[Intro: Obvi]
Yea
I'm just like…
That oak tree looks so good
Very strong
Breathe in and breathe out
They ask me why I’m breathing
Its like, hell naw - I ain’t leaving
You better give me a reason
I bet you this my season
Even - we get even
I ain’t leaving…
I'm someone else
You probably gone believe in
But
[Verse 1: Obvi]
Freedom isn’t all about the speech
Or a plot for the sheep
To heard the weak
Freedom is thinking with your mind
Not behind someone else preach
Seeing that beauty in the bleak
Letting your minds eye blink
Mother blink
Then you get another drink
Then you’re puking your sins in the sink
Then the room spins
What the fuck did you think ?
Was gonna happen...
Did you think that
You was gonna start rappin’ ?
Then all-a-sudden your cool man
And everybody clapping
Sitting at your crowd, Saying, “damn how?”
And you took the head from the cow
Then you say it ain’t blessed…
You say you gonna die
But, I ain’t afraid of death
I’ma probably go to another land
And, I’ma go ahead and lend with my, hand
Blend in again
And say…
[Hook: Obvi]
Tonight I paint my picture
With shades, of green
Take your bullshit and your past
And in, between
‘Cause who’s to say that me and my team
Can’t live, our dream ?
Here - Here’s my reply..
I’ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I swear to you
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma
I’ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I swear to you
I swear to you
[Reverse speak]
[Verse 2: Obvi]
This underground is beautiful
Look at the dirt I find
Step back from the ledge my friend
Because your third eyes blind
How about a couple drops of this visine ?
What you might start seeings' not sight seeing
Its just a little bit, surprising
When you’re realizing, what do real lies bring ?
So, you better be truth
And let it all go...
You can see the proof
Right here, then poof
And the rabbit out the hat
For the magic, in fact
Every single time that I step up, bat
I’m just trying to come home, again
And all of y’all have been telling me that I’m in
Something else…
[Hook: Obvi]
Tonight I paint my picture
With shades, of green
Take your bullshit and your past
And in, between
‘Cause who’s to say that me and my team
Can’t live, our dream ?
Here - Here’s my reply..
I’ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I swear to you
Ima, Ima, Ima
I’ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I'ma sleep when I die
I swear to you
I swear to you
[Reverse speak]
[Outro: Obvi]
I will tell you right now;
That you’ll have to believe-in the unbelievable
To see something, the unachievable
Understand where you’re coming from;
Until your minds eye blinks a couple of times
And you can’t even think anymore…
And all the sudden
You become something that;
You never thought you could be
Or, never thought it would be
Or, should…
