Nahko And Medicine For The People
Skin In The Game
[Verse 1]
Wide awake
And I know why it’s taken me so long
To reclaim my power
The hurting made me strong
I’ve lost count how many times I have changed
There’s an art to having skin in the game

Been afraid
Of running out of fucks to give
Lowest place
Considering where I have been
It's the simple truth that one day I will die
Or the courage it takes for a warrior to cry

It's like the song I was singing
Sitting on my bedroom floor
Or that familiar feeling like I’ve been here before

[Chorus]
Well, you can certainly shake me, but no can break me
Na, na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me, but no can break me
Na, na

[Verse 2]
What I want will rarely meet at what I need
Nothin’s wrong
With settin' better boundaries
Like the softness you earn when you break your own bread
Mmm
Or that playful heart that became your first defense
Well, I know yes I know, I sure as shit know
I turned some kind of page
And I will, yes I will
Learn to love the side of me that holds all the shame
When I gave myself permission to feel the pain
There’s an art to having skin in the game

Well there is something so sacred
And perfect in placement, uh huh
Cause I am buzzing in beauty and feasting on honey, all right

Well, you can certainly shake me, but no can break me
Na, na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me, but no can break me
Na, na, na na
