In the realm of hip hop, there's no shortage of raw emotion and Saba is certainly not an exception. 🎤 With "Calligraphy," he gives us a peek into his struggle with depression, using the metaphor of writing as a means to cope. The calligraphy he refers to isn't just fancy handwriting; it's his own unique script - his music. 🖋️ He talks about running away from his problems but eventually gets tired and starts 'writing' them away instead. The repetition of "run" towards the end emphasizes this constant battle with himself. But in spite of all, Saba remains resilient, acknowledging that life lessons come even through pain and loss. So here's to turning sorrow into art - one lyric at a time!
Calligraphy
Lyrics
I don't tell the truth so y'all don't feel sorry for me
I don't write this shit so y'all will feel God comin'
I don't get down like that road
The amount of rappers on a mission to find some, calligraphy
Needed to feel, move to the beat of my drum
Why don't we kick in the snare? Waken a bear
All of the fucked up shit that we been through' I got keeping us here
We be aware, but only timing will tell
When you will find all your letters, calligraphy
Write it away, write it away
I just got tired of runnin' away, runnin' away
Everyone leaving, I write 'em away, write 'em away
Calligraphy
Write it away, write it away
I just got tired of runnin' away, runnin' away
Everyone leaving', I write 'em away, write 'em away
Calligraphy
I'm not mad at God, I just can't get out of bed
My best friend obituary really hang on my wall, by the dresser
I'm tryna see it a life lesson
No more time for morning' on my schedule
I see the right list, calligraphy
Readin' the signs like I'm a highway driver
I just hit Blaise Blaise, hieroglyphics
I see the wall that they write in, I build a wall up in my head
Autopilot what it felt like I was on
I sent the word out flying, calligraphy
Write it away, write it away
I just got tired of runnin' away, runnin' away
Everyone leavin', I write 'em away, write 'em away
Calligraphy
Write it away, write it away
I just got tired of runnin' away, runnin' away
Everyone leavin', I write 'em away, write 'em away
Calligraphy
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
I can't get out of it, I'm not mad at God
But I can't get out of bed
Makes me runnin' away, runnin' away, runnin' away
