| Celebratory moments of a glass or a bottle in the air
|
| Or a flask and a shotti with a flare
|
| And the bag coming out when one appears
|
| Or the flash of a body in the stairs
|
| And the crash of a lobby in despair,
|
| Or. |
| moments where you getting patted on the ground
|
| That then turn into badges on the ground,
|
| And the irony of reversing a role where whenever they roll
|
| Bet that they know that’s whatever for them now,
|
| 'Cause now is a scene where a stream is interrupted
|
| By conclusion jumping and dumping into a seat
|
| Where a dream is sitting in overdrive so taking over the drive
|
| Turns into 12 acquitting the screams, or 12 acquitting what they believe,
|
| Until they’re in the crowd banking on what another 12 perceives
|
| Or celebratory moments of a scale being off to the left
|
| So you cop and get more than you expect
|
| And the rest goes off to the cost of looking like you’re involved
|
| So you back to spending more with your connect,
|
| Connecting like interlocking the latch
|
| When a latch key is cocking it back
|
| Knowing a latch leads to how to react,
|
| And the reaction is counter react,
|
| It gets complicated like confiscating the lottery back,
|
| It comps a way in like finding a pack,
|
| Or it comps a weigh in like you was conned into buying it back,
|
| Back tracking to the moments that inspired the toast,
|
| To the half gallon of Henny for supplying you hope,
|
| Til you’re back to backing the semi from inside of your coat,
|
| Either that, or standing on the other side of the scope,
|
| Or, it’s a celebration of being nowhere near where that aim is,
|
| Trigger fingers turn to «ations,
|
| Same fingers boxing you in will leave you vacant,
|
| Round of applause down the hall for all your patience,
|
| Or you in a hall, up on the wall,
|
| With department of corrections letters hovered up over where your name is,
|
| Or you by the door, cap and gown to the floor,
|
| 8 years of proof hovered up over where your name sits,
|
| Draw you to the crown, they sell it to you as weightless
|
| And charge you to sit on their wait list,
|
| Then you fast forward, private parking the Porsche, open the doors
|
| To a round of applause down the hall from all your patients,
|
| Fists in the air over mistakes, or fists in the air over the jakes
|
| Being vision impaired holding a tre,
|
| And that tre pound lift up the fear from out his face
|
| And you vision impaired over a wake,
|
| For the face that the jakes pinned as being a nigga
|
| So he gives him everything that he thinks a nigga should take,
|
| And you ask him how he spell it and he responds
|
| «Please make up your mind, you niggas is either niggas or you ain’t»,
|
| All black everything, Bobby Seale fit with a tre
|
| While I’m untwisting my chains,
|
| Celebratory moments of a glass or a bottle in the air
|
| Or a flask and a shotti with a flare
|
| And the bag coming out when one appears
|
| Or the flash of a body in the stairs
|
| And the crash of a lobby in despair,
|
| Recalled by the store til the morn' while you borrowing a square
|
| And they’re watching what you hear, but everybody’s fine… |
