This lyric sheet isn't paired with a song yet, so lines are shown but won't sync or seek.

[00:05.38] (Hahahaha)

[00:06.97] My niggas be smokin' on something loud, head to the clouds

[00:11.74] I ain't been steppin' out, tired of stickin' out in the crowd

[00:15.45] This world is changin' right in front of me

[00:20.24] Gray hairs, I'm agin' quicker than I thought I'd be

[00:25.00] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up)

[00:29.52] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up) (I'm high, so I'm feelin' like that)

[00:33.50] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up) (uh)

[00:37.48] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up) (yeah)

[00:40.14] Uh, please, believe these flows teach egos

[00:42.53] To freeze and then recede, I'm C4

[00:44.66] Beneath your Jeep, the second you turn that keyhole

[00:46.78] Then heat blows your weak flows right out the water

[00:48.90] The father, boy, I work smarter and harder

[00:50.76] My style got a restrainin' order, don't bother

[00:52.93] I charter unseen territories in order

[00:55.05] To push it farther than you niggas had ever thought of

[00:57.44] I caught a lotta murder charges, turned artists to martyrs

[00:59.81] When I rock, thot turns to goddess

[01:01.41] Fiends turn to kings, dreams turn to things tangible

[01:04.08] My hands are full with grands I pulled from stanzas

[01:06.47] No, I can't go slow, I'm Sandra Bull'

[01:08.07] Either proceed with speed or don't breathe

[01:09.92] There's no creed or color that won't heed to the warnin'

[01:12.31] The planet'll shake when I'm performin'

[01:14.17] Tectonic plates from a place where TECs on they waist

[01:16.30] So stay safe or get left with chest on your face

[01:18.16] As death waits for your last of breath

[01:20.02] I'ma pass the test, yes, I'm a master chef

[01:22.14] Want a taste? Then pay for it

[01:23.47] They claim they're real, but they're seldom straightforward

[01:25.33] The pain I feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame

[01:28.25] I spit fire at the Devil while the angels sing

[01:30.38] The flow changed, but Jermaine's the same, I'm plain-Jane

[01:32.77] Not a chain on my neck, but shine like baguettes

[01:34.63] A shame, not a flex to rhyme like the rest

[01:36.75] My mind's quite depressed if I don't write these

[01:38.88] I'm Spike Lee of the audio, back in my barrio

[01:41.27] Parties got shot up, so I built up on my cardio

[01:43.13] Dodge shells, collect coins like I'm Mario

[01:45.25] But this is not a gamin' experience, I'm serious, nigga

[01:48.71] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up)

[01:52.70] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up) (I'm high, so I'm feelin' like that)

[01:57.21] Straight up (straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up) (uh)

[02:01.45] Straight up (straight up, straight up) (yeah)

[02:03.05] My niggas be smokin' on something loud, head to the clouds

[02:08.11] I ain't been steppin' out, tired of stickin' out in the crowd

[02:12.09] This world is changin' right in front of me

[02:16.61] Gray hairs, I'm agin' quicker than I thought I'd be

[02:20.59] I'm that bass in your trunk, the bullet that missed Trump

[02:22.72] The gun that jammed 'cause it seemed God had other plans

[02:24.58] The Son of Man extendin' His hand to Son of Sam

[02:26.72] In forgiveness for all of the homicides we witnessed

[02:28.84] The overdramatized, the traumatized with sickness

[02:30.97] Thrown in the pan and caramelized for richness

[02:33.09] And served on a plate with sirloin steak

[02:34.95] To billionaires who don't care the world's gon' break

[02:37.08] Long as they make money off it, pain brings profit

[02:39.20] One man gains it soon as the next man lost it

[02:41.33] There's a bridge you can walk to hear God talk

[02:43.19] But there are real slim odds a rich man crosses

[02:45.33] 'Cause greed is a poisonous seed, indeed

[02:47.45] As it spreads like weeds through the mind's apple trees

[02:49.84] I proceed with caution and I'm not flossin'

[02:51.71] Unlike some, I'm not defined by my fortune

[02:53.83] I'm defined by rhymes, though I'm in my prime

[02:55.95] There was times that I was down 'cause I'd thought I'd lost it

[02:58.09] But no, lo and behold, as my poetry grows

[02:59.96] I give all glory to God as the story unfolds

[03:02.08] And the gray hairs that grow on my head will show

[03:04.22] Ain't no time limit to get it, you ain't never too old

[03:06.34] So keep hold of your dream, no matter how it seems

[03:08.20] If you don't water your lawn, well, then it won't stay green

[03:10.35] I seen babies turn fiends, addicted to the screen

[03:12.47] That dad shares, cashiers replaced by machines

[03:14.60] Don't buy, subscribe so you can just stream

[03:16.72] Your content like rent, you won't own a thing

[03:18.58] Before long, all the songs the whole world sings

[03:20.70] Will be generated by latest of AI regimes

[03:23.10] As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream

[03:24.95] From the wayside: Ayy, whatever happened to human beings?

[03:30.30] Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[03:33.48] Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up (I'm high, so I'm feelin' like that)

[03:37.48] Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up (uh)

[03:41.47] Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up (yeah)

[03:44.14] My niggas be smokin' on something loud
