[Verse 1: Sundown]
It's like
I exist, I'm the phoenix
Whole squad put on alert but that's super analytical
Genius brainwave touching telekynesis
Oh I can't wait to unravel all my DNA strands in one hand
Just to show 'em what I'm made of
Deoxy-ribonucleic gene pieces
Stitch 'em up, stick the clutch
Switch the gears when I'm picking up
'Cause my drive is in overdrive
Fahrenheit 4-5-1 over the drums
Terabyte drives of lyrics out of my lungs
Database breathe
Play it low budget with these aces in my sleeve
Poker playing with the joker
Motorola StarTAC holder
You better hit the celly
Son I told you we would come back to show the more heavy shit
And that's it!
(Aiming for the stars and I need to exist)
[Verse 2: Enigma]
Is the existence of life... nothing but a random event?
Just running town with that leaf that blows in the wind
Understand me no man can plan or predict
Or just plan or prevent, but to an extent
I must, channel this animal handle my biz
I got that antidote to plan a defense, it makes sense and I
(Aiming for the stars and I need to exist)
In the same breath as
In the same space where that pain was left at
I'm not that same cat
In fact, that passion's now rearranged black
Ops tactics back at it running the same map
Gunning for that man one hunnid grand
I'm san pragmatic the way we had 'em madagasping for air
Asthmatic someone go grab that man his apparatus
Breathe!
(Aiming for the stars and I need to exist)
[Verse 3: Sundown]
I exist like the sun and phoenix
They try to summon demons to give you a chill but I heat it no
Better yet I eat so I metabolize the rap demise
Aftermath gave a rap divide
And my appetite was large and these acolyte types just don't do it for me
Shitting out rap chains and digging out a rap grave
Then backing that hearse that I was mentioning the other day
Well that's a tie-in line to make you listen to another line
And come back to understand this line in due time
The ties that bind give him a knot to tie
Tighter than dreadlocks
Deadstock Nikes in a box in my closet for the fresh dressed
88 P Wing goose-down vest staying official
I'm not a Lo head but man c'mon... I'm just tryna live
(Aiming for the stars and I need to exist)
[Verse 4: Enigma]
Tryna live
Let me live, bring the real back
Go to work down in my steel hat
On this perch I'm sitting witnessing this rebirth of real rap
Home of the villainous killing 'em better chill fam
Home of the illest, the realest to ever did that
Home of the innocent descendants of the son
Since the beginning been spitting over drums
We not done baby
(Aiming for the stars and I need to exist)
Leave no witnesses
Murder the beat like grim reaping the benefits
Since Genesis been giving pharaoh the business
Behold this litmus test and [holes?] forgiving this
Or testing those few critics who wanna feel this shit
But can't stop from frontin' I should Pharrell this shit
Throw your quarters down that wishing well I wish him well
