My god
We breaking down, it's a malfunction
(yeah)
My god
We going down, it's a malfunction
[bridge]
Open participation
Whole crew been on the come up
Run til your muscles straining
Run til you not the run-up
[verse]
I've been in the hostels, Living off possum
Sickness and pollen, Getting up in my pathways
Pa** me the ashtray, Always wake up late
Seeing my twists splayed
Haven't taken care of the curl pattern
All my visions curled, Either seeing fractals
Or fashion, following tracers
Pa**ion, following anger
To see if their real respect come with salvation
The whole IRS making moms paying fines
When my father ain't alive
Guess that money comes before sacrifice
I've been four since I seen what the vice like
I'm cautious of lime life
Just know that I rhyme right, I'm good
I'm feeling we all the same
But knowing that's still insane
Cause if you give them free range
They'd target me in the hood
(I swear)

I've been out here searching for the peace
They just wanna serve me with the piece out
Know they seeing why we getting militant
The internet exposing all the evils that we sleep 'round
Sirens permeating all the barriers
Drive us to hysterics
You don't even need to travel to a psych ward
See them k** our brothers and we pay for it
Look into the mirror, asking what I fight for?
Would I lay for it?
Die for a future of embetterment
But I been entitled from my heaven sent
And it's like a sentence in this life
Push my pen at night
See Ka-Blam! we living Nick at Nite
Just a different fight
Healing in the scripture we can write, like

We breaking down, it's a malfunction
