Rant Rushmore
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Most of my fear, is sittin' right here withcu for the rest of my life
All this pain came from the games that your mama
And your daddy played and abuse
So you try to get away try to break free from the twenty first century
Slave ship drama mmmm
And therefore dreams it seems tied to a bitter scene
I'm eating gold macaronI for dinner
I'm a lifelong sinner

Amen, Amen
Amen
I could be that change coming
Still feel that change coming
Yeah she my cancer now that we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances
Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer

Most of my guilt all of my tears flow like a river
'Cause I failed and I couldn't deliver
I said fuck the whole world I'm a little girl
I'm a little girl I'm a big black dog I'm a killer
All over the place
I'm trying to rehabilitate
From the self hate from the self rape
I begin for you mother (oh life)
Got down on my knees pray it out without shame
For all the things I did wrong (oh!)
Yeah

Amen, Amen
Amen
I could be that change coming
Still feel that change coming
Yeah she my cancer now that we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances
Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer

Oh oh Amen
Amen, Amen
Amen
I could be that change coming




Yeah she my cancer then I know we're really dancing
Yeah she my cancer then I know we taking chances

Literally some of the best music I've ever heard and it's past the 2000s dropoff point where I normally don't care for music.
