They say I don't sound like a killer Well, how a killer sound? Sweaty back to sheet or ground Whitey wanna see me down Why you wanna see me down? Through the rain, the sleet, the street showers The break of the hours, debris of the towers Survived nine eleven I'll be damned if we don't make it to heaven Young Muhammed Atta the way I oughta No plane lessons, got over the election See all I gotta do to get some rest in My bitch was shaped like a crescent The only walls that work are hers I hope you catch that message She used to make me feel protected Then watched her give up on me, like Like I was average, man that shit was depressing! In this cold, cold world Where I ain't even got Obama, my little mama How I'm supposed to feel? Had it to here, so I know I'm goin' platinum this year If I don't sell, I'ma steal a million copies, I swear If I don't feel inspired, steal a couple verses, don't care Bad news got me energized so I stand with my guys Running for the C, they thought we was the Central Park 5 And we gon' need the percentage to match how many of y'alls is blind That's 85 for me, 10 for the team, the rest for you can slide Why can't we all get what we want? It's an easy deal for me But I know history, how it's meant to be I ain't comin' out with victory 'Cause y'all ain't got no ends for me I've been hurt by you before Like I've felt it, I'm sure But I mean a long time ago, like before I was born Because you're on my mind and bet I see you every time I look in the mirror On the wall Think of the times I used to pat myself For not being too dark after all Think of you morning, noon, and night When it's too dark after all 'Til suddenly white was warm and brought love in the same form You see how the universe work? Takes my hurt and places the cure in the blue eyes of the storm Now back to myself Where I could've fought it off, never letting on that I couldn't move without holding onto you My alabaster hobby Never letting you know that it was not glamorous To dream of white limbs spread holy ghost over my body Instead, thinkin' white on Brown Should be left to peanut butter on Wonder Bread (Hit it!) It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and red! Wonderin' if the bread can dead all that thinking Make it okay Tell Jay to send a million my way It can be done Like what's better than one billionaire? (None!) If they knew it was good for they heads They'd put that breesh on buying some new Timbs for my feet 'Cause these dirty shits gon make the meanest Head-bussin' militant out of me And when we hit the goddam C, I know ain't getting no seats Y'all hungry for change and upheave, just step on my feet And the revolution is here You step on these Timbs and the revolution is right— NOW! *Laughter* God damn, God da—d-damn! Go get that old shit! I saw the world turn right-side up As I thought it turned upside down The way your chemistry was changed By words, and then paper It made you forget about life But what about the planet? Everyone around you sought to make a better world And that was aight But they didn't come up with any equations for a better world So what are you waiting on? The end of the world? The world ended five thousand years ago ('Til I'm bloody and red, with one in the head!) How beautiful, the world But you're frightened by its heat And how he laid it to you oven-style Forgetting this road you travel Might not be yours forever To love and not be loved back Now you got Burns on your values, like Oops, party's over Said I'm owed some of the pie But still you owe me ten There's only five to get So I go bang bang and shoot 85's blind Then there's the 10 Yakub likes to pretend So who's the 5 percent? I love New York, but why? Baby, oh baby Y'all like that shit? Run that shit back! Slauson Malone, holla at me! Baby, oh baby Don't look at me like you know me lately Always up, but don't keep waiting Oh baby, won't you want to stay For the matrix, we can linger where it's clearer Always, ooh Oh baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Baby, won't you (won't you) Been acting strangely lately Probably 'cause you tried to play me Baby Oh baby, won't you (won't you) Oh baby, won't you (won't you) Oh baby, won't you (won't you) Oh baby Won't you Put a curse on you! Va empezando la velaria Que le hacemo' a Babalú Dame diecisiete velas Pa' ponerla' en cruz Que dame un cabo de tabaco Mañengue Y un palito de aguardiente Babalú, Babalú aye Yo quiero pedir A Babalú Un negrito bonito Como tú Que tenga dinero Y que no se muera Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Babalú aye, Babalú Speak! That's mad cash! The block is hot right now And I'm outside, I'm in the shorts And I'm in the Puerto Rico slippers Know what I'm sayin'? So the devil popped out in Medina Thinking