Less Is More (feat. Skye Marie) [Prod. By Dreamlife]

from Paradox Chapter Two by Karim Rushdy

/

lyrics

Verse 1
life was a wild horse but now i found stirrups
cause baby Mira, you make me feel like some lazy syrup
i just wanna hold your nearer
cause the feeling is love when you make the clouds up above clear up
and you already know i love your mamma too
she’s got that beautiful smile,
And ain’t no harm with two
what i mean is maybe soon you’ll have a baby brother
you can help change his dipes and when it’s right
you can chase each other - under the shade of lovers
a.k.a mom and dad really love each other
and baby girl, you're being born into a world full of hate
but being insecure is not a fact that you should face
so i’ll be there everyday to remind you on your way
that you’re strong and you’re noble as i kiss you on your face
and you should know that as your mother held my neck through labour
i realized we were just another couple God favoured
God saved us, and not just on paper
cause literally the gift of life is what God gave us
so from the womb to the tomb we should give God praises.

Chorus, Skye Marie
i’ve held you close for so many nights
and i’ll hold you for so many more
this world has got so many flashing lights
but baby less is more

Verse 2
can you believe the headlines?
feels like it’s either death or oppressed minds
or right, you can't read or understand this yet
i forget sometimes. one of my many flaws
i’ll do my best to let you how i’m imperfect
but not on purpose, i’ve been working
on self-improvement but not just for myself i've clued in
to a greater Cause with laws for a selfless movement
so many nights holding you close in my deepest thoughts
the way your momma loves you it’s like reason stops
and the way your daddy loves you, well he'll love till his breathing stops.
and far beyond. when i see you with my eyes, you're that baby that we're dealing with frantically
but when i see you with my soul, you a gift from God because you, you made us family.
Comment-- This is beautiful.- Grandma :)
Chorus

Verse 3
and when i tuck you in,
i think of how this whole world is gonna wanna suck you in.
to its ugly empty loveless whirlwind. so you need to be the girl in
the eye of tempest with the toughest skin.
guiding others through the tunnels of life
already with your smile you radiate bundles of light
in fact you’re hard to miss like when there’s lightning and there’s thunder at night
so when those lights flash with that temptation
and give you a temporary sense of elevation
just know that those are truly dark forces
turning fresh meadows into charred orchards
that's why i’m reinforcing
that less is more if you wanna be free
the whole universe was made with two letters B and E
if the cornerstone of happiness is sacrifice
then including you and your mom, everyday i’m happy twice
