[00:56.97]It's a feeling x10
[01:13.93]I woke up to it
[01:15.12]Heavy a light with trueness
[01:17.36]Always a way of losing
[01:18.98]Compelled to knew it
[01:20.11]My body traveled
[01:21.17]My mind waits behind the music
[01:23.30]My crime bemuses
[01:24.54]Relax inside my shiny blueness
[01:26.61]Time: I understand it
[01:28.24]But I never choose it
[01:29.68]I can't explain it with words
[01:31.98]I have to do it
[01:33.18]The ship I came here on vanished
[01:35.24]We automatic
[01:36.36]Don't try to plan it
[01:37.74]But chyeah just when it comes handle it
[01:39.92]Behind the lessons
[01:40.99]Miles beneath the slick dressing
[01:42.99]Niggas is stressing
[01:44.18]Bout shit they should be sure they guessing
[01:46.36]I twirl and cool and peel the rear view cause they are arresting
[01:49.61]But wear jumpsuit and chinese slippers--I'm still impressive
[01:52.93]Up on the racks
[01:54.24]Old school cat from way back
[01:56.05]Gave him my meal cause he's not wiping off that's my impression
[01:58.99]He asked me how you float all sharp and always have a fresh one
[02:02.99]And seem to know the answer to the most proverbial questions
[02:06.05]I told him Wangechi swirled it in a book of sketches
[02:09.49]I find the diamonds underneath the subtlest inflections
[02:12.93]Aw dude
[02:13.93]The spicier the food
[02:15.55]When you chew **** they rules
[02:17.30]It's a feeling x8
[02:32.48]
[02:55.74]At a tender age
[02:56.49]We learn to turn the page
[02:57.93]To mind the screen and stage
[02:59.31]To see who got the glaze
[03:01.18]To hustle up or fade
[03:01.99]Either get made or played
[03:04.80]Find your spot in the shade
[03:05.68]And nigga get paid
[03:06.30]So we internalize that
[03:07.37]But then we customize that
[03:09.05]By the relationship between where our ground and our sky's at
[03:12.11]I slowed it down once
[03:13.49]Everyone was going fast
[03:15.06]So I sped up cause I ain't one to reach the end last
[03:17.87]To where the grimy sparkles
[03:19.11]Amongst the shiny talkers
[03:20.62]The pistol-poppers that make pretty noise and get them dollars
[03:23.55]And while the world watches
[03:24.87]We send our street scholars
[03:26.37]To bust some presidents in hundred-thousand-dollar watches
[03:29.37]Some of the feds got us
[03:30.81]Some of us dead 'lotta us
[03:32.24]Still solid though using all the lips the streets taught us
[03:35.24]And what that heat cost us
[03:36.68]And what that loss gave us
[03:38.12]****ing with the people is always gonna come back around
[03:40.74]It's about to be
[03:41.55]Big movements from below
[03:42.74]The golden age lies ahead
[03:44.17]Struck
[03:45.24]Goes
[03:45.74]Pro-
[03:46.24]Ceed
[03:46.74]You can't lie to yourself
[03:48.37]You can't lie how it felt
[03:52.43]No surprise how the cards gettin dealt
[03:54.67]That's why
[03:56.37]I won't be back for a long time
