If God Had Legs

Lyrics for If God Had Legs

Say not I have found the truth, but rather I have found a truth Say not I have found the path of the soul, say Rather I have met the soul walking upon my path For the soul walks upon all paths The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals In my case, self-harm brought peace It was written on my face, I got a calm you can't breach I reach for the stars, I'm a preacher of the bars My guard let down, not a savior nor a martyr Navy ball like Vince Carter Honey dipping split decisions, I ain't begging for your pardon Nigga, I'm an artist, I'm better than when I started That's a given, met my limits when I nearly had departed Free the figure from the stone like the arms that I was carving in Feelings I was harboring, festering Mama said a loss is not a deficit The depths of it, my heart is where the treasure sit I'ma play the back like Gary Neville did Said it is I got demons I ain't letting in Floating on the surface, have you ever seen a feather swim? Niggas been marked since the first day ever, man I ain't going back or going deeper than I ever went The levels that I never been True feels, too real like I was pedaling Life is but a will and death is just a genesis Don't cry at my grave is what my brother up in Heaven said I am not there, I didn't die, my foreverness Put me back together, I will rise up out the depths again Surrender as an empath, receiver of the messages Heaven sent, dare to ask the giver if he ever bled If God had legs like the trunks of the trees And the feet were the roots as they sunk into beneath If my eyes couldn't see and my lungs couldn't breathe If my heart didn't beat and I was freed from the grasp of my grief I was gasping for air or something lasting to keep Grandma said I was his heir, another path to repeat Seen his spirit on the stairs and understood what living means Your heart should know in silence the Secrets of the days and the nights But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge You would know in words that which you have always known in thought You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams And it is well you should The hidden wellspring of your soul must Needs rise and run murmuring to the sea And the treasure of your infinite Depths would be revealed to your eyes But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line For self is a sea boundless and measureless
