[Verse 1 – Rejjie Snow] Seven years old, I asked Christ and the genie Ten years old, I seen my friend die really Genie in the bottle though it’s Jenny on the block I’m Houdini with the Uzi, holy father, wake me up Time-traveller, that boy, he a star Blowing bubbles in the faces of the people afar ’97 Hov playing, trunk rattled the car Wet lick done licked the gold stars of my heart Golden roses over enemies and sprinkled with serenity Tryna stain the legacy, pray to Allah And fo’ sho’, got you rappers Instagramming your ma With that North Face jacket, blade tucked in my Way, way before the tomb came the womb, no question And out came his black a**, remember, you was yellow with your Black bandana with your fingers all twisted June 19th ’87 in the kitchen The straw that broke the camel’s back, in love with your life Have you ever walked home afraid, alone in the night? Have you ever taken drink inside the loo just in case? Cause the fears of a man just like God in my cape And the rap game crazy but the- came Adam Eve came home feeling fruity and we smashing All of that a** got me feeling real ratchet The chicken came before the egg and way before the atoms Cancelling the shows and making money off of acting Rain, rain pouring like the bezels in my chalice [Hook/Chorus – Jesse Boykins III] Potentially We could build a galaxy This you-and-I-verse could be More than just the dreams of the living I could see the you in me So let’s keep giving to the stars I know that I could take you far Far, far away from here [Bridge 1 – Jesse Boykins III & Joey Bada**] Where we should be You and I-T-Y Where we should be You and I-T-Y Where we should be You and I-T-Y You and me You and I-T-Y, that’s a unity [Verse 2 – Joey Bada**] The man rolls little concrete roads Put your hands together, folks, for the black roach ‘Bout to deliver like stage coach Know I stay posted, my (that was it), yo, what’s the signs? My fountain of youth is all drying, one minute, we all smiling Then poof, we fall silent and I’ve been digging deep For this thing, I ain’t finding this Either I’m insane in my brain or to be honest, that’s Probably what it is Done seen a lot of sh** that you probably can’t live with You probably can’t stomach, you probably can’t ingest At times, we were so hungry, got mad dreams and wishes It’ll all get sunny, but for now it’s this money that Determines and divides, that’s a**uring our lives Even causing homicides on the streets of NY A little shawty asked me what’s my purpose and why? I told him save the children and put them right at the line He said for sure, that’s tight, but for the dollar signs and that Them hella fine dimes with that a** so fat That Phantom and the Maybach, that black MAC that go crick-crack That’s when I say yo, chill, shawty, relax Let me open your mind to the current times If visions is colourblind, it’s fine, your life will still shine as I consume this time he begin to unravel And travel to a place he thought that he would never find, uh [Bridge 2 – Joey Bada**] You and I-T-Y You and I-T-Y, that’s a unity You and I-T-Y You and I-T-Y, that’s a unity [Hook/Chorus – Jesse Boykins III] Potentially We could build a galaxy This you-and-I-verse could be More than just the dreams of the living I could see the you in me So let’s keep giving to the stars I know that I could take you far Far, far away from here [Bridge – Jesse Boykins III] Where we should be Where we should be Where we should be You and me [Outro – Joey Bada**] What do we do?
