Salad Days
Intro
Man There Was This Book I Just Read On The Bu-
Well You Know It Was My Dream So I Guess I Wrote It Or Something But Uh
Man It Was Bizarre It Was Like Um
The Premise For This Whole Book
Was That
Every Thought You Have Creates It's Own Reality You Know
It's Like Every Choice Or Decision You Make
The Thing You Choose Not To Do Fractions Off And Becomes Becomes It's Own Reality You Know Just Goes On From There Forever I Mean It's Like Uhh....

[Verse 1 - Novel Supreme]
Im workin hard every night for my pain to die away
It keeps my mind straight so i can always levitate
My moneys kept in a place no sweat no trace
Making me feel my rhymes need to be placed
I feel pressured over being measured with all the gestures
I’m always feelin like a hidden treasure
Watch my rhymes take over
As I tip toe over
Into some place like them salad days
Then ill, go ahead and hypnotize my issues
As i vocalize and oxidize my tissues
By
Fulfilling my dedication
Live televised stations
With a big motivation
That can jeopardize a nation
My biblical lines are getting spilled
Spiritual savior with the skills
Lyrically known for major kills
So tell me what’s your version
Submerging in diversion
Living estates of aversion
Mental crackdown
Like a pharaoh that's A psycho
Living like a maestro
Master of the ghetto
Weak minded emcees
Who can’t even read
And not to be mean
But your flows never coming in clean
Grasping money from some dummy
Spend it all when you funky
Respect to an extent
But what about my friend?
Still short on the rent
Fuck it right
I guess we’ll just hustle hard by the night
