[Intro]

High art

[Chorus: Courtney Orlando, Natalie Lauren, Swoope]

So I'm givin' you flowers

For the light that you'd be (Light that you'd be, yeah, ah-ah-ah)

If life is a movie (Life is a movie, ah-ah-ah)

This you'll see (This you'll see)

Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em

King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum

Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em (Ah-ah-ah)

Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

Gotta put good energy out, it's a vibe (Ah-ah-ah)

I don't lose buildin' you up, we could rise

Before you go buy bouquets 'cause they in heavеn (Ah-ah-ah)

Make sure you give 'еm they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 1: Courtney Orlando]

First just let me apologize (Let me just apologize)

For all the times that I was [?] now (Man, I was wild)

Like a prophecy from heaven (Heh heh)

You predict that it would happen (You always do it for me)

I don't know how you did it, it was magic for sure

The tricks that you'd pulled to make sure it was good

Fighting your demons so that we could slay ours

Prayed for the light, now we're shining in yours

And I wanna say thank you (Thank you)

For all of the sacrifices you made

All praise is due to Yahweh for the gift of a mama's love

[Chorus: Courtney Orlando, Natalie Lauren, Swoope]

So I'm givin' you flowers

For the light that you'd be (Light that you'd be, yeah, ah-ah-ah)

You deserve flowers for all eternity (For eternity, Ah-ah-ah)

If life is a kingdom, then you are its queen (You are its queen, Ah-ah-ah)

If life is a movie (Life is a movie, ah-ah-ah)

This you'll see (This you'll see)

Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em

King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum

Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em

Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 2: Sho Baraka, Natalie Lauren]

We tear each other apart with great detail

But when it's time for love, it's amazing how bad we fail

I owe my praise in the form of a check (Ayy)

Reclaimin' my time, that's how you paid me respect (Ayy)

It's crazy, I'm sittin' here expecting so much praise, but

I should call my grandmother on many days (Hello, yeah)

I act like praise don't matter, I be lyin'

I should have been closer to Fish when he was dyin'

I should shout out Reach a lot more, I be tryin' (Ah-ah-ah)

Please show public support, don't be spyin'

All I desire was inspired by the ones who came before (Ah-ah-ah)

Some of you should be praisin' the Cross Movement more

I tell my brother eye-to-eye, dignity is your power

Disregard is a few of an insecure coward

Make 'em laugh once a day, make 'em smile every hour

Let your life be a garden, I love the smell of flowers

[Chorus: Swoope, Natalie Lauren]

Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em (Ah-ah-ah)

King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum

Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em (Ah-ah-ah)

Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 3: Natalie Lauren]

Lightbulb, you should know 'fore I let you go

I'll make you a garden, I'll save you the harvest

Please, flowers

And [?] I reach us cleanin' up, the tables are turnin'

Brand new sun, I'm glad we see black complexion underneath

After the bouquet broke, you said "Have a rose"

[Chorus: Swoope]

Ain't no time better than now for you to hail 'em

King and queen, put that crown on cerebellum

Everything, that's what it mean when you could tell 'em

Gotta give people they flowers while they could smell 'em

[Verse 4: Swoope]

Yeah (24), uh-huh, yeah

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

A new 24 we been blessed with

Full day or shot clock, is it hours or seconds?

Jack Bauer I'm guessin'

Either way, the cliche "Seize the day" finna get scratched out of my checklist

Ak-town is the essence, state of OH

Get tatted all on my left wrist, reppin' 'til I die

I'm West Side until I exit

Write raps until I'm left with the right way, so I guess I'm ambidextrous

Gotta give bouquets before my n****s gone

'Cause every five minutes I'm thinkin' "Damn, Nipsey gone"

Hustle wasn't new, he just didn't get his due

'Til we seen him in the silk blue wit' the loafer shoes, goin' higher

I wish I would have gave you your gifts before they shot you

Wish Kobe would have taken the whip 'stead of the chopper

I pray you flyin' high wit' Gianna

It's 24, here's to honor the Black Mamba

[Interlude: Courtney Orlando, Swoope]

If life is a movie (Life is a movie)

This you'll see (This you'll see, yeah, High art)

[Verse 5: Swoope]

They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

But the truth is, you had it and you knew it, you just never thought you'd lose it

I'm lucid', I'm givin' out these tulips through my two lips

Before I'm pushin' daisies, put petunias in my music

24 hours, another day on this planet

Got a choice to be grateful, or you could take it for granted

You could stop wit' complainin' or stop and smell the roses

Then take them same roses and put 'em to people' noses

Most people don't know if you really love 'em which is scary

'Cause the only time you say it is obituaries

Tryna' put my heart in these bars, take it in

Garden full of flowers for y'all, take a whiff, mm

[Outro: Swoope]

24

New day

Uh-huh

Let's go!
