CELESTIALS. (feat. Nardean)
You ever ponder your demise?
When the fight's withdrawn
And lights have gone out from your eyes
The moment when they mourning and they realise
That you only gon' be livin' on in the mind
'Til you fade there too
And your grave ain't new
It often cross the mind like Shéyaa's tattoo
Reminds me to be mindful what I pray into
In what I hope to be
And what I aim to do
Cos I know that most of what I obsess
Over ain't that deep
And the cash excess will not follow me
To the life that's next
So I don't A-B what I have against
Any man's proceeds or what he possess
Gotta be content
But perpetually unsatisfied with the character inside
And the legacy I plan to leave for the family of mine
So I'mma shoot for the moon 'til my fate and I collide
And among the stars is the place that I reside
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
(One day we gon' all turn to celestials)
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
I know that getting older is something that we supposed to
But it's funny how I'm gratified when my daughter grows
But agonize when the folks do
She reminds me of a life to look forward to
They remind me of the life that we gon' lose
I ain't ready to be eulogizin'
Not before they see me realizin'
Every prayer that they been recitin'
I know that it's gon' be Godly timin'
I just hope it's on the horizon
Inadequacy been petroleum for my drive
But it didn't deplete as I clocked up all the mileage
Like I hoped it would
So I had to park that mindset
Cos I got so exhausted and tired
Of that pressure
Of tryna measure up by all measures
Or never treasurin' all of my own treasures
But love is high octane
It's gon' make this thing run better
'Til I cross the finish and drift on into forever
And then I'll be celestial
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
(One day we gon' all turn to celestials)
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
My mom said don't let me catch you flauntin'
Just know the grave puts that in check
Kings and pawns return to the same box in the end
Rich and poor can both be too broke to pay respect
Time ain't hoarded
Live your life like your days are spent
You'll afford to
Pay the bill on your date with death
Just make yo bed
Watch the talk that's comin' out your lips
Is you really speakin'?
Or are you lettin' fear be your ventriloquist
Talkin' bout some "wait, what if I miss?"
It's better that you try than you die saying 'what if?"
That's why I keep big steppin' on this road
Movin' intentional
And if you step on my toes
You gon' need medical
One thing about these seconds, they go
So it's inevitable
One day we all gon' be celestials
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
(One day we gon' all turn to celestials)
Woah, woah
One day we'll be celestials
Mmm, one day we'll be celestials
One day we gon' all turn to celestials
We all become memories then galaxies
One day we gon' all turn to celestials
We all become memories then galaxies
That's what we'll be
Celestials
