[Intro] The physical, I'm back to basics Yeah [Chorus] Fighting what I'm feeling, physical I'm back to basics Back to back with parallel universe and spaces The land of native Indian, we share the faces Mated with those who made it off the slave ship Famous, stars, straps, stopped smoking gas I won't relapse, bleeding like it's tree sap Vince Carter knee cap, me and my brothers need rap Me and my brothers [Verse] Expressions on the faces that I'll never forget Heart racing till the writing is left Chase pavements, I collide when I step Two faces, four persons, six spirits protect Eight voices, ten horses, twelve miracles dealt Can't stay for disappointment, left my conscience bereft Longitude and latitude, my gratitude what is left And if they ever cast a spell I let my father clear the hex Next day, yeah, right by the stairs, her blood was in the flesh My love for little Skylar and my big cousin Seth Smoking getting higher, I be tired of this shit Who am I kidding, I be lying, held the lighter to my lip When Baker had a deathwish, when neighbors was my best friends When Laker Nation wasn't winning, I was in it for the long haul Speed of light I guide the ground balls Short stop, long journey to my downfall Rain pour sound off, the moon still 'round Call home if you gotta With my father playing football at the Lion's field I'm out the lion's den Evander Holyfield, Tyson bit the helix Black cap, white face like Felix You don't feel this unless you do Ask Navy Blue who built the pyramids Obatala, white cloth as we speak of Thoth Days lost, more gained I remember God, I remember choosing Just who I wanted to come through Body made of bruises I tied the noose and gained movement [Chorus] Fighting what I'm feeling, physical I'm back to basics Back to back with parallel universe and spaces The land of native Indian, we share the faces Mated with those who made it off the slave ship Famous, stars, straps, stopped smoking gas I won't relapse, bleeding like it's tree sap Vince Carter knee cap, me and my brothers need rap Me and my brothers
