| [Intro] | |
| Ah, you think darkness is your ally | |
| But you’re merely adapted to dark | |
| I was born in it, molded by it | |
| I didn’t see the light until I was already a man | |
| By then it was nothing to me but blinding | |
| You are now tuned in to the adventures of Vast Man and Goblin | |
| [Verse 1: Vordul Megilah] | |
| We stay in shape like Porsches on blocks | |
| Where ?women’?is gorgeous and kids stay strapped like Bugs Bunny Jordans | |
| Its crazed, all streets where eyes is forever glazed | |
| Like lady lemon cakes? in an age is a phase? everything trying to get paid | |
| I miss some of my friends one time ima see at the end, at some point | |
| Can't hold on to every bit of ? | |
| Trying to get over forbidden-ness(or bitterness) like ban hands | |
| So raise em up to the roof, even though some are roofless | |
| Everything ain't sweet, tell that to those thats living toothless | |
| Ima always be with my fam, like boys chasing cute girls | |
| And stay straight through the swirls | |
| [Hook - Vordul Megilah] | |
| Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls | |
| Keep it up, that's positive, patience is a virtue | |
| Don't let anything that irritates hurt you | |
| Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top | |
| Even when, struggling at the bottom, Gotham | |
| Yo I got you, like yo I got em, Gotham | |
| Got you, got you | |
| [Verse 2: Vast Aire] | |
| This is our city, New York Gritty | |
| Gotham, I got em, Ox city | |
| Right in the face of death, I show no pity | |
| That's why all of my exs still love me | |
| Wifey was Diane, mistress was Selena | |
| Love that Amazon, but the Kruger was meaner | |
| (Huh) plus I love to demean her | |
| I be in Mecca, she stayed in Medina | |
| Cipher unknown, we red hot | |
| With two cops on roof tops that's dead shots | |
| The Duo dynamic is call, | |
| Once we move these packs to D.C. we're goin ball | |
| We running this city as far as the eyes can see | |
| The shadows betray you cause they belong me | |
| Illogicality, deception ain't it? | |
| The reality is we all initiated | |
| Into the league of shadows | |
| I told Raven to keep her eye on the sparrow | |
| Iron Galaxy clique | |
| Clayface will shape-shift and you can get a face lift | |
| With a box cutter, that's mad cows son | |
| (Hell) you know I'm a ox-cutter | |
| Because Ox is so gutter | |
| From 125 all the way to Sutta | |
| [Hook - Vordul Megilah] | |
| Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls | |
| Keep it up, that's positive, patience is a virtue | |
| Don't let anything that irritates hurt you | |
| Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top | |
| Even when, struggling at the bottom, Gotham | |
| Yo I got you, like yo I got em, Gotham | |
| Got you, got you |
