Lyrics for Land of Nod

You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit, I ain't that creative You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit, I ain't that creative Had to repel calm to get things clickin' Pack back to Belmont with slim pickins Said "what up cuz, it's love" 'fore there was anything Crippin' Did over forty foul winters, I ain't no spring chicken No arrests, just a few court summons Got someone to long for me after knowin' my shortcomin's Death toll highest when hot, I'm wishin' for short summers And trust is a must before we could talk numbers I delete the doctrine of "retreat's an option" Must defend, if up to them, we'd be locked, eatin' toxin Flamin' tool in plain view, could never let the cops in Least one foot in the square's what we revere as boxin' String o' itchy trigger fingers, where they act rash You could tell I had a wack past The opponent every wakin' moment tryin' stack cash Come through, bricks, new whip, equipped for backlash You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit, I ain't that creative You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit Fiends took grams as we shook hands, 'cause neither had a fair shake Already livin' with prisoners, I couldn't be scared straight Didn't invite friends over, 'cause never had a spare plate Anyone who made it out of here, I wouldn't dare hate Generally outgoin', but around the decoy Malaise most days, be years before I speak joy What they profess is estrogen, and I don't eat soy And I can't party when they party, tryna kill each boy Moses to the hoes, learned from burnin' bush Had to have some pull, before I should turn and push Was on the corner by night confirmed as rooks But made more in the job than was earned as crooks Put part of me in the art, like I'm pendin' an appendage Invested since the beginnin', in the end I want percentage When night's over, might know it, dependent with descendants Was always the same one word when my family got the sentence You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit, I ain't that creative You can tell I'm in fact a native I live this vivid shit, I ain't that creative
