Half As Long // Twice As Bright

[J Roc]
Reaching for the stars, we'll catch 'em all with a skynet
Terminator, always on top, numerator
Y'all don't feel me, subterranean genius, they say break a leg
I get on stage and become a paraplegic
Little light of mine, vibrant
Everything is in alignment
Looping Orion through Levi's jeans, we are shining -

[E-Fav]
- like the pages of a rap book starring a rising icon
Glare (glow), Orion, ass grip with my sight on
Bitch slap you with my palm, thinking this pistol ain't on
Mama don't be alarmed, thinking your son's Akon

[Ilajide]
Jihad, this the a-bomb, more spirit than séance
I do it for my Mama when she told me bout my J gone
Distorted out of sorts have to box us up like crayons
Reflect the shine, Ray-Ban, you're drying out like raisin

[Hook]
We shining half as long, twice as bright tonight
We shining half as long, twice as bright tonight
So put a fist in the air Huey Newton the fight
It's CSF in this bitch, and we're rocking it right
We rock on and on an on and on
On and on and on and on (x3)

[E-Fav]
Baby we shining, we own it
Live for the moment, inhale in the smoke
And driftin' into a coma, this the potentous
Dopest since the Tribe CQ, coming soon
Nigga blazing through a speaker near you, spit that triple haiku
Why you act fool, we are dope times two

[Ilajide]
Typhoon with a spoon, what we're cooking in the room
Is incredible, immeasurable, by any volume
Here we go, catching my shit is velociraptic
Attack it and now it's whipping them to five star splashing
Mama I know you gasp 'em but you gotta know what got 'em
We common denom' 'em when rhymin', we got ‘em on the bottom and rot 'em

[J Roc]
If you gon' read our palms, do it with Ray-Bans on
Future bright as a quasar
What you need know, we in a time crisis of dreams
Nigga reload, shoot it outside of the screen
Only fall asleep to beats, take this instrumental Ambien
Gun play ambience, surround sound ambulance
The story of the city, watch our plot reload
Peep my body at work, gold like 3PO
Everything I compose is full of gold
The 14 carat sonnet, go ahead, pawn it out

[Hook]

[Laz]
I shine brighter, make them squint at the writer
My heart beat to a beat, you can't beat what's inside it
Keep an ear to the street, you can hear when I'm rhyming
That my mind like a mine I got to blow to remind them
People shot the kid, turn his life into something
It's like my Mom and Dad fuckin', how I grew up from nothing
It's nothing, so when I'm pushing the bucket
Cause the city and a deck can make a nigga some ducats
Cash rules everything around me
CREAM, get the money, now these groupies all surround me
Now I gotta question why you even ask about me
When I'm out in public, know you niggas tryna gas me
See, I put my heart and soul in people that I'm fucking with
Fuck 'em then, feeling like I'm selling to the celibate
Settling (never), to the top we gonna see
You can catch a tan cause you know we gonna be

[Hook]
