[Alan Watts]
There is nobody impartial who can decide between all the religions
because, more or less, everybody has been in one way or another influenced by one of them.
So - if the Church says the Bible is true - it finally comes down to you: are you going to believe the Church? Or aren't you?
...
That may be your opinion and you are at liberty to hold it. I don't agree with you.
[Irie Givens, Verse 1]
I'm the dot in the dao, talk to me now
You're so used to talking me down, talking my style
Here's my thoughts in denial: split your dreams in half
Talk about foul... I was thinkin' bout all the things we had in common -
Like I'm on top, you Top Ramen
You string theory strung leery all across the amygdala
Make a decision to Muhammad 'fore I come finish ya
My black hand side'll take your Yang and your Yin from ya
Fuck an enema, enemies up from Nineveh
Could separate your head from your leg, nxgga, at minimum.
It's fuck me? I give a fuck unless you finna come
But I'ma whip it out and wet it up before you get a pump
Where I'm from, get a gun mean you getting jumped
Throw them hands, let me see 'em
You gettin' Punk'd like I'm all in Avril Lavinge's DMs
Carpe-fuckin'-Diem 'bout you 'never liked my girlfriend' in your captions
Bust a fire ass nut then I Ashton
[Hook]
I know, I know
I'm so hostile
I blow my 'dro so obnoxious
I don't ride slow
My flow nitro
This a Midnight Run, I'm UNCONSCIOUS
[Irie Givens, Verse 2]
Man, I wish you nxggas had daddies so I ain't had to go son you on the mic
All fucking night for your claps and your likes
And I wish the white kids had bigger problems to come relate to me
Then feeling like a nxgga 'cause, "Bro, it's wage slavery:
Nxgga."
Don't rap to me like I'm the racist
If you're gonna b.tch, make a switch with the poor and the rich
Whatever get more clicks, 'cause let's face it:
Joyner said the same shit and ain't nobody say shit
But I'm a rapper, I'm not 'sposed to be right!
Said I don't got to be the way, I'm just supposed to be light
I spark the brain that change the world and shit
Only go as deep as the surface is 'fore I fuck around and trigger up some nervousness
SKRT, skeeting and swerving shit -
The Soul Plane got some turbulence 'cause the flyest rappers fly you into furnaces!
I'm Abed-Negro and my fuckin' purpose is
To stand you fucking stans out of Salem 'fore you go burn a b.tch.
[Hook]
I know, I know
I'm so hostile
I blow my 'dro so obnoxious
I don't ride slow
My flow nitro
This a Midnight Run, I'm UNCONSCIOUS
[Alan Watts]
(laughs)
Now... you've become very aware of this...
If you ever do momentarily slip into some sort of a mystical experience
You become aware of... of this tremendous gamesmanship going on
And you see it as continuous with all sorts of cosmic games that are going on
Of creatures eating other creatures up. And... uh...
[Irie Givens]
I don't shed my skin just to bleed, so
I don't let the wind tremble me, no!
I don't shed my skin just to bleed, so
I'm gon' get my win.
[Hook]
I know, I know
I'm so hostile
I blow my 'dro so obnoxious
I don't ride slow
My flow nitro
This a Midnight Run, I'm UNCONSCIOUS
[Alan Watts]
...you'll realize very clearly that the state of development that you are in now
Is no better or no worse than anybody else's state!

