Lyrics for Sometimes

Oh, sometimes, sometimes, it get real dangerous, y'all It get real dangerous, y'all Everyone, oh Prisoners of Azkaban, thinkin' of a master plan Images of grandeur by Jamel Shabazz, Dapper Dan Clap your hands, whether you in Paterson or Pakistan Richard Wright, black boy that grew into a blacker man Early African or European, which was more supreme The visions vary, this shit get scary, inform your team My dignitary consigliere is more a deen My skin tone is aubergine, I'm a war machine Sinner who's casted all the stones he can manag械 (oh, sometimes, sometimes, it get real dangerous, y'all) But with a home team advantage, most p械ople don't see the damage Guess I'm gon' need a bandage, if we plan to be companions (it get real dangerous, y'all) Drum solos from the hammers be mimicking speaking Spanish (everyone, oh) They vanish like Atlantis, come to find out they've been banished Recording for the cameras and abandoning they manners For lies that intertwine like a violet vine I threw the rhyme book straight into the fire this time, I'm thinking Oh, sometimes, sometimes, it gets real dangerous, y'all It gets real dangerous, y'all Everyone, oh
