about

a reflection on wishing for home while far away, finding home inside of oneself while in motion

lyrics

If I told you of every feeling purged & parked in Paris
Or each one I left in South Cack
No one would believe me
Looking back for the slack in my truth
No regrets & no lies
No more time to waste concealing girl made to hide in her youth
We here now
We here now
I smile for the way i done see things manifest
I smile for the way i done see things manifest
We here now
We here now

Chorus:
Sapient likes to laugh
Sapient loves love
Sapient likes to sing
Sapient gives a fuck
Sapient likes mountains
Sapient went underwater, no lessons, came up with blessings

Grew up with mama’s hugs
Won’t say they were too much
Just we should hold ourselves more
It’s gorgeous
Flawless
Epic & it’s in all of us
Beauty has no model
Beauty has no roles
She does things different
She loves her soul
Family & friends over tartiflette
Rolled cigarettes
Croque monsieurs
Dope poetry course
Kitchen table stories
All the windows reflecting my glory
All the windows reflecting my glory

Chorus:
I bet you like to laugh
I bet you love love
I bet you love to sing
I bet you give a fuck
I bet you like mountains
If you swim underwater make sure you get your lessons
Make sure you get your lessons
Make sure you you you you

Where
Artists have walked
Where
Their black
& white photos
Are holograms surrounding you
In every window pane
Where
Ever you look
You are enveloped
In beautiful chaos
Where
The soul sits waiting
For stirring command
The next step
