| Ay yo, the concrete labyrinth is keepin' me captive, hyperactive
|
| I saunter through the cold city, no goals for the progeny, approaching me
|
| All types of ghosts play me all types of close, I wish that I could light some
|
| bulbs
|
| Rollin' on my own like the Elm Street tricyle, my eyes are soaked
|
| Their eyes are stoned, this is ground zero, I woke up twenty hours ago
|
| I walk amongst the thousands, that’s always left with miles to go,
|
| from hovering around limbo
|
| These browns are broke, and tired of browsing bro
|
| I barely got the powers to cope
|
| It’s hard to stomach when it grumbles and it growls are both
|
| It sound nothing like Al Jarreau
|
| But there’s a heaven too x2
|
| Ay yo, the iron horse weary
|
| Influencing how its passengers think
|
| Can lead em to water but can’t make em drink
|
| It get under your skin, make-up, ink
|
| Ain’t no lookin' back, what they lookin' at? |
| Make 'em blink
|
| The rise of machines, over hombres, chewing bacon, egg and cheese
|
| Just yesterday I learned ABCs, my aching knees
|
| My age increase, I spray Raid and sweep
|
| The carcases away, as officers do raids and sweeps
|
| They say that we were kings and queens
|
| Remind me of the crazy queef
|
| Sheesh
|
| Blowin' hot air, I wonder if it’s not fair, it’s always not fair
|
| Whenever someone’s not there, they only downstairs
|
| Drawn out without a stencil
|
| My thoughts shape the canvas like a pencil
|
| My art is something simple
|
| Lost in the mental
|
| A big body of work, nothing simple
|
| We build pyramids but they keep raiding the temples
|
| I find myself at the cross lifted in the middle
|
| Instrumental
|
| Tryna crack the codes, but it’s all riddles
|
| You speak of nizzle, get your body riddled sentimental (mm)
|
| That’s how we send a memo, no subliminals
|
| Spots shut down, they closing they doors
|
| Rarely open, forcing the wars (c'mon)
|
| And it’s poor economics keep us dirty, fuck doin' them chores
|
| I’m just a made man, I’m not a maid sweepin' the floors
|
| What we made was a foundation to creep through the walls
|
| I used to sneak in the store, stash the heat in the drawers
|
| That was before the tours, just dealing with my hellish moods
|
| Sometimes it’s hard to see that there’s a heaven too |
