and dawg might see different heavens
[02:28.208]Time alone has never once been a crutch
[02:29.951]The worst thing for a god is you realizing they can be touched
[02:32.717]Saw me aiming at the heavens, sun can't give me a kiss
[02:35.535]'Cause blacker-the-berry less likely, when he shoot he gon' miss
[02:38.396]Wake up
[02:39.440]Held you with my arms, I barely felt the beating
[02:41.387]This a side of my heart I ain't really shown too many seasons
[02:44.225]Running up those stairs, tryna catch you right before you leavin'
[02:47.088]I ain't make it, I guess it all gon' happen for a reason
[02:49.963]As I stand up on the balcony and look to the ground
[02:53.201]Money kept me moving but the heart wasn't found
[02:55.285]When I was standing on the edge about to fall off that cliff
[02:58.031]What kept me on was looking up and seeing my hand in your grip, my
