Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
(Swing, swing)
Yeah
(Swing, swing)
This is it right here
(Carry me, carry me)
Ain't no running
(Swing, swing)
The time is coming
(Carry me, carry me)

Pop stars pop pills
They don't wanna feel
I pop bars 'cause I got bars
Heavy-metal rockstars
Cruisin' down the block
In a black Cadillac on spokes
High yella bone
Don't act so woke
Might sell my soul
So I don't go broke
Hang my hopes up high
Like dope
Don't burn my notebook
That's how I cope
Ed Koch made a nigga go broke
Another song book
About the minstrel show
Let my kinfolk go
I can't even dance to Scott Joplin
But a jive-ass nigga
Get the whole block poppin'
Committin'-crime-ass po po
Got the whole block
Locked in
Uncle Day Day 'bout to go
Clock in
He don't even know
The whole town watchin'
Uncle Day Day
Sippin' from a bottle
Smokin' on a blunt
On the porch unbothered
I walk downstairs
To look at them spinners
On that big purple truck
Old-ass man tryna run game
On a little-ass girl
I'm stuck
Uncle Day Day upside his head
With a bottle
Glass he swallow
Body go wobble
Vertical to horizontal
Uncle Day Day is a new role model
But uncle Day Day is problematic
And the patriarchy is automatic
Say, I never trapped
Used to be at parties
Where they did that
Reminiscing on the good
And the bad, I feel bad
Bombs over Baghdad
F*ck that, get ya bag man

All the nights we spent drinking
(Getcha bag man, getcha bag man)
Throwing bottles out the window
To stop thinking
Abstract, confess, rewind
(Jive turkey)
Midnight, 10 lines, sunshine
(Jive turkey)
We riding, tomorrow we uprisin'
(Jive turkey)
By the weekend we be jivin'
(Jive turkey)
Weekend we be jivin', jivin'

Like, "Oh shit, remember that?"
Outside running with the pack
Some of them doing time
For running 'round with that nine
Peer pressured by the flock
Graduated, moved on
Some got clocked
And became an afterthought
Came and went
(Came and went)
Now reminisce
(Now reminisce)
That's of the past
(Of the past)
Some days were bliss
(Days of bliss)
Days of misdemeanor
(Misdemeanor)
One year south of Pasadena
(Pasadena)
Then further east to the south
That changed my whole demeanor

Please stop hanging with
The jocks and the preps
(I was conditioned)
Appropriating blackness
How we on Channel eight
Black caricatures of theft
(Mami or Sambo)
Shooting 32 frames per second
Aiming right for the chest
(Bambi versus colonizer Rambo)
Back in Fouke they torched niggas
Throats like the strep
(For the Klan we got ammo)
Stuck between uprising and jiving
I got some shit to confess
(Back to the same ole)

Wait, now hold up
Don't roll up or pour up
A double cup
I go nuts, I'm so clutch
And I got no trust
Right then and there
Police come bust, f*ck
Drinking in Miami
Thinking 'bout ya family
World is cursed with vanity
Self-aware, you got agony
Graduate of emotional academy
But you are not a damaged bitch

All the nights we spent drinking
(Getcha bag man, getcha bag man)
Throwing bottles out the window
To stop thinking
Abstract, confess, rewind
(Jive turkey)
Midnight, 10 lines, sunshine
(Jive turkey)
We riding, tomorrow we uprisin'
(Jive turkey)
By the weekend we be jivin',
(Jive turkey)
Weekend we be jivin', jivin'

And I'm cynical like Seneca
I need Visine for my retina
Benadryl for America
Irritated with a common cold
I need thymine for my soul
I need Imani for my faith
Like the Seventh Principal
I need John Manuel
To keep that crown perked
See, I can't go to church
When I was a kid
Pastor denied me of the word
That nigga said I was perverse
Congregation went silent
I stood up and walked out
They eyes shot like a siren
They judgment is finding
My eyes and I'm blinded
Televangelist pastor
Made my fatherless friend a bastard
F*ck yo Moynihan Report
F*ck yo case study, mission abort
Manipulating lost souls
Pastor fill the basket
With them dividends
Got symptoms like
He overdosing on that Ritalin
Rapid heart beat, psychosis
And delirium
Sometimes
I wish I was a kid again
I would pitch that iron stake
In the face of society
For all the trauma
That it caused
That's the ugly
And the beauty of this life
Our culminating moments
Can't be paused

I'm drawing blanks
(Drawing blanks)
But I give thanks
(Giving thanks)
Acting ignorant
With my friends
Pouring drinks
(Pouring drinks)
Don't wanna think
(Don't wanna learn)
I guess I never
Learned anything
Man, I feel Punk'D
Like I got pranked
Went to the club
I had a drink
Caught a young girl
Throwing up her
Past in the sink
They smokin' loud
I smoke the spliff
Felt my body go numb
Until I blackout
But I'm different now
I get so lifted now
I'm gifted and precisely
Moving with precision
(Now)
Vision
(Found)
Different
(Sound)
