["Tupac in lotus form minutes, blood on his hands","But I'm a pupil of his sight, the wheels are spinning","","","And sound waves as I will","He's pushing gats hidden in the back, beneath the floor mats","And later doubting them but the night was young","","\"No I'm talking to the sea son's resurrected","","The sun within her, water beneath her","They threw her overboard for dead","As is the science of the aroma of sleeping women","","Reflected in the smogged glass of Carlos, east street bodega","And understood that down below","And when we rock the mic, we rock the mic","They surrendered breath and name","And the reason you were born is the reason that I came","","But why on earth would this be on their agenda?","But let's look feminine side, ignore the feminine side","On the plow till earth till I'm now","Let's the feminine side, ignore the feminine side","","","","Let's the feminine side, ignore the feminine side","","Or pleasure, whichever feathers decrease\"","Yo, I'll see ya'll later on tonight","","Nonetheless she had allowed him to mispronounce her name","Which had eventually led to her misinterpreting her own dreams","Pulse rates descends, hearts rate increase","Her stomach turned as if a compass","A'salaam a something' or another","She woke up in a alley with a gun in her hand","Many of us were born singing","Emcees look me in the face and their eyes get weak","Acid-wash Guess with the leather patches","","Lost in his eyes they soon reflect my friend's are grinning","Let's the feminine side","","Beneath the surface of our purpose lies","I was the one bearing the pitcher of water","","","La soh fa mi, re do, si","Emcees look me in the face and their eyes get weak","","It's like \"beam me up, Scottie\", I control your body","'You're A Customer', the pick of the day","In the beginning her tears where the long awaited rains","A white buffalo was born, already running","Turn the music back up 'cause I'm the E-Double","Dressed in westerlies","Mint green sidekick, custom-made rag top","And thus were born with scales","\"Wait isn't Juanita your mother?\"","Those thrown overboard had overheard","Sang a nightsong by the forest","There would be no more chains","Seldom hearing the distant thunder in her lovers ambivalent sighs","Red dusted children danced shadows","And her eyes get weak","That this strange tongue deceives","Full moon of occasions wave the wolves where they run","Now, my nigga Rafael just got his jeep out the shop","The moon's my mammy, the storm holds my eye","I'm the weather man","Of a parched Somali village","","","","","Yo Ralph, is he talking to me?","","Learning to love, she had forgotten to cry","She swam silently and fled into the blue sea","Rumors of ancient man, dressed in cloud face minstrels in the sky","Now there's a nigga on the block, never seen him before","Sportin' the white Diadoras with the hoodie that matches","Pulse rate descends, hearts rate increase","I'm as deadly as AIDS when it's time to rock a party","The family's clarity for God in the late 1800's","Mushed corn for dinner or was it breakfast","And so we practice scales","","I presented my feminine side with flowers","Mermaids, cooks and field hands","Many of us have been taught to sing","'Strictly Business' is the album that we play","\"Wait, but, but, but, but I know the volume of the sea","And the ocean was the chorus","","She woke up on a vessel, the land behind her","","Robed by robes ol' man river knows my name","","Moon cycles revisited, womb fruit of the sun","Pulse rates descends, hearts rate increase","Man, that shit was wild, you should have seen how they ran","She cut the stems and placed them gently down my throat","I'm the solstice of the day","Come on Jack, we don't have time for your bullshit or playin'","We all rocked fades, fresh faded in ladidadi","In the newfound mound of mascara that eclipsed her face","Took mystery as her lover and raised light as her child","","And you know Lagerfields is the scent","With the skyline on it, with the box link chain","\"Uh, uh, I've seen you before, I've been you and more","","He was not honest, she was not sure","Ours is the blood that flowed from the palms of his hands","The mystery of the undertow","The clouds say storm is coming","I rent the large upper room, furnished with tidings of your doom","In Atlantis where they sang","","And maybe he's been informed that","My man Ralph is nervous, he believes","And if you listen very close, you'll hear a humming","And survived countless as rain","And these two lips might soon eclipse your brightest hopes","\"I told you I know you, now grant me a moment\"","","Then she looks me in the face","My man laughs, he's one them crazy motherfuckers","I'm wearing two Swatches and a small Gucci pouch","Now, my niggas, Duce and Wayne got gold plates with their names","As he slowly approaches the window","And when we rock the mic, we rock the mic","Will you allow me to be at your service?\"","I could have worn the Lugi but I left it in the house","The seventh octave, I don't mean to confuse you","A great grandmother had sacrificed","At the gates of Atlantis we stand","And we run towards the light casting love on the winds","She prayed the east and lay there breathless","And when we rock the mic, we rock the mic","I'm wearing my frames, they match my gear with their tint","I bring news from the blues of the Caspian\"","She the firstborn daughter of water faced darkness and smiled","Selling incense and oil, my man thinks that he's the law"]
