Amp Fiddler ft. Raphael Saadiq - Take It

Verse 1:
I lived my youth in shadows, felt my spirit bound
Couldn't trust the moments, with a fate I'd known around
I would insist, on a different twist
That a young heart must pursue, so much more to do
Than exist in the confines, where they said it would
I was reaching out with my own hands, hoping for some good
In this harsh world, I learned to truly stand, taking my own command
I'd weathered all that stuff, the cruel, endless bluff
And now it's time to rise for me, yeah, just for me

Pre-Chorus:
And you could easily gamble your entire self away
Minute after minute, and the fleeting day by day
You face the shadows, or you turn and walk away
It's a new dawn on a broken day
And a warm breath of life, just for me
And it was always good

Chorus:
I know that the shadows once were swords of a fighter
I know that the darkness felt like cruel, endless war
I know that illusions meant a price on my very soul
But that's not the true form of my heart
Oh, that's not the shape
The honest shape of my heart
No, that's not the true form of my heart

Verse 2:
I'd always held so tightly, when nothing truly felt safe
He gave me belief, to find my own convictions, to escape
Every risky choice I made, I paid back and more
Watch the pages turn and let the story unfold for me
I didn't need to settle with the life that they had dealt to me
I'd write it back, 'cause it's not the path it had to be
He saw the girl hiding, under pain and fright
He was my anchor, in the darkest of nights

Pre-Chorus:
And you could easily gamble your entire self away
Minute after minute, and the fleeting day by day
You face the shadows, or you turn and walk away
It's a new dawn on a broken day
And a warm breath of life, just for me
And it was always good

Chorus:
I know that the shadows once were swords of a fighter
I know that the darkness felt like cruel, endless war
I know that illusions meant a price on my very soul
But that's not the true form of my heart
Oh, that's not the shape
The honest shape of my heart
No, that's not the true form of my heart

Bridge:
They might call it wrong, say I was lost, and played a part
But lonely children often grow with a yearning in their heart
This world is filled with shadows, and moments shining bright
And love can find a pathway, through the longest night
I walked away to bloom alone, to find my inner grace
But our bond endured through time and space
He found his muses in my pain, I found my voice in him
A complex truth, a precious win

Pre-Chorus 2:
And you could easily gamble your entire self away
Minute after minute, and the fleeting day by day
You face the shadows, or you turn and walk away
It's a new dawn on a broken day
And a warm breath of life, just for me
And I'm finding peace now

Chorus:
I know that the shadows once were swords of a fighter
I know that the darkness felt like cruel, endless war
I know that illusions meant a price on my very soul
But that's not the true form of my heart
Oh, that's not the shape
The honest shape of my heart
No, that's not the true form of my heart

Outro:
My heart... yeah...
It's pure...

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS UNFINISHED AND I RECORDED THIS BACK WHEN I WAS USING MY HEADPHONES TO DO GUIDE VOCALS!!
So i produced this a while back, I wasnt doing it to release but merely for my own personal jamming purposes...(wanted to see if I could get my 'Robert Glasper on' lol.. but a few people heard me working on it and wanted me to release it...
I havent looked at it in a while but I guess I will update it at some point
I guess im learning that not everything that can be heard by the public HAS to be perfect #hardlessonsforaperfectionist
Sooooo....DONT JUDGE....just enjoy the process...
