Indigo - Malik

I am better than you think unless know me well;

I’ve been caught up telling lonely tales like he won’t prevail;

Underhanded figures understand that they can over sale;

I would be so afraid to fall if I could only fail;

Every L is just a new angle;

Crossing over all these bridges they got bruised ankles;

I’m too able, they too playful too big for they britches, I’m too stable;

Got me hoarse, tryna speak over the fools fables;

Never boxed in, staying locked in, Sarah McLachlan;

I’m an angel when Im letting God in, but all the pain will not end;

Look at all the strained that I’ve penned, like a Pinterest;

Ducking words from the temptress, in her mouth like a dentist;

I need grace, are you braced for the stakes of the chase?;

Can you look in the face of distaste?;

Will you place all your faith in this place?;

Just give me space now;

If you wondering why I can fly, I’m indigo;

And if you get left behind then, that’s the way it go;

If you wondering why I can fly, I’m indigo;

And if you get left behind, you get left behind;

I grew up, only color on the whole canvas;

Now I’m feeling like the greatest on this whole campus;

I always question why run they mouth, with no answers;

Deaf to what they talking about see I am taking no chances;

Life is a blackboard;

Tryna make a mark, alley-oop off the backboard;

Ain’t no time for layups cause I gotta be that sure;

These points count, till the horns sound, if they hating point em out to the

black boy;

Reminds me of a younger me, sagging my dungarees;

Rocking a durag hiding what’s bugging me that was my summary, who are you to

test?;

Plotting on moving to Budapest I’m so hungry;

Sweeter than Sunny D, live from the beast that couldn’t stomach me;

Couple heads on the mantle;

You gon say what I can’t do?;

I’m outta pocket a scramble?

Thats a pair of lies I can’t move;

I think it’s too much to handle;

I think too much it’s a scandal;

Thats why they Childish as Lando;

I think is all in the plan though;

If you wondering why I can fly, I’m indigo;

And if you get left behind then, that’s the way it go;

If you wondering why I can fly, I’m indigo;

And if you get left behind, you get left behind;
