The Magic Hour |
Last one to fall asleep, first one to wake up |
(No doubt, you know how we do) |
All nighters, 6:20 in the AM, man |
It’s the magic hour |
Doing it til the sunrise |
I live my life in the sunshine |
It was as beautiful as Hawaiian beaches |
Usually it’s the students to be the truest teachers |
(No doubt, you know how we do) |
So gorgeous, this the magic hour, yeah |
Start of a new day, it’s a new way |
Get with the new way |
Uh, back to the future like a delorean |
Documenting the struggle I’m huddling with historians |
Making a way back to Brooklyn like we the warriors |
Told you this man’s story bordering on vainglorious |
Heading to Cali for an education of Sonny Carson |
And the need to police resurrection of Johnnie Cochran |
Never accepted the rejection cause failure never an option |
That’s the gospel like Mahalia, I’m a legend, I’ve been a problem nigga |
They still asleep in this dormez-vous like Frere Jacques |
Pardon my french like Remy Martin and Henny bottles |
The chances of survival more shallow than winning lotto |
The liquor that they swallow got them rattled, plenty Benny Blanco bravado |
Look at 'em fronting for these models |
La mujeres mulattos on the floor with the wobble wobble |
Sipping moscato while selling themselves for follows |
This shit is intense like a Pentecostal revival |
I’m in these streets like potholes, where the guns make Illinois to Chicago |
Bap bap bap like staccato |
I spit it like I just finished gargling the velocity marvelous |
Get your goggles, we hit it at full throttle |
I’m praying for a better tomorrow, my candle is burning slow as cubanos |
I’m seeing red like Ricky Ricardo |
They tried to stop my product like an embargo, but see they wallow in their |
sorrows |
So they promises is empty and hollow, mahalo |
Uh, live my life in the sunshine |
Bust rhymes, beautiful as the sunrise |
Plus side but the orchestra like I’m Sun Ra |
Got with Alchemist like a wonder twin then we combine |
The face of God got the finest features |
And she listening if you tryna reach her |
High Valyrian rap, looking for my Khaleesi |
The ones that Ebro call minor league is the real fire breathers |
Now let me teach you how to train your dragon |
First rule they can’t be tamed cause they ain’t gon' have it |
It ain’t no magic just actual facts and logic here |
Hip hop will flourish with nourishment and the proper care |
