Mother Of Pearl

[00:19.73] The fish always sleep in, they swim in piles like the sheep..

[00:22.42] And the shepherd's drunk off the feeling of power

[00:24.28] Scheming and stealing

[00:26.14] I got a shell that's protective, I swim alone, it's the best thing

[00:29.33] My aura's been through finessing, I don't need to impress you.

[00:33.05] My value's too high, you think you can afford it?

[00:35.97] When your water's so dry and you're lacking abundance.

[00:39.42] I'm not talking 'bout your pockets, yeah, your wallet means nothing.

[00:42.61] I'm talkin' spiritual wealth, how did your heart get so hardened?

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

[00:49.26] Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch...

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

[00:59.89] Baby, I'm born from the inner protection,

[01:03.07] Crystallized carefully to perfection

[01:06.78] Hold me to your chest so close.

[01:12.63] Not just expensive but patient, it took me years to create it...

[01:15.85] Something so ostentatious that Judas found me allegious.

[01:19.30] 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?

[01:25.94] Pay respects to my process, I'm the oyster, the farmer

[01:29.40] I'm the pearl that is harvested, polished, pampered and promised

[01:32.85] Then I'm sold as a product to all the jewelry shoppers...

[01:36.04] The cliché couples who want me to fix all their problems...

[01:39.76] Pearl in a sea full of clown fish,

[01:42.67] Iridescent when I shine 'cause I'm that bitch...

[01:45.86] Ballin' then we stay broke, oh-oh.

[01:53.04] Baby, I'm born from the inner protection

[01:56.49] Crystallized carefully to perfection...

[02:00.21] Hold me, to your chest so close...
