No Lie - JulS, KnuckS, XamVolo

We learnt to love ourselves until we were full

Until we did not need yours

Until we realised our own was enough

We will not apologise for being the night sky

Black and broken and beautiful

Our own type of constellation

Don’t you know light lives in dark places too?

Yo (Juls baby)

I ain’t even gonna lie

I need you on the sly

But feelings get tekky when i’m dealing with my pride

All the things you said were trying to lead me to your mind

But to really see the signs I had to read between the lines

Our ting runs deep they ain’t gonna understand it

And they don’t know I see their compliments are underhanded

Now mandem moved all mad all over sudden don’t wanna panic

Coz i’m coming for your back like I ain’t gonna fuckin' have it

Subtle but erratic, it’s only coz of you though

I ain’t even plan it had to rule it out like pluto

Got me staying static just to guarantee that you grow

And you know this shit’s the truth

Coz unlike your bredrins I ain’t telling

No lie, I need what’s precious to you

Comfort in your darkness beauty humble me too, no lie

Show me my journey’s in vain

Run fingers through your history and learn my real name, no lie

Onsite, each day

Took me way too long to understand what got me, no lie

No lie, each day

Run fingers through your history and learn my real name, no lie

I don’t see mother nature in the landscape

Portrait of my history

Could never let them paint a portrait into your dynasty

There’s wisdom in your majesty and mystery

God is a black woman and the universe is part of her infinity

Supple at the soil of the earth you gave birth to

Honey in your heart it’s golden and full of virtue

Last of the flowers to blossom but you’re the first through

Blackest of the berries I vow to never desert

Your generational love (your generational love)

So I never felt more safe than when I was placed in her bust

She healed the hate with a hug mama walking without soul

But you recognise the touch when you feel the rays of the sun (feel the rays of

the sun)

Sweet Lord, God just don’t see no flaws

Kindness 'til she came to the door

Honest i’ll forever be yours

Teach me, how to love like you love yourself

Coz I see no evil speak none too around you I don’t see nothing else, no lie

Sweet Lord, God just don’t see no flaws

Kindness 'til she came to the door

Honest i’ll forever be yours

Teach me, how to love like you love yourself

Coz I see no evil speak none too around you I don’t see nothing else, no lie
