Dominic Fike SPOTLIGHT / INNER CHILD

Tekst piosenki

[Part I: SPOTLIGHT]

[Verse 1]
I hear a voice in the vent
Through which a poison was sent
As she was fixing my teeth
I see the back of my head
See how the homeless are bent
From the fent’
Sometimes I feel like a bug
Motion detect
Not all the boys in the hood
Grow up to be men
Some grow up to be insect
And drain the blood out my neck

[Refrain]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Look through the cameras, the kids
Dragged into the mist
I tried to grab ’em, my grip
Slipping through my mitts
Whatever happens, up next
I will do my best, best

[Part II: INNER CHILD]

[Intro]
Yo, Tay, you thеre?
Yeah, I’m chill, I’m right herе
Yo, what’s up, G, how you doing?
I’m still here, bro, how you doing?

Good, good to hear, man
Now, we’re just out here in Texas
John’s been telling me y’all were working on something that sounds really special
Yeah, hell yeah, bro, we been locked in [?]

Yessir
[?] the very thing doing, bro, that shit hard, bro
Man, I appreciate that, it means a lot, brother, thank you
You know, we’re making an album right now and it’s the last day of the album
Uh-huh
And we just wanted people like getting shit off their chest
Okay, bet, so you don’t have no type of statistics, name, anything like, even if it’s a wide range
Yeah
You don’t got
Well, you know I’m quitting, right, I’m tryna quit smoking
That’s kinda the thing about this album, so
And spiritually it’s been like a journey, obviously ’cause you kind of realize you need something
It’s kind of the last thing I’m cutting out as an addiction
And it’s like, I’m at this point where I realize, „Damn, I kinda need something”
Like I’m a, I need a vice
Like I’m, you know
And we been moving throughout the world
I just had a son, we been touring a lot
I’m feeling disconnected from my home, um
And I’m growing up at the same time
And so it’s just, I don’t know, from being thirty to culminating all these things
Being thirty like
I don’t know where you’re at in life right now
But I’d be curious to hear it, whatever, you know, just any sentiment that comes to the mind I think
If you just wanna spit whatever on your part
Okay
And if nothing comes through, that’s alright too
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, understood, brother, this is it
That’s kind of what I needed right there, it’s good
Yo, what’s good, Dominic bro? It’s TayKay reporting live from the belly of the beast, you feel me?
I thought about what we talked about earlier and I just wanted to like, tell you, bro
No matter what, what I would say is just stay connected to like your inner child, bro
I got you through all these dark times I be going through, you know I’m saying like
I try to hold on to that youthful [?] in life
Everything’s a learning experience
Everything is wonderful
Everything is amazing
I try to see the beauty in every experience
I ain’t gon’ lie, bro, my mom went through a lot, bro
What I love about her is like
What everybody kinda love about her
’Cause you know like everyone, all my inner circle, they all know what my mama went through
But like, bro, she still got the glow to just light up the whole entire room
Like [?] through all that crazy-ass shit
Time after time, drug addiction, abuse, everything
She still like [?] glow, bro
I love my mom to death

[Verse]
Trying to explain I love you
The best way I can
The best way I can
Trying to explain I love you
The best way I can
The best way I can
Trying to explain I love you
The best way I can
The best way I can
