Lyrics

[02:28.84][00:25.28] Yo.
[00:25.74] This ain't the hope or the change you imagined
[00:28.11] They turned 20 to 30 because the 40's a rabbit
[00:30.82] All the 50 60 70's and 80's are laughing
[00:33.51] All the way to the bank man and back to the mansion
[00:36.55] But we assassins on stage' post modern day Hamlets
[00:39.58] Watching y'all rest way more than the Sabbath
[00:42.15] Got the fire in my chest like I'm Iron Man
[00:44.61] Mashing through the I-5 traffic' a glorious bastard
[00:48.03] Laborious tasks' we gettin buried with taxes
[00:50.58] But we'd gladly pay more if they covered our backs huh
[00:53.95] We never thought we'd outlive Michael Jackson
[00:56.47] Let's go back to sinning' *later* for forgiveness
[00:59.17] In a space' no （datas） can fit in
[01:01.37] It's simple man' I black out' you backed out in a second
[01:04.62] Cuz see I'm done makin'' all the raps you would have takin'
[01:07.35] I'm done takin' the rhyme I was given' I'm makin' a
[03:14.80][03:03.43][01:10.39] New lane' true （kane）' run thangs' like I do' brand new
[03:17.91][03:06.69][02:10.26][01:13.82] Middle name's Hussein' who's game' who you?!
[03:21.15][03:09.24][02:13.47][01:16.86] Nah' it's too little' too late
[03:23.24][03:11.91][02:15.46][01:18.73] What happens when you think patience always means wait.
[01:22.80] But maybe never feel things like
[01:25.08] Desperation in your life like fiends right
[01:27.95] Scrape a resin out a pipe dream'
[01:30.22] Cleaner than Mike's Nikes and 9-3' don't mind me'
[01:33.00] When the people get up and blow out the candle
[01:35.62] I been dope since you had to get up to change the channel
[01:38.70] I （may have it all framed）
[01:40.06] All your pictures acclaimed
[01:41.44] The only thing I'm afraid of is staying the same
[01:44.96] And I heard that from Denizen Kane
[01:46.90] I spit flames now my names get embedded in chains. Now'
[01:50.46] Record labels know better than chains
[01:52.56] I playin' chess' stayin' 4 steps ahead of the game
[01:55.99] Pay respects to the vets' accept those who don't know better than to give us our space
[02:01.04] Cause you see I'm done making' all the raps you have takin'
[02:03.86] I'm done taking the bond' I was given
[02:06.06] I'm making a new lane' true （kane）' run thangs' like I do' brand new
[02:29.67] Who ever say' 'the economy is great'
[02:32.44] Ain't never seen the places where they neighbors had to say
[02:35.67] 'There's nothing left here' we gotta go there
[02:38.28] We gotta go where ever there be dough
[02:40.83] And even with no mirror' they closer than they appear
[02:43.47] And the good shit we do guarantee you never hear
[02:46.77] You got money' the recession ain't a thing cuz
[02:49.68] Many people loss few people's gain' brah
[02:52.56] You ask me' that's a effed up arrangement
[02:55.33] The question is are you fed up enough to change it
[02:58.19] And if you can't' you can still relate
[03:00.46] But when the new people come' better get out the way
