Devonte Hynes

So like my favorite images

Are the ones where

Someone who isn't supposed to be there

Who's like in a space a space where

We were not ever walking down we were not invited

Yet we walk in and we show all the way up

People try to put us down by saying

"She doing the most" or "he's way too much"

But like why would we want to do the least

Cheap on your skin smooth

Jewels that ring

Shine hit your eyes

Black kiss the ring

Ruby ebony sides

Change my eyes for something cool

A dream never leaving my sight

A sun never leaving my side

A feeling a door starts to close

I'm feeling the burn in my eyes

The eyes of a heavy best

Suited to staying indoors like a good n***a

I treated the hope like my home

And destroyed it go figure

Still proud best of my abilities

Still I think about an exit

No one ever will appreciate

The way you bare your soul for them to or attune

I'm through

I'm through

Cheap on your skin smooth

Jewels that ring

Shine hit your eyes

Black kiss the ring

Ruby ebony sides

N***a I'm feeling myself

N***a I'm feeling myself

N***a I'm still in my zone

I'm still in my zone

Got big books but I'm broke

I'm broke

N***a I'm feeling myself

N***a I'm feeling myself

One time for the help

One time one time

Two times 'fore I fell

Three times for the hopeless feeling

Look at how I'm spending my wealth

Look at how I'm spending my wealth

And I'm feeling myself looking up

But then the thoughts start filling me up me up

N***a I'm feeling my n***a I'm feeling myself

N***a I'm feeling myself

One time for the help

When the news is way too fi'

And a man get shot on the passenger side

Too bad 'cos a n***a went live

Went live

N***a I'm feeling my n***a I'm feeling myself

Seek what you need to get by

Awake with one eye closed

In dark black clothes

Red and blue lights on my stone

Go back to being unknown

Relax your hair

Tuck your shirt

Put your glasses on

Play your guitar
