can't freestyle, but I style free
Let me get real for a second
Seem like this world do not
It don't want you to breathe
Working and watering bad seeds
I'm climbing trees but still at the roots
I don't see no leaves down here
I'm stuck in the weeds down here
To light my way out of the sticks
Auntie said go get the switch, oh no
I must be acting up again
Everything stacking up again
Run to the neighbors outside the
house where it's all pretend
For beating the worst out of me
Parachute to the drop zone,
but I cut my shoot too early
Mano y mano gulag, caught the bullet first,
Not too far from reality though,
All actuality, prone to division,
So many collisions and bad decisions,
politicians part the red sea
Now we all duck in these waves,
they won't have lifeboats for ya
Whether black, white, or you
they say it's never too late
That's the noise I don't wanna hear
cause I wanna see it today
Long lives and tired legs from years
and years of just waiting
Bigger picture baby coming to focus and
I'm gon' keep counting the days
Frame it, hang it up for my grandkids
and tell them we all made a way
Wild times we livin', yeah
Wild times we livin', yeah
