The Healing Component - Mick Jenkins
You wanna know about the healing component
No I know listen
I mean it's whatever
All you're doing is asking me about the healing component
So whatever you wanna say
Like I said I never explained it to you before either
You actually did but okay use this
You don't remember it
Yes I do
Alright what's it about
Alright so uh what is what is the healing component
Aw you tell me
Lately a nigga been meditated
Probably overly medicated
But it's heaven sent I'm not hesitating
No I no longer have a problem with niggas
who act like they've never hated
I mean at least you know now
And for those still looking at me sideways
you gotta stop sleeping on the profile
Jawline let 'em know that I can take a punch
Still gotta beat 'em to the punch though
Started drinking water at the party
I ain't even gonna front
Seen him put something in the punch bowls
So many truths go untold
So much proof that something big's
about to unfold on our asses
These boxes are premium and so are the mathematics
You don't have to add it I'm a natural at it
Spread love try to combat the sadness
Got loud to match this
Dose of reality lit she hit like jabs from cassius
These titans clashing
Baby you should grab some glasses
Check you a new perspective
Get a new directive
Fuck fucking up a check is a new collective
And they got it for the free screaming
THC THC
For your grace and mercy father we thank thee
For this THC THC
For your grace and mercy father we thank thee
For this water for this water
for this truth for this truth
Tryna put some love into everything I do
Thanking you for this THC THC THC THC
I'm not always talking marijuana
when I'm referencing these trees trees
Always talking water but
that's just the truth you gotta read between the lines
And got you sniffing coke
off hundred dollar bills 'llar bills
We sip the lean we pop the pills the pills
Why everything that's supposed
to be bad gotta be such a thrill
Why is praising mediocrity such a skill
It bothers me
When these niggas with moms below poverty lines
Get to play like they socrates
I play like apostrophes
I mean I'm over the words unless they verbs
That's when we see curves like sundresses in June
The politicians addressing the youth
Talking the loudest and smoke in the booth
Show me the proof
Who puffing the love
Who wrote up the truths
He is what is figuratively we only smoke gas
Who rolled up the fruits
No oops just smoke 'em out
Brought the water had these niggas drowning and choking out
Tryna spread the healing component
This love through the culture now like
THC THC
For your grace and mercy father we thank thee
For this THC THC
For your grace and mercy father we thank thee
For this water for this water for this truth for this truth
Tryna put some love into everything I do
Thanking you for this THC THC THC THC
See this had you smoking on a regular no
Regular I know that
And it'll to get you high it'll to get you high
It'll get you high it'll take you higher
This ain't what you smoking on a regular
Smoking on smoking on a regular
This ain't what you smoking on a regular
You see it's really all love
And I never claimed all well my nigga we can put it in stone
And I ain't ever claimed all guilt
But I know if it was me in that garden
I probably woulda let all hell loose too
Who knew that a young black man might just swoop through
With a new roots crew
And the first time like moon walk
When you know you got something foolproof
Free love is THC and all this tree get wrapped in truth
I know
This ain't what you smoking on a regular
Smoking on
Smoking on a regular
This ain't what you smoking on a regular
When people talk about love you really only think about the
The pretty parts the romantic parts of love
People don't think about things like loving themselves
And what that takes and that you have to know yourself
To love yourself and how difficult of a battle that may be
Uh I don't think everybody even agrees on
What love is or what love looks like
Whether it be in the street or personally
Um and that's just a conversation that needs to be had and
That's just what I wanna do is start a conversation
I think it's it's it's setting myself up
To be able to have a lot to talk about
And different angles to come from
Uh musically and lyrically and
And from a point of story telling and
And I think it's just something
That we need a lot more of anyway
Whether it be just a conversation or actual acts of love
You know what...
