It Was Written

[Intro: billy woods] Yeah, yeah Picture me rollin', man [Verse 1: billy woods] You only dream pictures Snake-devoured tails, circle vicious Search for words like "how can I put this" when 'this' itself is amorphous One set of footprints Out the valley we're gorgeous, gorgeous Afterlife's bored as porous Monotheist built a fortress This a landline, it's just cordless You never heard a dial tone in your life You never laid awake for that call in the night wishin' you dreamt it all My father's killer came to make right I heard him and my mother through the hall Still see it like Neanderthal wall, not no written language They said the greats ain't write shit, they just poured out they anguish And the Henny flowed like rivers And the blunts was like Shaq's fingers And mens was men, bitches was bitches All was paradise until the first one started snitchin' It was written [Verse 2: E L U C I D] Yeah, yeah Terror in the name of law and order Somersault walk burnt clubfoot caustic Pigeon toe field nigga how to reach corporate Pork belly future, ripe abortion Dancin' underwater but not getting wet Shackle on neck, I woke erect Knew right or wrong before the right of correction Had to move on, they couldn't answer my question My discography is a radical act of love and protection From chaos, bomb blast blown in every which direction Put on the whole armor, get back before karma Send out a word, adrenaline surge, first Intifada Who taught you manhood, my nigga? You never met your father (Prolly wasn't shit anyway) Unpopular opinion, but let's be honest Where's the difference between a threat and a promise? Who the fuck want what? Unanswered question we've been askin' for the longest For the longest, stabbin' off the hook, collection cordless Made a bed of black orchids in the Leviathan's fortress It's 2017 and Flint still ain't got clean water Cough up a lung where I'm from; there were many, there were none Off the head, you're retarded; the dumb, the hardest to stun Phasers on (phasers on, phasers on)
