Mike Posner - Noah's Ark Lyrics

Open your eyes
Make room for a little sweet love
The Lord is all around you, child
And that's what you're made of, remember
There is a light
And it shines bright just for you
And you can't cut yourself off from it
No matter what you do

I had a 3.5 at Duke
And I was blowing up
Three albums, I got a row of ducks
When my dad was twenty-two, dog, he drove a truck
January in Detroit, it's cold as fuck
You know it's tough
But I came this far, I ain't slowing up
Livin' life with the Lebron James shoulder shrug
One thing you'll never hear me say is, "Close enough"
I'm dope as fuck

I lost 2018 to a broken heart
I wrote this whole thing, I know my part
I made a wild fire from a glowing spark
I press go in March, I gotta go and march
All previous conceptions are blown apart
Not everyone can come with me, it's Noah's Ark
I ain't Gregg Popovich, I have no remark
These are the type of riches one can only hold in heart (woo)

And anyone that's gone over my history
Knows I ain't stuck in the mold of the industry
I am walking down a road of epiphanies
Three words: growth over consistency (woo)
Back again, they've been tapping out, McGregor
I've been tapping in
Livin' out the dreams
I was once just imagining, it's happening
I get so much work done nowadays
It's almost like I have a twin

I can't just sit on the couch
Shoveling shit in my mouth
I don't know how I'ma walk across this country
But I know I'ma figure it out
And who knows what I'm gon' do when it's done
Hopefully, I touch a life, you could be one
I'm not walking to show people who I am
I'm walking to find out who I'll become

And people ain't stupid
They know what's real
Sometimes to get to heaven
We gotta go through hell
And I'm rollin' deep
No Adele
You can ask World Wide Wes, dawg, he knows me well

My life's like an instruction manual
How to not be boring (not be boring)
It's my spirit, my smile
That have got me soaring (got me soaring)
It broke my heart to tell the band
We will not be touring (not be touring)
But I just gotta do this (I gotta do it)
I can't stop exploring
I was a short lil' Jewish kid
I ain't speak much
My whole life now is something that I've dreamed up
With no handout
I look at my heroes and
That's what I am now

Yoga class headband now
People say I'm off-brand, how?
I am the brand, therefore
Anything I do is on-brand now, I'm on-brand now
People got attached to a version of me
And it hurts when they see a person who's free
But I'm so grateful for all of these lessons
Twice as much money, half the possessions

Uh, no drugs, now the vision's clear
People mad 'cause the old me isn't here
All my gold jewelry just disappeared
That's the universe telling me to start switching gears
The deeper the human
The deeper the songs
Look at my life
The dream isn't gone
I saw all of this two years ago
It's almost like it was me reading my palm

People copy but they copy wrong
Putting out a bunch of sloppy songs
If I die and the Rockies don't
Forget to bury me with Petoskey stone
And opportunities keep on popping up
Killer concepts come to me in shavasana
This is just an intro, a daydream
The rest comes January 18th

Open your eyes
Make room for a little sweet love
The Lord is all around you, child
And that's what you're made of, remember
There is a light
And it shines bright just for you
You can't cut yourself off from it
No matter what you do, no

Open your eyes
