lyrics

When I picture gardens / All I see is squares / I ain’t the maddest son / Cuz tragedy impaired my ability to hurt / And pain makes power / I grew up on a roof across the street from burnin towers / Now it's flowers that I see / On the ground in devotion / Can't stop to smell the roses / Not since my nose is broken / I ain’t close to jokin / This ain’t no bogus moment / I don't need some hocus pocus / Give a fuck about opponents / On this road I am the quotient / The vision I got is potent / Good riddance to my atonement / Arrogance would write an opus / But I’m not, I’m writin this / I am just a rodent deserting a sinking ship / The water is a bonus / Now the liquid is ubiquitous / I’m drowning as I’m floatin / So my mission is duplicitous / My instrument’s the ocean / My attitude is parallel to carousels / Reeling round, feelin grounded on a parasail / Find me gliding / On parallels / You can find me gliding / On parallels / I be, I be on some shit again / ABC, BBC, feel the blend / Improving the design like Nicki did with Lil Kim / And nowadays ain’t no one movin me a little bit / Their music got me stiller than Riddlin / I’m instilled with a little bit of Nasir and Jay and Em / I’m rappin the hottest and I can tackle the topic like Texas A&M / And I’m a lay to rest the rumors and the quiet talkin / Cause when they pass the batton it’s from the riot squadron / I be lying off in far away lands / On a beautiful beach front / This ain’t no Rockaway sand / Pay for everything in cash and dollars out of my hand / Now I only write for money like a government grant / Ain’t nothing but bad hoes, bad hoes and bad hoes / Bitch as flat as a flat toe / Ain’t that so / I can’t help but to act like an asshole / My attitude is parallel to my cashflow / Yeah / Find me gliding / On parallels / You can find me gliding / On parallels / Hey kid, you’re goin somewhere / Concrete and sunshine is out there / Hey kid, you’re goin somewhere / So bright, so far and so clear / It’s your life, it’s your life; it’s not theirs / It’s your life, it’s your life; it’s not theirs / I put thank you’s in a bank / You do what you can while I do what you can’t do / I pay dues when they ain’t due / So much cash under the mattress springs break like it’s Cancun / But I don’t measure money in dollars / Instead I barter with honor / It’s so much harder to launder actual bills / My thrills come to me in the form of blessings / Every day I’m feeling lucky / And the more that I am Jesse / Then the less that I am stressing / Confession / These recessions don’t cause me to feel depression / What’s essential is ascension / So what’s possessions? / I play positions / I write scripts like physicians / Listen / I’m overboard / Go to war / Shake a spear (William) / No overlords know the score’s four to four (million) / Goin door to door / There’s no remorse in my vocal chords / My attitude is parallel to gratitude more and more / Find me gliding / On parallels / You can find me gliding / On parallels.
