Uh, peace when I'm rollin' around
Tried to keep me close, but look how
When I needed you the most you was out
The least I can do is account
Pizzeria dough, big amount
Fire in the hole, burnin' out his soul like they seen a ghost in the shell
Froze up, it's colder than hell
I cleaned up most of myself
I peeled off more dollar bills
For 'em when they peeled off on the bill
Started at the bottom of the hill
Actually, I started in the mid
Actually, I started in Illinois, Khoikhoi, and Tswana in the kid
Bloodstains on my fatherland
Bloodstains on my motherland
Tough clay, all of it's red
Stuck in the jeans and the fabric, and the twenty-three little strands
Freddie Hubbard sing through the ax
Chop another piece off the branch
Memories careen out the past
Halt me to a screech in they tracks
Had a couple things on my chest
That's where the demons would sit
I took a seat at the head
It's time to eat
I need to breach, heavy-set
Can you dig what I'm sayin'?
Notice that you easily led
So I take a seat at the head
It's time to eat
You remember I'm feelin' like Aubrey
There ain't bread, nigga, how it involve me?
I was there when them smiles were salt
Don't be actin' surprised when you call me
But imagine I gave you my all
All my flaws didn't rise from adultery
I got tired of stayin' to talk
Put you higher than you say that you are
How you lie to me? Breakin' my heart
How you ridin'? You ain't stay in the car
I get hired and pay for my art
So when I'm buyin', I'm breakin' the cart
Oh, as always break it apart
I don't lie if you playin' your part
On that isle in the flame in the dark
It be silence that make the remarks
Keep it solid, don't change when it start
It be probably you wings on the guard
For a slide be waitin' to start
For Pops, I'm takin' the charge
Ain't no option, we makin' it ours
I know Ma used to pray I ain't harden
Only son gettin' saved 'cause they smart
Then how did we come here?
And tell me, too, by what ill fortune did a prince
turn into the reclusive hermit you are now, here, on this desert isle?
Was it because you found the world distasteful
Or through the perfidy of some enemy?
Is our island a prison or a hermitage?
You've hinted at some mystery so many times and aroused my curiosity
And today you shall tell me it all
