| 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 |
