[Intro]
Kenji save our souls
Kenji save our souls (yeah)
Kenji save our souls
Kenji save our souls (uh)
[Verse 1]
I was thirteen
Stuffed the stash in my school socks
Running from a cruiser
Cut the alley through two blocks
Mama say she praying
I keep waking from the same dream
Blue lights in the rearview
Cold sweat, can't stay clean
Perkies in a plastic bag
Passing in the stairwell
I ain't have a hero
Only dealers at my farewell
Tears on my shoelace
Blood on my coat sleeve
Told myself "you destined"
Even when I ain't believe
[Chorus]
Kenji save our souls
They tryna lock my name in stone
I'm running from patrols
Heart racing like it's overgrown
Kenji save our souls
I'm too high, but I still feel alone
If I die before I blow
Turn my pain into a studio
[Verse 2]
First mic was a busted phone
Recording in my friend's garage
Lean stains on the carpet
Writing verses like a sabotage
Pole on the mattress
Paranoid when the knock loud
Kicked in the back door
I was flushing while they walked round
Jumped out the window
Landed hard, almost broke my leg
Laughing while I'm limping
Got a warrant with my gov name
Label on the call log
Say they like the way my scars sound
I just hope my lil' bro
Never see me in the compound
[Chorus]
Kenji save our souls
They tryna lock my name in stone
I'm running from patrols
Heart racing like it's overgrown
Kenji save our souls
I'm too high, but I still feel alone
If I die before I blow
Turn my pain into a studio
[Bridge]
I been talking to the ceiling (yeah)
Tell me who gon' catch these feelings
If the drugs stop healing
Will the fans still scream my lyrics
Every grave got a story, I know
Every case got a boy, I know
I was one of them
Still running from that shadow
[Chorus]
Kenji save our souls
They tryna lock my name in stone
I'm running from patrols
Heart racing like it's overgrown
Kenji save our souls
I'm too high, but I still feel alone
If I die before I blow
Turn my pain into a studio
