[under the influence]

[Intro]
{We Fada wa dey een heaben
Leh ebrybody hona ya nyame
We pray dat soon ya gwine rule oba de
Wasoneba ting ya wahn, Leh um be so een dis wol Same like dey een heaben.
Gii we de food wa we need Dis day yah an ebry day.
Fagibe we fa we sin
Same lik we da fagibe dem people
Wa do bad ta we.
Leh we dihn hab haad test
Weh Satan try we Keep we from ebil.
Amen.}

[Hook]
Uh, I see better with my eyes closed,
In the dark manifestations start to unfold 
I get glimpses of visions of stories untold 
Dreams that left my heart cold- 
Barcode tatted on me,
Imma product of my songs
and my environment 
Or the matrix that I’m enclosed in,
Big brother watching through a fish eyed lens 
Window tints, no fish bowl, 
I get low like limbo, and get high off the endo with freak hoes and weirdos 

[Verse]
Money over b*tches still the M.O.
I don’t f*ck with n*ggas 
All skinfolk ain’t ya kinfolk my negro
Life’s a bitch though, and karma is a nympho
That’ll f*ck you so good I swear she’ll make you curl your toes
Through the peephole i seen faith’ll open doors
I prayed the jakes would get exposed and then by fate my case was closed 
Got out and hit the road ain’t even bring a change of clothes
All I had was my ambition, swagger, and intuition
Made enough bad decisions to last me a good lil minute
Got a pass for my sinning since I was made in his image…
It get deep-deeper than what’s beneath,
Deeper than REM sleep 
It get 6 feet deep-
like deceasedUnder white sheets-no closure or type of peace 
Far as the eye can see it get deep as the sea 
C’est la vie
Who you love, is it me?
Is it fate can it be?
You can’t kill energy
My consciousness, my inner G,
My inner God, my inner me, 
my enemies could never get to me I’m so far outta reach…
In reality a dream is like a stream of consciousness 
Unbeknownst to me I don’t know what to believe-
Uh, anticipating yellow leaves- 
Tis the season, 
One comes another one leaves 
give me a reason not to trust myself 
I need a reason not to trust myself 
I need a reason not to trust myself 

[Hook]
Cuz I see better with my eyes closed,
In the dark manifestations start to unfold 
I get glimpses of visions of stories untold 
Dreams that left my heart cold- 
Barcode tatted on me,
Imma product of my songs
and my environment 
Or the matrix that I’m enclosed in,
Big brother watching through a fish eyed lens 
Window tints, no fish bowl, 
I get low like limbo, and get high off the endo with freak hoes and weirdos

Intro (Eyes Closed)

[Verse]
If I close my eyes I can see the times
where I believed you’re mine
Had me hypnotized
them angel eyes end up being my demise
Still ain’t see the signs
Would probably try again a second time
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me too 
Talk my shit like preachers do
No features just LVDVSNXXP 
Cool dude, loose screws
Bunny ears go thru hoops
I tie my shoes to chase the loot 
Too much on my plate to be chasing you
I don’t play with my food 
I’m playing with a sack tryna make it do what it do
In this life it’s full of ups and downs, like a W
I don’t care if I’m double teamed
Like Kobe in the clutch I’m shooting
Might just shoot my ex a text like 
“hey big head what you doing”
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence
(the influence of you)

[Bridge]
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence (the influence of you),
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence (the influence of you),
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence (the influence of you),
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence (the influence of you),
I’m in over my head, but I’m under the influence (the influence of you)

[Outro]
(I’m under the influence…I’m on real drugs…you know they say love’s a drug)
Love’s a drug, ain’t tryna sober up
F*ck that sh*t pour up 
Daps and hugs as I walk through the club n*ggas know it’s us

Nadirah's Interlude

[Intro]
Happiness ain’t free
Love don’t come cheap
For what it’s worth my pain is currency
One day you’ll see,
Happiness ain’t free
Love don’t come cheap
For what it’s worth my pain is currency
One day you’ll see…
At night I close my eyes no intentions of getting sleep
If it cost me peace of mind I can’t afford to pay that fee

[Verse]
I spend money on time,
watching the sunrise in the east 
Eluding my demise
it’s like the whole world against me 
My stomach empty cuz I been fasting 
Life been moving faster 
Don’t know what I’m after 
Pray it ain’t before disaster
Pray that I become a master before I reach my final chapter
And the last page of my story reads happily ever after 
They say mind over matter 
Voices in my head I’m trying to drown out all the chatter 
Choices in my bed, 2 on 1, I like a challenge 
Life’s all about balance-
Yin & yang,
Highs and lows, 
P’s and Q’s stay on my toes 
like a Michael Jackson pose
Sensory overload from weighing out the cons and pros

