I turned the iron in the blood I spilled
Into ink for my golden quill, that’s alchemy
I showed a liar what I tried to build, coming for the kill
Now I think he has it out for me
I saw Orion on the wrong side of the sky, facing the lion
Now I wonder if the Mayans were frightened
By the same sight, like a sign of violence arriving
On horizons, looking like agony
I’m a magpie, ain’t I?
Swooping down just to ruin the vibe like the blue of the night
And my rabbi ain’t mine, only knew him
Through the grapevine, just a Jew in disguise
I’ve adapted to the high, happened when I tried
Laughing at my youth instead of trying to revise it
What my happiness implies now
Is acting on my passion been the bastion of my life
Acid over Christ
At least with a tab you know what you’ve imagined
Enough to examine the stuff in the light
And not cover up all of the fragments
Addicts of plight and the static ignite
When they’re ducking attachments
Commanded to rites by the cast of the Catholics
Breaking up the established
Banishment of self
Death to the ego collapses belief
In the patched-together felt
The fabric they’re weaving is weaker than Jeans
But it’s fashioned with all the bells and whistles
Made to trap you along with the town’s officials
In a cell ’til the jail caved in by missiles
Had you at the window like, “what’s that whistling?”
That’s where our definitions of a real n#gg# differ
Bearded dragon chest, off the liquor
Off the Richter, on the spectrum, be objective
Fear itself or cabal of lizards
Impartial to parceled zippers, in part ’cause
I’m part Marvelous Marv and Marvel Avenger
Pardon I beg that you harken to heartless adventures
Be patient there’s arcs that I hardly remember
A girl has no name, faceless too
Sparks for the Tinder, ooh
Dark Knight some Stark white mother-f#ck
An apartheid, don’t mind if I do
His Majesty’s baggage includes
Handfuls of gold plated wrappers
Confetti, not actually used
Utter disregard for future me or you
I retire the replicant
Descendants of Midas in spite of his likeness
The fire we represent, them Cali curses
Hit different, ignorant or indignant
Pound-foolish or penny-wise
These ley lines they go the distance
Screen-shottas get minimized
Decentralize, we co-existing
Pimpin’ since been pimpin’
My tongue over-shadows you, y’all n#gg#s been Pippen
The Attitude Era is back
Gratitude mantra collapse
Catch a high top fade in the metaverse
This is Headroom to the Max
Getting yo signal hijacked
The shock is the freedom, the static the trap
