WE GET HIGH
Chorus:
We Get High
We Get High
Get To Rolling
Get To Rolling
(Won’t Come Down)
-Repeat 2x-
The most Purple Urkle circle hurdles
My heart beat the speediest
I’m so high that I’m not
These brownies got the wrong ingredients
I’m blowed
How the fuck am I getting home?
The most sticky-icky eights cost fifty
I got it for forty
The loudest shit in the city
My habit got me so picky
Say it proud
We only fuck with loud
Chorus:
We Get High
We Get High
Get To Rolling
Get To Rolling
(Won’t Come Down)
-Repeat 2x-
Verse 2:
The most caramel, cotton, candy
Sour Apple, power slap you
Homie went to take shit
And fell asleep in the bathroom
We Just Laughed
I don’t even think he whipped his ass
The most smoking token
Cali coasting the back alley smoking
So loud the neighbors awoke and
Told us cut down the commotion
Apologize?
I can’t even open my eyes
Hook:
We Get High
We Get High
Get To Rolling
Get To Rolling
(Won’t Come Down)
-Repeat 2x-
Bridge:
Keep my weed nestled in that jar
When I chief that weed wrestle with those stars
I’m just living
Fuck the System

GO ON
Hook:
Woke up this morning believing in God
The spirit of power
This fear has got to go on
Woke up this morning to see the sunrise
Needed to fly
From here I’ve got to go on
Verse:
Aaliyah needs a resolution
And the victims of Katrina need their restitution
And the Christians don’t believe in the evolution
And the prisons don’t believe in our retribution
Man I would just pray for hours
See the drought and pray for showers
See the showers pray for flowers
Hoping that a harvest grow
James Joyce: A Portrait of the Artist Getting Old
Nearly 24 by now I thought I’d be on the road
Records going gold
Selling out my shows
Caught at a red light
That’s how life goes
Homie at FootLocker said nigga protect your soul
I’m reading between the lines I had to respect the code
And I don’t even go home for holidays
Maybe Christmases and Father’s Days
Cuz lately Pop like a Doc got a lot to say
And the older I get I seem to see the wiser his ways
I’m just young and I’m dreaming
Dumb and I’m thinking that I could change the world
Or give the game life
Maybe spot a babygirl
OR reintegrate it right
Maybe I could change the swirl
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up and it fester the same place the dream occurred?
Green baby, change worlds, kiss cheeks
Way them niggas love the streets boy they probably dream of curbs
My God giving me answers to the same thing that gave me cancers
Told me bare it all baby exotic dancers
My son born to ball baby
Quincy McCall Baby
Hook:
Woke up this morning believing in God
The spirit of power
This fear has got to go on
Woke up this morning to see the sunrise
Needed to fly
From here I’ve got to go on
Verse:
Scheming on the Better Dayz
Dreamed of me and Pac rapping in the Everglades
Dreamed of me and Doc rapping how to settle AIDS
Bobby Valentino of the rapping I just “Tear The Page”
Age is a limit that we as humans invented because we don’t believe in time enough to go and transcend it
God gave me the key
Headed straight to the prison
I know I can set em free but that’s more than a state of existence
Inshallah, Wattah Tang, Wattah Tah
Hope the name save everything hang under stars
Muslims laughing at pictures of white Jesus the Christians laughing at Muslims that say they don’t like Jesus
My girl got a big booty
Big enough to make a bitch nigga get coodies
Big enough to make a rich nigga get rubies
Big enough to make a Ricky Rick nigga forget Lucy, Sue me
Say, do you believe in Providence?
Temple of Kings, dreams, do you believe in Solomon?
I read a couple Psalms then it's back to my Qur’an again
Ask God, What if I fall?
He say, “Well boy, well, that’s where I begin.”
If it was a big bang you didn’t let your big heart outweigh your big brain
If it was Adam and Eve or some Johnny Appleseed
Then your love is a sea from some mighty big rain
When gravity brings me to my knees, it's a perfect timing to pray
I’m seeing the forest through the trees
Illuminating the breeze
Belief got me flying away.
Hook:
Woke up this morning believing in God
The spirit of power
This fear has got to go on
Woke up this morning to see the sunrise
Needed to fly
From here I’ve got to go on