[Hook]
Happiness ain’t free
Love don’t come cheap
For what it’s worth my pain is currency
One day you’ll see,
Happiness ain’t free
Love don’t come cheap
For what it’s worth my pain is currency
One day you’ll see

Currency

[Intro]
(Aye, uh)
(she saw potential in me before I knew what was possible for me)
(Aye, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh) 

[Hook]
She saw potential in me before I knew what was possible for me
I had my ear to the street with my d*ck in the dirt-
I had just got released 
Whole lotta love in my heart but no love for the law 
Screaming f*ck the police (f*ck em)
Stuff a whole nug in the raw,
The cat ain’t got claws but I’m making it screech

[Verse]
My shooter’ll cut off the genes to yo family tree 
Turn yo ass to capris 
I was just baggin’ the leaf tryna count up at least 10 stacks at least 
My back was against the wall I ain’t have no choice but to stand up straight 
Praying on your downfall like cutting my nose to spite my face (for real)
The f*ck I look like hating?
B*tch, my karma just got straight
The f*ck I look like waiting?
If I don’t go get it it don’t get made 
Dropped outta school, it ain’t teach me sh*t 
Learned not to trust the government
Lord knows I had to bust a couple clips, sh*t, 
I ain’t go through hell for the f*ck of it 

[Hook]
She saw potential in me before I knew what was possible for me
I had my ear to the street with my d*ck in the dirt-
I had just got released 
Whole lotta love in my heart,
but no love for the law 
Screaming f*ck the police (f*ck em) 
Stuff a whole nug in the raw,
The cat ain’t got claws 
but I’m making it screech!

She! (Screech)

[Intro]
{The black man has been brainwashed and it’s time for him to learn something about himself.}

[Verses] 
Blood of kings running through my veins
Blood on the leaves-
White supremacy tried to wipe the history of my ancestors reign
Manifested pain from being given my oppressor’s name
Can’t be ashamed of the trauma stored in my DNA that was
Passed down from generations 
They wanna see us in slave chains I pray for vindication
If it wasn’t for the slave trade their wouldn’t be no patriots- 
I ain’t talking Tom Brady
I find it crazy how they tell us Jews were God’s favorites
Didn’t they forget to mention that the Jews had dark faces? 
Thoughts racing in this mind given to me by God
It’s hard to leave the past behind when all I see are scars
[“The so-called negro”]
The alienated, melanated, product of the stars 
[“The so-called negro”]
Might as well say that we aliens from the planet mars
[“The so-called negro”]
Make up most of the population behind bars
It can’t be God’s design, if the design’s flawed
But as the story goes (as it goes)

[Bridge]
God don’t make no mistakes, if you know you know (if you know you know)
God don’t make no mistakes, if you know you know (if you know you know)
God don’t make no mistakes, if you know you know (if you know you know)
God don’t make no mistakes, if you know you know (if you know you know)
(Blood of kings running through my veins
Blood on the leaves-
White supremacy tried to wipe the history of my ancestors reign
Manifested pain from being given my oppressor’s name
Can’t be ashamed of the trauma stored in my DNA)

[Outro]
{Everyday you gotta headache with this negro that has been brainwashed by your time. So now it’s our job to re-brainwash him, to teach him that rich dirt is black dirt. Don’t feel bad.}

Blood o' Kings

[Intro]
{First of all…I would like to thank the many, many, fans throughout this country that wrote cards and letters to Dusty Rhodes the American Dream when I was down.}

[Verse]
Uh, yeah, I needed times like these to show me who I really am
Times like these to turn a boy into a man
Trying to find peace living lawless on the lam 
American dreams being sold
I know a scam when I see it
Damn, I’m a genius
I’m a different breed 
I’m a whole ‘nother genus 
On the bright side where the grass is always greenest
You can find me how the mind was designed to find a meaning
I woke up still dreaming (damn)
Still conscious even when I’m sleeping
My subconscious constantly scheming
Trying to find a reason not to make a deal with my demons
So I don’t have to deal with my demons
I-I-I just played the hand I’m dealt
I could never play myself
Always play for keeps
Don’t be cheap and spread the wealth
Cuz giving to your people just like giving to yourself
And life don’t get a sequel when you breathe that last breath
Word to the wise
Love and learn to survive
Learn to swallow your pride and watch how God’ll provide
Search and you’ll find
Sometimes it might hurt to shine
Don’t mind the curse of the blind if they can’t see what’s beyond

[Outro]
I’m gonna reach out right now…I want you at home to know. My hand is touching your hand, for this scheduling, of the biggest body of people, in this country, in this universe, all over the world now, reaching out. Because the love that was given me. And this time, I will repay you now. Because I will be the next world’s heavyweight champion of this hard time blues!

