COLD OPEN

mama im in a cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean 

my life is like a movie 
and it’s absolutely 
based loosely on Bruce Lee
instead of nunchucks 
i use a single sheet of loose leaf
and i kick a phat beat 
from the mountains to the blue sea 

mama im in a cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean 

i’m like half man half mic 
now hollywood wants the rights to my life 
jokes on them i sold those to the night 

cold open
walking in slow motion

i’ll be remembered like the titans
for writing to enlighten 
i’m so wild at heart 
that my jackets made of python 
i got more phat beats 
than sumo wrestling 
i guarantee go trending
boom boom boom Tarantino ending

mama im in the cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean
