Paperwork

[Intro: Mo-B]
Eyes closed
Blindfolds
Apostles
Lost souls
Lost hope
Fossils
Not so
God knows

[Verse 1: Mo-B]
I got that rollercoaster plummet stomach
Bad case of nerves, large bag of herb
Pushing paperwork
Everyday I earn for that next man
More than he puts in my left hand, in return
I want the tables turned, where the grass is green
Where the [?] dispersed, without the yard debris
I want this prophecy to be my pot of gold
But these dark clouds will never, ever let the sun show
There ain’t no rainbows, there ain’t no proven path
Just some lame goals, so please point and laugh
I used to wear a mask just to be at ease
Cause I’m at combat with my inner deities

[Verse 2: Al-One]
Indent the page, clear my head of all thoughts
Of being trapped in this cage with my head on the block
Me and my God have a separate walk
But I still walk with ‘em
And whether or not you think he hears me, I still talk to ‘em
Why dwell on my wrongdoings for too long?
Stewing in my own problems, ain’t no new song and dance
And I won’t leave my fate up to chance
I gotta take what I can, you can relate or you can’t
Well, with so much on my plate as a man
My motivations and plans get rotated around, hell
Ain’t enough time in a day
But I’ma find me a way to make it happen
It won’t fail

[Hook: Illmaculate & Simple]
We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and hills that it hides behind
We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and hills that it hides behind

[Verse 3: OnlyOne]
My decision was clear
Instead of a cigarette, I put a pen in my ear
Before Mo-B had driven me here to write
Driven from fear to fight this stressful intention
I’m just tryna be successful and make it (Yea)
For all I care, leave my dead body for the Jekylls and ravens
Just a worthless vessel here to search and rescue what’s sacred
I never saw why birth is a special occasion
Since mine, feel I’ve been cursed to wrestle with Satan
Archangel that brings Armageddon, I be Gabrielle
Walk the streets, armed to the teeth like a Navy Seal
And it’s crazy still
I was raised by wolves
Hustling ‘til my plate is full
I’m a capable motherfucker
I sleep on the floor and think about my peoples that’s poor
And ways to even do more, even the score
Then put police in a morgue
Or cut my wrist ‘til they leak and they pour
On the rug while mother beats on the door
She needs support, either/or
They tell me make Jesus my Lord
But I question what I believe in it for
We explore, science make me believe in it more
I re-record for the fans that ain’t being in stores
I be the source

[Verse 4: Simple]
It’s through the [?] disperses where pride comes
No one tells the first person that they wanna die young
Foul mouths tell better lies with dry tongues
Pity no one listened to the song that the spy sung
He’s down among you in a wool coat, with sharp teeth
Stark speech, twisted so, piled in a dark heap
And uses sin to satisfy empirical requirements
He only comes to blow up and burn down environments
Man, take five minutes
Sit down and shut the fuck up
And just listen to this shit
