LYRICS
Knowing he could take it away
Live another episode of a day
Moving out your head now
Honest with yourself now
Waiting for a moment to sink
Breaking your promise
Always days behind
I seen people die jumping cannonball
You think you could fly
Jump in cannonball
Knowing he could take it away
Live another episode of a day
Moving out your head now
Honest with yourself now
Waiting for a moment to sink
Breaking your promise
Always days behind
I seen people die jumping cannonball
You think you could fly
Jump in cannonball
It won’t be slow
It’ll take it’s time
Turn off your brights
You’re losing motion
Leave slow, don’t cry
My head so empty and nice
Turn off the light
You’re losing motion
It’ll take it’s time
Turn off your brights
You’re losing motion
Leave slow, don’t cry
My head so empty and nice
Turn off the light
You’re losing motion
I know it’s in your design to have faith in people all the time
Pulling the teeth out your mouth
I think it’s hard to speak when you’re always right
Lonely stranger
Hold me closer than him
Pulling the teeth out your mouth
I think it’s hard to speak when you’re always right
Lonely stranger
Hold me closer than him
## papa mbye (pronounced ehm-bay) is a Senegalese artist based in Minneapolis, refusing to be boxed in by any single genre. CANNONBALL showcases papa's most vulnerable side with emotive vocals over delicate guitar riffs. Crafted during the early hours of the morning in a quiet moment of solitude, the song emerged organically as a deeply personal reflection on mortality: loss, grief, and acceptance. Its poignant lyrics invite listeners to embrace life's impermanence and live fully. It's a soulful journey of raw emotion and serves as a tribute to lost loved ones. It's the second single taken from his PARCELLES 16 (EP), named after the address of his uncle's home in Senegal. While in Senegal for a family member’s funeral, he experienced a layer of grief. A certain sadness for roads not traveled and paths not taken. He went to his origins looking for answers but came back with more questions.
