Rest // Self-Surveillance

You held a piece of me, where's the rest?
One eye always open, where's the rest?
I don't flex on the beat, I just effervesce
Spitting fire like it's phlegm, gotta air the chest
I'm an advocate for letting people take a breath
But am I truly 'bout it if I don't include myself?
I burned my body (Yeah) as an offering to oxygen (Yeah)
I'm lost again (Yeah)
My stress kept me awake (Yeah) and then said (Yeah)
"Where's the rest?"

Yeah, anyway, I've been AWOL
Back inna shell, man ah move like snail
Froze like snow, but I'm hype like yayo
And I'm a unty, shout out Eole
Man ah still badman, one lick KO
Abeg you nah try, wahala dey o
Mate, I needed a holiday, yo
Shuteye deeply felt like braille
Whoa

Rest Rest Rest Rest
Rest Rest Rest Rest
Rest Rest Rest Rest
Rest Rest Rest Rest

I fall back on self-surveillance
All these eyes pray for a storm
Watch my temper, watch my cadence
Scrub the code, I'm insecure
New personas are created
No-one's mortal anymore
Saw myself again, I hate him

I want to love you
I want to love you
I want to love you
I want to love you
