[00:00.701]In the dark shadows of history
[00:03.740]Lie legends of lost civilizations
[00:07.817]Whose kings ruled with, the power of gods
[00:12.353]Only to crumble into the dust of time
[00:16.011]
[00:27.366]I just be asking for some toll, I don't choose friends
[00:30.149]So attached to niggas' growth, it be loose ends
[00:33.182]Challenging for most when the truths in
[00:35.436]I had to battle with them goals, groove sins
[00:38.699]Balance what I know and this new trend
[00:40.961]Of niggas flattered with results
[00:43.720]It only matter when it's close, he too pressed
[00:46.479]Watch his battery explode, BOOM
[00:49.238]Guess it had to be the bro', be you next
[00:51.749]Regret laughing 'til I sulked to subdue stress
[00:54.509]I dreamt having me a home, I soon rest
[00:57.270]The moon glad to be alone (All by myself)
[00:59.779]The truth gradually exposed, it rules best
[01:02.578]It's new factors in control so it's new tests
[01:05.586]Too tapped in to the road, I ain't blew yet
[01:08.095]Was too passive to emote, tryn' prove strength
[01:10.856]It do damage to your soul, my shoes bled
[01:13.616]A few travel with the post but a few dead
[01:16.128]Few cackled at my lows, they in huge debt
[01:19.177]Them shackles getting broke
[01:20.173]
[01:21.679]I got nothing to say about these things I write
[01:23.436]I mean, I just write 'em, I don't have to say anything about 'em
[01:25.800]I don't write for any reason, there's no great message
[01:29.155]I mean, if you want to tell other people that, go ahead and tell 'em
[01:31.484]
[01:32.478]It's the critics' biggest critic
[01:34.239]Of course I'm cynical, how you a cynic if you never did it?
[01:37.774]The symptoms of cynicism right when I was in a rhythm
[01:41.349]Tried to kick him, I tried to listen
[01:43.356]It just ****ed with my intentions
[01:45.867]****ed up my attention, I should just shut up, I'm venting
[01:49.205](Sorry, just venting) But did I mention?
[01:51.506]Just with my pen, my presence
[01:54.014]Ain't no limit to what I could do
[01:56.053]Where I could get, but I admit I was confused
[01:58.832]Was the success, I wasn't convinced
[02:01.609]Not yet, never thought I would miss
[02:04.124]But I did, but I smoked so many spliffs
[02:07.638]Nah, I never miss any hit
[02:09.650]The missus is drenched, in some shit that is French
[02:12.416]Some friends always got fresh, got him a stench
[02:15.189]I got one too, my boo like mine the best
[02:17.698]She said, "When you win?" I been been, she tend to forget
[02:20.960]I been in the stand, she been a ten since we met
[02:24.250]And since then, I've been obsessed
[02:26.350]She was aware I was depressed
[02:28.603]So we said should see a therapist, to where I went instead
[02:32.368]Just copped a new pair of kicks
[02:34.406]A lil' dope, not heroin
[02:36.224]Heralded as a new hope, act like I don't care a bit
[02:39.545]As long as I have an old friend I can share it with
[02:41.553]
[02:44.622]I would start out, I would know what I wanted to say
[02:47.161]Before I wrote the song and I would say it, you know
[02:49.430]It never really would come out exactly the, the way
[02:52.494]The way I thought it would
[02:54.313]What came up, you know, I touched it, you know
[02:57.387]But now, I just write a song, you know
[03:00.210]Like I know that it's just gonna be alright, you know
[03:03.222]And I don't really know exactly what it's all about
[03:05.733]But I do know the, uh, the minutes
[03:09.072]And the layers of, uh, what it's all about
