[Sample] When the stars begin to shine The wind is flowing through my mind When the stars begin to shine The wind is flowing through my mind [Verse 1: Billy Woods] Goosedown in the ghost town Push the Peugeot around Back-in angle parking front the Polo Grounds Willie Mays plaque, same haze from way back Dominican frankincense, sandalwood, burnt cinnamon She not around no mo You wonder where she go You wonder who she know You wish she was a ho Your true self show, the rest superimposed All these misery lights remind me I’m home Cruising slow, stopped, copped mofongo to go Stereo Diamonds on that Wood, Pocket Fulla Stones You wonder if she alone You can’t hit her phone Pride too strong, turn the loud on Wonder if she really gone Like gone, gone C’mon you know she gone, that’s a phantom arm Opera catwalk snicker, Rambo knife in my mouth nigga Best seats in the house [Chorus] Is it real? Is it really? Is it real? Is it really really? Is it real? Is it really? is it really really? Is it real? Is it really? is it really really? Is it real? Is it really? is it really really? [Verse 2: Elucid] Pact sealed with cemetery silence This is me, you, and this room and bearing witness This is not my body However you move, I'm behind Any decision you commit to There's no windows in this waiting room Nobody should have to leave here alone So many different stories A common thread We're all on the final chapter Small talk with strangers, awkward laughter Lowering my eyes I'm not sure how to really feel, if I was being real Cocktail of relief and guilt got my stomach in knots Watching the clock, second hand stopped Why the fuck is there a TV here playing Rob Schneider movies on loop Hunger pang, I fast in solidarity The air is stale Color drab Death surrounds us all with a familiar squeeze We come in need, making offerings The prayers go up and the blessing come running down red The prayers go up and the blessing come running down red [Outro: Gil Scot-Heron (Sample) ] "See, my office used to be right down here, on the corner of 9th and W. When I'd tell people I was at 9th and W, they'd say 'Maaaan, ain't that a rough neighborhood?' I'd say, 'Yeah it is pretty rough. But it ain't as rough as 11th and W. And it ain't even as rough as 16th and Pennsylvania. I feel the people that's got to live over there, they really in trouble.' Ah, everybody gets a look at the White House when they come to Washington DC, but this is a part of what goes on in front of the White House that very few people ever get a chance to take a look at. Across the street, they're demonstrating for world peace. Over here, you have different signs and everything, sentenced to the star of our B movie, asking him about justice and freedom and equality. You know, the protests that are launched in this country are not launched necessarily against the government. They're launched in terms of the fact that this country has rarely lived up to its advance publicity. This is supposed to be the land of justice, liberty, and equality, and that's what everybody over here is looking for."
