[Intro]

Yeah x3

[Verse – WordPlay T.JAY]

Let me stop time to plot lines

Way before MySpace and dot coms

Way before dorm rooms and Top Ram…

Way before the first time I got some

I cheated on Judy with Dominique

I cheated on them with pen and ink

I keep writing all these necessary verses

And I’m hurting folks on purpose just to try to find my purpose

Now ain’t that some sick shit to swallow

Let me drink all this Nyquil I borrowed

Cause when I write it’s not numbing all the pain

And my only motivation is to be a better man

So line after line I keep scripting

Just change up the plot that I’m living

Not to mention my abusive step father

Just to keep the demons sober I’m a take some Holy water

[Hook – WordPlay T.JAY]x2

Down by the River

Wash my soul, wash my soul

Wash my soul

[Verse 2]

Let me stop time to plot lines

Way before hot blondes and cold bars

Way before lemon drops and mudslides

Way before Bedstuy and sold cars

Wrote about 40 verses a week

Cause life had me begging to God, please!

Wiped too many tears on my sleeve

And fought too many nights with no sleep

But ain’t no stopping this King Arthur

Sit the round table in the kitchen

I’m carving David out of marble

Start scripting all of my best visions

Start ripping, all of the best riddles

And to the world I’m just Malcolm in the Middle

Screaming black power with no power

All of these bars with no towers

[Hook]

[Poem]

The clock of the angels runs forever

And God smiles on the newborn child

The camera sounds loud when the pictures in style

Can you see it?

I would spend a week just to be unique

And realize that I’ve been me

No receipts, no repeats

The story lies... within me
