When the music should be the only thing you see
It's the score to a cinematic oddity

Acrobatic, wha, I'll pull something through your chest-piece
Before she came home, pit-stopped breast feed
Watched the movie and smoked a Philly and
Took a hit of ...

Follow your heart and not mankind
For real, for real, I'm 'bout to do my thing to shine
Said everybody shine, c'mon"

Preeld in by Allah that I'm hittin' for y'all

[Verse 1]
And it, and it begins, he walks outside for a cigarette break
And thinks how many cigarettes does it take
He takes a long drag with the sun in his eye
He squints, he thinks he starts to sigh
Sometimes he cry
When he think about his girlfriend on his side
She held him down, she made him better
Fought the love, through the f***ed up weather
And she thinkin about her life

Hasty decisions we may still prevail
Both needed breaks, we both needed to bail
Walking thru the corridors of my mind

Sometimes I phase out when I look at the screen
And I think about my chance for me to intervene

We on a brand new page. "Uh." Millennium days
Desperation on the streets gotta find a new way
Keep the mics and choke holds. The saga unfolds
Machavellian approaches executed by the coach
I'm in these streets like a ghost
The air-jettin' artist
To the love, I hit 'em right plus I hit the hardest, man
I got a whole new approach for the rhymin'
You cherry cats slide, I'm holdin out for the Heism...
