[Verse 1: billy woods]
I tried being the RZA, I tried to help
Now it’s more like Fidel, I need the island to myself
It’s a ill wind but it’s all in my sails, at first, freedmen let the cane rot in the fields
Jean-Jacques Dessalines chained 'em back to the wheel
It’s really not about how you feel (No)
It’s points on the package, vigorish on the action
Millions and millions and fractions, fractured, Black bodies boiled into molasses
You could sell me as a slave, I’ll still be ya master
That’s centrifugal force, I’m a cynical bastard
Lookin' for honest man, handgun in hand
Talk about justice, but when it’s just us, they do the Running Man
Small axe chop ya money tree
Deface the currency
Currently, you standin' in my sun, my run-on sentences run concurrently
Never had it like that, so it don’t worry me
Dem No Worry We
Super Cat front Super Power Records, that’s how you curry beef
[Chorus: billy woods]
Both feet on the ground, but it's money in 'e sky
It's no money down, but that interest is high
Revolutionary rhetoric, but you sellin' a lie
The music got hidden messages like traps in the rye
[Verse 2: E L U C I D]
(I, too, am)
(Niggas, ay)
E'ry mask is not to hide the face
Every lash cannot bleed out of faith
If not for love, why?
I never imagined God could find the skies
Earth to taste
Dominion wasted
Cold water
Great awakenin'
Stop making sense
Seen just beyond
How else to carry on?
I can just die here
I can just die here
Close the book (Close the book)
Soft dirt (Soft dirt)
Earth first (Earth first)
Home turf on my fourth birth (My fourth birth)
Darker than blue, marked
Set apart
Suffer not the fool, finish 'fore you start
Timid till he peep the scar
Bloodthirst, parched
Hatchet a dream book
Start chartin' charms
Believe it, please
Infinite ways to be you, still chop at the knees
None spared
Terror, mad vision schemes
In the thick of things
Sweltering heat
Stiff southern freeze
Taking all I need
Tell my horse (Tell my hor')
No rain necessary
The body hit the floor
In the name of the most mercy
Grace ran out
[Chorus: billy woods]
Both feet on the ground, but it's money in 'e sky
It's no money down, but that interest is high
Revolutionary rhetoric, but you sellin' a lie
The music got hidden messages like traps in the rye
