Lyrics
Come here girl? Oh you want me to touch you right there? Oh, like a little lamb, play in your hair Oh you want it? Oh you want it right now Like that? I got you baby All on you baby Push it back on daddy Push it back on daddy baby I seen it vividly jogging my brain memory, life is... I seen it vividly jogging my brain memory Life is long as infinity this was the final calling No birds chirping or flying no dogs barking We all nervous and crying moving in caution In disbeliefs our beliefs reason for all this The tallest building plummet, cracking and crumbling The ground is shaking swallowing young woman With a baby, daisies, and other flowers burning in destruction The smell is disgusting the heat is unbearable Preachers touching on boys run for cover the paranoid Rapists and murderers hurdle alleys Valleys and high places turn into Das Famous screaming in agony Atheists for suicide, planes falling out the sky Trains jumping off the track, mothers yelling "he's alive" Backpedaling christians settling for forgiveness Evidence all around us the town is covered in fishes Ocean water dried out, fire burning more tires out Tabernacle and city capital turned inside out Public bathroom, college classroom's been deserted Another trumpet has sounded off and everyone heard it (It's happening) no more running from world wars (It's happening) no more discriminating the poor (It's happening) no more bad bitches and real niggas Wishing for granite gold the last taste of a lord I swore I seen it vividly I mine a couple from heaven that play the symphony Thunder like number four, then I heard "What have you did for me" I fell to my knees, pulled out my resume Then did it back to June 17th, 1997 My paperwork was like a receipt I was valedictorian, I was fearful of judgment But confident I had glory in all my past endeavors Close my eyes pray to god that I live forever Dark skies, fire and brimstone some of us sit home Some of us never did wrong but still went to hell Geez Louise I thought you said that I excel I made To Pimp a Butterfly 'fore you told me To use my vocals to save man-kind for you Say I didn't try for you, say I didn't ride for you I tied for you, I pushed the club to the side for you Who love you like I love you? Crucifix, tell me you can fix Anytime I need, I'mma start jotting everything in my diary Never would you lie to me Always camaraderie, I can see, hard days been numbered Revelation greatest as we hearing the last trumpet All man, child, woman, life completely went in reverse I guess I'm running in place trying to make it to church Young nigga act an ass Young nigga act a fool Young nigga get yo' cash Young nigga do what it do Young nigga go, young nigga go Young nigga go, young nigga go Whatever makes all of you happy in this bitch Just take it all back before the light switch
