[Emcee(s): Nomadic and Akeem]
[Producer(s): Neckclippa]

[Hook: Samples] (x4)
“Quiet as kept, I lay back and watch the world spin”
“I hear thugs claiming that they’re gonna rob the Mobb when they…”

[Verse 1: Nomadic]
Sometimes
I watch the world spinning as the buddha burns, feel like
A sperm cell, I’m swimming through the universe, seeking knowledge
My writtens polish every brain diamond, the game
Shaman never worry ‘bout my chain shining. We stay
Grinding on that ill tip and digging deeper, a bit
Of reefer got my skills set to split a speaker, heads’ll burst
You know what I’m about: I’m out for teaching lessons first
Lo professor verse. In this rap drought, I’ll quench your thirst
Forget the hearse—hip hop is here for life. Me and Akeem
Are like a dream, flowing stream inside of this field of mice
Just trying to get a slice before the devils notice
My brains are loaded, I bet the future heads’ll quote this
Universal shit, how to make it out through the worst of it
Kick a verse and nurse it ‘cause, lately, this Earth is merciless
We need rebirthing and take a peek beneath the curtain
I speak a sermon, my rhymes’ll water seeds for certain

“Quiet as kept, I lay back and watch the world spin”
“I hear thugs claiming that they’re gonna rob the Mobb when they…”

[Verse 2: Nomadic]
And so
I sit back, watch and observe like, “Who you playing?”
‘Cause niggas barely Krillins for claiming they’re Super Saiyan, Rugers
Spraying, always spilling how they’re busting a nine, imitate
A couple killers, now they’re thugs in their mind. I tell
This real shit and deactivate someone’s kill switch
Pulling out the steel, got you feeling just like a real bitch
Keep it a bill and learn to stay to yourself ‘cause not having
A watch or grill is really great for your health. Y’all don’t
Feel me. They treat me like an Uzi and conceal me
Because I’m spitting truth, this is a ruby for the little G’s
A crown jewel: watch the motherfuckers around you
Quick to blow the spot, twist, and stretch you ‘cause that’s what clowns do
I roll a pound and find a place for meditation
And elevation. My mental space in renovation
I left the station and got no time to keep it still
‘Cause shit is ill, and so I keep my eyes peeled for real

“Quiet as kept, I lay back and watch the world spin”
“I hear thugs claiming that they’re gonna rob the Mobb when they…”

[Verse 3: Akeem]
Son, check it
They got me locked in, battling barbarians
Permanent scars, beef between squads set off God. Rides
In parks. When niggas pull your card, you ain’t hard when you
Ain’t out on the street, ten deep amongst your squadron
Protect yourselves, bringing an ox or boxing up in cells
Oscar De La Hoya meets Hagler/Hearns. If ever
On the streets we meet, might let the magnum burn, but if I leave
Acknowledge freedom, son, I’m bound to never return
My truth be like the oracle, wise visions warning you
You ain’t gotta hear what I say. Do what you wanna do
Or end up with me as a celly and far from them ocean views
While staring through a small glass window where killers sharpen tools
Carving spoons, they plan a day in May to mark your doom
Catch you by the steps from the cameras so they can start your wounds
They creep. On the real, shit gets deep
Last night, the Devil tried to kill me in my sleep
