If you start calculating my worth, the E starts showing up

I’ve witnessed rivers in my Father’s wrinkles

Scared when I was little

Immigrants with scant english

Raising two children with you

I've witnessed family members waste their nickles

On side street titties and liquor

Women and whiskey distract your mission

You ain’t keep it p, you just a twinkle

Looked up to you until all your kids got resentful

Deep things forgiven

How do I aim to be a leader with power

When I don’t often get clean in a shower?

Bad seeds we gave sunlight too

Please remove it

I give you permission

Just take away my excuses

If you’re not in my life, I’m useless

If you start calculating my worth, the E starts showing up

If Jonathan still rides for me, then we rise

The tank never hits the song title, defiant

Fed your whole circle off the wave

But never thanked Poseidon

Hunting Moby Dick blinded

The jin always creeping around with no tonic

His hip is equipped with layoffs, it keeps firing

The proof of God ends up discovered with science

Known to keep a Tom in position like Scientology

You know? the creator of My Space keeps redesigning

You know?

We on a cruise euro stepping to different islands

Been in Hell so long thought it was Iceland

Moved to the West, fell some steps

And now we climbing

If you start calculating my worth the E starts showing up

They didn’t really sleep on the pen’s scribbles

But were docile until Kyrie learned to dribble

Speak enough truth the public thinks it’s a riddle

I’m good off performing on Jimmy Kimmel

I’m good!

I’m good off surviving my hood and getting paid in Skittles

I’m good

I’m good off the kibble

Tell enough truth with your life become a signal

Bet Too Short on the stock they prop up

They’ll blow the whistle

Break ya man’s down into minerals

The sweat fills swimming pools

This ain’t opening for Rakim for free days

We move mountains non-physical, very literal

A bunch of facts in between unsaid but you get it

Domino matches won with a dominant giggle

Posthumous ain’t allowed

You get it now or don’t get it

do you?

If you start calculating my worth the E starts showing up

Offered my blood, you wanted Arizona

We took pauses like a semi colon

To analyze the things exported

These machines still wash you dry

And pay your hoard in quarters

With a machine by my side like Florence when the war hits

My veins still shriek grief from the Diaspora

Smoke fills the air as the L gets shorter
