27 Braids Lyrics by Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist

[Verse]
Clean brake, tougher to make
Ain’t a thing they can’t name ruffle the mane
Hold your head, cover your face, so disease doesn’t spread
She said that I got a son on the way
Make my bed so that’s where I’ma lay
My worry bones and my heavy ass head I carry home every day
My momma sayin’ that I’ll never be alone
Even though she gotta know that I know she dismayed
With the choices I made
The only way forward is unafraid and focused when I’m holdin’ these rings
You’ll think sober my shoulder and my auntie a lame
Twenty-seven braids fallin’ over my face
My head on straight, my momma closin’ the gate
And both of them sleep better when they know that I ate
I’m goin’ through changes that I couldn’t fathom
But growin’ pains leave an understanding
No, I’m no passenger on a plane, precious cargo in a cabin
My whole take ol’ baggage just ain’t the same
Don’t fall for the fake magic
It came with the David Blaine patterns
We jabbin’ jab and weave
I’m tryna farm up some lavish green leaves with the fam
Lavash bread, sharin’ everything with the team
Sprints feet, spill a drink for the dead
Godspeed, into the league
But I’m still ahead
I found a swing sittin’ in the sand
Pushin’

[Outro]
My ancestors turned
To open a door that separates us from our… Creator
But you need no doors to find God. If you believe–
Believe? If you believe you are…
