Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist - 27 Braids

Clean brake, tougher to make
Ain't a thing they can't name ruffle the mane
Hold your head, cover your face, so disease doesn't spread
She said that I got a son on the way
Made my bed so that where I'ma lay
My worry bones, my heavy head I carry home every day
My mama sayin' that I'll never be alone
Even though she gotta know that I know she dismayed
With the choices I made
The only way forward is unafraid and focused when I'm holdin' these rings
You'll think sober my shoulder and my auntie Elaine
Twenty-seven braids fallin' over my face
My head on straight, my mama closing the gate
And both of them sleep better when they know that I ate
I'm goin' through changes that I couldn't fathom
But growin' pains leave an understanding
I'm no passenger on a plane, precious cargo in a cabin
My whole take on baggage just ain't the same
Don't fall for the fake magic
They came with the David Blaine patterns so we jab and weave
I'm tryna farm up some lavish green leaves with the fam
Lavash bread, sharin' everything with the team
Spreadin' seeds, spillin' drinks for the dead
Godspeed, into the league but I'm still ahead
I found a swing sittin' in the sand
Pushin'

My ancestors turned
To open the door that separates us from our, Creator
But you need no doors to find God, if you believe
Believe? If you believe you are
