[Chorus]

[Verse 1: KXNG Crooked]
(?) ring runs (?) in the key of life, wearing my glasses like Stevie
Last night I had a dream, I see Martin Luther King lose his life on the black-and-white TV
A murder story this is purgatory
Still we search for glory on the earth before the Afterlife, see me
A damn shame when I fell down
People that I thought would lift me up start laughing like "he he" Rafa(?) Marsalis on the saxophone, playing the saddest song
That's what life is l like, when you on your path alone
But you gotta know you gonna bе aight, aight
My dead people arе my guided light, like lighting some dynamite, They lighting the sky tonight, shining bright
That's why I look up at the stars when it's time to write
Then I find a mic in my line of sight, and I pull my heart out
(?)Am I alright alright(?), but I can't leave this part out
I promised all my dead homies I'ma put this part out
For real

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: KXNG Crooked]
(?) A different lyric than the Beatles write (?)
Can you imagine like Len-non
Having a dark cloud follow you even though you stay on your toes, getting your Michael Jackson type spin-on
You see it every time you turn around, and the city is burning down, fire truck, flashing light (?) on
They can't extinguish the flame, it remain hot
I stay on the same block, that the Antichrist live-on
Maybe this is hell or a different L
Strangers want me in a prison cell
I wonder if Crooked was standing next to a wishing well would you wish him well
Murderous normal the system failed
And you're nobody until somebody kill you cause Death kiss-and-tell
Another martyr in the ghetto, a lost soul at the crossroads
Making bargains with the Devil, in my heart I'm just a rebel
Married to a derringer City of Lost Angels, this is New America
[Chorus]
