Verse:
I started life clear on wrong and right
Saw black and white, such a young pup then
All bark no bite, took awhile before I saw the light's
Not always bright. Sometimes it's Sprite, sometimes it's spiked
It's hard to tell all on First sight. So think Twice
Like an ump on the Third strike
Heard they're calling people Out just to be Safe
But there's no instant replays in real life
Feels like the devil's coming at me with a steel pipe
I picture him disguised as Iron Mike
And they ain't tell me if it's fight or flight? (Do Both!)
Do Both? I guess the brother's right
Get fly and touch the sky like the Brothers Wright
And jab like Winky. Sack of something stinky
Got me built to deal with pain a little better than some others might
But back in the days, I used to never see the grays
So many different shades, Thank the Lord it's just a phase
Hook:
It isn't what it looks like
You think you know
But it isn't what it looks like
No
Repeat
Verse 2:
Set my mind free. Let my mind be flying through space and time
Einstein simply could not imagine. The visions of Alladin
That jump to Chappie James, Flying through my brain
Trying to gain ground, against the Grain now
Went from ABC stores in VA to my man's house
Bout half an hour away, from where we stay
The distance was only 8 miles, but traffic extends the day
..Like lights in a casino such as the Mandalay Bay
And life's a gamble but hey, before the gamble we pray
Pray He guides us in the chances we take, trying to tempt fate
Take destiny on a date with me
Tell opportunity I'll leave the key no need to knock
..Steaming hot pot of spaghetti twisted in knots
For four men that eat in silence as the television watches them
Not long before they're on the clock again
Right back to the grind. Little extra spit shine this time
Work as hard as you play. No work when the music plays
The mood follows the muse
My muse follows no rules
THe most elusive woman I've pursued
Eyes glued to the tube round 2
Eyes Red, news Blue, what's new?
Man I hope the Green gives me sweet dreams
Fore I rise. 6:45. Sounds windy outside
Grabbed a hoodie like Tra, hoodie gray like the day...
With Tra, only thing I can say
These racist almost make me want to Cut My Hair
