Cool Carbon

AlphabetLyrics.com


I'm only carbon in shoes
Yeah...
I'm always losin' my cool
Yeah...
But I guess that's who you use
Yeah...
You left my shame in the tomb
Yeah...
You left my fear in my youth
Yeah...
You tore my options in two
Yeah...
I guess I'm leanin' on you
I guess that's all I can do
And it's cool
And it's cool
And it's cool
And it's cool.

I wrote a song about the future, then it came
And now I'm on the same thing lookin' for a frame
Take calls in the rain while my brain still aimless
20 years and I shrug like the same kid
Maybe dreamchasin' has scraped me on pavement
'cause I just need to pray I'll be used in the basement
Or the rooftops
Let your hair down, homie, kick yo' shoes off.

I'm only carbon in shoes
Yeah
I'm always losin' my cool
Yeah
But I guess that's who you use
Yeah
You left my shame in the tomb
Yeah
You left my fear in my youth
Yeah
You tore my options in two
Yeah
I guess I'm leanin' on you
I guess that's all I can do.

Once upon a time ago
I started noticin' what you wrote about me in yo' linear notes
And if I'm bein' honest, initially I was kinda closed
Off to the notion and devotion
And the honorable
Place that you would call me to
It's a whole new chronicle
I am just a mortal man
They called you the son of man
I call you my everything
And you let heaven meet earth
Like you opened up a portal and
I'm just tryna document the best way that a reporter can
It's all that it is
You encourage me to do it
As flawed as it is
It's beyond comprehension
How you love all yo' kids without condemning
Or condonin' all that we did, that's a trip.

You left my shame in the tomb
Yeah
You left my fear in my youth
Yeah
You tore my options in two
Yeah
I guess I'm leanin' on you
I guess that's all I can do
And it's cool
And it's cool
And it's cool
And it's cool.
