[Intro]

We’re gonna jump right into this one...

Checka, uh-huh uh-huh

Whecka, wh-wha, checka—bucka!


[Verse 1: Jaden Smith]

What’s a heart broken?

You see her and you start choking

A dark open room, will Tony Stark open the door?

Hoping, he’ll take you out of this mess

Ain’t no way that you gon' live another day with this stress

But God bless, you walk and talking and you got flesh

You so fresh, you heal the world with singular steps

I got next, I don’t need to talk to my reps

My Star Trek’s lastin forever, I’m breathing like the weather

Me and you together, these are bonds I’d never sever

I am James Bond, what’s going on? It’s very clever

Top secret, drug bust, the cops keep it

The streets weepin, and the ones at the top see it

Grey cement, tree saps seeping the baby teething

That’s the city on the weekend—screw the planet, leave it

Interstellar, before I was into Stella

Into hella Odd Future videos before I had a Vimeo

'Fore I was in the city with my bros, wearing silly clothes

This how the story goes

You know I’m gonna tell you all the truth

That’s why we inspire the youth, that’s why it’s so important

That’s why I said no to those endorsements

That’s why I let my friends buy the Porsches cause people at our doors hiding out in Trojan horses

That’s why we got these torches, last thing I want is corpses

But the thing that really bothers me is when these Corvettes

Pull up to my doorstep and tell me something corporate

About my dang foreskin—man, shut up

My family’s not a circus

I told my dad to move the whole tribe down to Europe

Where there’s less Siri and a little more syrup

Maybe the doctors there'll know how to cure us

Maybe they are less serious, maybe they’re different

Maybe they don’t think we’re delirious

We’ll be close to the pyramids, we'll make a stop at Giza

Until they say we need you to renew all of your visas

‘Wait dad, you told me we were born on planet Earth'

My dad said, "To beat the system, understand it first"

My dad’s an inspiration, I respect the man at work

And everything you say is something that you can’t reverse

Something that you can’t rehearse

Someone that you can’t converse with

Like your clean pressed shirt, mess it up; wasn’t on purpose

I am a rhythm surgeon, sorry I am insurgent

Divergent; Zoë get on the phone, it’s urgent

No furnishing in the crib, just burning my fists

Tryna figure out what life is, I didn’t write this

How do you like my high kick, pass me the ball, I’ll spike it

Really likin this nitrous oxide, give it to me until i’m cockeyed

Got my spinach now I’m feelin like I’m Popeye or Pappy

I don’t know, get at me, I’m outro


[Bridge]

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

And shout out to my—shouts out

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh


[Verse 2: Jaden Smith]

Renegade, never been afraid, sippin lemonade

Flew to France, sip in different ways, serendipity

Do you ever struggle with your enemies?

Try to conjure energies?

Try to lay a finger on my inner chi, prana

Say what you wanna, I’m onto the next

I’m a new male Madonna, you too worried bout them checks

Can’t keep a shirt on em in the zone of flex

But what about respect?

I’m just too busy to check—Lex Luthor, Kamasutra

Come on, I don’t care, leave that stuff to Obama

Screw yo commas, let my sentence run on

C02 emitting until our damn sun’s gone

Now who’s your number one, huh?

Aye, who’s your number one, huh?

Aye, who ya number one, huh?

Who’s your number two?

Ditto, spit you the truth for real though

Tooth fairy under your pillow, camarillo

I don’t listen to you, I listen to Willow

The ether come out ya speakers, you got a problem?

Speak up, before the teacher leave ya

Red pants dancing with the devil won’t repeat the—

Last century, evolution probably mention me

Penitentiaries, they filling up, that’s why they killing us

Probably see the flaws in the matrix if you real enough

Tried to keep it basic but the doctor’s always pilling us

You even know what penicillin does?

Me either, I am the beat eater

Peeta from Hunger Games here to bring the funk again

Jaden’s alter ego probably jumping in

If it’s fine with you, we rendez-vous at 10

Walk up to ya crib with condoms in my hand

Man we chilling with the kids

They cause some problems in the sand

And all because I told them God was not a man

I love you so I’ll probably carve it in my hand

The cycle’s over, won’t restart it once again

Won’t restart it—beat cold; flow, it’s so retarded

Burning coal just to gain control, homie I got it

Young prophet, come out of pocket

Just to see the geo-engineering stop it, we are boycotting it

Went from picking cotton to be poppin on the rocketship

And now we got the magic

And we frickin Harry Potter on these jokers

And whatever you be droppin, I ain’t coppin it

Cause I’m tryna make sure that my kids will have some oxygen

When they land,you guys won’t understand

"Daddy, could we fly?", I never could but you probably can

And you guys are outta hand

Just look at what’s in your hands

Saving the world is my obligation, it’s not a plan

But I’ll do what I can and I hope I don’t die from a lie

Before I can get y’all to understand

Understand—and ride out to this man
