Mo and YaYa
Lyrics
Verse 1
Mo don't smile much
He just walk in smoke
Glock on his hip
And a grin that broke
They call him when it’s bad
When the room get red
He the first one in
And the last one left
Caramel skin
Cold eyes, hard hands
Whole block know his name
Like a curse in sand
Crew trust his aim
Not his soul, though
He don't do soft
He don't do slow
Pre-Chorus
Then YaYa lit sage in the back room
Hair wrapped up, eyes on the black moon
She looked at that man and the fear moved
Like, damn, why he feel like home too?
Chorus
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
Mo, Mo, don't let go
She held the storm in her bones (Mo, Mo)
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
Even with ghosts at the door
She said, "I know who you are" (I know who you are)
Verse 2
She read bones in ash
He read threats in a glance
She said, "Baby, your past got teeth"
He said, "That's not a dance"
Sage in the bowl
Smoke up to the ceiling
He stood real still
Like he hated the feeling
Her hands shook once
Then she took his wrist
Said, "Ain't no curse
That can win like this"
He laughed one time
Low and rough and tired
Like a gunshot dog
Trying not to bite
Pre-Chorus
Then the block got loud
And the night got near
Old crew came back
With that hungry stare
Mo reached for steel
YaYa reached for prayer
Two kinds of war
In the same воздух there
Chorus
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
Mo, Mo, don't let go
She held the storm in her bones (Mo, Mo)
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
Even with ghosts at the door
She said, "I know who you are" (I know who you are)
Bridge
He was born in the fire
Built by the wreck
Every yes in his life
Had a knife in its neck
But she spoke to the hurt
Not the legend they sold
Said, "You ain't just violence
You been carrying cold"
Final Chorus
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
Mo, Mo, don't let go
She held the storm in her bones (Mo, Mo)
Mo, Mo, don't let go
YaYa, stay close, stay close
If the world want a monster
She the one made him whole (made him whole)
