LSD
Jamila Woods Lyrics

A body of water inside me
I have a deep connection with water as if it's a part of me

Reminds me of oceans, though I've never known one
Even though I haven't seen an ocean, the water in me feels like one

I'm born by a cold one
I was born near a cold body of water

It's only a small one compared
The water near my birthplace is small compared to larger bodies of water

To the coast, I prefer it to most
I actually prefer smaller bodies of water to bigger ones like the coast

I like water that don't burn my eyes when they open
I prefer water that doesn't sting my eyes when I swim

I won't let you get inside
I won't allow anyone to affect me or get too close to me

My city like my skin, it's so pretty
I find my city to be beautiful like my own skin

If you don't like it, just leave it alone
If you don't appreciate my city, there's no need to criticize it and just leave it alone

You gotta love me like I love the lake
If you want to love me, you need to love the things I hold dear such as the lake

You didn't think I really had it like that
You underestimated me

Matter fact, we can swim in it
In fact, the water we're talking about is so great that we can even swim in it

Get on the highway, highway, baby You'll get in my way, my way, baby
Let's take a road trip, but be warned that I like to do things my way

See, we can fly away, fly away, baby And we don't ever leave the ground No, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Even if we don't physically leave, we can fly away in our minds and thoughts

This here ain't for no Vice doc This here ain't for no Spike op But since I was one like a cyclops I run up some stairs on a bike cop
This isn't a documentary for Vice or a special for Spike TV, but since I'm unusual like a cyclops, I once tried to evade the cops by going up stairs on my bike

My niggas was real when the mic dropped I put 'em in my will like a bike lock
My friends were supportive when I started rapping and I will support them in return like a strong lock on a bike

Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
Life's better in cities like Pasadena or Catalina near water where the extremes of violence (bullet holes) and education (backpacks) don't coexist

And I'm supposed to father my daughter? But she the princess in the dragon's lair I'm a dragon slayer, I can't fly away To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
I'm supposed to be a role model for my daughter, but it feels like she's in danger (the dragon's lair) and I'm like a heroic knight (dragon slayer), so I can't escape to a safer place, I have to find a way to make things better

I will never leave you I'm everything you made me Even when you break me down The water always saves me I could never leave you I'm only what you make me Even though you break my heart The water's gonna save me
The water inside me is calming and supportive no matter what, even in times of heartbreak or tough situations, and regardless of what happens, I will always feel connected to it
