[Verse 1: Jean Grae]
Fuck yāall motherfuckers, fuck your fame
Fuck your team of n***as, fuck your name
I could crush yāall cold, ice, diamonds, profane prolific
Iām Cobain but living, Iām āDonāt Explainā Billie
Holidayās spirit, you feel it in your veins, heroin
Addict conceal it like the pain I revisit every time
I do a line, more rhymes for nothing (So whatās)
(My time for?) Writing off? I endorse nothing but me
Shit, no product but free speech, prophetical
Sleestak, nobody can reach meāgo tweet that, Greasy
Iām the preacher of freedom rap, just freedom from
Being wack, no Perry, Madea crackāgo āhead if you
Feeling that. I know you gonā give me flack for it. āShe
Wacky, black. We, as a people, should stand for itā
Surprise, n***a. Iāll open your eyes biggerāno, not for them thighs
I have been destined to rise higher than all this
[Hook: Talib Kweli and Jean Grae]
We came too far to give up
So now we just got to live up
I live high, forget lows
And I fly, and I grow
See, we so high when we get down
And once you fly, canāt forget how
I live high, forget lows
And I fly, and I grow, keep it moving, man
[Verse 2: Jean Grae]
Outcast, misfit, the chick donāt fit
Outlast your quick shit, cliques, hits, boasts, beefs
Wrists, āfros, the gold teeth, trend brought back
The shitloads of switched dress codesādamn jeans. āDamn, Jean
You still rap? Youāre still a fucking thorn sticking
Yourself into more war? For what?ā
Iām so happy that you asked! (Applause!) To crack jaws
To black eyes, to change mind, to crack joke, to chastise
To toast drinks, to expose, to promote
Think! To post links, to face foes, to erase foes
To face those who aināt know, to chase
Free caseloads with other free caseloads, but never
To catch a case though. Old-school queso
Not to get poked on Facebook or fame, no
Just kidding. This is for the same dough
Same lane-playing, same ball, same park, same glow
[Hook: Talib Kweli and Jean Grae]
We came too far to give up
So now we just got to live up

And I fly, and I grow
See, we so high when we get down
And once you fly, canāt forget how
I live high, forget lows
And I fly, and I grow, keep it moving, man
[Verse 3: Jean Grae]
You gonā
Have to let me in at some pointāeh, you probably donāt
āCept at gunpoint, and if I said I had a gun, itād be
A clichĆ©, plus itād be a gun, plus be in your face
Welcome to my purgatory, the urgent story in a
Perpetual state, ignoring. If you can imagine
The things it burdens on me, you can just imagine
The hurtāIāve learned ignoring. My person is the person
In the versesā stories vs. the person in the first-person stories
Vs. the person to disperse the stories
No diversity thatās worth exploring, not commercially
Personal boredom can lead to shit that makes it worser for āem
I welcome it ācause Hellās a flaming bitch, Iām working for him
Itās queer. You gonna shaft or pack her in the rafters
This year? Or tag her ābackpacker stackā and slap her rear?
Whatever. Iām irrational, passionate
Clear, living in a moment you never will come near
