[Intro - Bane sample] You think darkness is your ally You merely adopted the dark I was born in it Molded by it I didn't see the light until I was already a man By then it was nothing to me but blinding! [Verse 1: Mickey Factz] As I toast the chardonnay I hear the ghost of Marvin Gaye So for the next six minutes All you're gonna hear is the spirit in my lyrics What's goin' on, unpaid cable Left my label, their unchanged angle Tried to outfox me, Bad Boy locks me But NYU law taught me about proxies Reborn Martin Luther I'm in a new position don't need Kama Sutra Stylings for my ex, ? her I stopped lookin' for her when I thought about my future Pa**ive, artist with a pa**ion Sculptor, when it come to clay I'm Ca**ius Vulture, when it's time to pray, I'm a mantis The culture, what it is today, outlandish Mr. Fantastic will think that the fashion's in Y-3 fabric Polo bedspread on a king sized mattress So every night, I can dream about pastures Love when I ran by your city Stand by Mickey if you can't find Diddy They say I'm lazy My catalog'll fill a terabyte like a vampire bit me Woah, woah, woah, hold it Icon poet and I barely even show it Langston Hughes made my views so I wrote it I do it for my mama but I don't think she know it Thick beard and I spit flare The achievement is comin' out this year Let the words penetrate through yah LoveAtFirstSound, let it serenade to yah [Hook: Tony Williams]x2 Smile the pain through You're cryin', ain't you? Time will make you Fine, thank you [Verse 2: Mickey Factz] Young man from the ghetto Wifey preggo, real life gecko She wanted a**urance, he wanna settle Makin' of his ? that ring black and yellow Decent little job, payin' all the bills Savin' for a house and prayin' for a mil Where the 401k at? Southside of Chicago, that's where he stays at Southside of Chicago, that's where they spray at He's tryna be out, cause he 'ont really play that Good man with a good plan Shook hands with the j**eler and he put grands Into the ring he bought to give to her This is the dream he thought for his future Imagine, family matters But nothing could compare for what's about to happen Wifey texts him, "head to the market Pick up an orange, ice cream, I'm starvin' Pack of chicken legs, plus a milk carton For the last time, please don't forget the margarine" He wrote back, "Baby don't worry" She replied, "Hurry, I wanna cook curry" He got her all the groceries and jumped in his Hummer But then, halfway home, he forgot the bu*ter Turned back around, bought that and donuts And just to surprise her, he even got roses Headed back home and he stopped at a light When shots started goin' through his car, ? Oh sh**, he died Notified his girlfriend, she cried Blood on the flowers that he got And now his one chance to be happy has been shot [Hook: Tony Williams]x2
