[Verse 1]
As I sit back staring at the ceiling
Exploring God's mind tryna achieve the feeling
Holograms of life surpa** dreaming
Escape is trife in a life of high scheming
Most n***as see robbing and stealing
A nice shortcut to living amongst demons
And when the red and blue lights start beaming
Your heart starts beating, your freedom is leaking
Stress levels peaking, my drug use is frequent
Dip in black sizzurp never bother to freak them
Candy in the cup cause a n***a tryna slow down
Used to smoke trees graduated to that blow now
You n***as gookin if you think I'm gonna hold down
You fertilise hatred your a** get mowed down
Y'all n***as gay like the boyband O-Town
I'm so low cold with the flow so profound
[Hook x2]
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind mind
I live my life unrestricted by time
In the world that's infected by crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs
[Verse 2]
Astro the magnificent
Is so proficient with breaking down barriers
Buddha and bad b**hes
This gift was bestowed upon me in the womb
As an infant I lay in my crib singing tunes
Said my first word, "Light" at the age of one
A precursor to the shine of which was to come
The Gift of Gab seems to be dripping from my tongue
The way I captivate the minds of the old and young
A n***a fresh, a n***a fly, a n***a real
Cold as steel and I never cry
I sense p**y in your heart then I sever ties
We intercede with the greed that consume our lives
No wives, just b**hes in this nightlife
Squeezing coke sacks searching for the right white
They say life's what you make it in hindsight
When it's the other way around, you know you're blind right?
[Hook x2]
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind
I live my life unrestricted by time
In the world that's infected by crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs
