Skin In The Game - Nahko and Medicine For The People

Wide awake

And I know why it’s taken me so long

To reclaim my power

The hurting made me strong

I’ve lost count how many times I have changed

There’s an art to having skin in the game

Been afraid

Of running out of fucks to give

Lowest place

Considering where I have been

It’s the simple truth that one day I will die

Or the courage it takes for a warrior to cry

It’s like the song I was singing

Sitting on my bedroom floor

Or that familiar feeling like I’ve been here before

Well, you can certainly shake me

But, no can break me, na na

Yeah, you can certainly shake me

But, no can break me, na na…

Do do do…

What I want

Will rarely meet at what I need

Nothin’s wrong

With setting better boundaries

Like the softness you earn when you break your own bread

Or that playful heart that became your first defence

Well, I know yes I know, I sure as shit know I turned some kind of page

And I will, yes I will, learn to love the side of me that holds all the shame

When I gave myself permission to feel the pain

There’s an art to having skin in the game

Well, there is something so sacred

Or perfect in placement, uh huh

Cause I am buzzing in beauty and feasting on honey alright

Well, you can certainly shake me

But, no can break me, na na

Yeah, you can certainly shake me

But, no can break me, na na…

Do do do…