Times Like These

[Intro]
{And even if I get in trouble, know what I’m saying, ain’t that what we’re supposed to do? I’m not saying I’m gonna rule the world, or I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the-the brain that will change the world.}

[Verse]
Jumped off the slave ship to a spaceship 
From motherboard to overboard this wasn’t in the script 
Rewrote the storyboard they wanna hang me for it 
Like an umbilical chord they wanna cut my life force-
Life’s a b*tch, she can be an eye sore 
Or a sight for sore eyes depending on how you cry for her 
6’3 but my problems 5’4 I see over all the bullsh*t and the cow manure 
This a spiritual war we living in and everyday’s a battle 
Lord knows I’ll sin again, pray I don’t miss the rapture 
Before I’m captured by the hands of another master, I slit my wrist w confidence- no consequences after 
Death before dishonor your honor that’s how how we living 
F*ck making a living, sh*t, I’m tryna make a killing
Said fuck being the hero, I’d rather die a villain… 
Good guys always finish last is what they say
I know God’s grace ain’t so passive when I pray 
I control my thoughts so I’m the master of my fate
I attract, I don’t chase still the hunter never the pray
Over a hundred thousand ways to make a hundred K, 
And over a million ways to blow it all away 
Donations to my safe in case of rainy days
Invested in myself cuz that’s the safest way (for real) 
Sometimes that sh*t give me chills thinking about how meaningless life really is it’s beautiful in a sense but it ain’t what it appears to be
till you have that epiphany then you’ll see
(Then you’ll see)
(Then you’ll see)
(till you have that epiphany then you’ll see)
beautiful in a sense but it ain’t what it appears to be spiritually 
till you have that epiphany then you’ll see
Then you’ll see 
Then you’ll see
Then you’ll see
Then you’ll see

[Outro]
{Look I want when they see me they know that everyday when I’m breathing it’s for us to go further. Every time I speak, it’s for the truth to come out.}

Life Force

[Verse]
“Lada…snoop”
Uh,
Never let ‘em know how smart you really are always make sure they know how dumb you really aren’t 
Black and red hoes with me, 
Will Smith’s aunts (Aunt Viv) 
Had to switch the flow, n*gga,
Brand new carpet-
Starving artist-
Feed me beats
Life’s short like Carlton
So Imma do me
A good D is the best offense, no 2-3,
Leave the pussy in a coffin, 
Six feet deep, uh,
Keep my nose and my hands clean like a germaphobe 
Really though, I don’t f*ck with n*ggas,
Imma homohobe 
Corn rows braided to the back
finna set it off
All odds against me, n*gga, Imma bet it all 
Let the confetti fall 
We the champions 
Baby I’m really him 
These niggas stand-ins 
So misunderstood but that’s the reason I’m still standing 
Money on the wood is always good I never panic-
4-5-6 my wrist don’t miss 
Both my bitches like to kiss 
Life of sin I’m living in, every chance I get I try to repent

Outro (Never Let'em Know)

[Intro]
I felt in my heart, like I just felt the rage, like a fire -the redness, building up in me like, I’m about to do something to this n*gga. Like, I’m about to do something to him, he won’t even know what the f*ck coming. Like, he won’t even know what the f*ck to do…”

[Hook]
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Over a b*tch I been through more sh*t than a piece of corn
Say I broke your heart-
I ain’t mean to lead you on
All I did was f*ck you good, I ain’t see the harm

[Verse]
Bittersweet memories keep me eluding sleep
They say love is war, 
f*ck that sh*t I’m choosing peace
Truthfully the only ones that know the truth is you and me, and G-O-D
But who is he to you?
Without transparency it’s hard to see it through
Not good at taking clues,
I’d rather take some shrooms beneath the moon
and curl up in the womb 
of Mother Earth
I wouldn’t wish this hurt, not even on my worst enemy
-considering that they ain’t wish it on me first

[Hook]
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Over a b*tch I been through more sh*t than a piece of corn
Say I broke your heart-
I ain’t mean to lead you on
All I did was f*ck you good, I ain’t see the harm

[Outro]
Like, I was thinking about every which way to f*ck you up. 
I said oh he’s-he’s having a dream right now? 
He’s about to wake up in hell…and that’s exactly what you did.

