| He plays guitar in Band X | 
| In the same old formula as everyone else does | 
| Why can’t he break out? | 
| Once you check out all those rules | 
| You can really start to explore music | 
| Music, music, music | 
| I felt emotions so deep, but my words got blocked | 
| You see I never smoked before so my nerves got shocked | 
| I couldn’t talk a word, but I could see the world | 
| I mean everything became so clear | 
| I didn’t slur shit, I just kept quiet and made a note of it | 
| Before the poetry is out the fire and I’m over it | 
| Retire notably and every move’s a curtain call | 
| Smooth with the groove so honey don’t take it personal | 
| I’m trying to make it out of dodge, don’t need to see the rainbows end | 
| I need a lift before I’m looking at the wall or great descent | 
| I owe rent and love the months that got a 31 | 
| I miss Pun and only met him once | 
| This is kettle chips and blunts, the funk | 
| I’m on the road still, I’m on a cold bill | 
| She got a coke body so ill | 
| Pick the code to the lock and all my people free | 
| I found the road to the top behind the… | 
| So let’s turn to chapter one, these are the hood parts | 
| Life is make believe and death is when the book starts | 
| I got good heart and ain’t afraid to show you | 
| At fifteen I shot a .22, now I’m older | 
| I spill my sixteens and dip clean | 
| This body grown up and clinging to these kids dreams | 
| I found a new feeling, I’mma chase it | 
| A newfound town, a new scribe, you can’t erase it | 
| I done tried, I done tried, I done tried, I done tried | 
| You don’t live till you die, hell or home you decide | 
| Near the flames of the fire, near the flames of the fire | 
| Near the flames of the fire, near the flames of the fire | 
| I done tried, I done tried, I done tried to survive | 
| You don’t live till you die, hell or home you decide | 
| Near the flames of the fire, near the flames of the fire | 
| Near the flames of the fire, near the flames of the fire | 
| I swam in oceans so deep the models seem like dots | 
| Something brushed up against my feet my insides dropped | 
| Fought the panic and I swam to the top | 
| The only non one-percenter member climbing back onto the yacht | 
| It’s a strange life, wonderful world, process the pain right | 
| Enact change, sipping champagne the same night (blah) | 
| Half disgusted, half delighted, half divided on it | 
| I Robin Hood and I smile, mad inside I’m haunted | 
| But party to the break of dawn, until the night is gone | 
| In glass mansions they throw hard words like right and wrong | 
| Intoxicating darkness but my light is on | 
| These battle hymns ballad of the freedom fighter song | 
| Life chiseled into blocks, on the wall and into skin | 
| Complicated ultimately, only spare the innocent | 
| Festivals we massacre, hit the stage and snipe them from it | 
| Kill in grimy clubs close and personal like knife to stomach | 
| The code is in the DNA of the fan | 
| Talking flashlight rips with DNA in the dam | 
| Worldwide, running live-fire exercises, flame throwing | 
| Gasoline graffiti bombing, drop the joint, the names glowing | 
| That’s burner redefined, learn to read between the lines | 
| The subtle hints and clues, the symbols and the signs | 
| It’s Rakaa Iriscience, recognize the grand design | 
| Making more move than just clock hands and sands of time |
