SPILLAGE VILLAGE

"Shiva"

(Jordan Bryant / Olu Fann / Eian Parker / Destin Route / Ian Welch)

feat. Benji. & Jurdan Bryant

[Chorus: Doctur Dot]
I got more than fifty shades of gray (I got more than fifty shades of gray)
Livin' in a house of blues (Livin' in a house of blues)
Takin' it day by day (Takin' it day by day)
Livin' any way I choose (Livin' it any way I choose)
Oh, you heard that I'm a rolling stone (Heard that I'm a rolling stone)
But you never know which way I move (You never know which way I move)
Way, baby open up the window (Open up the window)
All depends on how the wind blow (Oh)

[Verse 1: Jurdan Bryant]
A million ways to love, my nigga, choose one
Or die tryin', I can admit, that's intimate, I been defiant
Realizin' I'm more human than Zeus cupid flyin'
If I don't love my brother like I love my work
Question everythin' I'm on, question all my worth
My success is yours, the trajectory of adolescent black boys
When you were in the car with a mask on
Tryna mask all insecurities and purities, fact
I was a curious cat, but they killed him, if
Black lives matter, it feel good to be black
But you know where we at (Know where we at)

[Chorus: Doctur Dot]
I got more than fifty shades of grey (I got more than fifty shades of grey)
Livin' in a house of blues (Livin' in a house of blues)
Takin' it day by day (Takin' it day by day)
Livin' any way I choose (Livin' any way I choose)
Oh, you heard that I'm a rolling stone (Heard that I'm a rolling stone)
But you never know which way I move (You never know which way I move)
Way, baby open up the window (Open up the window)
All depends on how the wind blow (Oh)

[Verse 2: Johnny Venus]
Now that we're sittin' here reminiscin'
I just picked a pen up to mention
Maybe illustrate my tears on construction paper
Cut it out, put it on the fridge to save for later
Open up, I'm so cold inside from what's happened to us
Maybe your daddy died, or you're hooked on drugs
Stuck in the house of blues
Can't find a way out, don't know which route to choose
It's gettin' pretty hot in here
The hotbox done turned to a coffin
I'm coughin', don't do that shit often
Checkin' my pockets, I lost it
I need me someone to talk to
I need me someone to lean on
All on the floor, I'm a mess
I can't let this shit get to me

[Verse 3: Benji.]
Don't know which route to choose
Which sight to see or which fight to lose
What's right for me in my fight for you
Might frighten things, might write the blues
It ain't my fault you ain't keepin' up with last place
You can't last long livin' fast paced
This a track meet, not a drag race
I'ma do my dance on a bad day
Still got the keys to my feet (Vroom)
And maybe that's just how it goes
I'ma take my broken records, finna turn them into gold
I been searchin' for the answer, better look inside your soul
It be right above your lip, my nigga, everybody knows

[Verse 4: JID]
Sterilize cold water from a tap
Degradation in my neighborhood, celebrate the current state
Of hate between the acres, separated by the paper
Goods, water, food, schools to news are the clues we choose
True illusions, house of balloons, house of blues
Lollapalooza, in the crowd aloof, alone
Feel like a loser, for lack of better words
A fool followin' fools, I'm bustin' a move when the wind blows (Blue)

[Verse 5: Doctur Dot]
Still tryna figure how it's s'posed to be
Unfortunately, you never told to me
I just float around this rock like an astronaut
Franchise player, just another mascot
You're amused, I'm confused by your fascination
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder, ain't it?
Had a girl that I loved, she was number one
These days downgraded to just acquaintance
Ultimatums and new beginnings, what you building
I just felt the breeze come through in between me and you
So, I guess that I be on my way

[Outro:]
Hey, yo, hey, woah, hey, yo, hey, woah
Hey, yo, hey, woah, hey, yo, hey, woah
