[Verse 1: Jorge Vidrio]

Yo

I swear to God I'm gonna die before I'm 40

Cancer, diabetes, or from you being annoying

And I believe I send a message worth ignoring

'Cause I'm insignificant, despite all that I've done I bore you

And fuck George Glass because he never fucking listens

Pretends that he's about it, walks around and fucking disses

And I ain't seen a motherfucker more conceited

'Cause he thinks he knows it all, he fucking Googled life's meaning

Somebody better hold me back from myself

When I see that motherfucker he gon' look like someone else

Can't breathe I'm asking for help

Mom said I'm going to hell

Dad said I'm diabetic because I don't buy none of that shit

And I'm beginning to believe that they right

Maybe everything go if I just pray once in a while

Alone since I was a child

I say fuck a motto, 'cause here lies Jorge Vidrio

George Glass fucking shot him (gunshot)


[Chorus]

Requiem, requiem

Shift the glass from paradigm

Sights on gas I'll make it mine

Tried to learn but been out of time

Requiem, requiem

Mourning for my ears and eyes

Morning isn't quite as bright

Nothing's better and I'm always fed up with

Requiem, requiem

Time stuck there in pastime

Shifted their perspective's light

But I guess it's made me, right

Requiem, requiem

I say fuck 'em, tryna get some closure

Full disclosure, flip it over

Man, fuck those posers


[Verse 2: Franklin]

Exposed, but only hair to my nose

Hope this nigga be a ride or die

Too much pressure, check the PSI

Copping out, that's a no-no

Nah my momma, she ain't know-know

Only one not off the 4 Lokos

No one told me not to use that telephone pole no more

Man we only feeding the idea

That this shit's off the melanin

Man this shit is real

Don't already got the millions

Like Michael Bennett

Fuck Michael Bennett, I said it

My mind ain't sound but I look it

Get it, hit the

Ding dongs, year long, not a sing-song

I still long, on my momma for innocence

But I covered it up in an incense

Revolution, new Renaissance

No inflection, banging amethyst

(So uh... what's my cut?)

Bikes left out never get no rust

We ride the bucks over to (static) hood

Where the fences low and finds are good

Say never go downtown and I don't blame 'em

Oh your shit gone? My words are verbatim

Oh shit we're wrong? Well your money would've made 'em

Took up what you talk, well my nigga would've made it

You can't get work, how you think we are

This ain't going through no PR

Where I'm saying don't say y'all

There's a reason I'm off ethanol


[Chorus]

Requiem, requiem

Shift the glass from paradigm

Sights on gas I'll make it mine

Tried to learn but been out of time

Requiem, requiem

Mourning for my ears and eyes

Morning isn't quite as bright

Nothing's better and I'm always fed up with

Requiem, requiem

Time stuck there in pastime

Shifted their perspective's light

But I guess it's made me, right

Requiem, requiem

I say fuck 'em, tryna get some closure

Full disclosure, flip it over

Man, fuck those posers


[Verse 3: renzo]

Used to live down 47th

Nothing special, but it wasn't Heaven

Used to see all the Jewish reverends

And when I walked past 'em they all dirty lookin'

Blonde tips 'cause my roots grew in

Hated school, they be fake shootin'

Threw 'em down like I'm Cam Newton

But it's stupid, had to come back on some crew shit

Like I'm down 3-1 they be clueless

Had to figure out where I'm at 'cause my mind laid out like a map

I been thinkin' like Confucius, confusion

Look 'em in the eye, no illusion

Swear to God y'all be jumpin' quick to conclusions

Like I'm the new kid

Had to pick it up now I'm too big

Man I'm fluid


[Chorus]

Requiem, requiem

Shift the glass from paradigm

Sights on gas I'll make it mine

Tried to learn but been out of time

Requiem, requiem

Mourning for my ears and eyes

Morning isn't quite as bright

Nothing's better and I'm always fed up with

Requiem, requiem

Time stuck there in pastime

Shifted their perspective's light

But I guess it's made me, right

Requiem, requiem

I say fuck 'em, tryna get some closure

Full disclosure, flip it over

Man, fuck those posers
