[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 ******
[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]
