The Signs

[Verse 1]
As I sit back starin' at the ceilin'
Explorin' God's mind, tryna achieve the feelin'
Holograms of life surpass dreamin'
Escapin' strife and a life of high schemin'
Most niggas see robbin' and stealin'
A nice shortcut to livin' amongst demons
And when the red and blue lights start beamin',
Your heart starts beatin', your freedom is leakin'
Stress levels peakin', my drug use is frequent
Dippin' blacks in syrup, never bothered to freak 'em
Candy in the cup, 'cause a nigga tryna slow down
Used to smoke trees, graduated to that blow now
You niggas gookin' if you think I'm finna hold down
You fertilize hatred? Ya ass get mowed down
Y'all niggas gay like the boy band O–Town
I'm so low cold with the flow so profound

[Hook]
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind
Live my life unrestricted by time
In a world that's infected with crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind
Live my life unrestricted by time
In a world that's infected with crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs

[Verse 2]
Astro the Magnificent
Is so proficient with breaking down barriers
Buddha and bad bitches
This gift was bestowed upon me in the womb
As an infant I lay in my crib singing tunes
Said my first word, "Light" at the age of one
A precursor to the shine of which was to come
The Gift of Gab seems to be dripping from my tongue
The way I captivate the minds of the old and young
A nigga fresh, a nigga fly, a nigga real
Cold as steel and I never cry
I sense pussy in your heart then I sever ties
We intercede with the greed that consume our lives
No wives, just bitches in this nightlife
Squeezing coke sacks searching for the right white
They say life's what you make it in hindsight
When it's the other way around, you know you're blind right?
Right, right

[Hook]
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind
Live my life unrestricted by time
In a world that's infected with crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs
I can see past the present
The eyes don't compare to the mind
Live my life unrestricted by time
In a world that's infected with crime
I arise from the grime
I align for a sight with the signs
