Y'all niggas need to take your fucking baby steps!
Today's mathematics, haha!
(Drop that bitch)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
You makin' me nervous!
Oh my gosh
You already know what this shit is
Oh my fucking God this is my fucking song, yo
Uh, this what time it is
(This is my jam) Can I—
Can—
Can I— k—
Can I—
Can I kick it?
Can I kick it?
Can I kick it?
Can I—
Nah bro
Nah
No (Nah)
I've seen those eyes before
I've seen those eyes before
I've done seen slow rises burning
I've done seen slow rises burning
I've done seen folks die before
I've done seen folks die before
I've done seen hands touch the sky
I've done seen folks die before
I've done heard God touch my hands
God touched my right hand
I write things that will make you cry
Things that will make you cry
And I cry today
And I cry today
If we burn tomorrow
If we—
You think you will light the way?
Do you think you light t— or just burn?
Or just burn
But I smile today
And I cry today
My eyes are red, my heart hurts
My eyes are red and my heart hurts
When you touch me, you see me
When you touch me, you see me
And that's all we can ask for
That's all we can ask for
Big curse on the dash, or just burn
Pick me up where you left me
But nothing's changed
But nothing's changed
Jalan Jenderal Sudirman
We must remember to hide our kings
N-n-n-Now
Sah-bi-dah-bi-doo-ooh
(Go Demarcus!)
They say I don't sound like a killer
Well, how a killer sound?
Sweaty back to sheet or ground
Whitey wanna see me down
Why you wanna see me down?
Through the rain, the sleet, the street showers
The break of the hours, debris of the towers
Survived nine eleven
I'll be damned if we don't make it to heaven
Young Muhammed Atta the way I oughta
No plane lessons, got over the election
See all I gotta do to get some rest in
My bitch was shaped like a crescent
The only walls that work are hers
I hope you catch that message
She used to make me feel protected
Then watched her give up on me, like
Like I was average, man that shit was depressing!
In this cold, cold world
Where I ain't even got Obama, my little mama
How I'm supposed to feel?
Had it to here, so I know I'm goin' platinum this year
If I don't sell, I'ma steal a million copies, I swear
If I don't feel inspired, steal a couple verses, don't care
Bad news got me energized so I stand with my guys
Running for the C, they thought we was the Central Park 5
And we gon' need the percentage to match how many of y'alls is blind
That's 85 for me, 10 for the team, the rest for you can slide
Why can't we all get what we want?
It's an easy deal for me
But I know history, how it's meant to be
I ain't comin' out with victory
'Cause y'all ain't got no ends for me
I've been hurt by you before
Like I've felt it, I'm sure
But I mean a long time ago, like before I was born
Because you're on my mind and bet
I see you every time I look in the mirror
On the wall
Think of the times I used to pat myself
For not being too dark after all
Think of you morning, noon, and night
When it's too dark after all
'Til suddenly white was warm and brought love in the same form
You see how the universe work?
Takes my hurt and places the cure in the blue eyes of the storm
Now back to myself
Where I could've fought it off, never letting on that
I couldn't move without holding onto you
My alabaster hobby
Never letting you know that it was not glamorous
To dream of white limbs spread holy ghost over my body
Instead, thinkin' white on Brown
Should be left to peanut butter on Wonder Bread
(Hit it!)
It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and red!
Wonderin' if the bread can dead all that thinking
Make it okay
Tell Jay to send a million my way
It can be done
Like what's better than one billionaire? (None!)
If they knew it was good for they heads
They'd put that breesh on buying some new Timbs for my feet
'Cause these dirty shits gon make the meanest
Head-bussin' militant out of me
And when we hit the goddam C, I know ain't getting no seats
Y'all hungry for change and upheave, just step on my feet
And the revolution is here
You step on these Timbs and the revolution is right—
NOW!
*laughter*
God damn, God da—d-damn!
Go get that old shit!
I saw the world turn right-side up
As I thought it turned upside down
The way your chemistry was changed
By words, and then paper
It made you forget about life
But what about the planet?
Everyone around you sought to make a better world
And that was aight
But they didn't come up with any equations for a better world
So what are you waiting on?
The end of the world?
The world ended five thousand years ago
('Til I'm bloody and red, with one in the head!)
How beautiful, the world
But you're frightened by its heat
And how he laid it to you oven-style
Forgetting this road you travel
Might not be yours forever
To love and not be loved back
Now you got Burns on your values, like
Oops, party's over
Said I'm owed some of the pie
But still you owe me ten
There's only five to get
So I go bang bang and shoot
85's blind
Then there's the 10
Yakub likes to pretend
So who's the 5 percent?
I love New York, but why?
Baby, oh baby
Y'all like that shit?
Run that shit back!
Slauson Malone, holla at me!
Baby, oh baby
Don't look at me like you know me lately
Always up, but don't keep waiting
Oh baby, won't you want to stay
For the matrix, we can linger where it's clearer
Always, ooh
Oh baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Baby, won't you (won't you)
Been acting strangely lately
Probably 'cause you tried to play me
Baby
Oh baby, won't you (won't you)
Oh baby, won't you (won't you)
Oh baby, won't you (won't you)
Oh baby
Won't you
Put a curse on you!
