Nah-nah-nah-nah, get up, get up

Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, get up

Alright

Potential perspectives shiftin', half of it predetermined

The rest of it left to pigment

Heavin' these hooks in the ocean, hope the intent of fishin'

Reelin' in realism, cut the lights where potential missin'

Sneakin' to see the homies, let evil agenda slip in

They wanna go catch 'em slippin', before they get shipped to prison

I try to be level headed, cool when the drama set in

The search for belongin' could be my endin' if I'ma let it

Stuck in the middle seat, big homies belittled me

Know they need me for purpose and so they play me like middle C

Provoke 'em on purpose, push every visible button until he pressurized

We prone to pettiness, it ain't no differences to set aside

A brief exchange of fated collisions before they let it fly

When you escape from death too many times, you think you'll never die

If God was really watchin' all his work and sees impurities through better eyes

He's wrong for leavin' black boys weaponized

Vision activated when the sun down

Dancin' with the demons to the night glow

Beatin' on the window like a drum line

Faces congregatin' when my eyes close

And I been out here waitin' for the right time

It ain't no GPSing where we might go

King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine

And I been gettin' ready for the light show

And I been gettin' ready for the light show

And I been gettin' ready for the light show

And I been out here waitin' for the right time

It ain't no GPSing where we might go

King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine

And I been gettin' ready for the light show

Potential perspectives shiftin', half of it predetermined

The rest of it left to pigment

Chokin' the truer me, suit and tie never suited me

Did my schoolin' in private, and publicly they abusin' me

We wear uniformity to display opportunity

But the truth is we foolishly idolize who we foolin', see

I sit and reminisce on all the places I used to be

Tryna see if my youth could be enough for a eulogy

I search for analogies to convey commonalities

Put the pain into metaphors with the hope they gon' get me more

Search for understandin', open handed, my shoulders sore

Tryna play the game be hard as fuck when you know the score

Accordin' to normal, I'm down and out, and the clock is ending

They struggle with comprehending, the premise of not pretending

Perpetuate propaganda

Presumptions of people who fallin' victim to systems that take away

And they never can see the difference

They incentivize, stir the hate to energize

Praise for those who memorize and squeeze enough to televise

Feed your fear of fallin', so you never rise

Degrees of separation, can't maintain in education, then you ill-advised

Fuck a politician, bitch, they only serve to minimize

Feed the people silly lies to keep the peace in city lines, I see inside

If God was really watchin' all his work and sees impurities through better eyes

He's wrong for leavin' black boys weaponized

Vision activated when the sun down

Dancin' with the demons to the night glow

Beatin' on the window like a drum line

Faces congregatin' when my eyes close

And I been out here waitin' for the right time

It ain't no GPSing where we might go

King of diamonds waitin' for the light shine

And I been gettin' ready for the light show
