Flying Lotus - Black Balloons Reprise Lyrics






Let's take a nice, deep breath
Slowly exhale
And take a nice, deep breath

The Big Bang happened when the black balloon ignited
I feel the pain shoulder to shoulder as I was knighted
The night turns to day and my days don't seem the brightest
It's like itis, I wanna take a bite out of what life is
If the President fuck around and piss off ISIS
Bury me in blueberry bills, jewels, and ices
Let's connect from mind to mind
Lies are on the rise, increasin', bigger size
Hard to victimize when evil's idolized
Inside my battered mind, I have visions of bein' broke
A broken man writin' words of wisdom inside these notes
Shattered and lost, chatterin' talk, blabberin' off
Grabbin' the cross, telling Jesús nothing matters at all, ugh
The black balloon floats, the black balloon flies
The black balloon pops, the black balloon dies
I must be the black balloon and
The children of the world always meets a doomed end
The earth will soon end
We all perish, all parents, all kids, all buried
Cemetery, ceremonious, find me at my loneliest
Life is the ugliest bitch I ever messed with
But she quick to down that nut back like Nesquik
Never try to take my life, you get your chest hit
Countin' paper with Nyyjerya 'til my flesh split
Uh, uh, uh

We all cry
The day the black balloon explode, we all die
Nobody couldn't handle the truth, we all lie
Then wait to see the real exposed
'Til then, I kick that funky shit until my casket closed
We all cry (Can you save me, baby?)
The day the black balloon explode, we all die
Nobody couldn't handle the truth, we all lie
Then wait to see the real exposed (Ooh-ahh)
'Til then, I kick that funky shit until my casket closed
We all cry

Ooh-ahh
Can you save me, baby?
Ooh-ahh, ahh-ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh
Ooh-ahh, ahh
Can you save me, baby?
Ooh-ahh

  10. J.... T....

    I feel the pain🙌

  11. m.... h....

    "black balloons" it is a metaphore for "the univers/space" ? or i'm just overthinking and i'm a marmot ?

    m.... h....

    sorry, i'm french, so i don't understand all the lyrics

    m.... h....

    and i guess, twin peaks is involved

    m.... h....

    and maybe i'm a psycho who talk too much when i overthink

  12. E.... H....

    I wish capital steez was still around :/ this sounds like some shit he woulda spit to and obliterated

  13. A.... H....

    Props to Madlib who originally brought this sample to life in beat form. And damn. I've been getting into Denzel Curry more, and he seems way underrated. Hope he has a successful career moving forward, I really enjoy all of his guest spots and have been warming up to his solo work more and more

  14. S.... ....

    All of the sounds on this recording were fired directly onto the tape via a pink laser beam, emanating from my third, or ajna eye. This occurred shortly after higher dimensional elves had tampered with my brain, while I was asleep.https://soundcloud.com/esimmonds/magic-machine-elf-music-part-1

  24. J.... J....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Wn5jDw6N0 ......Random I know but it was of a a time when true talent did not have to tap into the macabre or horror or demonic ... I am not religious but Flying Lotus Great aunt Alice Coltrane flew a different flight she was on a spiritual journey and now everything seem to use the dark and devil to provoke and be seen as true art ... why ? light and happy is not cool or what ?

  25. k.... A....
