  • Hallelujah, thank God I have a future
    Prayin' I don't waste it gettin' faded
    'Cause I'm smoking until I'm coughin' up tar
    Feel the surge, energy curve like a lumbar
    I don't act hard, still read Babar
    Trippin' out, lookin' at a bunch of Google Maps stars, shit
    They got a app for that

    But me, I'm still trapped inside my head I kinda feel like its a purgatory
    So polite and white, but I got family who would murder for me
    Think I'm living paradise, what would I have to worry 'bout?
    Dealing with these demons, feel the pressure, find the perfect style (perfect style)
    Making sure my mom and dad are still somewhat in love
    All these backfires of my experiments with drugs
    And I experience z touch of my epiphany in color form
    Difference between love and war inform me I'm above the norm
    Give me anybody though, I'll gladly chew his face off, them bath salts
    Rhymin' like it's summertime on asphalt, hot
    Haven't picked a major label think I'm blackballed
    I still don't got the heart to pick my phone up when my dad calls
    Will he recognize his son when he hears my voice?
    I put this music against my life, I think I fear the choice
    And I don't know what I'm running from, but I'm running still
    I conversate with acquaintances, but it's nothing real
    I'm from a city that you hear and think a bunch of steel
    So a hundred mills wouldn't make me sign a fucking deal (fuckin' deal)
    Money kills, that's the truth, it's called the root of evil
    But I want that Rolls Royce that the homie Lennon drove
    So if you don't talk about some money I'ma send you home
    Unconventional, special but unprofessional
    Adolescent expression that's lettin' me meet these centerfolds
    As troubles fill my mind capacity, I let 'em go (let 'em go)
    If I was Johnny Depp in Blow, I would let it snow (would let it snow)
    That's just me all wildin' out and being extra though (extra though)
    Yeah

    And if God was a human, it'd be yours truly
    Watching horror movies with some foreign groupies
    Thinking this decor suits me (this decor suits me)
    I do drugs to get more loopy, I'm in tune
    To ancient jujitsu spirituals, it's blissful (it's blissful)
    Looking out as far as eyes can see
    I'm glad that me and this elevation could finally meet (could finally meet)
    I think I'm JFK's final speech
    They try assassinating all of my beliefs
    But I'm asleep so whisper to me for the peace of mind
    And he be high, some weed to grind on top a Jesus shrine (Jesus shrine)
    Twenty thousand on my watch 'cause I needed time (time)
    If y'all would leave me the fuck alone, that'd be divine (be divine)
    Can't decide if you like all the fame
    Three years ago to now, it's just not the same (not the same)
    I'm looking out the window ashin' on the pane (ashin' on the pane)
    Shit, wonder if I lost my way

    Don't you ever wanna hide away? (Wanna hide away?)
    Poseidon triumph in the eyes of rain
    Won't give a fuck about tomorrow if I die today (die today)
    I'll greet the devil with a smilin' face
    Shit, that God fellow may reside in space
    As time's a-wasting I'm freebasing with Freemasons
    My girl's switchin' the locks, the keys keep changin' (keep changin')
    Dreamin' of places, my own personal creations
    If there's a party in heaven, I plan to leave wasted
    Retracin' my steps way back to biblical times
    We-we all gon' end up meetin' at the finishin' line

    And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart
    And you shall teach them diligently to your children
    And you shall speak of them when you sit at home
    And when you walk along the way, and when you lie down
    And when you rise up, I am the lord, your god Writer/s: Malcolm McCormick, Thebe Kgositsile
