Memories like the corners of my mind
Misty watered colored memories
Of the way
My mind you are my mind
Reflect with me
You know what I'm sayin'
We just sittin'on the porch
In Watts
Helicopter flyin'overhead
Lil n***as in the street throwin'dirt rocks
Feel me
Archaeological logic discovered Van Gogh's fossils
To paint a perfect picture
Twelve years a slave twenty years a spitter
Thirty seven years a n***a
Hopin'to see ninety bein'a strong black figure
As I stand and deliver
Breathe fire in Japan Godzilla
By popular demand till the fans see that God got iller
I'm like Cornel West with scales on my chest
You superman thugs caught Kryptonite to the flesh
See the hood got me stressed takin fists to the neck
Multiple arrest then I discovered KRS
Let us begin what where how or why
Will all be explained and if not fam we die
Losin'granny was the hardest
Good women I f**ked and left broken hearted
Turned up being retarded
Transformation to activist from an artist
Like young Malala who the Taliban would target
Shot in the head just 'cause she wanted to read
Till every person sex trafficed is free we gotta bleed
For what
'Cause n***as tell on themselves nowadays
Film it on Vine then wonder why crime don't pay
Yeah
Candid outlandish the dirty pistol I brandishe
Glad they didn't have camera phones
When I was young doin'bad s**t s**t
Yeah I just dated myself
I'm no spring chicken but why you hate on yourself
For five minutes of fame
Find yourself like Kat Stacks knocked out the frame
Locked in a cage
And b***hin'it's true you backwards hustlin'homie you snitchin'on you
I'm on my Descartes Diop Be-Bop Aristotle
Prehistoric talons twist the top off the bottle
My era is classic Tyrannosaurus Rex in the lab s**t
Leimert Park so I pass it Jurassic
I can think back but life goes on so keep livin'
Keep livin'
Oh no no no no
Can't take a thing back but life goes on so keep livin'
Keep livin'
Oh no no no no
There are couple things that maybe I would if I could
Forgive myself for I'm unforgiving
Yeah I throw this drink back
But life goes on so keep livin'keep livin'
Oh no no no no
In order to recollect exceptional memories
I developed a way to transform brainwaves into binary code from energy
Translate algorithms converted the information to digital
Uploaded compiled files of wisdom
Then projected them on a screen vivid beautiful scenes
Extract orchestrated symphonies and heavenly dreams
The alchemist
In kindergarten when kids was asking about alphabets
I was immaculate with astronomy mastering calculus
Seized from my parents during a scene when I was seven
They experimented on my brain up until I was age eleven
And at age thirteen I learned to literally stream
Molecules and teleport molecular structures with the beam
These are my memories soak them in with a notion
To fast forward the bad and play the good in slow motion
Now I astral project
Analyze Guam
Study Agent Orange bring back secrets from 'Nam
The government asked me to track the locals on Islam
They asked me the whereabouts of Boko Haram
And cracked my brain for catastrophic chatter that's insane
To extract data from satellites on missin'Malaysian planes
My memories my memories my memories
Although from only just a week ago
My memories my memories my memories
My memories my memories my memories
You are a
I can think back but life goes on so keep livin'
Keep livin'
Oh no no no no
Can't take a thing back but life goes on so keep livin'
Keep livin'
Oh no no no no
There are couple things that maybe
I would if I could
Forgive myself for I'm unforgiving
Yeah I throw this drink back
But life goes on so keep livin'
Keep livin'
Oh no no no no
My mind
You are of my mind yeah
You are of my mind yeah
You are of my mind yeah
