Lyrics
Ohmni
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.
People be sleeping on me so much I feel like a mattress
They be giving too much credit to these girls that be actress
My avatar floating like a shooting star
Caught on a dash cam of a cop car
Be careful of the games
That'll take you too far
What you manifest
You should keep it on a parr
Equal to the people shining like rah
I bring it every time keep it 100 like brrra
Saved up loaded pure powa
Fire earth aqua air bend-a
You on a mountain, and this is the lightning
Direct that energy, don't be trollin'
When I hit my stride I'm gonna go in
Yeah I got the hammer Thor and Odin
Loki tryin' to get the mode I'm in
I'm a crouching tiger
And the dragons hidin'
It's a full Moon and the wolves are howlin'
I'll never be a quitter yeah
Throw my towel in
The greatest glory is not never fallin'
It's how we get back up and keep it moving
Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what the time gon bring
Life changing, it's a strange thing
Are you ready for what the time gon' bring
Back home back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home back home (yeah we got the sauce)
Back on track (I'm on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)
Back home back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home back home (yeah we got the sauce)
Back on track (I'm on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)
Queens and kings, the brown girl sings
Boys in the back by the tarpaulin
Who's hirin'? What they firing?
The city's full a sharks
Swimming with the dolphin
It's time for the magic like I'm Merlin
I've been choppin it and kicking it
Like a shaolin
Darlin' the fun is always callin'
And my callin' is
Always to stop you fallin'
If you do pick you up, keep it moving
It's only glass on the ceiling
It's not cement don't get stuck in feelings
The greatest glory's not-never fallin
It's how we get back up and keep on moving
Back home back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home back home (yeah we got the sauce)
Back on track (I'm on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)
Back home back home (force to be reckoned with)
Back home back home (yeah we got the sauce)
Back on track (I'm on a new level)
You better go check (I still be that rebel)
