FINGERS CROSSED

[00:19.72] The fish always sleep in, they swim in piles like the sheep

[00:22.38] And the shepherd's drunk off the feeling of power

[00:24.79] Scheming and stealing

[00:25.85] I got a shell that's protective, I swim alone, it's the best thing

[00:29.05] My aura's been through finessing, I don't need to impress you

[00:32.77] My value's too high, you think you can afford it?

[00:35.96] When your water's so dry and you're lacking abundance

[00:39.15] I'm not talking 'bout your pockets, yeah, your wallet means nothing

[00:42.35] Talkin' spiritual wealth, how did your heart get so hardened?

[00:46.33] Pearl in a sea full of clown fish

[00:49.25] Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch

[00:52.18] Ballin' then we stay baroque, oh-oh

[00:59.63] Baby, I'm born from the inner protection

[01:03.08] Crystallized carefully to perfection

[01:06.54] Hold me to your chest so close

[01:12.65] Not just expensive but patient, it took me years to create it

[01:15.84] Something so ostentatious that Judas found me egregious

[01:19.29] Cover them with my graciousness, they wound me, I'm healing it

[01:22.76] And fuck it, I heal them too, what mother of pearl would do

[01:25.68] Pay respects to my process, I'm the oyster, the farmer

[01:29.14] I'm the pearl that is harvested, polished, pampered, and promised

[01:32.58] Then I'm sold as a product to all the jewelry shoppers

[01:35.79] The cliché couples who want me to fix all their problems

[01:39.52] Pearl in a sea full of clown fish

[01:42.71] Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch

[01:45.36] Ballin' then we stay baroque, oh-oh

[01:52.80] Baby, I'm born from the inner protection

[01:56.27] Crystallized carefully to perfection

[01:59.72] Hold me to your chest so close
