EPMD, bro I'm in flight mode

Machavelli, switchin' them time zones

I lock the doors and shut the windows to my life

I ain't gon' open up again for no one, I ain't got the time bro

They hit me with the same stunt

Two birds dead from the one stone, both came up out the same gun

And if they want I take em down, show them where the chains from

But I'm awake bro, where you think I got the name from?

I'm living life with no regrets

They tryna burn me up the morning, keep on going head til' I'm dead

I really brought this shit to live, you know? I live it like I'm Fred

If they wan' stop me, blow a hole up through my head, yeah

I'm flying meters with no parachute

I'm coming down, I see them run they like in Bandicoot

Keep talking bout rapping like you ain't had a clue

Don't ever bring that shit to my door, for I embarass you

But that's the way that my life goes

I'm switching cycles, bitch I'm in flight mode

I'm boutta turn this game sideways with a blindfold

Why you think I'm called awake? It weren't a typo, yeah

And I don't even drink

Half the stuff that's coming out this scene, like they don't even think

They wanna push me to the edge but I'm on the brink

Life's sweet, trying hard it won't buy you dreams

EPMD, bro I'm in flight mode

Machavelli, switchin' them time zones

I lock the doors and shut the windows to my life

I ain't gon' open up again for no one, I ain't got the time bro

Yeah
