Ritual

Minding my business, tryna die of old age
 It ain't strange, we arrive with no name given
 So vain, John and Alice Coltrane
 Kinda love don't stay, "Kick, Push", Lupe
 Dupré, lose faith, gain heart
 Two face, same marks
 My fate, not yours
 All praise, matriarch
 All day, sit alone
 Couldn't tell the two apart, giving all a nigga got
 Bleeding in a hidden spot
 Need what a nigga forgot, gin, tonic on the rocks
 Spliff with the grabba
 Dismissive, it's behind us
 Been my own rival
 Head up underwater, David Edgar with the goggles
 A 9 like Ronaldo
 Navy been a baller like Carlos Tévez
 Mama, je t'aime, claro
 Only question left is what to do with all the sorrow
 Dorado with the avocado, habichuelas on the arroz
 Do you follow?
 Can't wallow or bellow
 Horse hair on the cello, long notes to the dead rose
 Cornrows, do the shimmy and the zigzag
 All tied up, know karma got the last laugh
 Skin color of an Aztec
 Madness approach, real slower, the snail speed
 Sloth, all hail greed
 Sinbad, seen all seven seas
 By all means, do what you got to do
 It's blue, the true me
 Cluse, reeking of perfume
 To move brief is what I promise to do
 I move these, the desolate monsoon
 That ravage all that was in it's path, another full moon
 In the sky, not a calm ride
 The journey to the tune
 Who am I kidding?
 You could give a man a fish, or you could teach him how to get 'em
 I got rhythm, I got spirit, I got wisdom
 Got kingdom, went last minute another victim
 Fear no man, get with the program
 Southern California sun, my papa was a trojan
 Had to hit the Heisman, Reggie was flying
 Flipping in the endzone, jersey number five, lucky number four
 This is do or die
 Seen it all before, see the torture in my eyes
 Hush puppies with the fish fry
 Jealous niggas watching, they'll say a nigga big time
 My brother ain't like shit, he was staying inside
 I ain't like shit either, I was smoking three-five, in one sitting
 Give a nigga ten minutes, clock ticking
 Runtz with the perfect mixture
 Boy was I addicted
 It's all in the ritual, it's typical to risk it
 It's typical to risk it, boy was I addicted
 It's all in the ritual
