Brother Ali - Secrets & Escapes Lyrics

All my deepest darkest secrets and escapes
They're keeping me awake keeping me awake
Tryna make me break
Deepest darkest secrets and escapes
Keeping me awake keeping me awake
Tryna see me break

The next time I disappoint you
Just listen to this
And remember that I warned you
I'm a hypocrite
Filthy me, guilty plea, throw me
On the mercy of the court
Worthy of every curse you've ever thought
Homesick and heartbroken, I remember God
And the dragon of the treasure chest
Of all that I forgot
Use my hard heart as a rock to break the lock
I tried to spend the spoils of
A war I hadn't fought
Blocking off the block because
We're plotting a parade
Time to celebrate all of the
Progress that we made
Mediocre strayed and we're the
Only ones that stayed
Never mind the fact that it's
Been mostly a charade

All the deepest darkest secrets and escapes
Keeping me awake they're keeping me awake
Tryna see my break, break
All my deepest darkest secrets and escapes
Keeping me awake they're keeping me awake
Tryna make me break

Anything of benefit I ever did
Has been a gift
Truth is I ain't ever did shit
High percentage is just projected
What my image is
The rest of it is just coincidence
Filled my stomach and I emptied my loins
My dollars are consumption and
My charity coins i elevated my claims
Even though the state is the same
Now you're saying you're so inspired
Yeah I know, that's the point
As I'm spitting this
I know that you're hearing
All these confessions
And considering I must be so sincere with it
I'm sitting here baring it
My ego get embarrassed
Started tearing at the intention I claim
Made it a chain and started wearing it
He don't ever slip or sleep
He just let me trick and treat
Myself into the costume I designed
To keep my picture sweet
Got me walking in the street, indiscreet
Long as I can say that
This outrageousness is inner peace
Listen please all hail the veils I
Wear like they're regalia
Add another layer to the fray
The more the merrier
Broke my arm patting my fat ass on the back
Thought I won 'cause a saint was
Kind enough to sign the cast

My deepest darkest secrets and escapes
Keeping me awake keeping me awake
Tryna see me break, uh huh
All my deepest darkest secrets and escapes
Keeping me awake keeping me awake
Tryna see me break
