Under the Sun

I had a dream of the wide open prairie (that's funny, I had a dream myself)
(How's e'ybo'y feelin' out there? Alright?)
I had a dream of the pale morning sky (e'ybo'y doing good, e'ybo'y good?)
And we were the same, just the same, you an' I (I mean, I got problems like e'ybo'y else, but I mean... they great problems, tho')
(It's that, I've been just talking shit)

We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one... (mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check)
(Mic check, one, two, one, two) my brother under the sun

Ol' head said reality is fake an' fake's the new real
Nothin' but strive to me, but takin' a few pills
Ain't tryna be the dude that's raisin' the blue steal
Vic's help me escape, they give me a new feel

Unedited, ey'day is a newsreel, some cake an' a few bills
Honestly, all it'll take is a few mil' (for what?)
For me not to have to portray no true skill (but!)
But lemme' jus' watch what I say, the truth kills

(So) be careful what you wish for
If I totally ignore it, I might withdraw
I used to be pissed off, piss-poor
Money crisp-poor (it was) like this short

It was kinda hard to get the whole puzzle workin' wit' half a jigsaw
I got mine, let me help you get yours without gettin' ripped off
I left a trail, nigga, follow it
An' when it's gone, make a new one, don't remodel shit
Oh!

We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together (ah, make all your mothafuckin' footsteps, nigga)
We will be forever as one (don't follow mine, ah, I got great problems, tho')
My brother under the sun (my problems are good!)

L-look, look, look...
New suit, dude nervous (what else?)
Ol' case, new judge, new verdict (what else?)
A new outcome like somebody reversed it
I mean, I'm feel like I'm a new man, a new purpose

(Oh!) It's like a nigga ain't feelin' so worthless
Kneel down an' worship, all them years was worth it
So when he opened his mouth, I was stunned
He said, "You can't deny a man his son, be clear"
So if he wanna be there, you let 'em be there

Be fair, I mean, I can see he wants to be near
I can see that he cares
I'll lock your ass up, you don't oblige, beware (I mean it)
She stared, she scared (oh)

My lil' dude always get the world from me
An' you want 'em to have the world, just not from me
Back like I never left, was never forced away
Got nothin' more to say

We are like birds of a feather (no! Wait a minute)
We are two hearts joined together (I got more to say, nigga, do you ever see somebody's shit?)
We will be forever as one... (just reminds me of somewhere where you really ain't really tryna be, or somewhere that you want)
(Sometimes you gotta be brutally honest)
My brother under the sun (where you wanna go, even if it hurts... so...)

When I see you I'm disgusted (nigga)
Can't believe I was ever in love wit' (nigga)
Must've been dusted, 'cause you look like shit
All these years, they ain't done you no justice (look at you!)

I mean, you all fucked up, can't get cash
Still bitter over a badge you can't get passed (huh?!)
Jus' sad, get mad 'cause my bitch bad
E'yday she switch heels, switch bags (whoa!)

It's like we livin' on a dock, nigga, big pad
You can't afford a deposit on my closet (not even)
Since you, all I ever known was fly shit
Unfortunately, you ain't fittin' that logic
'Cause you're much less

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success
Still, I'll be the bigger man an' wish her all the best
While knowin' she'll never get it
So why would she ever quit it, it's ridiculous

We are like birds of a feather (I just dare it)
We are two hearts joined together (I ain't really got x, I ain't be for the bullshit)
We will be forever as one... (so we gotta be stuck together for the rest of our mothafuckin' life)
My brother under the sun (do me a favor)

(Actually, don't do me no favor)
(Fuck that)
