[00:28.38]Somebody wanted guidance, looked inside to find it
[00:31.20]You know them blind kids, money on their eyelids
[00:33.65]Kissin' on the fly gyp ship from the Egyptian islands
[00:36.46]Gems in the hymns said the chant
[00:38.52]The moon man grins, hair on my chin grows
[00:41.09]Hair on my chest burn
[00:42.66]Flare in my soul cold, I can't sleep
[00:44.53]Let alone, stay awoke, smoking dope like
[00:46.80]Its like Shaitan find another way to choke
[00:49.67]Another day broke, money ain't my motto, nope
[00:52.17]Traded peace for the sorrow that I swallow
[00:54.55]Bottle after bottle, like the role models of the hollow
[00:57.55]Feeling like a seedless avocado
[00:59.86]Crowd screaming "Bravo! Bravo!" here's a dollar
[01:02.74]For your sorrows, can I borrow your time more tomorrow?
[01:06.18]Watch a fargo, feeling far gone from the chart that I was gonna follow
[01:09.86]It's hard to make songs when a war's going on outside
[01:12.74]No man is safe from
[01:13.68]And you can run but you can't hide forever
[01:16.05]Mother won't let up, telling me I should get up
[01:18.74]And in the meantime, on that mean grind for cheddar
[01:21.61]Underground, master shredder, gave my brother my leather
[01:24.24]Put on a sweater, I counted my change
[01:27.05]I added my blessings, I stepped into the rain
[01:29.61]To wash my brain. My friends say that I don't talk the same
[01:32.24]So dark like we don't give off the same light
[01:35.24]Wish I seen it all in plain sight to explain it on this great mic
[01:39.55]Amplify, stay wide to the nation-side, Across oceans
[01:42.93]Where the faiths collide and talk omens like grace that died
[01:45.93]On the brink of trying to make my mind
[01:47.99]Save my soul at the same time, make this rhyme
[01:50.49]Wonder, "Will I be saved in time?"
[01:52.24]Make Salah, say grace, in case God change his mind
[01:55.37]How insane am I? Just the same as you
[01:57.99]Came here, What you came to do?
[02:00.06]Just saying the truth
[02:01.55]A little more
[02:05.30]More out of life
[02:20.55]Sometimes we gotta blank out
[02:22.42]And touch the universe on some
[02:23.99]Fuck rap back with my back on the wall rap shit
[02:26.85]Cappin' at all, nappin' on God
[02:28.86]Knowing damn well half of your squad
[02:30.61]Still ain't found John
[02:31.79]Baptist, Barnes, drowning him
[02:34.23]Swimming in a pool full of shark fins
[02:36.17]Surrounding him. Rain dancing when dark days
[02:38.42]Have clouded him, cause niggas play God
[02:40.42]They just building up, doubted him
[02:41.86]Rapping about colors like someone's proud of him
[02:44.29]But don't praise fathers cause half of you grew without one
[02:46.92]Malcolms, Martins, Pacs, Chris Wallaces
[02:49.29]Muhammads, Khalil Gibrans, Akhenatens
[02:52.10]Gods and goddesses, following false promises
[02:54.36]Laws and politics, full-ride scholarships
[02:57.17]Still don't know what time it is
[02:58.79]Models and actors, rappers, coke, bottle of cris'
[03:01.36]Rope and bad words. Hope plastered on minds of ma?ana
[03:04.67]Obama, Osama, Mama, Papa
[03:07.24]God we gotcha
[03:08.67]Dealing with censorship, sponsorship, friendships
[03:14.73]Relationships, slave ship minimum wages
[03:17.36]Racist shit, we gotta find why's to change this shit
[03:20.48]Elevation, higher foundation
