Chance The Rapper - The Heart & The Tongue

[00:12.30] My heart and tongue are fighting, my mind is undecided

[00:15.04] It's not like Trump and Biden, it's more like something private

[00:18.29] Like when your cousins fighting, one of 'em get excited

[00:21.04] You can't just jump the gun and pick a side and jump inside it

[00:24.28] Remember, Pontius Pilate hung a God and justified it

[00:27.30] The truth is slow 'cause someone's always in a rush to hide it

[00:30.03] The lies is golden 'cause the Devil got a touch of Midas

[00:33.30] The soul is brighter 'cause the Holy Ghost is ultraviolet

[00:36.29] The tongue is violent when the spirit starts to hunger-striking

[00:39.31] The thunder lightning makes the heart go under bunkers hiding

[00:42.04] The lungs is silent when it hears the footsteps of the giants

[00:45.54] And then, the fingertips, they twist up like Poseidon's trident

[00:48.54] Remember safety if you ever running from the tight end

[00:51.54] Remember Mookie if they ever come to cut the hydrant

[00:54.56] They cut the heart out with the tongue, they want it undivided

[00:57.80] You better not start, you make a fuss you end up uninvited

[01:13.04] My heart and mind are beefing, I call 'em "rhyme and reason"

[01:15.79] They always going head to head, I'm trying to Siamese 'em

[01:19.04] My father got a special set of skills like Liam Neeson

[01:22.04] He told me faith and squinted eyes can turn the blind Venetian

[01:25.04] I seen the sign, I'm in the den, I'm with the lions sleeping

[01:28.04] I seen the wine, I seen the water turn to bright Tahitian

[01:31.03] The heart is somewhere on Hawaiian beaches

[01:33.54] Tying pigeons to the giant peaches

[01:35.80] I want the beat to feel like diegesis

[01:38.04] I'm tired of politicians tryna sell us diet Jesus

[01:41.04] That's like dialysis was tryna sell us diabetes

[01:44.04] Act like you was born yesterday and you gon' die a fetus

[01:47.04] The mind's philosophy is old as Thales of Miletus

[01:50.04] The mind is quite elitist, that's why they like choir preachers

[01:53.29] They buy our leaders easier than I can buy a feature

[01:56.28] That's why the genius always end up on the tightest leashes

[01:59.30] That's how I wrote my whole entire thesis

[02:01.54] My heart and flesh are racing, that's why I get complacent

[02:04.53] That's why y'all get impatient, y'all don't get the invitation

[02:07.54] I'm sitting courtside with the nurses during visitation

[02:10.56] Watching the vitals with some popcorn in anticipation
