life and death. [feat. Thiago Frazier​.​]

from before the faces and voices. by Tobi the Prodigy

lyrics

[Thiago.]
last time I took a seat, got a standing ovation
shook a lot of hands but couldn't see one sober face
had me wondering if I really owned the stage
but meeting real fans be the dopest of occasions
I'm okay with-the stereotypes now
they never accept my presence
I'm hearing "yo pipe down"
but I could show you texts from those who learned they lesson
saying I'm up next and "I like your sound"
being dope is a blessing so I pray for it daily
same goes for the bread and saying no to the ladies
Satan knows how crazy I go on the first date
when I'm tryna play a role in my bro's growth like plates
and buy some old Rollie's with rose gold on the face
so throwing away my focus gon' hold some weight
I don't know motivation, I'm driven to be great
my soul in a golden state but won't live in CA
we built different
I'm the white skinned equivalent of -
wait, let's just say I'm a skilled gentleman
taking pills for adrenaline in the form of rhyme
I was-ahead of the crowd before my time
went from - more than blind to refined and reformed
listen, you're sure to find me in the eye of the storm
when the four corners collide imma die by my sword
no shortage of quarters or dimes will dry up my hoard
gotta write some more, i feel tight in the chest
light in the head like I heightened the reps
make calls like a ref, I'm not the type to text
pray you don't fall cuz this life and death

[tobi.]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Don’t worry babe there’s time to kill today, then one day you find, ten years have got behind, ain’t no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. I know we young and dumb, take our time they’ll be a moment for lust, in this life that I live once, I’d be staring at that hole with the girl I love, moving forth to be reborn ignore the dead crows coming for your woes, enjoy what you got it’s a one love in this imperfect world. In a sense I’ve been conflicted ever since these walls talked in my adolescence, but I found peace within
