Strings

[Verse 1]
Based in a city
Where the Yankee fitted isn’t indicative of The Bronx
We make our pilgrimage with Haram for Isabel Marant
And find a new start
Bet pocket change to skewer the pool shark
So much heart it’s like he has two hearts
Close enough to God it looks like two Gods
Eat stars, to the needy we give Neiman Mar’
Charge a four times mark-up cause homies plead for jobs
Debt collectors and reapers call
Evolve or what are you breathing for?
Energy vampires ask for coffee meets and phone calls
He’s just as much of a genius but thrills less like “Off The Wall”
A conduit like Esther Hicks in precious knits
My daughter chews on my necklace, the exorcist, uh
Pop you in your third eye and darken your enlightenment
In my head still hearing Ravi Zacarías, Elijah Muhammad
No pedestal for frivolous gifts
My fingers twist off the shrimp's tail
My actions karma for fan mail, I’m in bliss
Before I learned the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6
My ancestors spoke from a convoy of ships, picture this
10 year old Rad expecting death like an old friend
El Duende makes sure he doesn’t hold onto old skin

[Bridge]
…the trance that you get into while you're creating, whether you’re writing or whatever it is, where time stops existing
And that makes sense because Heaven is timeless…

[Verse 2]
Five chains hang man, Newton's Crane
The breath was given at birth but now we war for a name
Yo, Patriotism, yo, gangsterism
I see the God in everybody but ain’t polytheistic
We polar opposites with poles pointed at the opposition
Knowledge before wisdom but both written like Solzhenitsyn
Thug poets with drugs coming out their noses
Hunched over on a street corner with strange aromas
Mothers mourn nameless little boys who hate growing up
Gang affiliations, retaliation for heartbreaks
Thank the almighty before the wheat meets the Parkay
Evolved 350 days a year to get to Park Place
Daddy pulled the nine out the red light, start the car race
I’ve got too much family to uphold to become entre

[Outro]
Time stops when you’re in perfect relationship to creating because you have put yourself in alignment with that which is limitless
