Color Palette Lyrics

This is not a sad song (Nah)

This isn't even a rap song (Huh?)

I just had to have a talk with myself

So I guess I'll call it self-help, hope it helps y'all

Broke but I'm going to heal

Still the devil on my heels

He'll tell ya I just spelled Hell wrong

Can I get a Hell naw?

Hell naw! (Hell naw!)

Thanks

I'm so fed up with the negativity

And worse being numb just so none of it get to me

Fuck that, I'm done with the nothing matters

I'm bout to pull out the color palette

And cover this dusty canvas

With a bunch of baggage that I swept under rugs

Something magic happens when you let it come up like Aladdin

I do not run from the darkness, I dance in it

I need to understand it

Might write a hundred raps

That's redundant as mumble rappers

Just to grasp what its area is

The notepad is my therapist and it says

Yeah, there's some that I want back

Yeah, there's a I wish I had

Yeah, there's some problems in my past that's all bad

That my dumb ass thought I'd be long past

But no, it don't work like that

I know it don't work like that

I'm over the bad vibes, but that's life right?

Up and down like a half pipe

So who am I to act like there's a better offer?

I often recall the Desiderata

Say whether or not it is clear to see

Everything is exactly as it oughta be

So this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

To this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

To write til I get it right (Right)

Just write til I get it right (Right!)

I'm gonna write til I get it right

Til I get it right, til I get it right, I'm gonna

Stop trying to perfect your shit, bruh

Nothing is ever perfect

And for me, that's what makes our songs fucking perfect

Been a gray day in a bleak week in a dull month in a dreary year

I think my beard has a beard

I need some color in here

'Fore I gun it and steer off the pier like

Cannonball

It appears that the fear's all there is to fear after all

We're just complex animals

Standing tall til we're bout to fall

Funny how Fall's bout the loss, but so colorfully bountiful

What it all really amounts to is how you call it

Glass half full always how I saw it

Wasn't all that honest when the contents was alcoholic, though

Optimistic, but I never say God forbid all the possible alternates

Got a pot to piss, so if I'm pissed

Take it with a grain of salt, and if I'm salty

Well I'm probably tripping

A bit neurotic, but you already know that

You have to pay rent to keep the lights on upstairs

My mind don't understand half my brain a bit more than a bit distorted

But bang it on the mixing boards and that's saturation

When everything seems drab and drained

Use your imagination

And there you have the whole rainbow, glowing and gleaming

SpongeBob fans know what I mean

Was never going for the Gold and the Green

I need the whole damn amalgamation

Nowadays clouds gray, and it's monochrome

But I got a soul

And I found a way to make sound a spaceship

And that shit got comfy seats

I come in peace

Hip Hop abducted me

So see the tractor beam and come fuck with me because

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

To this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

To this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

To this little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright

And when it's night

I'm gonna emphasize, I'm gonna exercise my right

I found the light in the dark

I think that I am the spark, yeah

Thawing the iciest heart with my set

Like the fire inside of the hearth

I found the light in the dark

(I'm gonna let it shine when it's bright)

(This little light of mine)
