One more time come stay here
One more time I need you need you
Sweet sweet sweet
Chocolate and tobacco
Open it up open it up
How deep is my imagination?
Manifest real world situations from a fleeting thought
They sell distraction but I've never bought
Instagram locks a pentagram on iOS
For the ghoulish hearts
Foolish thots that's T-H-O-T
Canine faces in sheep spaces
Move gracefully fool me not
I'm not concerned with trendy lines
Demon time? never ever
Don't claim demonic themes even colloquially
Smoke with me
Frequency so high
Can't even joke with me
Float with me
They charge us for the freedom
But the hope is free
I hope you see get the money hopefully
If not you're living hopelessly
See what I did there?
The hope is me
No I'm not Barack cuz see that would be hypocrisy
This is no bureaucracy
I move in my lane alone
I've learned a lot walking this lonely road
Keep your mouth closed might expose your soul
And weaponize your ignorance
Not much is bliss
I speak on the truth every chance I get
Much to my chagrin the dummies win again
And then I learned it's not about the win
Sometimes knowing truth just has to be enough
Don't even call the bluff you gotta learn to hush
Let the snake constrict who it must
Meanwhile I'm fighting lust in this human husk
No TD Jakes but have you ever been swallowed up?
Tempted in our communications to go against my nature
I didn't have the responsibility which in fact I do have
So I'm in a way I'm just living
I'm a cat tryna make it in the you know in the world
Cuz I'm condemned to live in the world Condemned?
Condemned condemned condemned in the sense that
Condemned in the sense that when you're young
And also when you're old, you would rather
You know have around you you know expected things you know
To to know where everything is you know
And it's it's it's a little difficult but it's very valuable
To be forced to move one place to another
Deal with another set of situations all the time
And to accept that what this is going to be it is your life
Open it up
I see you bloviating
They run illusions as the world turns
Chocolate and tobacco as the world burns
There's never been a time quite like this
Man you know that shit's real
My music my God man you know that shit's real
You can tell how it feel
Real steel sharpens steel
We eat dinner off the grid now somebody feed Phil
Grateful for every meal not everybody eats still
Swallow this pill went from stolen merch at Aunt Lil's
Now they ask if I prefer the water sparkling or still
Me & DeVille code switching for the white gaze
That's G-A-Z-E in disbelief how much it eats me
Truthfully I wanna move like Jay-Z
No B no disrespect it's just a preference thing
See how simple things could be
Put this on repeat & understand my plight
Only time I'm anxious when I'm on a flight
Otherwise I'm cool as ice
Hand me a mic I just might get nice
Shake up the booth like a box of Mike and Ikes
Let's get back to truth tonight
In real life Mike is nice flow so tight
They think I got a genie wishing they could see me
Pick any verse yo eeny meeny
Big Ben rap is like my sixth sense
I've been nice since 06
Let's just try to focus
Like Dalai Lama wrote this
You don't know me like you thought you did
Tryna pull my cards again/?
I'ma have to show them this
This is what I am I'm a kind of poet
And if I'm a kind of poet then I'm responsible
From my own point of view
To the people who produce me
And the people who will come after me
You know so that when the holocaust comes
And it will come you know
Eventually eventually no matter how simple
Black and white dreams may be today
Life is not that simple
And sooner or later if I do my work
As I should do it
When I'm needed I'll be there
You know what I mean
People listening I know what you mean
Cause I think the most important thing for any of us
Is when what comes
Or when what we know will come comes
That we have the strength to say yeah it came
That's right
