[00:00.03]Verse 1
[00:01.65]I am posdnous
[00:03.00]I be the new generation of slaves
[00:55.77]Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
[00:58.71]The pile of revenue i create
[01:00.45]But i guess i don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late
[01:04.02]Product of a north carolina cat
[01:05.91]Who scratched the back of a pretty woman named hattie
[01:09.21]Who departed life just a little too soon
[01:11.46]And didn't see me grab the plug tune fame
[01:13.53]As we go a little somethin' like this
[01:15.39]Look ma, no protection
[01:16.77]Now i got a daughter named ayana monay
[01:18.90]And i can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
[01:21.87]So the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay
[01:24.72]I am an early bird but the feathers are black
[01:27.06]So the apples that i catch are usually all worms
[01:29.49]But it's a must to decipher one's queen
[01:31.62]From a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ
[01:35.07]I cherish the twilight
[01:36.99]I maximize, my soul is the right size
[01:40.29]I watch for the power to run out on the moon
[01:42.84](and that'll be sometime soon)
[01:45.45]Faker than a fist of kids
[01:47.04]Speakin that they're black
[01:48.15]When they're just ****** trying to be greek
[01:50.37]Or some tongues who lied
[01:51.93]And said "we'll be natives to the end"
[01:53.64]Nowadays we don't even speak
[01:55.83]I guess we got our own life to live
[01:57.75]Or is it because we want our own kingdom to rule?
[02:00.78]Every now and then i step to the now
[02:02.73]For now i see back then i might have acted like a fool
[02:05.91]Now i won't apologize for it
[02:07.62]This is not a bunch of bradys
[02:08.94]But a bunch of black man's pride
[02:10.98]Yet i can safely say
[02:12.60]I've never played a sister by touching where her private parts reside
[02:16.56]I've always walked the right side of the road
[02:18.30]If i wasn't making song i wouldn't be a thug selling drugs
[02:21.57]But a man with a plan
[02:23.16]And if i was a rug cleaner
[02:24.39]Betcha pos'd have the cleanest rugs i am.
[02:26.25]Verse 2
[02:26.94]The plug two brand with the flavour
[02:28.71]In the flute watch the sniffin'
[02:29.97]So a sack of shows in demand
[02:31.74]I read the diction from the second page
[02:33.72]I got the one-two gauge
[02:35.19]Baritone to the izm fan
[02:36.90]Trees fall so i can play ground with my ink
[02:40.14]So let me need ya to my ems go
[02:42.06]I push the infinite and carry it
[02:43.74]My carrier's the three over one
[02:45.45]So my pluggins already know
[02:47.22]Lick shots with moo
[02:48.63]Catch the boo
[02:49.26]From a ghost in the heckling crowd
[02:51.45]If i give a foot
[02:52.53]Jack ville caught a spill
[02:53.94]When a still came from my mouth
[02:55.77]I brought a head down south
[02:57.63]I don't check for the noose and the neck
[02:59.70]So i never tell my ems
[03:01.11]That finesse is knocking at my door
[03:02.85]I choose to run from the rays of the burning sun
[03:05.43]And dodge a needle washing up upon a sandy shore
[03:08.01]I bring the element h with the 2
[03:10.11]So ya owe me what's coming when i'm raining on your new parade
[03:13.23]It's just mind over matter
[03:14.82]And what matters is
[03:15.84]That the mind isn't guided by the punished shade
[03:18.42]I keep the walking on the right side
[03:20.49]But i won't judge the next who handles walking on the wrong
[03:23.97]Cuz that's how he wants to be
[03:25.47]No difference, see
[03:26.25]I wanna be like the name of this song i am
[03:28.53]Verse 3
[03:48.57]I am posdnous
[03:49.83]I be the new generation of slaves
[03:51.99]Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
[03:54.93]The pile of revenue i create
[03:56.73]But i guess i don't get a cut cuz my rent's a month late
[04:00.12]The deeds of a natural
[04:01.53]Are seeds that are no longer planted
[04:03.33]So the famine in the mind is strong
[04:05.16]Tactics of another plane is now proven sane
[04:07.68]Sane enough to let you know from within this song
[04:10.29]I stabilize many cableized viewers
[04:12.36]So my occupation's known
[04:13.86]But not why i occupy
[04:15.81]And that is to bring the peace
[04:17.19]Not in the flower but the as-salaam alaikum in the third i am
