Lyrics
Marvin Gaye did a album called Here, My Dear, it was just right Made the album so the royalties could be alimony for his ex-wife This is alimony for the fans (Gangster) Always give a f**k about whoever put you where you are, that's (Gangster) Buck this, why you smoking on a little west coast? (East) Don't spill, you do say all on your retros (Side) Every strap got me feeling like I'm wearing wet clothes Gun like a d**k sucker in a hearing aid, it's giving deaf blows (Grah-rah-rah-rah) Keep a piece but I meditate just to keep the peace in a better state (Say what?) I don't need the beef if it's featherweight These frequencies help me elevate (For what?) To a different plane like a aboriginal, adolescent on a walkabout Ghosts from the past all around, Benz pull up to a haunted house A lot of funerals in my family this year, this is my therapy, n***a Music always help paring me, n***a Apparently, it took care of me, n***a Haters coming at me terribly, I'ma get you, Indian Cherokee Get socked out for the heresy, I'ma rock him like I'm Eric B., n***a Maybe we should just walk away (Like f**k sliding) Both of us live another day (Like f**k dying) All my phones smoking gurkhas (Yeah) Running plays like a wide out My backyard is my hideout Sometimes I just need to vibe out Ayo, Silk, what's happening with you? What's the word? (What's up, Crook?) Me and Joell about to run a powerplay I need you to f**k with us, man (I got you) My n***a, yo, hit that brother slide on the three way We can't do this sh*t without him Flood waters keep rising Thou shall must have beef with Poseidon Lies live while our loved ones are dyin' Tears got my real eyes realizing Paradise ain't what it used to be, no Talk about it, I don't usually Fooling myself expecting sh*t could change They still shackling us with shoddy chain (Question!) Who made this prison so luxurious? For us, for us Heaven on earth is not so dangerous For us, for us Man, it's so heavy out here right now I feel like the air got more weight than it's ever had Y'all don't feel that? Yo, good looking Sly, word Ice melting in my drink as I sit and think like it's still happening Kaepernick took a knee, then Derek Chauvin did as a reaction Time heals all wounds, huh? Why the f**k I feel like I'm still scattered? Anxiety, PTSD, and depression forming these pill habits Zombies using phone screens as a smoke screen to they real life Subconsciously in compet**ion with your last post but they hit like Ironically a heart pops up but it's no love that come with that Twerk video, run it back, share a death post then double tap On a life quote, f**k is that? COVID-19 got us under mask, give me six feet, why you coughing? Six feet, we lower coffins, another lost one so often We becoming numb, no more one-on-ones, we just run our guns That conundrum that got me wondering If the love is done and just eight left I take breathe, yeah, the deacon, meditate with a clean mind Try to levitate and not decline I elevate with each rhyme and demonstrate I'm in the prime of my life And what I write, it's cold as ice Ain't gotta freeze time, I'm nice Feel like the younger me, gene strong, good dungarees Team gone, it's just sun and me Yeah, me and son, like one of these Vacays that I breathe on Smilin', wildin', just tryna stay above water, on these islands But... (How come) Flood waters keep rising (Hmmm, seems like) Thou shall must have beef with Poseidon (How come) Lies live while our loved ones are dyin' (These times) Tears got my real eyes realizing (Ohhh) Paradise ain't what it used to be, no Talk about it, I don't usually (Fooling myself) Fooling myself expecting sh*t could change (Ohhhh) They still shackling us with shoddy chain (Question!) Who made this prison so luxurious? (So luxurious) For us (For us), for us (Now heaven) Heaven on earth is not so dangerous (So dangerous) For us (For us), for us
