Intro

Count 'em on one hand 'fore I'm even up Six little faces in a paper cup

Verse 1

Carol City sunrise come in hot and mean Seven AM, the Palmetto already a scream First face fear, got a court date at nine Glad the 27 came early down the line 441 hum, and I'm counting my coins Empty seat where my brother used to sit, that's the void Disgust at the screen by the bus door glass Anger that the fare went up, and I can't even ask Felt all six 'fore the styrofoam got warm South Florida raise her babies in the storm

Chorus

Felt all six 'fore the sun got up, sun got up Cold black coffee in a paper cup Happy, scared, then the anger interrupt Name it, tame it, fold it, never fold up, fold up Six faces, one me, that's enough, that's enough I-95 humming like it know my blood Count to six, then I drive through the flood Six faces, one me, that's enough

Verse 2

Rent due the first, and the first don't care Sadness like the humid, it's just always there Twelve dollar Publix run, the receipt make me sick Forty-one cent left, now that's a magic trick Mama on the phone, voice happy but thin Tell me she good, but I hear the rent again Fear got a body, sit heavy on the chest Anger at a system that don't let a man rest Surprise, a stranger pay it forward in the line Lauderhill kindness almost made me cry, but I'm fine

Chorus

Felt all six 'fore the sun got up, sun got up Cold black coffee in a paper cup Happy, scared, then the anger interrupt Name it, tame it, fold it, never fold up, fold up Six faces, one me, that's enough, that's enough I-95 humming like it know my blood Count to six, even when it's too much, too much Six faces, one me, that's enough

Verse 3

Catch myself in the window on the 826 Six faces looking back, now which one I trust Happy was a kid before the rent got loud Fear learned my whole name in a fluorescent crowd Disgust at the version that almost gave it up Surprise that I'm still here, still filling up the cup Sadness stay honest, anger keep me sharp Made my peace with all six, that's the art

Verse 4

Now I'm fighting back, I don't let fear drive Pull the wheel myself going down the 75 Anger ain't the boss, it's a tool in the hand Use the heat to build, that's the conscious man Disgust at the lie that you only pick one Feel 'em all at once and you still get it done Sad in the morning, glad before the night Surprise me again, watch me come out alright Six faces lined up like they ready for war I look every single one of 'em dead in the core

Chorus

Verse 5

Little cousin asked me how I never crack Sat him on the porch in Miramar, gave it back You gonna feel all six 'fore you grown, lil man Happy, sad, scared, mad, the disgust, then you stand Surprise gonna find you when you ain't prepared Name it 'fore it name you, show 'em you ain't scared Fold the cup, keep walking, that's the lesson and the law Six faces in your hand, son, that's all

Outro

Six faces, paper cup, the sun comin' up Carol City to Miramar, that's enough
