[Verse 1: Avatar the Articulate (AKA Avie Fresh)]
Yo, it was
A murder. Jakes just hit the corner, I was in the sauna
Riviera Inn, I had to grin ‘cause I’m not a goner
Shorty was scared, I just said, “Here, have some marijuana”
Mirrors everywhere just made the glare of my diamonds stronger
It’s time I rhymed like this, shine on ‘em with the finest wit
You pissed? I don’t have time for kids, your hood the one that hides the clit
But I’m presiding and it’s live, so come and ride with this
I’ll light a spliff and find chick, we’re at Fridays with Heinekens
Up north, of course, it ain’t no waffle house you find us in
We’re at the IHOP or Juniors—man, you know what time it is
Luminaries is very scary, puffing on the berries
On the kush, niggas govern shit. Rick Perry
Republicans try to win. I got it locked like
Rastafarian melons, I’m dwelling on the dark side

[Bridge: Avatar the Articulate (AKA Avie Fresh)]
Yeah, boy! Represent, keep it real all night, nigga

Suspect witness, don’t come outside
You might get your shit pushed back tonight
Suspect witness, don’t come outside
You might get your shit pushed back tonight

Yo, yo
It justifies—lies, actually it couldn’t. If you’re
Speaking truth, it wouldn’t be couth cooped in a wooden
Cockpit. My Glock spit, glockenspiel wield
Ringing bells, you heel. I’m real deal, never reveal, squeal
Got the codes from the ancient Aramaic
Spit what’s archaic. Sound the alarm. Charm? I display it
Early natives that was sedated. I’ll spit the renovation
Presentations that of a fat cat with rap liaisons
I’ll backtrack from back with Reagan—he had us making
Crack packs for blacks, but I’d rather back smack a pagan
I got a stake in it like Van Helsing, you raping, it’s
Caught in a tailspin. It was frail, thin, you breaking it
I’ll put a vape in it, no combustion when I’m hustling, just
Percussion that’s crushing. If they bust in, we’re flushing
And the realest’ll feel me. Don Cornelius and Whitney Houston, group
Them up amongst the dead. I’m busting lead, die shooting
