Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 2]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 3]

Yeah

With a platinum plaque

It's like Rob and George and Jack

The mind fears what the blinds hide

But I'm here on the blind side

Hangin' up till the line dies

Then off the hook for the crimes tried

Gettin' awful looks from tribe

Tribe unlawful juugs when you climb skies

[Verse 4]

That's Robin Hood

Arrows of the richest still in Hollywood

And featherweight, I step by step let it escalate

So you can get it, won't tell you if I hit it

We can make pi if we don't fidget

[Verse 5]

Xzibit, Pimp My Ride exquisite

We Gs coach us back if we die in business

My Lord is my chemist

My sword is from Khemet

Egyptian fonts and ankhs

Scottish rites with Mont Blancs

Let us stomp

Yeah

I walk as my father walked

Master builder is what I thought

[Verse 6]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 7]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 8]

Yeah

With a golden means, so the overseer

Get overseen and the overhearers

Are the older themes

Can see the bell but don't know the rings

The rings are not sounds

But circles

We wear these on your virtues

See through these circles just like Steve Urkle

Till it's all universal

[Verse 9]

And it harmonizin' like proportion to the largest size

And it's dynamic in the high standards

So each degree has a part to pry

See, big worlds have little worlds

That feed on their velocity

And little worlds have lesser worlds

And so on to viscosity

[Verse 10]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 11]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 12]

Yeah

Uh

The applause of patience to the laws of nature

Override lies and the laws of nations

Pilgrims bear witness at the the stations

Some positions overcome traditions

Numbers govern our young religions

Debt levels makin' plumb decisions

Perpendicular to the undivision

That's bad curricular to uncondition

Any love less than unconditional is so under Christian

It's unrepentant

The physical part of my church

Amidst the invisible arts of my work

To make gold from garbage

Is not the alchemical part of this math

The truth be told, it's the pursuit of gold

That turns the gold of men into trash

The souls go and they turn and go into cash

[Verse 13]

And your reflection is your connection

To more collections or more directions

And paths

If your reflection's a mask

Then you're reflective of mass

To see yourself, just look at me

And split your reflection in half

[Verse 14]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign

[Verse 15]

You look just like I wanna be

Sacred geometry

In a line, in a line, in a line, in a line, in a line

Three angels in kind

On time, go straight

Don't sign

Don't sign, don't sign
