L-Biz and The Source Academy Kid - 2012 (Radio Edit)

Ok, yeah, aye
Oh, hey
Oh, aye aye
Uh, uh
Kids knew that the world was over
Over
Over
Over
Over
Over
Kids knew that the world was over back in twenty twelve
Like a body in the trunk and they could sniff the smell
I resisted it
Thinking that the shit was just a spell
Passing preachers on the subway saying it was gone be hell
Couldn't picture it
Eight years later, thirty miles from Decatur
Picking out my daddy's meds
In his memory's a crater
But he don't forget his mask, when he walk out
Made sure he put jewelry on his hand, and it's all smiles
Zooming with my friends and we don't know
Which country we gone go
Parents getting so old
Too late for the solo
Escape
So, we watching the collapse filmed in slow mo
Debates from the media they acting like they oh so
Prescient, but nobody believe your magic eight ball
Soldiers going AWOL
Cops retiring, they'd rather take off
Existential dread to Harlem shake off
Fire on the plantation, everybody cake walk
Yo
Smoking vegetables
Add a couple edibles
Million dollar intellectuals who I'm connected to
Blue skies, pool side, a couple grand a month
Living rough
Levels above lavish is what I want
Uh
Shaking hands with strangers, but they know the vibes
Take yo heaven ride for acting sly
We from the coldest side
Shooter not from Warsaw, but the foreign got the pole inside
Said you grind but not like mine
They crush and pulverize
Parents told us be grounded
But we was born to fly
Making revenue, just add a tablespoon of foolish pride
That's what it takes to do away with doubters
Punches in bunches
And they still gon try to land a counter
The best revenge is stacking ends
And then that beep you hear from money counters
Stay sober, never be drunk with power
Naw
Get some rest and beware of the scary hours
But don't get too acquainted with yo cousin
Lives get wasted doing nothing
Folks fiending for success but never move enough
Or maybe they just making room for us
Thanks a bunch
