By The River Lyrics by Sommy Lovell

By The River

2016

[Refrain: Raven Z. Kennedy]
Father
There's nothing for us out there
(Repeat)
[Verse 1: Sommy Lovell]
Covering ground to find a replacement
I'm food to the pressures this precious life
Would convey at night
I'm doomed ‘cus I need a filter with measures to say it right
Could write wrongs to entice throngs
For signatures from white palms
Off pipe bombs of the chosen
Was told you go from broke to broken
Even when doors can open up
Whether doors to a coupe or doors to the roof
But pause for the truth
When you feel you're holding to nothing
Peel your soul and start running
My baggage been empty
Granted I'll heal and forge into something
But I can see greatness
Among indie and the labels outperforming them pacers
The life I wanted just for self in which Lucifer lace us
Then bring my record to Jesus
Hoping these heavens embrace us
Oh the heavens my fear is falling before he descended
Rescind what destiny's pending
Resending all that I've penned, I'd die without it
Depending on you, relying on this, my life without it
I couldn't fathom before my ending
I pray that you hear me
[Refrain: Raven Z. Kennedy]
Father
There's nothing for us out there
(Repeat)
[Verse 2: Sommy Lovell]
As I look through your darkened window, see my silho
See I'm jaded
My will to pick from the willow vanished
Mirror says I'm faded, I know
It's heavy on you
Pillows show how long you've waited, I know
Working to sun up, minus my time so I'd get the sum up
Back of the passenger activated remind me
This dirt on each other's why we don't step on a heart
With outsoles, crazy them dollars open you up
That nectar opens you up
What you consume is my crutch
Won't ever leave from my lips what I saw in flames
When I ran from the light
Tell me where these pills go if I ran through the night
I land on the road, can’t hand me my sight
I knew from the go how to shift to this height
How I'm gon' take it to a new direction
And how the game got us on both ends of the spectrum
How that speculation goes to no respect, to spectating
I reckon we're making a choice we might regret
Don't neglect it when you're facing the gunner
Reckless, protect us
I'm praying you're saving me for the summer
[Refrain: Raven Z. Kennedy]
Father
There's nothing for us out there
(Repeat)
[Verse 3: Sommy Lovell]
And I'm praying for my demise
Getting too good at lies
My last request had revived me, I feel it inside
I hear what they're saying, they'll never catch me
Feeling my rise, think that you're gaining
You'll never pass me
Never needed confirming or making sure they accept me
It go from 'Nigga I don't need you' to 'Homie don't forget me'
Couple of years'll tell you but buy anything they sell you
Know what I'm poised to be even after I say I knew it
Will you then poison me or just wait for myself to do it
Like you know I'ma leave you
Score the salad, they'll want cuts as if I been dark Caesar
But you can't kill me or throw to the corner
Forget about it, fact that I got it was resonating forever
Only I can pull lever or piece you together
A piece of me is holy
How long before they say they miss the old me?
I guess it's good that they don't see past surface
'Cus I'm not worth it and we're not working
And I ain't deserving even if he owes me
Even if he owes me
Even if you owe me
[Refrain 2: Raven Z. Kennedy]
Don't run away from me
I need you to say
You won't take this from me
I need you today
(Repeat)
[Verse 4: Raven Z. Kennedy]
I'm wide awake for the moment
But no more
Will I just stay for what's coming
Said no more
Climax shows you can't take it
And mileage shows you won't make it
The pilot knows I won't see you again
