Metropolis

Let me tell y'all what this must be
 A couple keys wrapped under the Christmas tree
 A few panhandlin', black Mandarins
 One off of Candler and the others off of Campbellton, uh
 Eye level, they wanna see us
 But it's hard to chop a sequoia to a tree stump with a butter knife
 That shit would take an eon
 I was ridin' down E. Ponce de Leon with my nigga Keyon
 Seen a fly girl in some Yves Saint Laurent's
 I was like "Ooh, girl, you Beyoncé? You could be my fiancé"
 What's your name? She said Dion
 Cool, that's unisex, I'm thinkin' how I can get me and you to sex
 Lil' jokey-joke, Jiddy J.I.D, Marty Mar
 Never had an Audemar and never drove a foreign car
 I'm just a gifted ass Georgia boy
 It's a difference between gifts and talent, so peep the balance
 Nigga been workin' until his hand get calluses
 Tryna eat somethin' fatter than DJ Khaled is
 Mind scrabble, dibble dabble, slam the gavel
 Long travel roads, fuckin' hoes
 Probably won't get on til I'm fucking old
 ♪
 I ripped the teeth out from under your brain, these drums is insane
 I'm out of my space-time continuum frame
 And I had to throw my hands up, rock your head like the ninja
 You couldn't fit on this if it was wide as the Pacific
 I'm tired of tusslin' with ya', I'm tired of bussin' with ya'
 Dawg, it's been nuts since we was taking little rusty pictures
 Fuck you niggas, step on, step on up
 Take yo' ass right back to school, now with a million paper cuts
 Wake the dead up out their sleep, y'all with a message I don't mess
 As I'm caught up in the embrace of her dreamy labias
 And them freaky flow of patterns cheerin' and clappin' at us
 Really, we've yet to act up
 And we strapped up, high like NASA, so I suggest you back up
 If I fell out of my head, suspended in the lap of a real goddess
 She look down while canoein' through that silver linin'
 Would you still try me?
 With that safety on, darlin', would you still eye me?
 Feel like the type to loan pearls out, interest steady climbing
 Hi, Miss, you gon' have to rotate now, I miss steady shining
 Guess I hit the game like Kanye had did
 Heads up, woulda been clutch, right?
 Really tryin', God, not to miss my window
 Blind sniper in the dark of the night
 Back spasms for the nights you napped on
 Back crackin', black boner all up in her backbone
 Stop actin', shed that skin, pop the capsule
 Leave your body back home
 Then Bankhead Bounce to the other side of life, I get my naps on
 Bear that shit
 My skin's a target, hard to compare that shit
 If it look good on you, then they gon' hate than a bitch
 Wear that shit, rule of thumb
 Cowards scared as fuck to do what ain't been done
 I'm just scared as fuck to show up to God with the "I ain't done"
 Look on my face, I ain't one to run in place
 And try and not to pull a Drac' 'cause it's my first time in here
 Really caught me at the fuckin' worst time in here
 West Side, so you know it's hearse time in here
 So don't you dare act like we never been here before
 In yo' principal office, been suspended before
 Put some acid on your tongue, I recommended it, bro
 Earth, wind, fire, air bendin' these hoes
 And don't you dare act like we never been here before
 Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
 Probably the same place where my memories go
 To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though
 From the land of red clay and lottery worship
 Where all of these murders is definitely probably on purpose
 And all the colicky children getting put out of the churches
 The preacher mean-muggin' your mama like, "Swallow ya' words, bitch!"
 What makes a prodigy worthless?
 How 'bout taking a shitty job 'cause economy hurtin'?
 When you see the face of God, you ain't gotta be nervous
 Especially if in your life you tried to follow your purpose
 You could've been a serial killer with the coolest symbol
 Three razor cuts in the forehead of the fifth victim
 Illuminati, numerology, triangular prism
 Pendulum swingin', maybe later I'll be bangin' some bitches
 Ain't gotta explain to you niggas, we all know danger's appealin'
 We all know pain's the realest way to try to say what you feelin'
 It's amazin', got malaise from my illness
 And that's a double entendre, but I don't expect y'all to feel this
 Not from the dreamy bohemian or the loopiest nubian
 Got the gluteus maximus? Then we makin' a movie
 Doctur D's the definition of a perfect lunatic
 That means I'll probably fuckin' lose it if I catch the moon a bit
 Ben Hill, southwest, where my fuckin' goonies live
 They all'a murk you for my baby brother if you fool with him
 And I'm the lamest nigga in the squad and I'm like Superman
 So it probably would behoove you to try to and be cool with them
 My umbilical was cut by the horses bite
 'Cause I was born in a manger on the darkest night
 I was born in the danger, I was forced to fight
 Forced to learn the Force before the night that Obi-Wan could die
 A lot of dilated eyes claim to see the light
 But all they ever see is seeds and saplings die
 So who's the victim, look inside
 Ight
 And don't you dare act like we never been here before
 Red carpet on my toes, red Haans on the Coal
 And you can stare like a nigga never been here before
 We'll be wringin' out your soul when the feeling gets old
 So don't you dare act like we never been here before
 In yo' principal office, been suspended before
 Put some acid on your tongue, I recommended it, bro
 Earth, wind, fire, air bendin' these hoes
 And don't you dare act like we never been here before
 Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
 Probably the same place where my memories go
 To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though
 And don't you dare act like we never been here before
 Mama watched me, wondered where the fuck my energy go
 Probably the same place where my memories go
 To infinity, bro, you ain't feelin' me though
