[00:02.01][Intro: Busdriver] [00:06.78]I just really wanted to be included in the conversation [00:13.23]My *****, let me give you my thoughts on the matter [00:18.29] [00:19.24][Verse 1] [00:32.26]My introduction to the party was "Who be that?" [00:34.57]With small talk littering conversation with booby traps [00:37.06]Chewing fat with political theorists busy reviewing stats [00:39.83]They're going home to *****s committing unruly acts [00:42.24]But not getting fitted for no Uzi straps [00:45.09]Just keeping the hoodie mac and the doobie wrapped [00:47.13]And never reflecting how we truly act [00:49.38]They're screaming out that **** until the mother****ing tubing cracks [00:52.70]Cause it feels like a lacking military coup in fact [00:54.65]But had to bring Paul Mooney back to give y'all the point of view [00:57.39]Of a threatening black man, cause these legislators get paid for the [01:01.15]Booty claps so we had to bring the coofie back [01:03.31]So take a breath, take a step, take a leap [01:05.35]I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats [01:07.72]Yeah [01:08.37]Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun [01:13.64]So take a breath, take a step, take a leap [01:15.95]I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats [01:18.51]Yeah [01:19.41]Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun [01:23.46][Post-Hook] [01:24.41]Remember when we were radicals out there fanning them flames [01:26.77]Rooting out injustices in our family names [01:29.28]Cops measuring our grave plots in candy canes [01:31.38][Verse 2: Hemlock Ernst] [01:33.13]I motion to leave the party early [01:34.62]But held down by my sleeves, it's like a mild birthing [01:36.94]Pushing past the ledge to know I'm not free [01:38.60]Wonder if they'll remember me? [01:39.66]As something more than a centerpiece [01:41.05]Or a choir boy for the simile [01:42.31]For the four-fours, for the entropy [01:43.60]Like the chorus was always a friend to me [01:45.12]In migrant visions though -- my mind was a cash box [01:46.38]Followed behind grandpa in black socks, wild at heart [01:49.69]He smoking KOOLS, 'til the day of the locust -- moved [01:51.94]Him barely unfocused -- blue, but when I concentrate I'm scary with truths [01:54.76]Half-remembered from my ones and twos and force of my past lives [01:57.75]A pastor in knife fights, a bastard, a light brite [02:00.39]I'm just babbling but what I found is our self-worth has been rooked [02:02.87]The truth we pull from our subconscious? [02:04.56]Just won't read it in books [02:05.52]So take a breath, take a step, take a leap [02:08.15]I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats [02:10.36]Yeah [02:11.67]Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun [02:16.28]So take a breath, take a step, take a leap [02:18.38]I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats [02:20.83]Yeah [02:22.14]Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun [02:25.64][Interlude: Busdriver] [02:28.76]Don't you remember?
