Eminent Domain

[Intro]

To rock the party, they got a fresh show and everything

So if y'all ready, let me hear y'all say, "Yeah"

Say, "Hell yeah"

I'm gettin' paid to learn how to run a business

Rather do things when I want and how I want and get paid more than some office job and eat shit

That ain't what I'm after

Oh, so you are after something

Fuckin' right

And what's that?

Freedom

Freedom from all of it

I'm trying to do shit the right way

Went to the other side, know what I learned?

The game's rigged

It ain't made for people like us, so you know what? I'm rewriting the rules

[Verse]

Picture opportunity skipping over who you be

And thinking you could flag her down but never knew the speed

You get this right and you can write your own eulogy

You pleading with her like, "You don't know what you do to me"

Truthfully, unity would do you beautifully

It's like if y'all was in the park and she was choosing teams

And your handle is buttoned up to fit her suitably

But then she look you up and down like, "You look new to me"

Truthfully, I was born in that, but I was taught get back

Whether from afar or from the thought of where I live at

Being as far as the car that I adore getting to sit at

These white walls should be on tour like encores

How I thought was this shit is all by any means

Word to who my daddy was picturing me to be

Used to listen to him preach how Malcolm Little reformed

But I reversed course the longer daddy was gone

My reform started out in the form of humble beginnings

I'll show you the confetti, you let me run through the entrance

My intentions was to get a million off my insomnia

The sweeter your dreams, the more you can wake up a monster

Game time with smaller bills to barter

And to play it all depend on the blow like Contra

Wasn't close to the contras, but fuck if we wasn't like first cousins

Word to Del-Roy before they slumped him

And your left hand is beefing 'cause he see it like they hung him

And your right hand believe in who you be so the discussion is done

Word to Lee, the most important link in the square that circles me

Fenced in but these duffels here got further reach, so what could worry me?

Nothing except everything, Medellín wedding rings

No divorce court in the world could ever sever things

Playing "Here Come the Bride" the way the metal sings

[Refrain]

To dig out the layers of what became

I invite you to gather around the flames

Just like up under the pot, one in the same

It sort of feels like eminent domain, for real

I invite you to gather around the flames

Just like up under the pot, one in the same

It sort of feels like eminent domain

[Outro]

Starin' at that money like you wanna talk dirty to it

Jerome was telling the truth, you know

That shit ain't worth the trouble it come with

If you smart, you introduce him to Claudia and get out now

I do that, I get nothing

So, I got a favor to ask

What's up?

The thing is, that was the last of my parents' coke

And my girl really likes it

I ain't never scored blow before

I know a guy, it's my parents' dealer, but

But what?

He's kind of crazy

You mean you afraid to go get it?

So send the Black guy, right?

I'm playin' with you, man

I'll be the Black guy, shit, I'm always the Black guy
