KING KONCEPTS
Ever since I got that little once important slip of paper
In a leather case and it seems that I been racing
The clock, to finish everything before I embark on a journey
All I wanna do is go back to the park
The place in my mind where I can find
A form of peace amidst war like times
And I'm-
About to crack my bags ain't even packed
But it feels like I'm trapped in a destiny
That's ultimately wack
All I can do is enjoy the last thirty days
But its hard for me to feel the sun's rays
When I'm not even sure it'll be out tomorrow
And I gotta follow a road leading to sorrow
Cuz I can see the imminent destruction of my life
Ponderance lines the night
As I sit here and write
Something right and true, but if you only knew
A lot can happen between August and June
And boom, another friend is down
I paid dues for four years and now I ask myself how
Can I give up all I love forever?
Almost lost my girl last night, I know I gotta act betta
In stay high to avoid the lies
Cuz I don't even wanna die but-
CHORUS
I gotta stay alive
Cuz the only one I got in this world is my tribe
Will you take heed to what's said
Or march to the fire with the rest of the dead
One foot on the plane and I knew something was wrong
So I relied on the bomb to keep me calm
I had smoked a blunt facial before
So with my carry on's I went though the door
Found my seat and turned on my walkman and fell out
Woke up to the sound of a voice talking bout
"Buckle ya seat we're in a rough patch of air"
"we're all the way up here and its a long fall to down there"
No fear until the yellow mask appeared
Saying "breathe"
I can't leave this world
What about my girls, seeds to be planted
I don't want the reality of hitting the planet
Untimely man its not a fair trade
SO I pray to Allah for Tariq to be saved
Grab my neighbor's gla** of vodka
I don't want to be sober when I die
Out of the corner of my eye, a sankofa bird in the sky
\But it can't reach me until its too late
I see my fate why can't I think of an escape?
A new patch to create cuz I'm in a free fall
Gotta deal with reality's call
CHORUS
Seven feet from the ground its profound
The sankofa came around
And dragged me out of the mound
Of rubble like a bubble rose to the top
And then sipped but didn't drop
A shot of light went by I grabbed it
It was a thought-
Maybe it was a prayer that saved me from being vcaught
Maybe not but I was brought by the bird to the ocean
He let me go but somehow I stayed floating
With a blessing from God now its gonna be hard
To get back to shore but I got four
Incense sticks each possessing a different property
To help me maintain in New York properly
Talk to me "use them weisely" said the bird
"Avatars never die using the words of God"
Now I question will I learn my life's lesson
Or just burn like a session
CHORUS
