“Black Pegasus is a song about letting go and moving forward. Opening with “I gotta feel your comfort” is a nod to a certain state of mind, emotion and/or impression that was well-washed through time and nostalgia. I find it very interesting how past emotions can change retrospectively and how the (in this case, my) brain can manipulate memories into solely positive or negative emotions. The three verses go from weekend (Sh*t ain’t open on a Sunday) to Monday back to weekend (are you free about this weekend) to intensify the time factor articulated in this song. While the weekend back was something to be clung on to, the lyrical me is still looking forward to the weekend ahead, being positively open-minded while intrigued. The (very) puristic hook is kind of a mantra to not be stuck in the past too much.” - DJ Swagger

Lyrics 

I gotta feel your comfort
Go purify my body
Was gonna drop the lettuce
But shit ain’t open on a Sunday

Well don’t you cry 
don’t you cry 

Tune in on a Monday
Yeah I got food that’s to be served
And don’t you care ‘bout drying the platters
Just leave ‘em in the dirt

‘Cause you got
What makes the world go round
What makes the world go round

Would like to know what you do
Yeah, are you free about this weekend?
Kisses via bluetooth
And my heart is on the deep end

Well don’t you cry 
don’t you cry (don’t you cry)

Well don’t you cry (Yeah don’t you cry no more)
don’t you cry (Yeah don’t you cry no more)
Well don’t you cry (Yeah don’t you cry no more)
don’t you cry (Yeah don’t you cry no more)
