There is a lot going on lyrically, and for a bonus track it has impeccable production value. The Knights drop some sophisticated bars with good context to the nolstalgic tone of the hook and overall track. To the closure of their first of three collaboration albums with John Frusciante, The Black Kn...
[Intro]
Sit back and vibe to this
Some melodic shit
Know what I'm saying?
Let's take our minds to another place
Gonna take your mind to another place
[Verse 1: ?]
Tree house, house tree
A metaphor, a simile
Guitar string bleeds through the acoustic sounds
While I'm sipping on some tea, with some ginger root
Recruit soldiers that's loyal, from the grain in the soil
Watch the cookies crumble, cos you kept your hands in the jar
By far you're not a star, you're just a flashlight
Running on low batteries
Here's some Duracells, some Energizers
You need some batteries, I'm a meteorite on the stratosphere
Top of the galaxy, many moons ahead
You've been mislead by the false profits, mentally dead
In the tomb your mind is wrapped like a cocoon
Try to assume; get your head gasket popped like a balloon
It's not your birthday, so I blow your candles out
Smash the cake in ya face, strike my name up like a vandal
Like a picture on a canvas or a New York train
Cross you out, put a [?] by the side of your name
Life my life day by day cos it's a beautiful thing
I live my life day by day cos it's a beautiful thing
[Hook: ? and ?]
So row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
Nigga swimming up shit creek without a paddle
Still just searching for a dream
So row, row, row your boat gently down the steam
Niggas swimming up shit creek without a paddles
Just searching for a dream
Just row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
Nigga swimming up shit creek without a paddle just searching for a dream
[Verse 2: ?]
Seduce the queen, from the moment of introduce, supreme
Skip [?] go between, accelerate and go like green
Produce and motivate, get [?]
Nigga on the scene with a gangster lean, [?]
So respect with no regret and then protect, like a pit-bull pet
Get set for the romance like hold hands
And the slow dance to the slow jams
And the vacations to the high sands when you drop grands
And you pop plans and you chop plants
And we pop plans and you drop plans
And you shop dance to [?]
Produce just to boost the team
Pop a beam [?] for the color scheme
Larger than life, all off a [?] like a movie screen
Seduce the queen, seduce the queen to get the green nigga
[Verse 3: Crisis Tha Sharpshooter)
Rest in peace to the dead and gone
Exit my life like steady loan, get steady grown
Got me smoking good joints, blunts, rips from the bong
Nigga I miss you, when it get too real I play this song
I know that life goes on so I try to play along
Like I'm over it, knowing I'm wishing you was home
You was my battery, Charge me up, to match for my dreams
You seen the gift within me even before I seen it
Said you dreamed we was on stage with Method
You wasn't dreaming
It's so inconvenient you got caught up by them demons
I prayed for mercy on your soul and I ain't being lenient
We all took the dark road, hoping God keep it
It ain't no secret that we started from the dirt up
That's why we made the [?] come out this [?]
We miss you Doc Doom, I can't believe they took my brother
Big homie and my partner and there never be another
