Whole not part

[Verse 1] Used to think I was a fragment, just a flicker in the dark Chasin’ some imagined image like it lived beyond my heart Every mirror, every metaphor was sellin’ me I’m small Like there’s somewhere I could get to where I’d finally have it all But the seeker and the seeking and the seen were just a show I was sittin’ in the center, I was whole here all along [Pre-Chorus] Bassline breathing, mind unweaving (ohh-eee-ohh) the rhythm’s always here [Chorus] I’m not the part of the whole, I’m the whole as the part Heavy dub in my soul, I’m the boom in the heart Always whole and never hollow, never broken, never small There’s no whole that I’m a fraction of — I’m the one, I’m the all Every drop is just this knowing, playin’ dress-up in a name I’m not a piece of the puzzle — I’m the hand inside the game [Verse 2] Thought the frame was somethin’ bigger than the picture that I paint Thought the painter was a phantom that the canvas had to wait But the dreamer never left the dream to find a higher real There’s no eye behind the seeing, there’s no distance to conceal Every fracture, every failure was the wholeness in disguise Wearin’ timelines like a costume, droppin’ bass behind my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Echo spinning, dub beginning (ohh-eee-ohh) the dream is pumpin’ here [Chorus] I’m not the part of the whole, I’m the whole as the part Thunder low in the floor, I’m the spark in the dark Always whole and never hollow, never broken, never small There’s no whole that I’m a fraction of — I’m the one, I’m the all Every drop is just this knowing, playin’ dress-up in a name I’m not a piece of the puzzle — I’m the hand that plays the game [Bridge] Unfractioned, main attraction, every atom overblessed Undivided, uninvited, yet I’m host and I’m the guest Not a shadow, not a shallow, not a victim, not a test Just the wholeness droppin’ low-end like a heartbeat in my chest I’m the rhythm and the riddim and the riddle manifest There’s no journey, there’s no other — I’m the answer to my quest (ohh-eee-ohh-way-ohh, ah-way-eee-ohh-way) [Final Chorus] I’m not the part of the whole, I’m the whole as the part Not the echo of a signal — I’m the source of the start Always whole and never hollow, never broken, never small There’s no whole that I’m a fraction of — I’m the one, I’m the all (I’m the all) Every drop is just this knowing, playin’ dress-up in a name I’m not a piece of the puzzle — I’m the hand that plays the game [Outro] No part… no whole… just this… bass… home…
