New Orleans

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Perfectly fine, that's fine!

Said nigga brother, nigga brother, what you living for?

Is you gon' finish what you started? What you quitting for?

They told me God gave me a mission

But I'm missing the supplies to complete it

I ain't the one you should read in, I'm used to being defeated

So nigga, brother who you standing with?

I'm independent 'cause these parties never planned for this

Brother nigga with a brain, unintentionally swerving in every lane

The feeling's never the same, you chase what you couldn't gain

I'm so accustomed to flames, I couldn't tell you what's fire

Situation is dire, hear them calls from the choir

The disposition acquired from my position on Earth

It's telling me "Decapitate everything for what it's worth!"

When I die, these words gon' need separate caskets and a hearse

I don't rhyme, I freeze time and let these hands just do the work

I'm in tandem with my curse, going manic since my birth

See the canvas as a planet I'm commanding with my nerves, ah

Tell 'em boys, don't run from us

I been down too long, cousin

I been down too long, brother

Tell the world, I ain't scared of nothing

Tell the world, I ain't scared of jumping

Tell my boy I want a crib in London

Tell the world to stop tripping

I'll build a different house with some different functions

Tell 'em boys, don't run from us

I been down too long, cousin

I been down too long, brother

Tell the world, I ain't scared of nothing

Tell the world, I ain't scared of jumping

Tell my boy, I want a crib in London

Tell the world to stop tripping

I'll build a different house with some different functions

Try to treat man like baby

Feel the teeth sink in like rabies

Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah ah

Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah ah

Boy, you know you don't look fly

Them gold chains turn your neck green, bye

Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah ah

Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah ah

Nothin' different now (woo!) all around now (woo!)

Who you keep around now? That's a big reflection

Don't like how they talkin' to me, why they walkin' to me?

Wear your shit upon your sleeve, stop projectin' on me

Sense is your surround sound, what's your take on me?

Kill the ego now, what that make of me?

Angle widescreen, couple sips of Tanqueray

I'ma throw a couple punches, I'ma do it anyway

Chin up little son, I slide in like the macarena

Lose time, pen it, style spiced on, jalapeño

Supersonic, move through tunnel, two-wheel cycle, slightly

Silence crowd better than 9 millimeter with extended suppressor

Bustin' out the function, highly comfortable

Got this Martine on my body, man, my sweat lethal

Sweet kisses like the candy out the carnival

I'ma call my own shots, hit the audible

Impending death is the only sign of life

I'm throwing Hail Marys till I die

Throw it up, all I have is peace of mind, throwin' up

Have my wings clipped, I don't need them shits

Learn to fly again

Fast track to last place, I swear

I've never been up top but I'm up here somewhere

Out here, nobody can tell me shit

Shit, never mind what I did back then

You should take a look at yourself instead

Maybe you can find yourself, love yourself

Here's to health and here's to wealth, all together now

Tell 'em boys, don't run from us

I been down too long, cousin

I been down too long, brother

Tell the world, I ain't scared of nothing

Tell the world, I ain't scared of jumping

Tell my boy, I want a crib in London

Tell the world to stop tripping, I'll

Build a different house with some different functions

Tell 'em boys, don't run from us

I been down too long, cousin

I been down too long, brother

Tell the world, I ain't scared of nothing

Tell the world, I ain't scared of jumping

Tell my boy, I want a crib in London

Tell the world to stop tripping, I'll

Build a different house with some different functions

Hoo! Voodoo Man

Momma took me to the church and I sang a hymn

Co-colonized Chris-ti-an

Now I'm losing my reli-gi-on

God damn, so narcissistic this millennium

Fuck you and the bubble that you livin' in

I don't go to church, but I'm so spiritual

Pulled my life out of dirt, that's a miracle

If Jesus was a pop star, would he break the bank?

All these diamonds in my face, I'm shining like the day

I'm living in my prime, man, what can I say?

If the service is an hour, I'm an hour late