Hell Hath No Fury

[Intro]
{It has been woven into many of other wondrous and baffling things…
But it is of knowledge of self and the universe…before you can get to be G-O-D, you first must become M-A-N…that is not male only…as I mention we are talking about nature}

[Hook] 
E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y (eternity)
Trying to figure out who we are outside you and I
The moon and stars tell who we are 
so how can I not-
Believe that we are movie stars and this is the plot?
(This is the plot)

E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y (eternity)
Trying to figure out who we are outside you and I
The moon and stars tell who we are 
so how can I not-
Believe that we are movie stars and this is the plot?
(This is the plot)

[Verse] 
Believe it or not I seen it through my third eye
It’s hard to pay attention when they buy the lies they heard about you
No way you can listen, when you trying to get a word out-
Got real world problems
I’ll let you do the math like word problems
(Word problems)
Pray for my haters 
I hope they don’t suffer unless they watching me prosper 
I’m at the neck like a shirt collar
My first dollar 
got spent faster than I made it
My first time thumbing through a spread I swear it felt contagious (I swear)
Never let the money make me,
Or fix me, or break me
Drive her crazy, Miss Daisy- 
Make her miss me, or hate me
Pulling petals off the roses like “she love, she love me not”
This heartbeat ain’t my own it came from God so it won’t ever stop

[Hook]
E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y (eternity)
Trying to figure out who we are outside you and I
The moon and stars tell who we are 
so how can I not-
Believe that we are movie stars and this is the plot?
(This is the plot)

E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y (eternity)
Trying to figure out who we are outside you and I
The moon and stars tell who we are 
so how can I not-
Believe that we are movie stars and this is the plot?
(This is the plot)

[Bridge]
This is the plot
(This is the plot)
This is the plot
(This is the plot)
This is the plot
(Believe it or not)
This is the plot
(Believe it or not)

[Verse II]
Believe it or not,
I don’t know if I’m dreaming or not
I ain’t been sleeping a lot 
These n*ggas be creeping I keep me a knot
Know that boy just want my spot
It ain’t no secret I been peeped the plot 
E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y
The power of ‘I’ got me closer to God..
(My head in the clouds, 
I don’t know when I’m coming down
I was just looking around now I look down like look at me now…
My head in the clouds, 
I don’t know when I’m coming down
I was just looking around now I look down like look at me now)

[Outro]
{Master, able, noble, is the meaning of M-A-N- man.}

E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y

[Intro]
Politics, politics, politics
(I’m tired of all these f*cking politics man)
Politics, politics, polit-t-t-t-t-t

[Verse]
(Uh, Lada)
Politics, politics, politics
If it ain’t about a b*tch then it’s a dollar in the mix (you dig)
Politics, politics, politics
Weaponized religious scripts justified ships
Politics, politics, politics
N*ggas ain’t a monolith we just don’t know we gods gift
Politics, politics, politics
Black soil, blacklist, tell ‘em suck my black d*ck…
It ain’t black magic
The fact of the matter is
Matter is what happens when
Light interacts with consciousness
Seen a bunch of sh*t 
Did a bunch of sh*t
Made something outta nothing,
something like a hieroglyph
I’m outta here, I’m on a wave
Something like a pirate ship
My eyes and ears- 
never steer me wrong
I been here before, 
when in Rome, do what the Roman’s do-
f*ck it, seize the throne
C’est la vie 
They might say it’s me
When they the ones who wrong
I ain’t trippin’ 
I might let ‘em kick it, 
Call it politicking
Middle finger with the index finger to the sky like Nixon

Politics 3X

[Intro]
{They charged Jesus with sedition…they say he was against Caesar}

[Verse]
Uh,
This savior complex might be the death of me 
I fall on my sword just so you can have what’s left of me 
Self sabotage and ecstasy hell of a recipe 
Stress relief weed to help me sleep without you next to me
I’m carefully watering the seeds that I sowed 
I intend to reap everything I’m owed sevenfold (will come back to me)
Turned yo back on me 
That hurt my soul 
Its what it had to be 
A prophecy fulfilled in a world that’s kill or be killed
N*ggas be so broke they think money make you real 
N*ggas think they woke til they choke on sleeping pills 
Sink swim or float, sh*t,
I bet I grow some gills 
Shawty Imma swimmer
this is the life of a sinner, for real 

[Outro]
{They put Moses in jail…they put Daniel in jail…why you haven’t got a man of God in the Bible that wasn’t put to jail when they started speaking out about exploitation and oppression.}
