OSHUN – The Next Day lyrics

[Niambi]

Watch your head, watch your heart, watch your soul

Cause they’ll watch the clock and tick tock your toes

Come in the form of friends sent to expose your foes

Frenemies is enemies, both is identical woe


Like beware wolves in sheep clothes

Bros will snatch the clothing off your back

Then smack your ass two times and tell you bring it back

And pop it for a real nigga cause he got a stack

Yeah he’s whack, but you know all the facts about his zodiac

Like fuck his track record yo, I’m holding that

You got all this wisdom that you holding back

Cause he got the knowledge


He said you the river, now you dropping outta college


And you tellin all your girls that he’s popping

But you know your friend’s fuckin with them, even if it’s in her head, heart

You don’t give a fuck because you sleepin in his bed, start

Thinking that he’s feeling feelings deeper than or sweeter than

Anything he’s ever felt before, so you thinking that

It’s time to get a little bit more serious about y’all building nations

He said chill, and no he’s wearing on your patience

You’re patiently waiting for a hypnosis

A diagnosis, like who am I, God? Will you be my God?

To guide and lead a protect, and I will never protest

Your judgement I am yours, I’ll only walk through doors that you open for me

Keep my eyes closed for your pleasure, cause I know that I will never measure


To the man before me, I’m lustful and I’m lonely

Nah, that was the old me and now I know me


(CHORUS)

I know I’m the river, I’m the ocean I’m the rain

I know I’m the body, you the brain

I know there are things I can bring for our soul sustain
But I alone will still attain