[Verse]
I'm late but I'm here, case you been waitin'
And I don't have no great presentation, I was just flakin'
From the "When you finna drop your mixtape"'s and fakin' my statements
After I drop this college, I'm late to my registration
But every cypher, been the best man-in since Peyton
You fuck around and fumble or mumble and watch me take it
And I don't have to wet it, my handles could break the paint in
Hell yeah I switched the game up like I'm Mike Jordan, but I take the bases
And yeah I got a mic on me, but it changes places
With a light bag and a range of phases inside my basement
What I keep inside, the content gon' remain nameless
That's how I'm killing shit that I waived from my interfaces
You nxggas copped a stand and hopped all the way off to races
None of your legs could brace it
I'ma make you hoes and hoteps embrace it
You SoundCloud rappers is so amazing
Being so lame when I lapped you that I ain't notice you clout chasing
If you get played in my presence, ain't 'cause you buy it
It's 'cause I'm pulling your card for you, you wanna try it
Nobody in these bars adore you, you fucking light it
If the body in your bars ain't on you, you fucking lyin'
But hip-hop ain't dead, it's a book of life with writing
And what's Heaven if we don't let some of the light in
So come, sing your Hosannas then make way for the starkest Titan
Like I'm heavy with the bars and got Cyborg looking light skinned
I've come to take my lyricism to its rightful
Literary heights amongst the men and them fucking mice books.
And maybe I can't sell a million copies
But a million couldn't copy the punches left when I write hooks.
At the end of every testament the people fear doom
And God clear the room
And promise them real soon that they're all gonna make it
Then they come down on they shrooms
But Irie Givens trippin' through religion starting June:

[TD Jakes]
I don't know, but I got a feeling somethings gon' happen in this place this morning.
I say I got a feeling somethings gonna happen this morning,
I got a feeling somethings gonna happen in here this morning.
They asked me at the pastor's meeting, they say
"What in the world did you do to have so many men in your Church?
Your Church is 50% men: that's unheard of!"
And I tell them that's not what I did, it's what life did.
Because life will make you get up out of the bed on Sunday morning
And pull your britches on
And say "No, you ain't going without me. I'm going to the house of the Lord!"
Life will bring you from North Dallas to South Dallas to get a word from the Lord-
Life will make white folks worship with black folks and brown folks and red folks - whatever!
Life will make the judge sit down beside the criminal and say
JUST IN I AM!

This the renaissance of Ahmadinejad
Ah Shalom Alaikum, Alaikum Shalom
Like I’m the fuckin' bomb
"Oh, you fuckin' wrong!"
Don’t be fuckin' square;
I’m just fuckin' round.
Ain’t no fuckin' man down
Stand down
With ya nananana now,
I ain’t lovin’ it
Back to the sad clown
Get to stuffin' it
Have a coke and a smile
'Fore you suck a dick
I don’t fuck with your legion
I don't touch the pigs cause they teeming
And jumping off the cliff for no reason
They showing off the ribs with no season.
Said I don’t fuck with your legion
I don't touch the pig cause they teeming
They jumping off the cliff for no reason
Saying y’all the shit but don’t mean it:
Jesus!
[Hook]
How you livin'? How you dealin'? If you illin', bring the noise:
Irie Givens, I be chillin', highly livin' with them boys.
Fuck yo feelings bout my rhythms: I got lyrics, I got poise
I get ignant when I’m pissed and bust like Griffin's in Detroit
Get yo Lipton, when I’m spittin', I be rippin', you be spilling
Holy shittin' like some chitterlings with them Grits from mama kitchen
Get yo glimpses and yo kisses 'fore I finish
All my sweet swine swindling God done witnessed, next I’m jumping off a cliff and-
[Irie Givens, Verse 2]
I been a good lil' boy this year,
In the hood, even played with the boys who squeal
'Cause if I should be afraid of them boys on wheels
Then how I could be a man, not a boy for real?
See I could fuck with blue blood, it’s love until
The gov. concealed the Crip who killed Phil Castille
Fuck Leviticus? they fucked themselves
Leviticus 11 told me not to fuck with 12 -
I could still feel the steel and hear the shells
So -
I don’t fuck with your legion
I don't touch the pigs cause they teeming
And jumping off the cliff for no reason
They showing off the ribs with no season.
Said I don’t fuck with your legion
I don't touch the pig cause they teeming
They jumping off the cliff for no reason

