[00:05.84] My niggas be smoking on something loud, head to the clouds

[00:10.63] I ain't been steppin' out, tired of sticking out in the crowd

[00:14.87] This world is changing right in front of me

[00:19.14] Gray hairs, I'm aging quicker than I thought I'd be

[00:25.23] straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[00:29.21] (Straight up) straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[00:33.21] (Straight up) straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[00:37.46] (Straight up) straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[00:40.11] Please believe these flows teach egos to freeze and then recede, I'm C4

[00:44.36] Beneath your Jeep, the second you turn that keyhole

[00:46.48] Then heat blows your weak flows right out the water

[00:48.60] The father, boy, I work smarter and harder

[00:50.75] My style got a restraining order, don't bother

[00:52.87] I charter unseen territories in order to push it farther than you niggas had ever thought of

[00:56.85] I caught a lotta murder charges, turned artists to martyrs, when I rock, thot turns to goddess

[01:00.04] Fiends turn to kings, dreams turn to things tangible

[01:04.28] My hands are full with grands I pulled

[01:05.60] From stanzas, no, I can't go slow

[01:07.21] I'm Sandra Bull, either proceed with speed or don't breathe

[01:09.87] There's no creed or color that won't heed

[01:12.26] To the warning, the planet'll shake when I'm performing

[01:13.85] Tectonic plates from a place where Tecs on their waist

[01:15.97] So stay safe, or get left with chest on your face

[01:18.09] As death waits for your last of breath

[01:19.70] I'ma pass the test, yes, I'm a master chef

[01:21.55] Want a taste, then pay for it

[01:22.87] They claim they're real, but they're seldom straightforward

[01:24.99] The pain I feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame

[01:27.92] I spit fire at the devil while the angels sang

[01:30.04] The flow changed, but Jermaine's the same, I'm Plain Jane

[01:32.43] Not a chain on my neck, but shine like baguettes

[01:34.31] A shame, not a flex, to rhyme like the rest

[01:36.43] My mind's quite depressed if I don't write these

[01:38.55] I'm Spike Lee of the audio, back in my barrio

[01:40.94] Parties got shot up, so I built up all my cardio

[01:42.80] Dodge shells, collect coins like I'm Mario

[01:44.92] But this is not a gaming experience, I'm serious, nigga

[01:48.65] straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[01:52.63] (Straight up) straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[01:56.87] (Straight up) straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up

[02:00.87] (Straight up) straight up, straight up

[02:02.99] (Yeah)

[02:03.78] My niggas be smoking on something loud, head to the clouds

[02:06.16] I ain't been steppin' out, tired of sticking out in the crowd

[02:12.02] This world is changing right in front of me

[02:15.99] Gray hairs, I'm aging quicker than I thought I'd be

[02:20.26] I'm that bass in your trunk, the bullet that missed Trump

[02:22.11] The gun that jammed 'cause it seemed God had other plans

[02:24.24] The Son of Man extending his hand to Son of Sam

[02:26.36] In forgiveness, for all of the homicides we witnessed

[02:28.48] The overdramatized, the traumatized with sickness

[02:30.87] Thrown in the pan and caramelized for richness

[02:32.99] And served on a plate with sirloin steak

[02:34.60] To billionaires who don't care the world's gon' break

[02:36.72] Long as they make money off it, pain brings profit

[02:39.11] One man gains it soon as the next man lost it

[02:40.97] There's a bridge you can walk to hear God talk

[02:43.09] But there are real slim odds a rich man crosses

[02:45.48] 'Cause greed is a poisonous seed, indeed

[02:47.36] As it spreads like weeds through the mind's apple trees

[02:49.48] I proceed with caution, and I'm not flossing

[02:51.60] Unlike some, I'm not defined by my fortune

[02:53.73] I'm defined by rhymes, though I'm in my prime

[02:55.85] There was times that I was down 'cause I'd thought I'd lost it

[02:57.70] But no, low and behold, as my poetry grows

[02:59.82] I give all glory to God as the story unfolds

[03:02.75] And the gray hairs that grow on my head will show

[03:04.34] Ain't no time limit to get it, you ain't never too old

[03:06.21] So keep hold of your dreams, no matter how it seems

[03:08.06] If you don't water your lawn, well, then it won't stay green

[03:10.19] I seen babies turn fiends, addicted to the screen

[03:12.04] Their dad shares cashiers replaced by machines

[03:14.43] Don't buy, subscribe so you can just stream

[03:16.55] Your content like rent, you won't own a thing

[03:18.70] Before long, all the songs the whole world sings'll

[03:20.82] Be generated by latest of AI regimes

[03:22.95] As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream

[03:25.07] From the wayside, "Ay, whatever happened to human beings?"

[03:29.58] Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight

[03:33.31] Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight

[03:37.28] Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight

[03:41.53] Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight

[03:43.38] My niggas be smoking on something loud
