nosso caminho na terra é só para virarmos consciência cósmica, espírito de luz, falou poucas e poucas 

Saba has one of the most refreshing voices in hip-hop. You feel his pain. 

If I had a dollar every time I failed, I'd be a rich nigga

Few Good Things

At the time of making this record I was beginning to realize how big of a hold fears actually had on me. With big decisions to make, I was never sure if I was doing the right thing. Fearing if I was actually doing enough. I’m saying we’re embedded with this “irrational fear”. The song takes this concept and kind of turns it slightly abstract by assigning a character to “fearmonger”. I’ve never made a record that sounded anything like this and part of the fun of releasing music is to create worlds sonically and have people trust you to show them around your own imagination.

LYRICS
(Saba)
Okay the money on the way it’ll lay by the first 
Adolescence I would curse on the way to the church 
My career just turned to cursive how I connect the words
Ain’t grow up with much of shit but still it coulda been worse 
He ain’t focused on her pants he want get in her purse 
I need it all in advance if they book me to work 
From we barely had a chance left the crib on alert 
To a crib with alarms and security perks 
Insecurity hurts the same way jewelry works 
So if you paying to flex, pay your security first 
No point in paying for whips to ride a funeral hearse 
We be prepared for the best but also fearing the worst 

Okay every nigga that I know is scared of going broke 
I know if I fall back down ain’t no one there to lend me rope 
Okay and every nigga that I know takes care of so and so 
So ain’t no option option option 
You best go make more

(Saba and Daoud)
Cause fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

When fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

(Saba)
And scared money never made money what I was taught 
But once you make money you’ll be more afraid than us all 
My grandfather drove a corvette convertible car
He passed away and left his will to the fate of the stars 
I made a cool mmmmm all for saying a bar 
I was scared to spend a dime like what if I die tomorrow 
Would my fam intervene for a bag of the g’s 
In a black model 3 sheesh passenger seat 
Would my fans leave if I can’t put asses in seats 
If I log out an app or I lack a retweet 
I’m just scared to go back didn’t have shit to eat 
Half my bread go to taxes the actual thieves 

Okay every nigga that I know is scared of going broke 
I know if I fall back down ain’t no one there to lend me rope 
Okay and every nigga that I know takes care of so and so 
So ain’t no option option option 
You best go make more

(Saba and Daoud)
Cause fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

When fearmonger live amongst us 
I feel hunger hunger but guess 
I feel something at least 
I need something to eat 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

I’m dropping pounds 
I hear my stomach growl 

(Daoud)
Yes fearmonger lurk among us
I done clawed my way up 
But that bottoms callin me down
Slip and I’ll drown

lyrics:

Oh oh oh oh oh, 
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Cause

[Hook]
I’m tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine
 
Tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

[Verse 1]: femdot.
Cause I’m trying to get all of mine how I never had it, (bag lady)
we was born with hella baggage, (hold on wait)
we grew up with n****s who was bagging it, toe tagging it, 
crazy thing we used to play tag with them but the path different, 
some are stagnant, cause the block got no cash in it, 
gave it to the police who attacking,
I found a recipe to get active 
and slide through the front 
and then let all of mine through the back of it
ride with my team, 
ride thru the chi with my ting, 
let her see the life that we deemed 
pristine back in our teens, 
everything ain’t what it seems 
you know what I mean, 
brother held on his first gun when he was ten 
I ain’t touch one til thirteen I was late 
used to look to the sky for a change 
now we get change and shoot for the stars look at the aim (bow!)

[Hook]:
I’m tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine
 
Tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

[verse 2]: Saba

Trying to get all mine and I never had it, (never had it)
I rapped instead hooped I was better at it (yeah)
did it independent I used that advantage
took my niggas to the pin 
today I’m still mad about it 
but I make it happen in a flash like a DC comic 
peace be upon us
four years ago I ain’t have shit but a hundred and fifty dollars 
now we one with the win
the city taught us no pity parties for anybody 
we got dealt our cards and didn’t feel sorry 
so I hike the price up and didn’t look back
this the kid from 290 highway robbery 
no Kylie colleagues though highly Hollywood 
shit faker than buying bodies 
they’ll put money on your head they’ll buy your body, 
gunshot proximity by your body (bow!)

[Hook]:

I’m tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine
 
Tryna make it happen at the right time, tryna make it hit for a lifetime something for the clique for the lifeline
Grind all you want it ain’t like mine
 

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe

Open your heart
Don’t throw it away
Put it in my arms
I’ll make sure that it’s safe
