[00:05.43]Nah-nah-nah-nah, get up, get up
[00:12.74]Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, get up
[00:16.87]Alright
[00:20.75]Potential perspectives shiftin', half of it predetermined
[00:23.29]The rest of it left to pigment
[00:24.28]Heavin' these hooks in the ocean, hope the intent of fishin'
[00:26.83]Reelin' in realism, cut the lights where potential missin'
[00:29.46]Sneakin' to see the homies, let evil agenda slip in
[00:31.40]They wanna go catch 'em slippin', before they get shipped to prison
[00:35.07]I try to be level headed, cool when the drama set in
[00:37.28]The search for belongin' could be my endin' if I'ma let it
[00:39.52]Stuck in the middle seat, big homies belittled me
[00:42.27]Know they need me for purpose and so they play me like middle C
[00:44.50]Provoke 'em on purpose, push every visible button until he pressurized
[00:47.75]We prone to pettiness, it ain't no differences to set aside
[00:50.64]A brief exchange of fated collisions before they let it fly
[00:52.85]When you escape from death too many times, you think you'll never die
[00:55.67]If God was really watchin' all his work and sees impurities through better eyes
[00:58.87]He's wrong for leavin' black boys weaponized
[01:01.94]Vision activated when the sun down
[01:03.97]Dancin' with the demons to the night glow
[01:06.37]Beatin' on the window like a drum line
[01:08.99]Faces congregatin' when my eyes close
[01:11.63]And I been out here waitin' for the right time
[01:14.13]It ain't no GPSing where we might go
[01:16.68]King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine
[01:19.47]And I been gettin' ready for the light show
[01:24.42]And I been gettin' ready for the light show
[01:29.67]And I been gettin' ready for the light show
[01:32.02]And I been out here waitin' for the right time
[01:34.66]It ain't no GPSing where we might go
[01:36.90]King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine
[01:39.47]And I been gettin' ready for the light show
[01:42.13]Potential perspectives shiftin', half of it predetermined
[01:44.96]The rest of it left to pigment
[01:46.16]Chokin' the truer me, suit and tie never suited me
[01:48.51]Did my schoolin' in private, and publicly they abusin' me
[01:50.69]We wear uniformity to display opportunity
[01:53.23]But the truth is we foolishly idolize who we foolin', see
[01:56.22]I sit and reminisce on all the places I used to be
[01:58.97]Tryna see if my youth could be enough for a eulogy
[02:01.52]I search for analogies to convey commonalities
[02:03.93]Put the pain into metaphors with the hope they gon' get me more
[02:06.54]Search for understandin', open handed, my shoulders sore
[02:09.03]Tryna play the game be hard as fuck when you know the score
[02:11.69]Accordin' to normal, I'm down and out, and the clock is ending
[02:14.40]They struggle with comprehending, the premise of not pretending
[02:16.50]Perpetuate propaganda
[02:17.66]Presumptions of people who fallin' victim to systems that take away
[02:20.76]And they never can see the difference
[02:22.43]They incentivize, stir the hate to energize
[02:24.74]Praise for those who memorize and squeeze enough to televise
[02:26.84]Feed your fear of fallin', so you never rise
[02:29.13]Degrees of separation, can't maintain in education, then you ill-advised
[02:32.17]Fuck a politician, bitch, they only serve to minimize
[02:34.58]Feed the people silly lies to keep the peace in city lines, I see inside
[02:37.80]If God was really watchin' all his work and sees impurities through better eyes
[02:41.34]He's wrong for leavin' black boys weaponized
[02:42.80]Vision activated when the sun down
[02:46.27]Dancin' with the demons to the night glow
[02:48.56]Beatin' on the window like a drum line
[02:50.97]Faces congregatin' when my eyes close
[02:53.67]And I been out here waitin' for the right time
[02:56.23]It ain't no GPSing where we might go
[02:58.60]King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine
[03:01.33]And I been gettin' ready for the light show
