[Hook]
1 time for the noise that we make
2 times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
We live free so they know they can't charge us
3 times for my people out there
4 times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us
[Verse 1]
Shortcuts are all we ever take-
We work so hard not to wait
But we stay in the same place
Waitin' for the day that them numbers hit
Seems dumb but I guess that hope is numbing the pain
- no waste when I hit sustain
Let them pretty notes linger they keepin' me sane
Two scoops for the kid in me
Figure that the creativity
Might be the only thing I use to maintain
And I know I might be- just a lil' too instrospective
But I'm tryna fly like the fuckin' jetsons
Put on my jetback
Kickin' it with Elroy no rush to jet back
That rush can eat shit with Limbaugh
I'm tryna slow down but my world's a pinball
And I am not a fuckin' wizard
And the who is missing
My imaginary friends on a mission
And I'm bout to join him, off the reservation
Didn't think twice never liked hestitation
-- tip of the cap, i liked your invitation
With nothing good to say
Not sure I'm gonna make it
Take a polaroid i wish that I could shake this
No stoppin' so the bottle's where we make piss
Full throttle not sure my ride can take this
Panels keep cracking this spaceship is makeshift
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Sippin' starbursts til' my heart hurts
The Delorian is looking more like our hearse
Throw it in reverse and go find McFly
Unshaken we are J.Fox family ties
--no spin to the city when we ride now
And it's a casual freestyle friday put your tie down
Put your boots on- and strap them shits up
Found a new balance them fucks will never get us
Runnin' like jackie joyner kersey
With a kevlar jersey, they could never hurt me
Too complex- they could never work me
Too cold to brain freeze from slurpees
Too dope to OD a dope fiend
Dirt cheap, we free but stay so clean
O-dog we so smart but so mean
Oh lord- we stay straight but still lean
On top won't come down pay no penance
We walk hard our soles show dead ants
Potatos and meat but we still eat lettuce
Chop it all up and we top with feta
Fair and balanced with the peaks and valleys
We can meet the challenge but we need to rally
So the caps are on, and those traps are set
The 4g's in my pocket we got maps to quest
