(Hook) There's a light in my vision where the cities always lie I tried to stay sober but the city got me high (1st Verse): It feels like I got a burnt fuse From always making herculean jerk moves In the end I'll say whatever to irk fools So pour vous the life and times of an earth dude Giving a blurred view, a million-yard stare A giving of raw wisdom I share for you all here Like Cousin It My subtle flips of mumble pitch is ugliness Son will squint at the sun with slits for eyes Wise he wants to blink As if the wants and gigs of modern pigs Is all but rigged They make a cloud of haunting riches Flowing from their fronts of business Lock down the system Fix a cost and keep it pimpin' When they get locked out Give 'em a key to sing in Until they get back on their feet And reap the teat of elite
The only difference is I don't see a difference It's all big stickers on Fidel and Hitler Both fall, we all get our last dinner (Hook) ... Cities always lie Tried to stay sober but the city got me high (Verse 2) Add it up like a summer, no excuse for sad sinners Springing out of the dark It was a hell of a winter Pasta shells for dinner With steak, eggs, and liquor Making sure they get all the senses Like a heavy listener Heavy hitter, Fred McGriff about to wreck the Richter Steady hymns, vetting whims Getting intellectually richer This is just me, no up front fee It's done free I want these to not only freeze in time But accompany Me to the afterlife or whatever comes for me Suddenly a wandering fleet Of drumming beats come in the scene (Hook)
