about

[Verse One]

It’s as sickness how we worship this celebrity.
Look how we worship magazines before were seventeen.
Plastic-idolatry. Love, is up for auction,
its definition can be bought and sold to you on your TV screen.

Ah, homie you ain’t got no love? You must need Maybelline.
Maybe that’s the wrong product, but you know what I mean.

Advertise your life on social media
duckin’ adds at the same time,
screamin’ “look at us, us.”
Product Placement like, “We don’t give a fuck, fuck.
You not enough. You getting old. You too young.
Come get grown. Buy. Buy.
Consume until you die, die."

Ice caps crashin’ in record fashion.
Snap chatin’ in record fashion.
Chain reactions. Girl, why we built like matches?
Light this passion, come, love.

[Bridge]

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

[Chorus]

I just wanna get you get you off, yeah.
It’s the only sacred thing we have, yeah.
It’s a dog eat dog world, dam.
But if you take my hand

I will let you know my soul and
we can collect all the pain that
lead us hear. Hear me now. Understand.
What better alchemy than you and me?
How else we gonna fight against all this tragedy.
Come, love.

[Verse Two]

Corporate coffers collect billions of dollars in the arms trade.
We call it terrorism when brown vigilante kill American in Allah’s name.
We call it isolated incident when white vigilante blastin’ through our colleges.

He Christian, but we call it mental illness. For Christ’s sake, it’s White Man’s rage.
We call his victims innocent by standers because they have American names.

We call it collateral damage when an innocent girl in Afghanistan missin’ all her legs.
Her daddy dead and gone she sittin’ outside of her Mama’s grave,
cuz them west side bombers flew past screamin’ out freedoms name.

Her brother was killed by the Taliban. Her parents killed by Americans,
but we don’t wanna see her face. We don’t wana know her name.

Oh baby there’s too much shame. Absolve me with your grace.
Let your love reign. Say my name, come, love.
[Bridge]

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

[Chorus]

I just wanna get you get you off, yeah.
It’s the only sacred thing we have, yeah.
It’s a dog eat dog world, dam.
But if you take my hand

I will let you know my soul and
we can collect all the pain that
lead us hear. Hear me now. Understand.
What better alchemy than you and me?
How else we gonna fight against all this tragedy.
Come, love.

Verse Three:

Doctor pumps Botox cuz so many of us
Lookin’ for a fix cuz we don’t feel like we’re enough.
So The Doc fix your face up.
He can manipulate your skin
but can’t repair misguided love.
Fix Fix
Whats the mix up in your cup?
What it do? Make you fall asleep? Make you feel drunk? (4)
Bet I know where you got it from.
Got your own prescription to your favorite legal drug.
But those corporate drug dealers we don’t even call them thugs
Even though they like the biggest ones. (4)

Porn addicts caught up in compulsive habits feel themselves til they out of touch.
Fetishize everything to the extreme just to increase their buzz
‘til their sex life corrupt. (4)
like veins in a junkies arm
cuz they hit the ceiling and they can’t get high enough.
They got it fucked up when they put all the emphasis on the physical act of touch.(4)

Touch— just a passageway that connects the both of us
like we were one.
Goddess Woman I can see the god in your eyes
this is sacred,
infinite, love, come. (4)

[Bridge]

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

Only miracle I know is love.
Manifest it physically let it erupt.

[Chorus]

I just wanna get you get you off, yeah.
It’s the only sacred thing we have, yeah.
It’s a dog eat dog world, dam.
But if you take my hand

I will let you know my soul and
we can collect all the pain that
lead us hear. Hear me now. Understand.
What better alchemy than you and me?
How else we gonna fight against all this tragedy.
Come, love.
