With that safety on, darlin', would you still eye me? Feel like the type to loan pearls out, interest steady climbing Hi, Miss, you gon' have to rotate now, I miss steady shining Guess I hit the game like Kanye had did Heads up, woulda been clutch, right? Really tryin', God, not to miss my window Blind sniper in the dark of the night Back spasms for the nights you napped on Back crackin', black boner all up in her backbone Stop actin', shed that skin, pop the capsule Leave your body back home Then Bankhead Bounce to the other side of life, I get my naps on Bear that shit My skin's a target, hard to compare that shit If it look good on you, then they gon' hate than a bitch Wear that shit, rule of thumb Cowards scared as fuck to do what ain't been done I'm just scared as fuck to show up to God with the "I ain't done" Look on my face, I ain't one to run in place And try and not to pull a Drac' 'cause it's my first time in here Really caught me at the fuckin' worst time in here West Side, so you know it's hearse time in here So don't you dare act like we never been here before In yo' principal office, been suspended before Put some acid on your tongue, I recommended it, bro Earth, wind, fire, air bendin' these hoes And don't you dare act like we never been here before Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go Probably the same place where my memories go To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though From the land of red clay and lottery worship Where all of these murders is definitely probably on purpose And all the colicky children getting put out of the churches The preacher mean-muggin' your mama like, "Swallow ya' words, bitch!"

When you see the face of God, you ain't gotta be nervous Especially if in your life you tried to follow your purpose You could've been a serial killer with the coolest symbol Three razor cuts in the forehead of the fifth victim Illuminati, numerology, triangular prism Pendulum swingin', maybe later I'll be bangin' some bitches Ain't gotta explain to you niggas, we all know danger's appealin' We all know pain's the realest way to try to say what you feelin' It's amazin', got malaise from my illness And that's a double entendre, but I don't expect y'all to feel this Not from the dreamy bohemian or the loopiest nubian Got the gluteus maximus?
