Opium Songtext
von Gorillaz feat. EARTHGANG

I′ve been cooped up for a minute
I've been inside workin′ on me
Hyperbolic chamber, I sit
I'm gon' dance my way out of this
Winter lasted for ages
Trouble don′t last always
Brand new life, turn the page
Be alright, be okay

Grindin′, lovin', singin′, huggin', livin′, get it, stack it
Runnin', dancin′, flyin', people wake up
Come on, keep on dreamin', don′t stop
Lovin′, tryin', growin′, don't stop
They gon′ try to slow you, don't stop
Never ever, no, I don′t stop
London, Paris, LA, don't stop


Atlanta, Jamaica, Rio, don't stop
New York, Lagos, Sydney, don′t stop
You tried to kill me, created a monster
You tried to end me, but fate said no, no
Know why they envy, I got it, it′s in me
Been so long since I had new faith
Been so long since I changed my ways
Been so long since I been okay

I met a lady on the side of the road
And I had a story that had never been told
About a life that was lived on hope
And the truth of the inner light that we all hold
She said "Baby, I can hear my train comin'
I′ll leave with somethin' before I go"
Listen child, don′t you ever waste time
Tryna dim nobody shine, better water your own

Will we wake up tomorrow
And feel like we are closer together?
Sing for colossal changes
And how we treat each other when we're livin′ in the city
Of elevations
Is it man or woman feeling
Some balance, today?

Hope (hope)
Hope the radiant light is shining on you (shinin' on you)
Hope (hope)
Hope the radiant light is shining on you


Grindin', lovin′, singin′, huggin', livin′, get it, stack it
Runnin', dancin′, flyin', people wake up
Come on, keep on dreamin′, don't stop
Lovin', tryin′, growin′, don't stop
They gon′ try to slow you, don't stop
Never ever, no I don′t stop
London, Paris, LA, don't stop

Been a long time since I been outside
Don′t let it catch up with me
Eye contact just with me
Tapped in, wrapped up, bring it in, let me in
Let me all over, in between
Leave the toothbrush in your dreams
I ain't worried 'bout the next thing
I′ll be with you to the extreme
Ice bounce off the glow of the moonlight
I hope we′re still close when the sun rise
I paint the picture clear for ya
I can't hold this in much longer
Searchin′ for this feelin' my whole life

Hope (hope)
Hope the radiant light is shinin′ on you (shinin' on you)
Hope (hope)
Hope the radiant light, is shinin′ on you
