[00:01.20] I went to bed at midnight
[00:03.83] And the clock said "One, two, three
[00:06.83] Go 'head and close your eyelids
[00:09.40] And then tell me what you see."
[00:12.69] Cause every word that comes through me
[00:15.28] It was born in a nightmare
[00:17.55]
[00:24.39] I met some old friends recently
[00:26.92] They on a whole new frequency
[00:29.81] I made some new friends the other day
[00:32.52] But they was talking 'bout colorways
[00:35.49] You can't rock clothes like Kanye
[00:38.08] Then go home with frozen entrees
[00:39.79]
[00:46.09] Yo, Give me food truck tacos
[00:49.30] Heavy sour-cream, no cilantro
[00:52.64] Rap's all post-modern
[00:55.38] A bunch of style authors but no fathers
[00:58.60] I stay familiar with my lineage
[01:01.32] And spend a lot of time defending it
[01:03.84]
[01:06.55] Yeah, I think I would've made a great panther
[01:12.97] I used to be a break dancer
[01:15.97] And I used to smoke a pack a day
[01:18.80] But I got scared of the face cancer
[01:21.67] I pray to god like Esther Rolle
[01:24.45] That I'll be blessed with some breath control
[01:27.17]
[01:54.48] Yo, I want shag on my floor charred carpeting
[01:58.10] And "Oh god," singing four-part harmony
[02:01.39] Go to the valley, get a manager
[02:04.20] Who specializes in porn-star marketing
[02:06.88] I wish every day was Halloween
[02:09.65] I'd be Frylock from the Aqua Teens
[02:18.49]
[02:18.88] Yo. Why? I don't know why
[02:22.51] Maybe to make the time go by
[02:24.93] Maybe I got bats in my belfry
[02:27.21] But if it was that, who could tell me?
[02:30.69] You say the things that you overheard
[02:33.27] I see the things that you don't observe
[02:36.34] The written life strictly synthesized
[02:39.32] And tricks the eyes like lower-thirds
[02:41.88]
[02:42.49] I see the future for city niggas
[02:44.65] Gang-banging with samplers on midi-triggers
[02:47.36] A different future for rural folks
[02:50.29] Cause that will be where the tourists go
[02:53.46] To take pictures of families with real-life first cousins, sisters and aunties
[02:58.85]
[03:03.80] Yo, I got a heart like a Buick motor
[03:07.64] And play my part like a super soldier
[03:10.46] I got a mind like a steel toe
[03:13.63] I be walking on my heels, though
[03:16.82] The internet and the cable's out
[03:19.20] Man, I should go get a paper route
[03:21.87]
