00:00My niggas be smokin' on somethin' loud Head to the clouds, I ain't even steppin'
00:22out Tired of stickin' out in the crowd
00:25This world is changin' right in front of me Gray hairs, I'm agin' quicker than I thought I'd be
00:50Please believe these flows teach egos to freeze and then reseed
00:53I'm C4 beneath your jeep the second you turn that key Holdin' heat blows, your weak flows right out the water
00:58The father, boy, I work smarter and harder My style got a restraining order, don't bother
01:02I charter unseen territories and order To push it farther than you niggas had ever thought of
01:06I caught a lot of murder charges, turn artists to martyrs When I rock, Doc turns to goddess
01:11Fiends turn to kings, dreams turn to things tangible My hands are full with grands I pull from stanzas
01:15No, I can't go slow, I'm Sandra Bulli, the proceeved speeder Don't breathe, snow creed of color
01:20That won't heed to the warning The planet'll shake when I perform it
01:23Tectonic plates from a place with texts on their waist So stay safe or get left with chest on your face
01:27As death waits for your last breath, I'ma pass the test Yes, I'm a master chef, wanna taste and pay for it
01:32They claim they're real, but they're seldom straight for it
01:34The pain I feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame
01:37I spit fire at the devil while the angels sang The flow change, but Jermaine's the same
01:41I'm plain Jane, not a chain on my neck, but shine like baguettes
01:44Ashamed not to flex to rhyme like the rest My mind's quite depressed if I don't write these
01:48I'm Spike Lee of the audio, back in my barrio Parties got shot up, so I built up all my cardio
01:53Dodge shells, collect coins like a Mario But this is not a game, an experience, I'm serious
01:58Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
02:02Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
02:12My niggas be smokin' on somethin' loud Head to the clouds, I ain't been steppin' out
02:19Tired of stickin' out in the crowd This world is changin' right in front of me
02:26Gray hairs, I'm agin' quicker than I thought I'd be
02:30I'm that bass in your trunk, the bullet that missed Trump
02:32The gun that jammed cause it seemed God had other plans
02:34The son of man extendin' his hand, the son of Sam in forgiveness
02:37For all of the homicides we witnessed, the over-dramatized
02:39The traumatized with sickness, thrown in a pan and caramelized for richness
02:42And served on a plate with sirloin steak to billionaires
02:45Who don't care the world's gon' break, long as they make money off it
02:48Pain brings profit, one man gains it, soon as the next man lost it
02:51There's a bridge you can walk to hear God talk
02:53But there are real slim odds a rich man crosses
02:55Cause greed is a poisonous seed, indeed
02:57As it spreads like weeds through the mind's apple trees
02:59I proceed with caution, and I'm not flossin'
03:01Unlike some, I'm not defined by my fortune
03:03I'm defined by rhymes, though I'm in my prime
03:05There was times that I was down cause I thought I lost it
03:07But no, lo and behold, as my poetry grows
03:09I give all glory to God as the story unfolds
03:11And the gray hairs that grow on my head will show
03:13Ain't no time limit to get it, you ain't never too old
03:15So keep hold of your dream, no matter how it seems
03:17If you don't water your lawn, well then it won't stay green
03:19I seen babies turn fiends, addicted to the screen
03:21The dad shares, cashiers replaced by machines
03:23Don't buy, subscribe, so you can just stream
03:25Your content like rent, you won't own a thing
03:27Before long, all the songs the whole world sings
03:29Will be generated by latest of AI regimes
03:31As all of our favorite artists erased by a screen
03:33From the wayside, aye, whatever happened to human beings?
03:51Yeah, my kids be smokin' on somethin' loud