Verse:
Lover, lover, I ain’t seen her in a minute
On the other side like the line of scrimmage
Wait got my mind racing like I’m tryna win the pennant
Spelman had raised the tuition so she went away to Benet
Retail therapy the benefits of Lenox
Living scarily I’m Malcolm on 125th and Lennox
Game need change so I’m finna penny pinch it
Turn the paint into my lane and call it the same difference
Giving pounds to everybody that’s around
You look like a real nigga
Must be from the town
I’m just tryna build niggas
Call that Upward Bound
Feel (Phil) Niggas, I’m your Will nigga
Hold my uncles down
Pre:
Don’t run from me chase the sun for me
So when they come for me rays will cover me

Verse:
Lover, lover I ain’t seen her in a minute
Give blood for her like I seen her in a clinic
Wait, penis got a penchant
For hella brown, hella down, booty round
Like it's eating other women’s
Bioluminescent
Light alludes, and might dilute perceptions
Ain’t fly as you though they might move trajection
Wait boo got a question
How’d an angel like yourself
land in danger need some help
from this peasant?
Pre:
Don’t run from me chase the sun for me
So when they come for me rays will cover me
Chorus:
How’d you become so luminescent?

GOT DAMNED
Verse:
Demolishing all my obstacles
Allah said I’m the prodigal
Ma confirmed it was true
Now I’m feeling as unstoppable
As ambulances to hospitals
So many money trees
Fuck it, we burning the root
So hot I burn in the booth
And it’s funny that the profits
Saw ho to get money
Had their namesake adopted
Holla’d at the locksmith
Searching for the key
Said I’m just looking for the truth
And he just kept looking at me
On a mission in my mama’s expedition
Find them niggas in my way
Then you might find them niggas missing
I ain’t have a pot to piss in
But fuck it I got a penis
Go anywhere that I pleases
Similar Uncle Cletus
I been wanting this since a fetus
And angel came to my mama
Her and my papa were dreamers
Waiting on the sun to rise
Rain clouds thunder skies
Here open your eyes
I’m here to make ‘em believers
Chorus:
They scheming on a nigga out here tryna come up
I’m squeezing on them niggas if they try to run up
I been tweaking so long, so long, so long
I see the bigger picture masterpieces of us
I’m dreaming 'til I see the sun up
I’ll be got damned if
Be got damned if I let them take this from me
Verse:
Wait, wait, these niggas wait these niggas
Tweet niggas but out act like they don’t see niggas
Wannabe niggas (Preach nigga!)
Guess everybody needs a role model
But a spades a spade, gold bottle
And is no throttle on the spaceship
Let NASA take this
Houston got a problem like the late Pimp
Shout out to Bun
We Are Young, shout out to Fun.
Done so bright might blot out the sun
Um, I ain’t really wanna rap
Until a nigga heard face
I swear I could hear his scars
In between the boom pap
Like a trap doomed rat
In between the preachings of Hova
HE sold Cola so I ain’t have to go through that
Now I got a passion
Driven, nigga smashing
Giving fingers to women was tripping
Dipping on badges
But I ain’t kissing no asses
We working these niggas out
Affirmative action
Chorus:
They scheming on a nigga out here tryna come up
I’m squeezing on them niggas if they try to run up
I been tweaking so long, so long, so long
I see the bigger picture masterpieces of us
I’m dreaming 'til I see the sun up
I’ll be got damned if
Be got damned if I let them take this from me

Emily Dickinson’s “A Long, Long Sleep, A Famous Sleep”
Recited by Sydellia N’diaye
Verse:
Little girl say
“It's been a long day
But I don’t wanna go to sleep
Can I just watch TV mama?”
Little boy say
“You and Daddy play
Blues tunes and dance the night away,
So why cant we mama?”
Chorus:
Frère Jacques, Do-Re-Me
Made a little mantra to bode you to sleep

Just wanna lay and sleep,
Wrapped in you wrapped in me, Papa”

