Lyrics

0:05People confusion going on
0:18Why don't we just learn how to live with one another
0:28It's not really impossible why do
0:32We have to make it so hard
0:34With so much pollution and erasion why
0:41Why
0:43If we can learn how to live with
0:45One another then we can learn
0:47Who is going to take the weight
0:56Wait I think that you'll find it
1:00Wait wait I think that you'll find it
1:07Wait wait I think that you'll find it
1:18Yeah yeah
1:21I go for the record
1:22I don't just go for the medals bro
1:25N***as used to know that we stronger than the devil bro
1:28Since I buried Papa in the village with the shovel bro
1:31Every move is bold ain't no time for bein' subtle bro
1:34In the face of evil
1:35I can find the needle haystack
1:37Could have freed my people if this w**d was legal way back
1:40Po-po spun the wheel on misfortune
1:42But I ain't play that
1:43They come round and pat-pat-pat us down
1:45But I ain't Sajak
1:47I escaped the trap I escaped the cubicles bro
1:50I escaped the drive by's drop the funerals bro
1:53And I beat the case and I beat the chase woah woah
1:56Can I keep the pace can I keep the pace I'on know
1:59I escaped them tryna bleach a n***a's brain
2:01Coulda went to Wall Street instead
2:03I built up my own lane my own lane
2:06Rather have a street in my own name
2:08Or money with my face on it like I'm Prince Akeem
2:11Prince Akeem
2:14You not gon' see me frowning in these days and times
2:19You see the days of the Oyinbo man
2:22Are numbered like football jerseys
2:25We now know that all of our suffering
2:28And smiling has been worth the wait
2:32My n***a who knew who knew who knew
2:34Who knew that that boy from
2:36Enugu wit' the booboo on his knee Knee
2:38Knee
2:39Back then was actin' like a poodle on a leash Leash
2:42One day he'd have to learn the juju
2:43On the streets streets
2:45Starin' at death like is your shooters
2:46Gonna squeeze squeeze
2:48Freeze please
2:48As a little boy slangin' chains back in Chinatown
2:52Thinkin' to myself
2:53I'ma build a blacker kinda town wit' my
2:55Wit' my wealth
2:56And I pray that I'm the brightest sound
2:58That you ever felt
2:59I'ma take a million flights around
3:01'Til that s**t is felt
3:02That's that lead the way ayy
3:04That's no piece of cake ayy

3:09That's that he so gay ayy

Wait wait I think that you'll find it
Wait wait I think that you'll find it
