|
| [00:17.489] |
She said, betta betta |
| [00:19.683] |
Wait, no, that--what--how did she say it? |
| [00:21.825] |
She said |
| [00:23.393] |
She said betta betta betta betta |
| [00:25.247] |
Step on tip tip tip tip tip toe |
| [00:28.304] |
I pulled the meat out she like |
| [00:29.427] |
You gon' fit all that in this teeny hole? |
| [00:31.464] |
I know, i know, i know |
| [00:32.797] |
TMI: too much info |
| [00:34.468] |
Thats just how i'm feelin, forrealin' with my kinfolk |
| [00:37.264] |
Remember, rapping was asking could it all be so simple? |
| [00:40.477] |
Sitting there grinning mouth full of crab rangoon |
| [00:42.593] |
I am proof there are some people angst can't consume |
| [00:44.917] |
And i don't even eat that but the rhyme fit |
| [00:46.851] |
I step out the crib like iron giant |
| [00:48.731] |
All smiles with a view over they heads |
| [00:50.900] |
Sun Ra said most of 'em walking around already dead |
| [00:53.538] |
Thats why the gaze avoids the eyes |
| [00:55.811] |
To make object |
| [00:56.882] |
At this i object |
| [00:58.266] |
Abject prospects |
| [00:59.572] |
And the map is confused for terrain |
| [01:01.035] |
And the map is confused for brain |
| [01:02.628] |
And the map is piss-stained |
| [01:03.961] |
And the map is actually a paper towel with a Hershey squirt |
| [01:06.207] |
If i was a rapper i'd wake up early for work |
| [01:08.062] |
I woke up early for work |
| [01:09.316] |
I woke up early for work |
| [01:10.517] |
I woke up early for work |
| [01:11.301] |
I woke up yo and you know what i did? |
| [01:12.607] |
I woke up early and i came for |
| [01:13.495] |
Something to make a name for |
| [01:15.089] |
I woke up early and i - i felt something to feel insane for |
| [01:17.806] |
To feel pain for |
| [01:19.086] |
And, and, and be rid of all my shame for |
| [01:20.496] |
You know what, i came-- |
| [01:21.515] |
I came to consider direction |
| [01:22.638] |
To depict a new reflection |
| [01:24.232] |
Written in fingerprints on a mirror |
| [01:25.355] |
Just to hear her |
| [01:26.165] |
Gaia couldn't be any clearer |
| [01:27.602] |
You know you gotta water the root, little fish |
| [01:29.430] |
So i came for a reason |
| [01:30.893] |
Spreading little indiscriminate treasons no more |
| [01:32.957] |
Who could truly keep the score |
| [01:34.602] |
And keep their wits? |
| [01:35.778] |
Ah, each tally like shackles on their wrists |
| [01:38.338] |
And fear persists |
| [01:39.226] |
So i came for |
| [01:40.611] |
Something to teach me joy |
| [01:42.491] |
Something to deploy |
| [01:42.909] |
When time is bleak |
| [01:44.242] |
Perhaps its dark that i seek |
| [01:45.809] |
But its a strange fascination |
| [01:47.246] |
In a strange, fascist nation |
| [01:49.100] |
And I came for my mother |
| [01:51.086] |
My father, my siblings, my niggas, my lovers, my-- |
| [01:53.593] |
You know what? i came for my... |
| [01:54.534] |
Myself |
| [01:55.631] |
So i woke up early for work |
| [01:56.911] |
And i came for |
| [01:57.433] |
I woke up early |
| [01:58.452] |
I woke up early, I might have went back to sleep |
| [02:01.404] |
Yo, I woke up early but came late |
| [02:03.807] |
I got lost in the hours before break |
| [02:05.766] |
I sat and chewed flowers |
| [02:06.994] |
Feet submerged in muddy lake |
| [02:08.248] |
Slake rich, crayfish, bite the head |
| [02:10.599] |
No I don't know the meaning i just know the feeling |
| [02:12.793] |
Get up out of my dreads |
| [02:14.021] |
If stress run the world sweep the leg |
| [02:15.954] |
If you blessed you should say it |
| [02:17.365] |
I'm writing from a place of suspended belief |
| [02:19.193] |
A new conviction, bones and teeth |
| [02:21.466] |
Reasons got reasons just moments and seasons indulging each |
| [02:24.575] |
I remind me |
| [02:25.332] |
Fell inside my hat beneath a key lime tree, indeed |
| [02:28.650] |
Who is this king of glory? |
| [02:30.348] |
I'm out getting deep cups and psyllium husk |
| [02:32.646] |
I heard this might just free you up |
| [02:34.135] |
I don't have an iron for the crease |
| [02:35.781] |
I weaved a way for the world to wear me |
| [02:37.923] |
Weighted carries, milks and pools, fools |
| [02:40.039] |
I keep a monolith in my pocket |
| [02:42.051] |
My posture authoritative and anonymous |
| [02:43.931] |
How to, raise a free black child south of a lower heaven |
| [02:47.693] |
Small body big spirit |
| [02:50.828] |
|
