This beat is not my intellectual property, and I don't permit you to give me any money for the song I made out of it. That said, I hope you enjoy the song.
3Rhythms is an album inspired by and built with sounds from a trip to India, as part of a collaborative multimedia project with Summer HB.
So let's talk about love, right?
Let's talk about this thing that’s always tangling all of us up in these problems,
I mean, well, problems?
Well, maybe not "problems".
Yeah, I guess I shouldn’t project that assumption on everyone.
Like, umm, maybe y’all ain’t never run into the difficulties I’ve been encountering since a lil young pigeon,
Stricken early with the syndrome.
Yes'm, I've been addicted to love since I learned how to function.
And I’m the type that might decide my intuition’s got a better idea for me to craft a life I’m trying to live in-
Than anything I’ve ever been told that I should believe in.
So you can keep your two cents, sucka, I’m funna be leaving.
Me and lady libra got plans this whole damn weekend.
So have fun kickin' it here by yourself with your "feelings".
Yup, go and keep 'em all boxed up and stuff.
Cause lawd knows emotions can be so dangerous.
Uh-huh, it’s like, seriously rough, right?
Being vulnerable to another human being?
But yo, check it out right quick, here’s the thing,
Imagine if we all just gave ourselves permission-
To live out loud without building ceilings-
To keep us all boxed in and afraid.
Put up a wing, y’all.
So if you’re on your way, don’t get caught in the maze.
It’s always easy to forget them wings when everybody’s so afraid of the sky.
Can you believe way back when, there was a day - before feathers - that our limbs were all covered in flesh?
But I’m here to remind you that you’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Y’all got this.
So if you’re on your way and need back-up, just call me.
It’s always easy to forget them wings when everybody’s so afraid of the sky.
Can you believe way back when, there was a day - before feathers - that our limbs were all covered in flesh?
But I’m here to remind you that you’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Y’all got this.
You see, I’ve got this affliction.
I’ve got a love addiction.
I’m a serial crusher, and I’m in love again.
See she’s a pisces, and I wanna be everything that she’s swimming in-
But now I’m worried, cause I remember falling for that aquarian.
I’m like "Damn, Zac! Why you gotta be like that?
Fallin so completely at the drop of a hat?"
It’s like, "Can that, even be legitimate?
When every time you turn around another one be like-"
(SMACK)
Ow.
But yo, gimme a moment of music for me to articulate how I be feeling because I believe it is really something real.
I’m just somebody with a whole lot of romantic energy for somebody special, and I be really feelin it when I think she might be right here.
I might fear opening my heart up to another, since I’ve already been broken enough to know my capacity to suffer is significantly larger than ideal, but why would I want to live if I wasn’t here to feel?
(Y'all know what I mean?)
(Sometimes you gotta get into your feelings, right?)
(Don't get caught in the maze, it's all gucci.)
So if you’re on your way, don’t get caught in the maze.
It’s always easy to forget them wings when everybody’s so afraid of the sky.
Can you believe way back when, there was a day - before feathers - that our limbs were all covered in flesh?
But I’m here to remind you that you’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Y’all got this.
(We've got this. You've got this. Y'all got this. Aww yeah. We got it. It's all gravy.)
(You see that. We've got the whole thing. Wrapped up. Gimme dat.)
(Bruh. We g-g-g-g-got it.)
Would you believe way back when, there was a day - before feathers - that our limbs were all covered in flesh?
But I’m here to remind you that you’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Y’all got this.
So if you’re on your way and need back-up, just call me.
It’s always easy to forget them wings when everybody’s so afraid of the sky.
Can you believe way back when, there was a day - before feathers - that our limbs were all covered in flesh?
Now I’m here to remind you that you’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Y’all got this.
Y'all got this, y'all got this. Yeah.
(Nah, me neither. I was like "What? What are you talkin about?")
(Before Feathers?)
(Chirp chirp chirp)
What?
Aw we got it, baby. Don't even worry bout it.
(Baroque rococo.)
(Chirp.)
