lyrics
Verse 1 (Ian Kelly)
2020 might be 2012
Cool, like the J in mouth like I’m double L
What the hell?
I know chicks with no friends/ Only fans payin well/
Figure out your Huslte n*gga never dwell/
America don’t like me/
I got my radio Raheem even if I do the right thing/
Hopefully Raheem my friends don’t come and strike me/
Who really got the juice especially if its Hyphy/
Married to the game and now I been neglecting wifey/
Back in the studio day and nightly, still writing/
With myself still fighting/ Bob and weave/
I know a chick she was bobbin as I pulled her weave/
Head so good I part her scalp like I part the sea/
Down in L.A. one time/
Waters complicated/
Look over left, oh wow I see seven seas/
Report card/
moments later now I’m seeing several B’s/
Back in Oakland, look around I see many G’s/
Alphabets are hard to understand so now im flippin P’s/
Government been clocking me or maybe it might be the weed/
Really its the foundation in things that n*ggas never see/
Diplomacy in disarray/
Sort of like church when Mr. Charles they were dissin Ray/
I broke Pops chain now im thinking im the missing link
Her story His story/ and there’s always History
Hook (Kevin Allen)
Eyes are the windows to the soul, I heard
Cant nobody do it on they own, I heard
Money on the phone like a loan, I heard
Get soul or get gone thats the word, I heard
Verse 2 (Kevin Allen)
You Letting other people’s feelings
convolute Your true intention
black magic
Superstition
Voodo I could use a chicken
Mama had to work
No Supervision
Had To Move and pivot
Lions, tigers, I bear it all in the booth
But don’t be too Pretentious
I Treat baby like a queen
Until she prove me different
May not love herself
I can’t be too ambitious
Got my own issues That I’m wrestling with
Off the rope leg extension
Nature boy figure four lock
Triangle choke submission
This is truly potent
When you smoke it
you gone know the difference
They just trying to ride wave
High tides, motion sickness
Turn a blind eye when it’s bogus
pay that no attention
That’s just how it be sometimes
All the years I slept one eye open
Ive been so sleep deprived
You Ever seen the Phoenix rise?
Out the ashes
I was stranded
Different planet, equinox
Radio Raheem in the pizza spot
Wit the speaker box, love below
Don’t know what to keep or not
The scars on my ugly but I love em though ...
Im trying to get these demons out
Change directions
first step is acceptance
Of the things you don’t control
So high im bleeding from the nose
I Think i dreamed it in a song ya hear?
Hook (Kevin Allen)
Eyes are the windows to the soul, I heard
Cant nobody do it on they own, I heard
Money on the phone like a loan, I heard
Get soul or get gone thats the word, I heard