[Verse1-吃魚]
Survive in danger 物競天擇
萬獸搶奪一個王位 是誰訂的規則
人身在叢~林 豈有別條路可以選擇
Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to THE REAL WORLD
適者生存 不 適 者 淘 汰 藏不住 那些冒牌
我試著生存 把 自 尊 拋 開 搭建我的砲台
Haters虎視眈眈 他們眼紅妒忌
Haters隨時犯案 當你一不注意
所以 小心腳步 以防行蹤暴露
他們隨時報復 危機到處
小老鼠趕快跑路 你的生命正在倒數
當我獅子大開口 你的未來 是死亡
我稱霸森林登上王位 成為 獅子王
[Hook]
Came from the bottom to drop out the ceiling
We hop in and kill it
Said I am the realest,
HateDiss is spittin,
Fish out the water - he wet up, we drippin
And I'm Irie Givens, we lettin' em know:
We gon live forever
We gon live forever
We gon live forever
[Verse2-Irie Givens]
Boy I spit that good English!
Irie get the whole hood to sing it, I
Never seen a gun in 701, but I let em all hum
My 'brrrt' the meanest
I don't need a clip, my clique could bring it
Swinging out the whip, what’s the ish they singing?
Tell em:
We THE ARMY
Tell a trick get off me
My 'reca palm
Got your lady fiendin', ah?
My 檳榔 been dumb, huh?
You want some, come get some
你不需要醫生
I got just what you need son....
Here’s my villains prescription:
We the illest written in the description,
Swim with the Fish if you spittin' them writtens
Then Hate-a-Diss make a kid swallow they sentence like:
然後是我 right now
大家好,你能叫我
Irie Givens 在這裡
或是爸爸,都可以
說英文, but I'm still a resident
Tell Tsai Ying Wen I’m the President
And this the election
Procession, I'm guessin'
I’m flexing my blessings
And ending recessions! Like:
[Hook]
Came from the bottom to drop out the ceiling
We hop in and kill it
And I am the realest,
HateDiss is spittin,
Fish out the water - he wet up, we drippin'
And I'm Irie Givens, we lettin' em know:
We gon live forever
We gon live forever
We gon live forever
[Verse3-黑帝斯]
埋藏 在 危機之中 難 免成驚弓之 鳥直搗心 中被他人輕易命 中
要害-負面已經超載 就算熱水燒開 物資匱乏也要將它飲乾
要小心自 己的餘力別 被他人輕易擰乾 精氣頂穿
WHO!
做壞事後假裝正氣凜然 把真相隱瞞 對著你玩 完蛋
當局者迷 得 團團轉
轉轉轉喔 幹
逼這麼緊 要讓 人怎 麼呼 吸
你 把我搞得很慘 不會 變得比較 有 出息
生存在困 境 才看透人 心
什麼是人 性 他不講仁 義
沒道理 什麼-都要 二選一
不是天堂就是地獄
當個奴隸 (也得努力)
當個英雄 (沒那個命)
就做你自己
做你自己
你自己是誰不該被他人定義
[Hook]
Came from the bottom to drop out the ceiling
We hop in and kill it
And I am the realest,
HateDiss is spittin,
Fish out the water - he wet up, we drippin'

We gon' live forever
We gon' live forever

[Irie Givens, Verse 1]
She say she do it for the head flush
Then legs bust up on the floor, she feelin bed bugs
Itchin' for the next jug, or the next club
Sipping from the next cup - okay, next cut:
She say she ready for next drug
And she won’t ever forget you just for the next thug
She say this her best love, & you believe her 'cause your legs touch
Ready set, bump in case the feds rush!
And then...
You never did it but you read 'nuff
You fully in it even when you never said much
And she committed, you can feel that she can feel it
Hit the ceiling in a minute then forget it all till the next cut...
[Hook]
Tell me you just fell in love too
Tell me you just fell in love too
[Hook]
Tell me you just fell in love too
Tell me you just fell in love too
[Verse 2]
Damn, I wish that I remembered what his name was
We shared the same love plus we did the same drugs
Plus I think he famous
Not that it matters but who said a couple cameras ever change us?

