Clear the Air Lyrics

Yeah

Look, a cutie gave me lapis lazuli

Hopin' it would cure me

Use to croak before I opened up my throat

Sweatin' profusely

I was nervous 'bout my depths

'Cause adults would just project

Like androgyny's an anomaly

And I would just deflect

My thoughts used to hang around my neck

Chokin' my tongue

Runnin' a marathon in circles

Spiraling, leavin' me stunned but

To clear the air

I'mma share some things I rarely vocalize

My anger was so internal

'Til it externalized

It felt unwise to socialize

So I just stayed small

Had to focus on patience

So my voice could evolve

No matter how correct I came

The disrespect remained the same

People refused to say my name

Micro-aggressions changed my frame

My first name is Lakeeyscia

Not Lakesha

It's so draining tryna correct y'all

Every time I see ya

Middle name "Ariel" not Ariel

Lion of God, yeah

No extraterrestrial

Uhh

Time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

I said it's time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

I said it's time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

I know it's time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

Look, a loner in my past

Nomadic by habit

Abandonment issues wreaking havoc

I had to combat it

But I found myself entrapped in action

Based on matching baggage

Low-key sought out the dramatic

Then act surprised when it happened

Tragic

But now the traffic has been cleared

No congestion here

My besties bring out the best in me

Intent sincere

It's like I fear no fear

This love hits different

Yeah, I refuse to get distant

Connection is my vision

I met the brightest lights

When I shadow boxed the ghosts I hosted

My own potions hocus pocused my focus

I was chokin'

Yeah, on my deepest emotions

But now I'm floatin' on air

Floatin' on air

Floatin', floatin' on air

Yeah, open and aware

I attract miracles easily

All my homies love me

Even when they don't agree with me

No foes hide in shadows

Disguised as light poles

Convos beneath the cosmos

Lessen my load

Yeah, uh

Always in rhythm

Pushin' to pull each other up

We being honest with a delivery

That doesn't cut

If you don't get it, it's fine

We just on different quests

We resonate with divine timing

So we stay blessed

Yeah

Time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

I said it's time to clear the air

No need to react

To every act

Cause I'mma be at

Where my feet at

Yeah

(Oooh baby)
