(Continued from the song "Aloha")
(Dr. Cornel West on "Beethoven")
That can even begin to be fully truthful to the experiences that we have in the short time we're here in time and space
So therefore, you need some…sounds..even some noise, organized noise
We need silence, between the notes and the sounds that get at the deeper truths of who we are
And that's not a statement against linguistic eloquence, but it's one that recognizes varieties of eloquence
And therefore it requires a deep courage
(Verse 1: Vero)
I haven't left the booth in a motherf**in' year
Knocks on the door who is here?
Time could erase rhymes like a bad sketch
What's next? I'm
Doodling
You dudes have been hooping
In the wrong sneakers
Making beats
With the wrong speakers
Not having habits is a bad habit
Spitting magic, pull a rabbit out a fitted cap
I'm an ace like I served and you didn't hit it back
If a beat gets played you best believe I'm ripping that
It's like medicine, Edison couldn't light the stage like I do
With haikus
I make you feel like God's right beside you
1994 till infinity
You kidding me?
I'm f**ing lifted
Put the tree up on the scale I'm smoking something different
May the real always prevail
I've got an itch to make the hits it's in my blood
Like mosquitoes
You motherf**ing crave that
Ever since way back
I'm the man to watch
Needle in a haystack
Reach your hand or not
The flow silly
I'm so illy
You couldn't get this high with four philly's
I'm not kidding
As long as I'm in the game you are not winning
The devil would be an angel if he stopped sinning
But still the world turns
Like Pippen on his pivot
A lot of people dream but never lived it
I drop a song and it gets bumped in every f**ing Civic
In the city who's with me?
I'm 'bout to blow up
Leave local MC's like them car doors that go up
Look who showed up
Oh so what?
I'm that dude right now
A future millionaire is in the f**ing booth right now
My sh**'s all over the net who wanna hoop right now?
I swear to God I could dunk on the moon
Like the month before June I'm hot
I'm sorry we never told you but dude you're not
I got
20 million in a safe somewhere in a place
That I haven't found yet but I'm getting much closer
(Hook)
Throw me
I soar
One day
I'm sure
We will
Be born
1-9-9-4
Throw me
I soar
One day
I'm sure
We will
Be born
1-9-9-4
(Verse 2)
Is it
Is it wrong for me to think that I could make a song to make you mine forever ?
I'll settle for a coffee the end of the week is better
For me, look in my eyes you'll see
I got dreams that heat seek like jet missiles
These other MC's sound like they got pen issues
Hit me up if you got questions
I made a mixtape to fix fate
You doubted that's a mistake
I'm 'bout it get this sh** straight
For once, I don't dance with the devil
I just shine his shoes but if he moves I got nothing to lose
And oh no no no no no no
I've been here too long I must go
So when you hear my songs you must know
I think I get it now
I think I get it now, I think I..
May the holy one come down and roll me one
Little kid with big dreams you know what's up
Anybody'll tell you I keep it Goodfella
Like Scorsese behind the camera
You know this gon' be a monster, don't reveal nothing
Kevin Costner has an Oscar but Leo doesn't?
What the f** is going on?
Correct me if I'm wrong but this sh** ain't right
I've been thinking I could keep the sky lit at night
I've been thinking that this whole life's a midnight fight
Midnight run, we all just want some midnight fun
I'm in this more for a couple views on YouTube
I'm in this more for a couple views on YouTube dog
My sound got the whole town nervous
How could one kid give a whole town purpose ?
But it seems I re-seemed my dreams into one of the most pristine paintings ever seen
I'll hang it on the wall by the phone that never rang with your hesitated call in the hallway
God how I love the rain drops above
The pain stops from love if you let it
If you let it
If you let it
(Hook)
Throw me
I soar
One day
I'm sure
We will
Be born
1-9-9-4
Throw me
I soar
One day
I'm sure
We will
Be born
1-9-9-4

Jimmy: "...you learned the two greatest things in life."
Henry: "what?"
Jimmy: "Look at me....Never rat on your friends...and always keep your mouth shut."
