[Intro: Jimmy Nice]
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’ for the signs
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’ for the signs (Yeah)
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’, watchin’
[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Right now
I’m writin’ this in a room next to her while she fast asleep
Up on Sunday mornin’, but it ain’t to hear the pastor speak
Oh Father, hard to fathom not having a father
To see me through this, but my purpose ain’t the past, it’s all that’ll happen after me
Boserio blood floodin' my arteries
So this is how it has to be, even if this is hard for me
Kids fake sleep whilst the parents yell
Promise me that our child’s plight will never be parallel
Literal hell, realer bars like letters from jail
Visceral visions help me to paint you the smell of a cell
Vivid depictions from few of the city's children
Who lost their religion but decoded a mission through letters that spell
K.B.M., we don’t play, Annie, are you O.K.?
Criminal-minded, find a rhymer D.O.A
N.S.W. to V.I.C., I ring in both states
The most debated undeniably, I am the most consistent
Visionary flow-er, the boa constrictor
Reign of Ayatollah, director of motion picture
And most you bitch arse amateur addicts wouldn’t know dope if it hit ya
I truly hope you can pivot, this is a
Little bit of game, like bread that we threw to pigeons
It’s of no use to you if you don’t listen, bruh
My entire life, I embraced the chaos
Said peace to it and peace was the pay-off
[Chorus: Jimmy Nice, Jehst]
Months, not years, weeks rather than months
"Brave hearts keep beatin’ to the hardest drums"
Lookin’ at months, not years, weeks rather than months
"I rain dance till the harvest comes"
Said I’m the rider of the storm, director and the writer of the score
Got nowhere left to hide as I walk this
Earth like I been here before
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice, Sarah Corry, Jimmy Nice & Sarah Corry]
They say you're only ever as good as the company you keep
Well, I’m the hybrid of leaders, henchmen, and writers, at night, I move in silence
Don’t tell me what it is you spend your money on
Tell me who it is you spend your time with
Grand schemes in private, executed in public
I’m one of the real reasons my city is steady bubblin’
Couldn’t make a peep in the city, we got it jumpin’
Without the One Dayers your view would be hella humbling
Scene full of addicts scrapin’ change together to feed their habit
I get all the dope I need from Adit
No disrespect to the troubled souls who don't run it for status
There's a difference between wanting and really needing to have it, I know
Not all of our out-of-body's are vertical
Found that out the hard way when I heard that my mother was terminal
Old Testament verses, hope she'd return on the third
Heard I’m a man of my word and heard that that hurt would've murdered you
(
[?]
) But I ain’t mad at you
What else can await? I wonder what fate will deliver me
I know, misery company, I know love is a mystery
Hate is a hellish fear and I won’t let it cripple me
As I wipe away the tears, write it down just to write away the fears
Give right away as the higher power steers
Talkin’ months not, uh, weeks rather than, uh
(Pray for us sinners now, and in the hour of our death) Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Jimmy Nice, Jehst]
Months, not years, weeks rather than months
"Brave hearts keep beatin’ to the hardest drums"
Lookin’ at months, not years, weeks rather than months
"I rain dance till the harvest comes"
Said I’m the rider of the storm, director and the writer of the score
Got nowhere left to hide as I walk this
Earth like I been here before
[Outro: Jimmy Nice]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’ for the signs
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’ for the signs, yeah
One time for my mind, two times
For my third eye watchin’, watchin’
Two times for the blind, still tryna find a
Way up out the maze in these days and times
