Warm Enough - Donnie Trumpet, The Social Experiment

Who are you to tell me

I’m not warm enough for summertime?

I know that I get beside myself

But you don’t know me like the sun

You’ve never seen my horizon

If I was everything I never was

Drugs got me bubbly suddenly mumbling

Simile meant to be for you now

The futile go fishing for moon over roof top

A new style for praying to everything I ever loved

My black boy outer space looking like a rain child

But my body move like the sun

Go run til 'em rainbow we painted it 50 shades of grey

Stones across the lake, the house in the house

Deceptive carnations, our wedding we announced

On Sunday for the holy of it

Solely covet me and you, for you and I

Are blissfully tethered to simple redeeming

When sadness gets worse and we don’t know why

Our city is bleeding for crimson

I don’t protest, I just dance in my shadows

Hallow be thy empty

When my name don’t sing, shallow waters

Under bridges don’t forget 'bout me

Who are you to love me and not call me by my name?

I’m sunny, I’m sunny, just like you… Noname

Like the sun, like the sun

Who are you to tell me I can’t love you

The way mothers love daughters?

The way Mary was closest to Joseph

And babies is close to The Father

You don’t know me and love got a secret hand shake

And mad inside jokes

I could tell it’s knock knock when my heart beatbox

Use your inside vox

Who are you to tell me I don’t want you

The way flesh wants freedom

The way greed love need, the way kings need kingdoms

You don’t know what I know, what I’m capable of

What I slaved for and traded in favours

And gave up for you what I gave up for love

Who are you to tell me

I’m not warm enough for summertime?

I know that I get beside myself

But you don’t know me like the sun

You’ve never seen my horizon

You like the flower that I won’t let die

Right before your petals start to wilt

I choose to give you one last try

Fill your vase up with water, refusin' to neglect you

Like your father, so I promise that it won’t run dry

Good intentions 'cause I wanna see us both fly

But I often put me first and I been wonderin' why

I know you probably think you’re blessed

To have a wonderful guy

And that’s the truth but at the same time a wonderful lie

Cause to me you’re a dime and I’m still a nickel

And you know niggas say that every coin got two sides

Well if you knew both minds not sure you’d like what you find

I made mistakes, I want to tell you but can’t make up my mind

As I’m writing this I see a red balloon in the sky

And to me that’s a sign tellin' me that these lines

Were meant to be written, repentin' in the form of a rhyme

I know the Lord’s a forgiver, hope he’ll forgive me in time

Who are you to tell me

I’m not warm enough for summertime?

I know that I get beside myself

But you don’t know me like the sun

You’ve never seen my horizon