Verse:
I read a book of Mr. Marley’s
About the Rastafari’s
About the black kings
And emperor Haile Selassie’s
About the Ethiopian's warring with the Somali's
Muslims and Christians fighting over whose God is more Godly
Roller, Buffalo Soldier
Stolen in the night as if cousins don’t know us
And my cousins like damn
"Typa shit is that?
Said he was going to the store
And he’d be right back,"
Shipped to Jamaica
Shipped with my neighbors
Ship so small couldn’t shit couldn’t bathe us
The shit so tall
Predicament so shitty
Sharks tailing the ship just for when we get tossed
What’s the odds of success
When you’re dodging your death?
Theories of relatives we leave, objects at rest
This for all those that left
For Mandela, for Morocco
This for Lumumba, for Bermuda
And Burkina Faso
Chorus:
Red, Yellow, and Green
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and Green
But they don’t even know what it mean

Verse:
Nappy head Peter Tosh
Tatty Dread
Led them to the rocks
Parted seas then across
I done seen many sons like Father Abraham
Lebron of life, prototype
I’m the latest man
It’s crazy not knowing just where you're from
It's like knowing where I was born
Is just knowing how far I’ve come
Hell I could be from Togo
Hell I could be in Soho
And bump into my kinfolk and not even know so
Relentless
God as my witness
Them white folks at the old job on my hit-list
What is this?
They took and hid us in cages
Ain’t nothing but niggas zoos
In prisons across the nation
Remember when we would dream?
Remember when we would build?
Remember when we were kings?
I say wait
Red – Wait – Red
Red – Yellow – Green
(God make a promise, and the promise must come true)
Chorus:
Red, Yellow, and Green
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and Green
But they don’t even know what it mean
Red, Yellow, and Green
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and
Red, Yellow, and Green
But they don’t even know what it mean

When Mary Calls

High as fuck
Paper trails couldn’t wire us
Training wheels couldn’t wire
Fire up
I don’t got so blowed got my gun by door
Like who’s that peeping in my window
I was blowing O’s doing shows
Out here on the road
Hella cold, tryna get it hot
Out here on the stive
On the go
Make it pop
Pop Anna Kornicoves
And a cornerstone on the block
Out here throwing blows
The dreamer inside me wont let the deqmons divide me
Feel something screaming inside me
Whats going on?
The car beaming at 90
Mary she gleaming beside me
The TNT aint ignite
But we blowing strong

Take a shot

When Mary Calls
Take a drop
Forget the time

Vere:
I’m waking up in the morning
The stretching, yawning good Lordie
That flight that I will be boarding
At the time of this recording
We rolling papers and swishers
Texting looking for mistress
They probably got them a Pintrest
My entrance is to her entrance
I mentioned, palms itching
I’m scritching scratching for paper
Too spitting to others fuming
Graduated from human
I’m in a different world
Got a different girl
She’s a different girl
Yeah a different girl
She green with red hairs
Got stock so we share
Felines keep a pair
These lines that I pearl
Doper than what compares
You hating we kick the chair
We rocking like three legs
Living on the edge
As I