[Irie Givens, Verse 1]
I feel like Melania Trump
I be my best from the jump
I pump my chest on the front
Whenever I’m in the spread
That’s why these nxggas with money love me, bump me to the front
Wear "Ion't care" on my back, long as I’m getting my bread:
I’m eating, you tweeting so y'all don’t get what I said,
Y’all round here geeking and tweaking cause I don’t talk round the feds,
And I don’t speak 'less I mean it, that’s why I don't got to say it,
And my greetings is fleeting like ODB out the projects
To cop this government money, tell 'em thanks for my closet
Hop up back in the whip and get back to stackin' my chips
Don’t take no crap from the gits
Don’t even crack my own whip
Tell big boy run up on Bambi daddy and craft me a switch
Like they gon' catch me, some shit?
Don’t have me spaz like the Brits
Y’all couldn’t even pass my mans when he was passed through ya fence
And this ain’t even my area, heard that This is America
Well I rolled up in here and I bagged America’s bxtch
[Hook]
(Throw some D's on that-)
Let me flex, Let me flex, I’ll be best, I’ll be best

Let me flex, Let me flex, I’ll be best, I’ll be best
(Throw some D's on that-)
Let me flex, let me flex, I’ll be best
And I’m keeping my promises: treat people with respect.

Let me flex, Let me flex, I’ll be best, I’ll be best

Let me flex, let me flex, I’ll be best
And I’m keeping my promises: treat people with respect.
[Verse 2]
Y’all on my set and my nuts and my neck for the fuck of a check
Play with my fame but don’t play by my name when you pay for my plane 'fore I fuck up the jet
Perth in the morning then Rome with the homies, might swerve through Nairobi to fuck with the left
But y’all couldn’t cap me; they nappy but clapped me all happy to catch me be Jackie the flesh
...Lemme catch me a breath, which city we headed to next?
Pull my card: I got black and a green in the vest, I’m rollin' up clean to the decks
Heard my nigga got caught in the storm but if he don’t pull up we ain’t stressed
I still got niggas on dial who could lay the pipe down fore I get to unbutton the dress
It’s only which button to press?
...Should I check if we fucking through SMS?
Two phones like I’m Hillary, literally got way more than one address to the flex
Where should I cop some chains or some stains for the neck?
Only make it rain where I get it wet.
Dry texts for these lames on the internet
Tell 'em be at rest, cause I'ma be my fuckin-
[Hook]
(Throw some D's on that-)
Let me flex, Let me flex, I’ll be best, I’ll be best

[Verse 1]
Only thing can ensure closure is infinity
See me to the end I put some green up in that synergy
Grind it up you get some hard dick
Makin love is art, shit...
I get a stroke in, you could say you got a friend in me
Ima get to strokin' soft to hard like when we frenemies
Ima get to strokin' like you need a paramedic please
I might get to chokin': you can’t breathe and I can’t breathe!
Let me be just like a sheep, 'cause I'm a-breed, 'till I can’t breathe
[Hook]
Let me in your ocean so I wake up in yo dreams
Let me get this motion in the way I get my cream
Let me get some lotion 'fore I get all between, LORD
Let me get to soakin': Hallelujah! Now I’m clean
Let me in your ocean so I wake up in yo dreams
Let me get this motion in the way I get my cream
Let me get some lotion 'fore I get all between, LORD
Let me get to soakin': Hallelujah! Now I’m clean
[Verse 2]
Truer words ain’t ever been so slow to get so spoken
Wasn’t jokin' when I focused up on floatin' to yo boat and
Opened up a conversation bout you staying over something
Like a Sunday in the river... or a Sabbath on the mall...
Gave a weekend; what you thinking? 'bout "you wanna have 'em all,"
You ain’t even really thinkin' that you tweaking? Not at all?
If you wanna be the reason that I wanna have a god,
Show me something every season not only when I Fall.
Let me in your ocean so I wake up in yo dreams
Let me get this motion in the way I get my cream
Let me get some lotion 'fore I get all between, LORD
Let me get to soakin': Hallelujah! Now I’m clean
[Hook]
Let me in your ocean so I wake up in yo dreams

