[Intro: Asha Puthli, Bobby Womack]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
Love me, love me, love me, love me
(Watching, watching)
Love me, love me

[Verse 1: 2D]
To the Moon Cave
Where I bought my tears

Lit the lantern
On my childhood fears
(You must wash your perfume from your body)
If you’re leaving (If you’re leaving)
Don’t make it harder than it is
Let me know (Let me know)
So I can say goodbye
(You must wash your perfume from your body)

[Chorus: 2D]
Ooh, the things I swore I’d never become
And at the vastness of the river
In the cradled light, they’ve done me
(You must wash your perfume from your body)

[Verse 2: 2D, Asha Puthli]
Why am I taking so long?
Why my voice not strong now?
It’s been cut
You will never recognise me again
Have you traveled on a moonbeam?
(You must wash your perfume from your body)

[Chorus: 2D]
Ooh, the things I swore I’d never become

And at the vastness of the river
In the cradled light, they’ve done me, but
Ooh, I need, I need a better bond with you
Oh, but that’s if forever’s coming
Where the atoms gone with you

[Bridge: Jalen Ngonda, Black Thought]
Things I swore I’d never become
Yes, please
Like a broken man
Grinning beginnings
Who realised what he has done
One time from the top

[Verse 3: Black Thought, Trugoy the Dove]
Yo, I can float like a butterfly, gimme any topic
I let it slide
Bet you I’ma float like I’m in the sky, look at how I drop it
When I let the ideas just float up high like a new hot topic, good to be a goat
Only way I float is to treat it like it’s gossip and drop it, yeah, watch this
Yo, I can float like no other god, gimme any topic
I let it ride, bet you I’ma float like I’ve been a vibe, I’ma just drop it, yeah, check it
Yo, I get telescopic for profit
When I float topic to topic
Is it hip hop? Is it Gothic?
Can it fit into the corner pocket?
Is it hovering above the surface?
Is the pain where the megahertz is?
Where the masjid, where the church is?
Are the last days where the earth is?
It’s a movie, listen to me
They have given the permission to me
To move like Mr. Halloumi
If I leave here, don’t pursue me
Let me float topic to topic
From the posh tip to the mosh pit
To the ghosts watching the folks clocking
The most popular optics
Spread it all ’round, from the small town
To the empires, finna fall down
From the energy that brung the wall down
Or the mothership gon’ call down like Orson
The heat gon’ be scorching
The beat gon’ need voices
The sound downright awesome
What downtown like
Different than the sounds y’all like
Lemme break it down for ’em like
Uh, hol’ up

[Outro: Bobby Womack]
Maybe I should just wait, just a little bit
Forgetting bothers me
Haha, ooh
Remember