Take a shot
Get the line
When Mary Calls

WHAT IT IS?
Verse:
Don’t be playing with that pussy
You pushing me to the ledge
And I’m tumbling with my head
You tumbling to the bed it ain’t thundering but it's wet
Last time neighbors said it was thundering to the deck
And I slide it in unprotected
Feel protected by you’re essence
Fools gold but I’m invested
Met her out on Beckwith
Frat boys was stepping
And she was so fine
I had to hide my erection
I said “Damn
What’s you’re name?”
She said “Queen.”
I said “King Green
Was something you had seen
In your dreams.”
She said “Boy, you ain’t divine
You don’t know my thoughts.”
I said “I cant read your mind
But I can’t read your heart.
As a start, what you thinking?”
Make me a believer
Illmatic, fuck until we turn to ether
I can be your teacher
You can be my principle
Superintendent that ass
Gone and redistrict you
Chorus:
Brought you to the pad
Now you see the crib
Take the sign as
I got a lot to give
Shawty what it is?
What it is?
Grippin on that ass
I don’t care if you got kids
I’ll drop you at your mans
Soon as we get it in
Shawty what it is?
What it is?
Verse:
Don’t be playing with that pussy
You pushing me once again
You push me and I fall in
We like the closest of kin
Cuz nothing close as the skin
So wet, gotta float my way in
She not the type to let them niggas fuck her
Especially the way a nigga fuck her
Do it like I love her
Creep undercover
She deleting our texts
I be hiding our rubbers
You acting like you never screamed before
Or never dreamed before
Say she call me noon at night
Something she never seen before
And she get that screw face
Like she never leaned before
Say I told you we the bomb
Girl the whole team could blow
Lets fuck in the open
Lets fuck while we smoking
Lets fuck while we zoning
Fuck lets fuck while we rolling
Lets fuck while we fucking
I don’t give a fuck
So I gotta give you something
Chorus:
Brought you to the pad
Now you see the crib
Take the sign as
I got a lot to give
Shawty what it is?
What it is?
Grippin on that ass
I don’t care if you got kids
I’ll drop you at your mans
Soon as we get it in
Shawty what it is?
What it is?

TRUE STORIES
Verse:
Mama said “What you gonna do?
Them Miles get lonely
You a different Kind of Blue
Preparing for this journey
You a different kind of you
But before you get to tripping
Know you got to tie your shoes”
Pop said “Got dammit
You know I’m gonna miss you,
Men ain’t supposed to cry
But why didn’t I bring my tissue
Funny growing up
Independence was your issue
Now you independent
And dicking labels that tried to diss you
So give a kiss to your sister
Save one for your mom
Don’t care about you blowing up
We just want you to be the bomb
Feel like heroes when see what we Spawned
On the CD-ROM
You used to mow these lawns.”
Sister said “You know I’m so proud
Remember when you used
to play that Stevie Wonder
So loud
But not even Stevie Wonders
Bet even he knows now
You the new pimp juice
Slinging Vokals
Remember when the flows wasn’t tight
And the shows wasn’t killing
And the hoes wouldn’t bite
You gotta respect it
I rocks the message
They love your Vibe
I love your Essence”
Mm, say no more
Brings tears to my eyes
What you say those for?
Funny y’all love ‘em
Ya’ll the ones I made those for
Y’all the fire ‘till my flame
Cant blaze no Morehouse College
Chorus:
These are true stories
Even true lies
Tell the truth for me
And may the truth rise
Told ‘em these are true stories
But even truth lies
Finding true glory
Staring in truth’s eyes
Verse:
Grandma said “you gone always be my baby
Morehouse man, I can’t believe you graduated
Living in Atlanta now, I heard you had a lady
Hate you left
And hate to say it
But somebody had to make it
Auntie said “Babyboy you gone always just be Brother
Looking in your face
I’ma always see your mother
Something like Sunday dinner
Grandma biscuits with the butter
Know the world can gone and hate you baby
We gone always love you
Rob said “You was just more like my little bro
You was little so
I was overprotective
Checking niggas in the throat
Nah I wasn’t being mean
I was letting niggas know
Let you drink a little brew
And inhale a little dro’
Woah
Dough said “Damn, ‘lil homie
It’s looking like yo ass is the man ‘lil homie
This yo Yeezy Everything I Am, ‘lil homie
It’s funny, this ain’t nothing you ain’t plan ‘lil homie
Chorus:
These are true stories
Even true lies
Tell the truth for me
And may the truth rise
Told ‘em these are true stories
But even truth lies
Finding true glory
Staring in truth’s eyes

