[Intro: Russell Westbrook]

What?

Bro, what are you talking about man?

Bro, I’m out man, ya'll niggas trippin’


[Interlude]

Ah, ah, yeah

You can’t get paid in a earth this big

You’re worthless, kid


[Verse 1]

I was taught to love the enemy that’s word sworn like a first born

And that grass grow from a dirt lawn

When daddy said he was leavin’, did it hurt mom?

Wait, wait who the fuck is this new nigga on her arm?

They call him shorty I’m a shorty damn near his height

You get outta the car you hitchhike, you ain’t ridin’ with us

You can die my nigga, I don’t care if I’m 5 my nigga

But everybody like you except me and you trynna accept me

Shit it would be easy if you bribed a nigga

Cartoons on Massasoit turned to a vantage point

I just wanna see the world rotate

First time I saw the moon shine never stayed up so late

And we watched in a box while jumpin' in the bed in our socks

He pulls in the garage and he yells for Taj to come out

I, look around and go downstairs, ‘cause even if I don’t wanna go I know that my momma wouldn’t allow it

Guess we ridin’ around then

He took me to the store and told me that he got me

And then I started pickin’ out shit, glass cut, inside Gold

And a sphere so it rolls, it looked like a bunch of globes


[Chorus]

We're all formless

Shapeless, flowin’

Foreign orbit

Starlight, sparkle

Ancient fossil

Flaws with marbles


[Verse 2]

I guess I get to see the world rotate after all

The big one is my shooter, like he had to ball

Shorty is the man to me now, but we had it all

In front of El Grand he made a nigga take his jacket off

You owe him money, better have it all

‘Cause you comin' with half, let's just say that that's something he won’t have at all

For salary, people hustle like Cassidy

I just got a new Casio and a karaoke machine

Now he ain't have the law, but he just know the system

I line my marbles up and I can see the solar system

They think I’m playin’ in the dirt, how naïve

Got into my first fight, and he lost his front teeth

Shorty taught me a cool handshake and I thought we made it up

Got to high school and realized we was just shakin' up

I see my reflection when I look into the heavens

Marbles in my pocket while the sun is settin', settin'


[Chorus]

We're all formless

Shapeless, flowin’

Foreign, orbit

Starlight, sparkle

Ancient fossil

Flaws with marbles


[Verse 3]

You can’t get paid in this earth this big

You’re worthless, kid

Time to take action, affirmative

No more games like refurbishin', uh

I’m only 9 but I’m turnin’ 10

Bump, some alternative like

I ain't never heard of this, shorty let me burn the disk

Keepin' his head above water like he learned to swim

Of course that's when they tried to murder him

But I’m gracious, he took three, one grazed him

With his blood up on the pavement, he ain’t fried he just bakin’

Never seemed like such a cake walk the walk

Makes his way to a car, he go to pick up my mom

Like heaven can wait

When you this big planets start look like marbles

Just pray they don't use the sun as a shooter


[Chorus]

We're all formless

Shapeless, flowin’

Foreign, orbit

Starlight, sparkle

Ancient fossil

Flaws with marbles