If you see yourself as part of the whole,
Would you dwell here in safety? Where else would you go?
If you love yourself, as all under Heaven,
The World can safely
into your hands, be given.
[Boddhi Sativa & Irie Givens]
Into your hand, be given.
[Hook]
Chilly Wind Don’t Blow through my Town
Can’t Get Out This Mood, all this sonnin' got me down
Mississippi Goddamned, Florida heat don’t fuck around
Nina make a Sinnerman feet fear to leave the ground:
Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood to understand my sound
& since My Love is Gone, this a Work Song now -
[Verse 1]
Fuck it, I should have been a pianist:
"Yo Nate, what fucking key is this?"
'Cause all I'm tryna do is rap and now I gotta sing and shit
Let my freedom ring to get
A bar from out my armory
To lob up on the harmony
The rest of y’all gon' waste ya clip on all these feeds to talk about these Robberies you never did,
Babes who never hit ya crib,
And tragedies to add to ya personalities
Yeah it’s liiit
-erature, your caricatures of rappers, clowns
Comic book characters, pass ya panels - you puffin' clouds?
Shit I’m glad Slim Jesus was never ducking rounds.
If he was black you nxggas be bumpin' [Slim] Jesus now?
Guess that’s the hood and how we hold us down
We say we kings then stick the thorns up in each other’s crowns,
Then Pilate wash his hands: we paid for tickets!
Sell our souls to Lucifers trade, then blame the bigots
Shouldn’t have gave us “nxgga”; shouldn’t have made us nxggas;
Well why you stayed a nxgga?
Cause they still pay for nxggas
10 Million Plays, my nxgga?
We gettin paid my nxgga.
Go get your paper nxgga.
[Hook]
Chilly Wind Don’t Blow through my Town
Can’t Get Out This Mood, all this sonnin' got me down
Mississippi Goddamned,
[Bridge]
...the hook, I ain’t gotta fish for clout
I got too many verses left to air out
So I let my hair out and put my palm to my nuts
And cock 'em up just like my cock could bust a glock off the cuff
[Verse 2]
I’m honest enough to say that I was soft to the touch
To be molded like molten gold in spite of god and his dust
I dropped a rib to drop a kid and now I hardened us up
I put the apple in my throat but you was all in her guts
And then you callin' me the bitch because I’m not with the fuss?
You eat the fruit or eat a dick, I don’t think God give a fuck!
I think the way we make machines is God’s regarding for us,
To execute to the extreme the things we harbor like lust:
He blew his dreams into our brains, we artificial as fuck
So I used the rhyme just a second time cause nothing new since genocide
& Genesis: life is gon' loop forever, nxgga, then it’s this:
Sisyphus up the precipice. We all go around:
Intelligent monkeys washing our nuts in the sound
Somebody did it before like somebody doin it now.
When I was six I took a dip and wondered what if I drowned?
I held my head under the water felt the silence profound
And ever since I felt the pinch of demons pryin' my crown
Cryin aloud, "Why you thinking 'bout it? Try it you clown!"
Then I got pissed and put the pills inside to quiet 'em down
Like was I sick or was I living too outside of my dome?
Having out of body experiences, but crying for home
This life insidious to tell you we was dyin' alone
(We ain't dying alone).
[Verse 3]
I used to think that God would stay up in the sky, I was wrong
So when I tried to die I thought I’d spite her just like her own
Ask her why she had forsaken me like she hadn’t known
Abram wouldn’t have killed his son, and then the message was felt
How you gon' body somebody you can’t embody ya self?
Life’s a bitch and then you s'posed to wanna die so what else?
Body yourself because you wouldn’t body somebody else?
So I let Jesus have his role, and Saul could have his road and
Lazarus have his hole and Lucifer have his goal,
And gave myself but a song and some work to go sing along
As I’m steady pushing my Rock like I’ll miss it when it’s gone
'Cause death and taxes are certain. Life and work have surprises
So if you wanna [redacted], take it from one who tried it:
The meaning of life is love and how we dying to find it.
Afeni Shakur was right for sure: how we die should define it.