Va empezando la velaria
Que le hacemo' a Babalú
Dame diecisiete velas
Pa' ponerla' en cruz
Que dame un cabo de tabaco
Mañengue
Y un palito de aguardiente
Babalú, Babalú aye
Yo quiero pedir
A Babalú
Un negrito bonito
Como tú
Que tenga dinero
Y que no se muera
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Babalú aye, Babalú
Speak! That's mad cash!
The block is hot right now
And I'm outside, I'm in the shorts
And I'm in the Puerto Rico slippers
Know what I'm sayin'?
So the devil popped out in Medina
Thinking he was all big and bad
And then he met Red Burns
And boy tried to drop his nuts on him
And you know
I don't know what's good with these motherfuckers, man
The devil got his ass beat
Six piece with the biscuit and the drink
I heard he was leakin'
But that's beside the point
Niggas out here got empty stomachs and full mailboxes
And all they wanna do is beat they chests
And swing they dicks around
I guess that's how life go
I don't even know who to blame for it
These lil niggas are on some "I'm Dirty Dan" shit
Don't nobody win when you cross Red Burns
Now all the fuckin' windows is broken
Never thought I'd get to meet the devil
Never thought I'd see him face to face
Heard he always worked alone
That he seldom wrote or used the phone
So I walked right up to meet him at his place
(Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Now!
Let us pray
Li-lickwood means rewind, gunshot means forward
You requested it so we rewind
Yessit! More chune for your hairline
And remember
The bag! It's that bag talk!
You purified me, caveman
You gave me my purpose, my reason
Turned me into Caesar, not the white man neither
I am ape, but you write donkey on my back
And go on waitin' on the end of the world
Only the world ended five thousand years ago
Where the future, I have plans
Caveman, do you know where the world came from?
At first there was nothing
Then nothing turned itself inside out and became something
Why don't you turn yourself inside out?
Like my feet do when I run and they turn white
To match your face in the caves you're chased back into
So then then you appear, to make my chemistry change
To make me sad, to make me strange
And then away
12 degrees south, 78 degrees east (We must remember to hide our Kings)
Those are directions, but you won't find me there
You can't find anything when you don't see me
Like a black hole in space
That's the Earth, how wide the world
How vast the emotions that wonder with the mind
The moment when the mind's anguish eats the solace
And tells it to be true
That you were just like me
'Til the war outside claimed you
And you're beautiful
Only it didn't matter that you were beautiful
When the world ended five thousand years ago
And it won't matter now
What's your beauty to do when it all comes down?
You're on the wrong side on the end of time
With all your righteousness
I told you then you would be where you are now
But you kept telling me about your righteousness
What's the price of your righteousness?
SPF suck my dick, you heard?
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
Lift-off
Ay-pa
I know that niggas wanna see me fall
Just so they can say they seen it all
I live my whole life tryna seam the fort
But it hurt my older siblings who had seen or fought
I seen the water and the blood
And light my skin to the soil at the meeting draw
Darkest skin like the dirt but the light that I lean towards
The sun hot, but the ground doesn't seem as warm
Blue and green eyes, that's why I see the storm
But I still took the leap inside because I needed arms
I can feel my body leave above the sweeping floors
I let my ego go in hopes that she would teach me more
And she did
She showed me that the precious still lie at the rising of the bliss
So before you reach the gates, you still need to cross a bridge
Young kids, but we goin' through a lot
Last year, I figured all the struggles
That my pops had been goin' through
Looking for transparent here it go
You could still see the scratches in the gold
I hope my skin get blacker than my soul
To the blackness, here I go
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
A woman will do wrong for the man she loves
She can't stay away from the man she loves
She'll forget about her pride for the man she loves
Even though she may know, he is bad
Hear what I say now!
Og I ereh ssenkcalb otni
(Like a train)
Motherfuckin' right I been waiting long
Like come on C, what you think I'm standing here for?
We a dying force on this iron horse
Can't even steal phones no more
Not like I used to
And them four crackheads deserve AC too
Cus there's always crackheads
I hate to see 'em sweat
Like come on C, you got the tunnel black on me
And I only knew you blue
Like I'm last in the race, all you think we for is to wait
Waiting for good court decisions like they comin'
Waiting your tables
Waiting for you to let us know if we're qualified
Like it's comin'
Waiting at the ER to die, like 'God I'm comin'
Come on C, late ain't no way to be
There's a train that runs underground
And it's got a big fat A on it
No C, just big fat A's on 'em
I'm late to where I wanna go
Fast for them, for me always slow
Please take me where I gotta go
(What time is it? It's nation time)
Should I never be free?
Not as long as they get 3 A's and I don't see one C
Like I suck at school like come on C
Should I never be free
Not as long as they get all the seats and there's none for me
And I'd walk if it wasn't for these feet that won't let me be
If I stand here, I'm lazy
If I run, I'm escaping
Get shot down for aping
And there goes my day and shit
Yeah, y'all can have the C
Late ain't no way to be
Late ain't no way to be
There's a train that runs underground
And it's got a big fat A on it
No C, just big fat As on 'em
It's late to where I wanna go
Fast for them, for me always slow
Please take me where I gotta go
Take me where I gotta go
Fast for them, for me always slow
Please take me where I gotta go
I can really be free?
I can really be free?
I can really be free?
And all around me
People are screaming
Nation time!
Nation time!
Nation time!
Nation time!
Shit, here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
