[00:02.02] Oh, it's a gnat in here
[00:06.12] Get out of here, gnat
[00:07.58] You got something to tell me, gnat?
[00:10.31] You got something you want to tell me, gnat?
[00:15.92] Huh? Alright
[00:20.84] Cuff my n**s, place myself on house arrest
[00:24.32] Locked in, judge, jury, bailiff, bet
[00:27.77] When it rains, I'm dry, sun shines, I'm wet
[00:30.77] Push up demons, fvck it, doin' 'bout 50, 11 sets
[00:34.07] Ignoring your texts like sweet babies who cry in the church
[00:37.27] Or if your partner got popped yesterday and school come first
[00:40.57] My favorite color's yellow, maybe 'cause I'm mellow
[00:43.67] And I got so much style, it's probably 'cause I'm ghetto
[00:46.63] My mommy never cooked a Cosby dinner
[00:49.02] And often times I took a L for Mrs. Winters
[00:51.71] But I'm getting off the subject
[00:53.44] Off the boat, got my luggage but the quote
[00:55.40] Pack light starts to echo through my mind
[00:58.50] So I'm rushing now, hushing now
[01:00.72] Laid my suitcase down like prom night
[01:02.93] Zipped it open started pulling out
[01:04.91] Tossin' memories, socks, thoughts who pretend to be
[01:07.35] Boxer briefs, pants, pictures of frenemies killing me
[01:10.80] To make room, room, room, for the light
[01:17.61] Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
[01:23.54] Cut the cord to my bungee
[01:30.03] You can be yourself, don't be shy
[01:35.99] Take your time, don't you rush things
[01:39.21] Thought I bought a Rollie, but forget that, I didn't need it
[01:42.46] Just let that holy water wash over my Caesar
[01:45.59] Dressing like that Thursday in November, know that they'll remember style
[01:49.17] Boil it then let it simmer down, we blowing smoke between the breeze
[01:52.47] The twists are Senegalese
[01:53.99] No more Backwoods blown, we ride the rings of memories
[01:56.54] We wired the intricacies of our logic, no hands in my pocket
[02:00.72] Still got my hand on my weapon
[02:02.48] He more Malcolm than Martin, a bit more Baldwin than both
[02:05.61] You need a cauldron for mixing a black man's soul into soup
[02:08.57] So many fishbowls can't cope, you cracking jokes 'bout the soap
[02:11.72] We more concerned with the truth
[02:13.26] You niggas burning the booth, these niggas burning the wick at both ends
[02:17.37] Fade to black I'm ghosting in the light
[02:19.98] Lately I been waking up at night, tryna beat the day
[02:23.98] Overconfident, I can't be Issa Rae
[02:25.97] To make room, room, room, for the light
[02:32.15] Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
[02:38.35] Cut the cord to my bungee
[02:44.64] You can be yourself, don't be shy
[02:50.92] Take your time, don't you rush things
[02:54.04] I know what I know, but you heard what you heard
[02:56.83] So you poked your head in, got suspicion confirmed
[03:00.11] Been on my feet for miles, so my soul got some burn
[03:03.05] Still it's fvck how you feel on my bottle of pills
[03:06.21] If you can't hold me down then you don't get a turn
[03:09.25] Yeah, yeah, fame is less worse, nothing sacred no more
[03:12.40] Either take what you want or you make what you earn
[03:15.38] If I kill you, I promise, I'll pray for you first, like
[03:19.24] Ooh-ooh
[03:21.82] If you love me, grease my scalp with this 380 in my lap, like
[03:25.43] Ooh, yeah
[03:27.81] What's the worst thing that could happen? Use the answer to relapse (To make room, room, room, for the light )
[03:34.47] Lately I been sober, chasin' new highs
[03:40.84] Cut the cord to my bungee
[03:47.09] You can be yourself, don't be shy
[03:53.23] Take your time, don't you rush things