[Verse 1]
Wanted to tell you something important
Something deluxe and potent
The homies told me you won’t get
Nothing if you ain’t touching on
What you puffin' or smokin',
Tokin', takin' or chokin' on:
"Irie, you just a rapper!
Tell us what you been snortin', cause
We just wanna relate to you
Tell us what you been takin', we
Taken all that you taken to
Take it, and we gon' take it too.
Life is so situational,
Simulations of placement, so
Stay in yo situation:
I learn from the way you play and flow."
[Hook]
Rappers do repetition 'cause listeners never listen:
Pastors do praise in rhythm,
Pass you the prayer to give 'em
So when you spit it the message ain’t hidden
Now you forgiven
'cause he
Mastered how to tell a god the words that mean precision.

Just 'cause yo feet hurt don’t mean you doin' the research:
What’s your epistemology? Research design philosophy?
Honestly we can get on the mic and think we got policies...
Yeah you seen the world in spurts, and I don’t think we the worst
For preaching to the people, but worse, the purpose of rappin':
If people didn’t know they problems, pastors would've went platinum
Creflo should get his jet though if granny don’t wanna let go
The halo she putting over him: none of us really special.
He hurt you over your virtues, I’m just sharing my vices
You droppin' paper for all my failures? I raise my prices
They slaughtered my forefathers for they spices, so how we lost?
You Bleed us like they did Jesus, you squeeze us to see the sauce
Thought we was made in His likeness?
How these men turn to mices
And stammer over my grammar?
I guess that syntax suffices...
We hear the most in our fragments
And feel the fullest in slices;
We straight when we know who crooked
Just live and you’ll be the livest,
Yeah.
[Kanye West, Bridge]
(Interview segment, not reprinted for copyright)
[Hook]
I said:
Rappers do repetition cause listeners never listen
Scrub up over the surface to glisten over the glistenin’
We told no money meant no problems but also had a shiny suit
That’s why we put it in the hook so you won’t have to go fishin’
That’s Jesus mission: we follow what we was given
Even if we up and down like the contra to all his Diction
I thought we s'posed to shoot but apparently I been missin'
Move in ways that they don’t understand and cheat the game to win it.

Rappers do repetition cause listeners never listen
But itches always do itchin
If all I did was "b" a little I’d make a killin'
But I’m an a-hole, see me in your k-holes, kissin' ya cognition, like
I love you even though you was born sinnin'
J.Cole the way we power trippin' just to get like the shower drippin'
Wet up like the bull markets or Pippen when the DOW was illin'
Then corona cooled us over, asked us “son, how you feelin?”

