lyrics

“FOUL RAG AND BONE SHOP!”

“What?”

I got every right to be right.
Every right to be wrong.
I got every right to sing this song.
I got every right to grieve
At the stations of the cross.
Every right to grieve for what we've lost.

I am full with pride
I am full with art
I done lost my mind
But I found my heart.

I got every right to be smart.
Every right to be dumb.
I got every right to fight for crumbs.
So I'mma get proud!
I'm finna get loud about what we've lost.
I'm finna grieve at the stations of the cross.

Down the rabbit hole
For the sake of art
I done lost my soul
But I found my heart.

I am cruel to be kind
We are what we are
I done lost my mind
But I found my heart

We are what we are.

O my God, my Redeemer, behold me here at Thy feet.
From the bottom of my heart I am sorry for all my sins,
Because by them I have offended Thee
And I’d rather die than offend Thee again.

When doing good Is performance art
I fell for a fool
For a fallen star
I done lost my cool
Almost lost this guitar
I lost it all
When I found my heart.
I lost it all
When I found my heart.
My cold, cold heart.
My cold cold heart.
My cold, dark heart.
My busted ass heart.
My cold ass heart.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say. ... more
