lyrics

Verse:
Yo the time was wasting, but we saw it as ventilation,
call it what you wanted but we just called it a day spent,
shit you couldn’t learn in the crib but was always saved with,
or saved by, so say bye and hit the pavement,
Rules of engagement, don’t ever rule out the amazement
of better dreaming from never sleeping due to a grave shift,
boats in abundance, shipments in corner containers,
locally funded, literally foreign exchanges,
Know the occasion, on occasion I had to stay in,
but most of the time I was outside where the play is,
difference was, I understood what all of the issues was, s
ame way I understood a pistol run,
such a dichotomy, all on the sides of me,
wasn’t much room left, so nothing else got to me,
from John Coltrane to Danny Simmons to Richard Wright
to friends with a brick of white, nothing was outta reach,
but fuck it be proud of me, this could’ve went wild left,
the key to it is never leaving it where denial’s left,
I knew what I was gunning for, and who was fixing my aim so when the gun go off,
shit’ll be one shot, told there’s only one top, but that the bottom got wild space,
regardless of how many people is on that ground chase,
circling around base, opinions in the kitchen how they circling around base,
way too many cooks, but I was raised by a crook who found his way through a book
and another one and another one, and changed the way you look
at his son and at his two other sons, my brothers and me,
swear to God I put my arm up over what they could see,
So may Jehovah or Allah or Buddah bless us,
or whoever else you’re calling like “par can you protect us?”,
I zip up my Colombia jacket while my man is beeping Colombians
like “yo this shit ain’t locking at all, fuck it I’m done with them”,
contracts voided over pay phones,
I’m there for moral support but need to make my way home
My pops got tickets for “Bring in The Noise, Bring in The Funk,
and BBQs after that yo this shit is a jump,
all my men’s in the front as we load up inside the Wrangler,
same one like the one I went and bought where the roof change up,
And all of that do change us, could’ve been a different view,
never know the bags under your view until they stick with you,
but sleep is the cousin of the death, so never sleep,
my pop said “I’ve been up since you was born, best believe,
best believe you’re gonn’ believe it all when you get to be”,
and I been up since December 20th, 2017, do believe
