Might (Not) Be

(preverse)
Take you and make you off
Left you and leave you lost
Will you forgive me?
Asked out well oh my God

[Verse 1]
These palm trees and deciduous leaves
Are hardly indigenously rooted
It's important to note that they're uprooted and imported
The water, the mob the evidence -all imported
The nuclear bombs, the residents -all imported
Unless you was battle born
They stain walls to knock them down
These same walls watch us walk around
Joshua Trees they all falling down
They say what happens in Vegas stays
When actually what happens in Vegas remains
Attacking the brains of every native with every wretched vacation
But we keep praying our faith is extracting these Himalayas from
Mcarron to the Cab they partying hard on the boulevard
Back seat but you hardly a star
Still you careen through my dreams
Like Jupiter, Mars
My nightmare is your cares don't care about ours

[Hook]
So tell them everything that glitters might not be gold
And everything that shivers might not be cold
Everyone that's religious might not be told
That everyone that's a critic might not be wrong(x2)

[Verse 2]
Mother Chilean, father was Venezuelan
They emigrated to Vegas in '80 and had a baby
The baby would have a baby at fifteen
Thirty three years later what's crazy this baby's raising a teen
Ager named her Stacey
It may sound stupid but she named her
After her favourite character in the movie Clueless
Now Stacey ain't no honours student she just average
But still was a I'm gon' go to college student askin'
Now Stacey's BFF is really her cousin
She love her to death, she reppin the west
She ain't from summerlin
One of them and they swear it's the other one
Said we about to be eighteen, Look at them, girl we should go clubbing
So they hit the bathroom, drop that E like a tumblers
Standing right in front of them was a man
Who was the dude that even after they danced he didn't try to start touching her -cool
Three months later he never treated her rude
Yo' cousin a hater just 'cos I'm 32
She just made 'cos that red ain't all under her shoe
Grab the towel headed back to the room straight from the pool
Living with this cool dude he was writing some rhythms
He smiled and watched her glisten and said
"Baby you almost shining, I'm a name you like diamonds, sparkle something that glitters"
She said baby I'm Stacey but baby, baby you trippin'
Flipped her off and then he flipped it explicative
This is pimpin' listen

[Hook]
Everyone if you hear it
Eighty one if you get it
Twenty One if you feel it
Eighty one if you get it
Twenty One if you feel it
Only one if you live it