he was all big and bad And then he met Red Burns And boy tried to drop his nuts on him And you know I don't know what's good with these motherfuckers, man The devil got his ass beat Six piece with the biscuit and the drink I heard he was leakin' But that's beside the point Niggas out here got empty stomachs and full mailboxes And all they wanna do is beat they chests And swing they dicks around I guess that's how life go I don't even know who to blame for it These lil niggas are on some "I'm Dirty Dan" shit Don't nobody win when you cross Red Burns Now all the fuckin' windows is broken Never thought I'd get to meet the devil Never thought I'd see him face to face Heard he always worked alone That he seldom wrote or used the phone So I walked right up to meet him at his place (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha) Now! Let us pray Li-lickwood means rewind, gunshot means forward You requested it so we rewind Yessit! More chune for your hairline And remember The bag! It's that bag talk! You purified me, caveman You gave me my purpose, my reason Turned me into Caesar, not the white man neither I am ape, but you write donkey on my back And go on waitin' on the end of the world Only the world ended five thousand years ago Where the future, I have plans Caveman, do you know where the world came from? At first there was nothing Then nothing turned itself inside out and became something Why don't you turn yourself inside out? Like my feet do when I run and they turn white To match your face in the caves you're chased back into So then then you appear, to make my chemistry change To make me sad, to make me strange And then away 12 degrees south, 78 degrees east (We must remember to hide our Kings) Those are directions, but you won't find me there You can't find anything when you don't see me Like a black hole in space That's the Earth, how wide the world How vast the emotions that wonder with the mind The moment when the mind's anguish eats the solace And tells it to be true That you were just like me 'Til the war outside claimed you And you're beautiful Only it didn't matter that you were beautiful When the world ended five thousand years ago And it won't matter now What's your beauty to do when it all comes down? You're on the wrong side on the end of time With all your righteousness I told you then you would be where you are now But you kept telling me about your righteousness What's the price of your righteousness? SPF suck my dick, you heard? A woman will do wrong for the man she loves A woman will do wrong for the man she loves A woman will do wrong for the man she loves A woman will do wrong for the man she loves Lift-off Ay-pa I know that niggas wanna see me fall Just so they can say they seen it all I live my whole life tryna seam the fort But it hurt my older siblings who had seen or fought I seen the water and the blood And light my skin to the soil at the meeting draw Darkest skin like the dirt but the light that I lean towards The sun hot, but the ground doesn't seem as warm Blue and green eyes, that's why I see the storm But I still took the leap inside because I needed arms I can feel my body leave above the sweeping floors I let my ego go in hopes that she would teach me more And she did She showed me that the precious still lie at the rising of the bliss So before you reach the gates, you still need to cross a bridge Young kids, but we goin' through a lot Last year, I figured all the struggles That my pops had been goin' through Looking for transparent here it go You could still see the scratches in the gold I hope my skin get blacker than my soul To the blackness, here I go A woman will do wrong for the man she loves A woman will do wrong for the man she loves She can't stay away from the man she loves She'll forget about her pride for the man she loves Even though she may know, he is bad Hear what I say now! Og I ereh ssenkcalb otni (Like a train) Motherfuckin' right I been waiting long Like come on C, what you think I'm standing here for? We a dying force on this iron horse Can't even steal phones no more Not like I used to And them four crackheads deserve AC too Cus there's always crackheads I hate to see 'em sweat Like come on C, you got the tunnel black on me And I only knew you blue Like I'm last in the race, all you think we for is to wait Waiting for good court decisions like they comin' Waiting your tables Waiting for you to let us know if we're qualified Like it's comin' Waiting at the ER to die, like 'God I'm comin' Come on C, late ain't no way to be There's a train that runs underground And it's got a big fat A on it No C, just big fat A's on 'em I'm late to where I wanna go Fast for them, for me always slow Please take me where I gotta go (What time is it?
