Candle Mourned

Oh, still in motion, can't stop now, I'm rolling I started from the ends where the dream felt distant Now I'm counting up the paper, every digit consistent Used to wait for the bus and the rain persisting Now the whip pull up and the engine vicious Mama stressing by the bills, I can see it on her To the hold, I'm tight, gonna put a crown upon it Same man done from before, loyalty, I honor Lost a couple to the system, light a candle morning I don't move, I move when I had no options Used to count my loss, we quit in my coat pocket Let a motion never stop, no, I can't lock it Keep my circle small, cause the snakes wanna copy Keep it moving, moving, never slow down Eyes on the prize, my cold town I stay in motion, can't hold me, no Came from the bottom of the ocean, watch me grow They wanna see me drown, but I'm floating, no Too much commotion, keep it low-key, though I stay in motion, heart full of scars, but it's golden, golden Can't stop, won't stop Outro Music Bama B B Bama Fold under pressure I don crease Came up out the trenches found a piece of peace Designing me now but I remember cheese Toast for the breakfast and a worn out Adidas They ain wanna know me when the pot was empty Now they double tapping photos, suddenly friendly I keep my receipts, every memory dented But I'm grateful for the client, won't resent it Skip the small talk, let the numbers do the speaking Sunday morning, counting blessings that I've been seeking Still I keep one eye on the road when I'm creeping Cause the higher that you rise, more they tryna leech in Keep it movin', movin', never slow down Eyes on the prize for my cold tongue I stay in motion, can't hold me, no Came from the bottom of the ocean Watch me grow, they wanna see me drown But I'm floatin', no Too much commotion, keep it low-key, though I stay in motion, motion, motion Heart full of scars, but it's golden, golden Slow it down From the cold blood to the warm light Every loss was just a lesson in the long fight Look how far I came, yeah, I earned my stride Still in motion when I turn off the lights Still in motion Can't stop now On road Watch me grow, watch me grow
