Metropolis

Let me tell y'all what this must be
A couple keys wrapped under the Christmas tree
A few panhandlin', black Mandarins
One off of Candler and the others off of Campbellton, uh

Eye level, they wanna see us
But it's hard to chop a sequoia to a tree stump with a butter knife
That shit would take an eon
I was ridin' down E. Ponce de Leon with my nigga Keyon

Seen a fly girl in some Yves Saint Laurent's
I was like "Ooh, girl, you Beyoncé? You could be my fiancé"
What's your name? She said Dion
Cool, that's unisex, I'm thinkin' how I can get me and you to sex

Lil' jokey-joke, Jiddy J.I.D, Marty Mar
Never had an Audemar and never drove a foreign car
I'm just a gifted ass Georgia boy
It's a difference between gifts and talent, so peep the balance

Nigga been workin' until his hand get calluses
Tryna eat somethin' fatter than DJ Khaled is
Mind scrabble, dibble dabble, slam the gavel
Long travel roads, fuckin' hoes
Probably won't get on til I'm fucking old

I ripped the teeth out from under your brain, these drums is insane
I'm out of my space-time continuum frame
And I had to throw my hands up, rock your head like the ninja
You couldn't fit on this if it was wide as the Pacific

I'm tired of tusslin' with ya', I'm tired of bussin' with ya'
Dawg, it's been nuts since we was taking little rusty pictures
Fuck you niggas, step on, step on up
Take yo' ass right back to school, now with a million paper cuts

Wake the dead up out their sleep, y'all with a message I don't mess
As I'm caught up in the embrace of her dreamy labias
And them freaky flow of patterns cheerin' and clappin' at us
Really, we've yet to act up

And we strapped up, high like NASA, so I suggest you back up
If I fell out of my head, suspended in the lap of a real goddess
She look down while canoein' through that silver linin'
Would you still try me?
With that safety on, darlin', would you still eye me?

Feel like the type to loan pearls out, interest steady climbing
Hi, Miss, you gon' have to rotate now, I miss steady shining
Guess I hit the game like Kanye had did
Heads up, woulda been clutch, right?

Really tryin', God, not to miss my window
Blind sniper in the dark of the night
Back spasms for the nights you napped on
Back crackin', black boner all up in her backbone

Stop actin', shed that skin, pop the capsule
Leave your body back home
Then Bankhead Bounce to the other side of life, I get my naps on
Bear that shit
My skin's a target, hard to compare that shit

If it look good on you, then they gon' hate than a bitch
Wear that shit, rule of thumb
Cowards scared as fuck to do what ain't been done
I'm just scared as fuck to show up to God with the "I ain't done"

Look on my face, I ain't one to run in place
And try and not to pull a Drac' 'cause it's my first time in here
Really caught me at the fuckin' worst time in here
West Side, so you know it's hearse time in here

So don't you dare act like we never been here before
In yo' principal office, been suspended before
Put some acid on your tongue, I recommended it, bro
Earth, wind, fire, air bendin' these hoes

And don't you dare act like we never been here before
Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though

From the land of red clay and lottery worship
Where all of these murders is definitely probably on purpose
And all the colicky children getting put out of the churches
The preacher mean-muggin' your mama like, "Swallow ya' words, bitch!"

What makes a prodigy worthless?
How 'bout taking a shitty job 'cause economy hurtin'?
When you see the face of God, you ain't gotta be nervous
Especially if in your life you tried to follow your purpose

You could've been a serial killer with the coolest symbol
Three razor cuts in the forehead of the fifth victim
Illuminati, numerology, triangular prism
Pendulum swingin', maybe later I'll be bangin' some bitches

Ain't gotta explain to you niggas, we all know danger's appealin'
We all know pain's the realest way to try to say what you feelin'
It's amazin', got malaise from my illness
And that's a double entendre, but I don't expect y'all to feel this

Not from the dreamy bohemian or the loopiest nubian
Got the gluteus maximus? Then we makin' a movie
Doctur D's the definition of a perfect lunatic
That means I'll probably fuckin' lose it if I catch the moon a bit

Ben Hill, southwest, where my fuckin' goonies live
They all'a murk you for my baby brother if you fool with him
And I'm the lamest nigga in the squad and I'm like Superman
So it probably would behoove you to try to and be cool with them

My umbilical was cut by the horses bite
'Cause I was born in a manger on the darkest night
I was born in the danger, I was forced to fight
Forced to learn the Force before the night that Obi-Wan could die

A lot of dilated eyes claim to see the light
But all they ever see is seeds and saplings die
So who's the victim, look inside
Ight

And don't you dare act like we never been here before
Red carpet on my toes, red Haans on the Coal
And you can stare like a nigga never been here before
We'll be wringin' out your soul when the feeling gets old

So don't you dare act like we never been here before
In yo' principal office, been suspended before
Put some acid on your tongue, I recommended it, bro
Earth, wind, fire, air bendin' these hoes

And don't you dare act like we never been here before
Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though

And don't you dare act like we never been here before
Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
Probably the same place where my memories go
To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though
