[Intro]
Ever since then… Numb! No feelings like my heart was shot full of novocaine
[Chorus]
I need novocaine, novocaine
‘Cause I don't really feel this place
I don't wanna feel my face
I just wanna taste that
Novocaine, novocaine
I look around at all this sh** I can't change
And I can't take this pain
I need that
Novocaine, novocaine
Born as a slave in the middle of the war
Living in a game and I don't wanna play no more
I need novocaine, novocaine
Feeling like everything way too fake
Get the f** out my face, give me space
We stuck in a maze
I need novocaine, novocaine
You act like it's safe ‘cause you wack that's a waste
Matter fact I'm getting madder every day
Call me black and insane
I need novocaine, novocaine
Living in the past a mistake
In the wake of disaster I laugh in the rain
Let it splash me away
I need novocaine, novocaine
[Verse]
I got a list of sh** I can't wait to try
And I'ma try em all I'ma take my time
I need novocaine for my soul and mind
I open wide, I hope I won't survive to live my life alone
So I show the light behind the microphone and I recite the quotes
Free fall but I'm supposed to fly home
I know, I know, I know, I know the road is quite long
But I'm devoted tryna find my focus and defy the vultures
Tryna fight the culture ‘cause it's stifling
We in the same boat 99% so why should I commit
To school and rules tryna tie me in
And hold me back
We grown way too attached to Ma**a
But it's half the battle
We attack ourselves
I'm running my mouth ‘til my shackles melt
We all trapped in hell but we distracted
Rather hit a dab than get active
Rather pop a xan and relax
Man that's exactly what the Man wants
Now he both his hands on our throat
Telling us to vote
Tellings us to fight for the flag
While the cops put little black bodies in the bag to distract
While the privacy attacked
The policy is wack
Call it comedy and laugh
‘Cause the prophecy in tact
Ain't no property to tax in my head
I'm free
They can't read my mind but they receive my rhyme on beat
I'ma stand on my word ‘til I die on my feet
This a diary allow me to read it out loud
I'ma king
I'ma sing
I need novocaine
I need novocaine
I'm sick of all of this sh** I was born contagious
So I'm motivated
Here goes the train of my thoughts right off the cliff
‘Course I made it
My music like a self-portrait painted
I ignore the danger and explore the layers of a normal day
But I need my novocaine
I wait for the pouring rain
But it's sorta late
I might throw it all away
I talk to myself, get my story straight
I need novocaine, no delay
I know you want a taste
So I close my eyes and I pray to God my soul to take
[Chorus]
I need novocaine, novocaine
‘Cause I don't really feel this place
I don't wanna feel my face
I just wanna taste that
Novocaine, novocaine
I look around at all this sh** I can't change
And I can't take this pain
I need that
Novocaine, novocaine
Born as a slave in the middle of the war
Living in a game and I don't wanna play no more
I need novocaine, novocaine
Feeling like everything way too fake
Get the f** out my face, give me space
We stuck in a maze
I need novocaine, novocaine
You act like it's safe ‘cause you wack that's a waste
Matter fact I'm getting madder every day
Call me black and insane
I need novocaine, novocaine
Living in the past a mistake
In the wake of disaster I laugh in the rain
Let it splash me away
I need novocaine, novocaine
