[Intro: The Neverending Story Sample]

Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him

Would sink into the swamp

Hi

And the same time, elsewhere in fantasia

A creature of darkness also began his quest

[Verse]

Magnified scripture ginger & lime my elixir

Gave up weed, pussy, liquor

I broke up with my bitch, regret the shit I promise I miss her

I took a flight on Valentine’s & cooked her pasta for dinner

Forgive me God, I’m a sinner

I shoulda blown up 7 times already

I mean sure I got some accolades but what’s potential when it’s not recognized in its fullest scope?

Told myself some stories I couldn’t cope

My nigga said you wake up every morning & make money off ya fans you coulda been out here with the homies selling dope

This 3bed 3bath with the Benz outside

I used to catch the metro

Mamma cooked up pork chops & pesto

I wrote the shit in Searching Sylvan had the underground reacting petro

Took a leap & told myself to let go

Slept on floors when all ya legends signed they life away & played the short route

I brought the Porsche out

Rental for the weekend had my niggas geeking

The bitch told me you should be up there with Cole & Kendrick

Yea, me & every other conscious nigga spitting baby what’s the difference?

I used to dream about it

So much so a nigga schemed around it

The Roc was dished I passed it off like sub me in, I sought the dream & found it

Nothings ever what it seems I learned the lesson twice, was still astounded

Don’t be so hard on ya self

You the truth plus you got God on yo side

Dust yourself & decide

I swear when underrated come up on my name I get to shaking my head

But fuck it

My arrogance was still quiet - a mental riot

I played the humble card cause my sense of self was a tyrant, I’m better

Than everybody the water was in the hydrant

I was gassed up, had to think outside of myself

Like that talent make you entitled fuck the pride in yourself

Chronicles of my subconscious findings

Tear jerker like the Birch of Simon

Mountains I was climbing took me to heights I was too afraid of flying

There go the sirens

Water in my lungs, Dr. Sebi on my list of fruits & vegetables

Sabotaging tendencies healing wasn’t just medical

These programs, had a broham, roller coasting

Dragging my feet, like a slow jam. Mmm

A drink a gallon a day

So many tragedies I’m numb to all the foulest of ways

Let’s hit the strip & get some gals in the wraith

I’m peace & love for the most part but my goon’s’ll put the pound to ya face

Like we’ll take what's under ya gown & ya waste

I come around for the sake

Of holding it down for all of my homies abroad

I’m known it for it all, grace & love, hold ya applause

My coldest of flaws

I took a look & had to dissolve

But I ain’t perfect

I’ll fuck up again

But I’m worth it

Talk to the most high & dodge the serpent

But don’t kill ya self, mistakes teach you lessons, remain in service

[Outro: The Neverending Story Sample, Sun Ra]

Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him

Would sink into the swamp

It's the music of the earth

The music of the sun, and the stars

The music of yourself, vibrating

Yes, you’re music too

You’re all instruments

Everyone's supposed to be playing their part

In this vast arkestry of the cosmos