[Irie Givens, Intro]
Na na, nah nah, nuh
Na na, nah nah, nuh
Nananananuh
Ow, ow, uhoh-
[Verse 1]
I make good sounds
So let yo hood down
Then bring yo hood round
Let’s start the barbecue
We got two ounce
Of some that good loud
And packs of that good owl
So what you wanna do?
Trust it’s no stems no seeds
Just ten box of beef
We eating after we chiefin':
Both the flavor good
But first we gotta roll up the paper good
And fire up the neighborhood
Homies from off the streets could get it too
[Irie Givens, Bridge]
Cause this finna be the spot to play
I finally found some faith up on my block today
Hey
So let the people say preach
Cause this the height of my speech
And I just wanted to reach out and give y’all a spot to pray.
[Message the Lioness, Hook]
I know that things get so heavy
I'll open your mind if you let me
Don't trip on the past, keep it steady
'Cause I got you, and you got me
You got me?
Never putting my faith on temporary
Life is too short, it can get scary
I'ma live 'till I die without worry!
[Irie Givens, Verse 2]
Shout out to Cheikhou, yo-
I heard my dawg don't touch the swine no more
Come take a plate, you'll stay divine for sure
Already know we got that kosher, halal
But still got pork and kabobs
Corn on the cobs and we loaded with sauce
Jamaican patties from the granny with the shop up off of 75th
Her nephew Ray brought the Wray and Nephew we ready to sip
And yo - on no petty shit, I know we can’t play R. Kelly no more
But I’m tryna step in the name of love out here, damn it, so whoever on the aux
YOU BETTER be lit
[Irie Givens, Bridge]
Cause this finna be the spot to play
I finally found some faith up on my block today
Hey
So let the people salaam alaykum
Like the peak of Ramadan with speakers on
Let's lift up every voice and pray
Cause this finna be the spot to play
I finally found some faith up on my block today
Hey
So let the people salaam alaykum
Like the peak of Ramadan with speakers on
Let's lift up every voice and pray
[Message the Lioness, Hook]
I know that things get so heavy
I'll open your mind if you let me
Don't trip on the past, keep it steady
'Cause I got you, and you got me
You got me?
Never putting my faith on temporary
Life is too short, it can get scary
I'ma live 'till I die without worry!
[Irie Givens, Bridge]
I don’t care if you don’t like them
I’m gonna invite them
Ya better let the past get past!
Or y’all gon' have to fight then
Minute round of excitement
Whoever getting last, get last
Oooh,
If y'all fine now, aight then
No time to spite them
The cypher bout to start up and spazz!
If you coming up too light then
Pass up to my white friend
The mic, cause trust the homie could smash
Yo!
[Myles Optimystic, Verse 3]
I'm like Oooh,
Deja Vu
Something feeling real familiar, so how about you
Turn the speakers up to make them bump 'till 2:22
AM, we're playing all the latest, greatest records that spin, woo~
The smoke in the air - not just the grill, you smell me
Louder then the music and there's nothing that a pig could tell me
It's all good vibes in my tribe, we know our rights
And if it comes down to it, all we ever pack is that light, so
Spark your brightest flames as we maintain
And simultaneously ride the tide
Create a new wave that you say
Is right for humankind right here in this day and time
[Irie Givens & Myles Optimystic]
But first you must look inside
[Myles Optimystic]
But first you must look inside:
There's no reason to hide, the gift you have within is divine
I got a feeling we could find faith if we open our eyes wide
You always have a choice to question why
And if you question, you may find there is nothing to find.
[Irie Givens, Interlude]
I know, I know:
We are the World, We are the Children
But you know what else? We are able to get ignant with it too!
Now I got two white friends, you look at MDDM-
[MDDM]
Why is Spongebob the main character,
but like...
Patrick...
He's the star?
[Irie Givens]
...
Because he's a square like yo ass
If you don't pass the-
[MDDM, Verse 4]
Choking from all of the smoke
Spirits, fillet and a coke
Feet up, we laughing and joke
It's me, my homies and folks.
Somewhere face down in a pool
Got me high acting a fool
Red eyes, starting to drool
Pulled a table to stool
Bro in the corner rolling a zoot
Some of that purple Gorilla Glue
Pass to the left, got in the queue
Came to my turn, lit up this Jew
Pass it again, pass out of 10
Puff, puff, pass, and I'm feeling the zen
Woke up and then
Picked up the phone
Did it again
Did it again-
[Irie Givens, Recessional]
End of Prodigal Sonshine :)
