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)
