Noah's Ark - Mike Posner

Open your eyes

Make room for a little sweet love

The Lord is all around you, child

And that’s what you’re made of

Remember…

There is a light

And it shines bright just for you

And you can cut yourself off from it

No matter what you do

I had a 3.5 at Duke

And I was blowin' up

Three albums, I got a row of ducks

When my dad was 22, dawg, he drove a truck

January in Detroit is cold as fuck, you know it’s tough

But I came this far, I ain’t slowin' up

Livin' life with the LeBron James shoulder shrug

One thing you’ll never hear me say is «Close enough», I’m dope as fuck

I lost 2018 to a broken heart

I wrote this whole thing, I know my part

I made a wildfire from a glowin' spark

I press go in March, I gotta go and march

All previous conceptions are blown apart

Not everyone can come with me, it’s Noah’s Ark

I ain’t Gregg Popovich, I have no remark

These are the type of riches one can only hold in heart

And anyone that’s gone over my history

Know that I ain’t stuck in the mode of the industry

I am walkin' down the road of epiphanies

Three words: growth over consistency

Back again, they’ve been tappin' out, McGregor

I’ve been tappin' in, livin' out the dreams

I was once just imaginin', it’s happenin'

I get so much work done nowadays, it’s almost like I have a twin

I can’t just sit on a couch

Shovelin' shit in my mouth

I don’t know how I’ma walk across this country

But I know I’ma figure it out

And who knows what I’m gon' do when it’s done

Hopefully I touch your life, you could be one

I’m not walkin' to show people who I am

I’m walkin' to find out who I’ve become

The people ain’t stupid, they know what’s real

Sometime to get to heaven, we gotta go through hell

And I’m rollin' deep, no Adele

You can ask World Wide Wes, dawg, he knows me well

My life’s like an instruction manual

How to not be borin' (not be borin')

It’s my spirit, my smile

That have got me soarin' (got me soarin')

It broke my heart to tell the band

We would not be tourin' (not be tourin')

But I just gotta do this (I gotta do it)

I can’t stop explorin'

I was a short lil' Jewish kid, I ain’t speak much

My whole life now somethin' that I’ve dreamed up

With no handout, I look at my heros and…

That’s what I am now

Yoga class headband now

People say I’m off-brand, how

I am a brand, therefore

Anything I do is on-brand now, I’m on-brand now

People got attached to a version of me

And it hurts when they see a person who’s free

But I’m so grateful for all of these lessons

Twice as much money, half the possessions

No drugs, now the vision’s clear

People mad 'cause the old me isn’t here

All my gold jewelry just disappeared

That’s the universe tellin' me to start switchin' gears

The deeper the human, the deeper the songs

Look at my life, the dream isn’t gone

I saw all of this two years ago

It’s almost like it was me readin' my poem

People copy but they copy wrong

Puttin' out a bunch of sloppy songs

If I die and the Rockies don’t

Forget to bury me with a Petoskey stone

And opportunities keep on poppin' up

Killer concepts come to me in shavasana

This is just an intro, a daydream

The rest comes January 18th

Open your eyes

Make room for a little sweet love

The Lord is all around you, child

And that’s what you’re made of

Remember…

There is a light

And it shines bright just for you

You can’t cut yourself off from it

No matter what you do, no
