Detroit

(Intro by Alan Watts)

"Time is a social institution and not a physical reality. There is in other words, there is no such thing as "time" in the natural world. The world of stars and waters and mountains and clouds and living organisms. There is a such a thing as rhythm. But time as such is a social institution. All those things are social institutions or conventions. The word convention from the Latin 'convenire' 'to come together' 'to agree about something' 'to hold a convention' and thus of course in it's deteriorated sense, when we say something is purely conventional, then we need to be taking it seriously."

[Verse 1]

Man, man, man, man
Why we gotta care about an image?
Why you hating homie, 'cause I'm full of fancy pigment?
Yeah, that melanin? Boy, it got you niggas trippin'

I was on the West of Brooklyn
Tryna' equip the chicken to my pocket space
Because a lot of you niggas occupying space
Saying a lot of shit, bragging about the dumbest shit

Black folks is dying, and increasing by the numbers
Shit, I wouldn't know what to do
If they tried to get my brother hit
'Cause bible bro, I'd let the shotty blow

Or the Rugar blast
But I ain't doing that
Man, I got to give this love a chance
It's the only thing I need upon this planet

And I've been searching through myself and these ladies
To raise my future grand-babies

[Pre Chorus]

So if you, got to sex, on your crush or your bae
Wouldn't you like that? Wouldn't you like that?
So if you, had the chance, that them lives didn't have
Then wouldn't you fight back? Wouldn't you fight back?

Awh, y'all niggas not listening because

[Chorus]
Ain't shit changed, but the Cartier frames
My goons rollin'
Pints & 40's
Backwoods of cookie, with the windows open

We straight smokin'
We straight smokin'
Backwoods of cookie, with the windows open 2x

[Outro]