THUNDERING (MAY IN OK)
Chorus:
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering on me
-Repeat 3x-
Verse:
Trees toppling
Streets with debris dropped in them
The coming of the king baby
I don’t mean LeBron and them
Salvation, running without chasing
Punkin’ told me to keep it 100 like Dalmatians
Moore, Oklahoma
The devastation got me craving more Oklahoma
Local front pages say that this is your Oklahoma
And I’d write a big check
Like Durant but fuck
The rapping ain’t made me rich yet
I heard the children were hidden within the school
And when the basement collapsed
He was drowned in the swimming pool
I said damn mama
Pray with my hands mama
Sans plans mama
What is a nigga to do?
Wizard of Oz
Ain’t seen a bigger demise
At the shelter like slave masters
Them niggas is ours
He said he’d save the fools
Deliver the wise
Heal your wounds
Lick on your scars
If I had to bet it all
I’d probably bet it all that we’d recover
Hearing heaven call
But how’d you get the number?
I’m tired of fucking off baby
I don’t need a rubber
If your love is lost do you need a brother?
(You need a brother)
They say the tornado was three miles wide
And the sky was so dark
It was like the blackest blue outside
And they emerged form the cells to a new outside
As if God’s hell had grew outside
Reminds me of Twister
Which reminds me of cows flying
Which reminds me of the Times
Suggesting my towns dying
The valley of the wind
Is like honey to the heart
Like Cali to the skin
I pray for ‘em
This something to say for ‘em
Know they cold and alone
I’m watching The Grey for ‘em
Trucks atop of buildings
Churches overturned
Karma made a killing
I watched the bridges burn
This for my niggas on 23rd
My niggas in Chisholm Creek
In the streets
Like them city curbs
Downed power lines
I’m now Powerline
May 199 has somehow reoccurred
F5’s, 200-mile winds
A couple miles in
What about the next five?
You know how that go
At your lowest of low
Trust God makes it so
You may get the best high
Chorus:
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering on me
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering
Won’t stop thundering on me
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering
It keeps thundering on me

Bring socks
Run until we pass the bridge
I got something I wanna ask the wiz
Everybody wanna be Mr. Biggs

DREAMING AGAIN
Verse:
Love turneth away wrath
It's crazy we've collided
Converging the same paths
Wait, where you resided?
The same corner, the same Ave
Where the same "Have'Nots" still envy the same"Have's?"
Crazy how that shit go
A nigga lost his mind
Found an instru-mental
Now it's so divine grand designs of the temple
Now they riding on m waves instead of riding on Lerenzo
"Great things take time Simba"
Heard that the same day I married your mom Simba
And over 30 years later I swear I never saw greater
Eyes stare into mine Simba
Be proud of your pride Simba
Mufasa's must die Simba
But know for every Scar there's a star
To rain down Light to help guide you into the fight Simba
Do right Simba
Pop, I ain't mean to paraphrase
Blue-flint pair of J's
Tell Ye' "You still a nigga, even with yo Paris ways"
Barack should declare a state
But he's not the casualties rot in an early grave
Locked in this aerospace
You soft as a pirouette
Botox nigga how them shots will repair your face
I'm dreamin again
And these hoes like boats for the "seamen" again
Oh, I'm single again?
The love got erased
Because it filled the same place that belief shoulda been
Never been a sub, but I'm teaching again
Uncle Sam been a blood
And he leaching again
Got his hand on the hood
And his teeth in the pen
And homie just keep sinking em in
Either you sink or you swim
Brains like Jay
Locks like Wayne
Wit like Dre
Spit like Ye'
Watchu sayin? Watchu sayin?
Why I compare myself to the greats?
Nigaa, as heavy as Biggie
Compare myself to the weights nigga
Fuck you mean
You better check the date nigga
Every fall, I ball
You better check the tape nigga
48 Hours dramatize homicides
But if you warring with my side
You better check the lake nigga
Hook:
I'm Dreaming Again (4x)
Verse:
Get it on like yo folks ain't home
Or as high as the heights when the dope ain't gone
Oh yo smoke ain't strong?
Sticks and stones?
Words so heavy, surprised they ain't broke no bones
Journey to Philippines
Thriller jacket, Billie jeans
See the scene of poverty
Feel what it really means
Prolly gonna cry
Hoping the fields grow from my water eyes
Geographic genocide
Bitter niggas do bitter things
Bigger niggas do bigger things
Bigger don't seem big enough till you bigging up niggas you once viewed as king
All while living life on the silver screen
(fades out)
