[00:20.29] I had a way then, losing it all on my own
[00:27.00] I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
[00:33.40]
[00:34.09] And I'm not sleeping now
[00:37.41] The dark is too hard to beat
[00:41.04] And I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me
[00:47.60] sure You the lights don't stop me
[00:49.78] Turn to stone shining when I'm alone
[00:54.45] And so I tell myself that I am strong
[00:58.63] Dreaming when they're gone
[01:01.01] Cause they're calling, calling, calling
[01:04.08] Calling, calling, calling
[01:05.61]
[01:08.42] You sure the lights don't stop me
[01:10.63] Turn to stone shining when I'm alone
[01:14.74]
[01:17.12] So, what do you bunches stand for?
[01:19.09] Dreads in the sky, I and I
[01:20.78] 2 new vans on a land 4
[01:22.47] Take that back, make that 2 new shoes on a van floor
[01:25.93] Me and my band out on that road
[01:27.92] On a never-back-down-from-a-stance tour
[01:29.86] Yeah, touch more souls than a dancefloor
[01:33.10] While they touch less tours than a hand or
[01:36.48] Ceiling fan or wait, let me tell ya slower
[01:39.22] Lift my fans up to the to the ceiling
[01:41.28] And you'll never touch the floor
[01:42.61]
[01:44.66] Now if noah need a rower, I'll be there with my oar
[01:47.85] Til we get back to the shore
[01:49.91] Dad made me a soldier, gi joe to these cobras
[01:52.84] Tryna fbi my panther, cia my sankofa
[01:56.15] Infiltrate my carter, illuminate my culture
[02:00.09] While they watching through that bunker
[02:01.84] But I stay up on my hustle
[02:03.60] Turn that belt back on theyself
[02:05.30] Now I watch them scream for help
[02:06.93] Like africa need aid, or black women as maids
[02:10.32] Uncover undercovers turn those maids to?mothers
[02:13.51] Take the hero out the nino, keep it real as treble trouble huh?
[02:18.19] Or maybe cartoon martin on the boondocks
[02:20.58] Flip the script on chicks who think they shit smells like perfume shops
[02:24.27] Half them girls find beauty without a magazine or movie
[02:27.45] She delila with them 45 or keisha with that uzi
[02:30.94] Now I know that's contradiction, wants and needs and competition
[02:33.66] But it's hard to stay on point with such extremes in opposition
[02:37.80] While we waiting on that compromise, proceed with that conscious eye
[02:41.54] New gang alert: hashtag #occupies
[02:44.45]
[02:45.01] Repping to the death of me, fnf what's left in me
[02:48.33] All my hate is for the fake recipes for?
[02:51.84] Only time I wrestle's when I'm wrestling with sex and lean
[02:55.02] Only way I settle if we wrestle over everythig
[02:58.48] I know that don't mix like ecstasy and ketamine
[03:02.14] Funny how I'm only sick if you never catch a thing
[03:05.63] Argue with your friends over what really the record means
[03:08.81] Back and forth about it's course, with professor's refereeing
[03:12.44] Why he so rebellious? up-front with his realness?
[03:15.68] They wanna be fiasco's, reproduce his failures
[03:19.17] Emperor is his alias, but not marcus aurelius
[03:22.55] This is more like sparta: kick you down a well, kid
[03:26.43]
[03:27.82] And on my last check, I copped that nsx just like pharrell did
[03:33.32]
[03:34.13] Well did, better days to come
[03:36.76] My only promise is I'll never ruin the young
[03:39.43] I'll never human and sung lyrics in a spirit that's
[03:42.61] Super human to some, keep you pursuin' the sun of
[03:46.24] Slums, plus, get up outta them, plus never forget
[03:49.79] This is where you from plus
[03:51.66] Make sure that you ballin when you come back up in them, plus
[03:55.29] We don't die, multiply, every single come-up
[03:57.42]
[03:58.39] A rumpa-pum-pum-yup
[04:00.02]
[04:01.27]
