| Yo check it out, what’s the deal?
|
| This the chef right here, Raekwon
|
| Chilling with my peoples Grayskul
|
| You already know what it is
|
| My Nin
|
| You understand?
|
| Work hard for real
|
| On that Nin shit, Yeah
|
| They don’t even know about the Nin boy
|
| They gon' let 'em know now tho
|
| For real for real
|
| Love is love man, hold the fort down
|
| You already know
|
| Grayskul, Wu-Tang, Won-won-won
|
| We used to dream all night our name would make an imprint
|
| Breathing these words a life just like how I envisioned
|
| Some Marlboro Lights, a pen to write, a slave to my addictions
|
| But I’m no different than the rest of you with my afflictions
|
| To hide behind the pain the same became world wide religion
|
| But what inspires are the stars that shine to light a prism
|
| Much like the minds a prison, far from the eyes of vision
|
| Witness how my ambition guiding me to fly to distance
|
| As if like someone’s listening, when I think there’s something missing
|
| I sit assisted by the pressure testing each commitment
|
| Planets beyond the picket fence, how dreams are reinvented
|
| Cameras expensive lenses sees only see a small percentage
|
| Of what we bleed, of what’s received when we apply the message
|
| The pen secretes to leave impressions on the face with questions
|
| And not a sonnet just your house behind the spot perfection
|
| Amongst the greedy shepherds hold 'em and lose your connection
|
| See me, they’re standing underneath it
|
| A neighbor to go higher, they on a lower frequency
|
| So now they was conspire
|
| And figure out the way to do the same damn thing
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Nobody’s perfect 'cept when we came out the womb
|
| Unwrap these mummies, let them breathe please (Please)
|
| Takin' this moment origami fold the component
|
| And poke it to your varicose so it will spread (Ferocious)
|
| We hold the body high, Who said that you can fly?
|
| Have you ever really- I mean really ever ever tried?
|
| Gettin' this lined in, it’s timed in, while I’m winding up
|
| Here’s mine prepare to dive in back into where your fear is climbing
|
| It’s called adrenaline
|
| The reinvention of electricity from those gentlemen who brought you dope
|
| And from the Scarecrow was still alive and he’s kickin'
|
| But missing is all your prom dates and all you want to do is just go
|
| (Go) We here to help you with that
|
| Show you the land and all its fat and how to survive perhaps
|
| Just let me godforsaken and the stargate is closing
|
| Approach with open arms there’s snow and you glowin'
|
| I believe you have awoken
|
| See me, they’re standing underneath it
|
| A neighbor to go higher, they on a lower frequency
|
| So now they was conspire
|
| And figure out the way to do the same damn thing
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Over and over again (over and over again)
|
| Now days a fade crates a blade have been automated
|
| That’s great but don’t mistake what make’s statements like «you're the greatest»
|
| The truth is music, who you influence? |
| Who’s wide awake?
|
| And who can move you? |
| Break the chances they’ve complaced the distribution
|
| Brain pollution, sewage, ain’t it stupid, this movement
|
| Raise the generation of youth consuming stew and its so lucrative
|
| What I don’t get’s the few who truly love the music and spit it
|
| To get what little credit, while the rest just ruin it
|
| You can see us wavin' from such great heights
|
| And while your elevator stuck and its crowded
|
| You allow yourself to be content and settle from mediocre
|
| Redundancy afraid to push that envelope out it
|
| You cloud to get out quick
|
| When the power goes out in dark-i-ness falls you stand tall
|
| Like doctor Manhattan illuminating you all with
|
| The evidence that original thinking is not instinct
|
| But rather rare, distinguished to poignant prepare
|
| Are you ready to be?
|
| Are you ready to be?
|
| Are you ready to be?
|
| See you got me thinking of bad things the one time and shit |
