Chance The Rapper - The Heart & The Tongue lyrics

[Intro Sample] [Verse 1] My heart and tongue are fighting, my mind is undecided It's not like Trump and Biden, it's more like it's something private Like when your cousins fighting, one of 'em get excited You can't just jump the gun and pick a side and jump inside it Remember, Pontius Pilate hung a God and justified it The truth is slow 'cause someone's always in a rush to hide it The lies is golden 'cause the Devil got a touch of Midas The soul is brighter 'cause the Holy Ghost is ultraviolet The tongue is violent when the spirit starts to hunger-striking The thunder lightning makes the heart go under bunkers hiding The lungs is silent when it hears the footsteps of the giants And then, the fingertips, they twist up like Poseidon's trident Remember safety if you ever running from the tight end Remember Mookie if they ever come to cut the hydrant They cut the heart out with the tongue, they want it undivided You better not start, you make a fuss you end up uninvited [Interlude Sample] [Verse 2] My heart and mind are beefing, I call 'em "rhyme and reason" They always going head to head, I'm trying to Siamese 'em My father got a special set of skills like Liam Neeson He told me faith and squinted eyes can turn the blind Venetian I seen the sign, I'm in the den, I'm with the lions sleeping I seen the wine, I seen the water turn to bright Tahitian The heart is somewhere on Hawaiian beaches Tying pigeons to the giant peaches I want the beat to feel like diegesis I'm tired of politicians tryna sell us diet Jesus That's like dialysis was tryna sell us diabetes Act like you was born yesterday and you gon' die a fetus The mind's philosophy is old as Thales of Miletus The mind is quite elitist, that's why they like choir preachers They buy our leaders easier than I can buy a feature That's why the genius always end up on the tightest leashes That's how I wrote my whole entire thesis My heart and flesh are racing, that's why I get complacent That's why y'all get impatient, y'all don't get the invitation I'm sitting courtside with the nurses during visitation Watching the vitals with some popcorn and anticipation
