[Verse 1: ELUCID]
Save yourself, my first commandment
Overhanded, feeling mannish, sure
Yeah

Feeling perceived
Thought gather speech
Out the mouth speak
I'm in the house, I'm out in the street
I'm bout it, I weep
If I'm shouting or howling I need a week
I need a month, it's never enough
A certain urgency
Words fail to keep the candle lit
I run with who I ran it with
The clash birthed planets
Manic panic pulled people past peace
Give me ease, giving thanks
Reaching back, blessed be
For my seed, for your seed, for our seed, uh
Spill if it you wanna
Say it cause I got it
I said it when I did it
You wrote a lie and put it in your wallet
Gangsta I knew would hold himself like Monster Kody
Swallow my tongue, I wouldn't try it
Betray my heart, there's something missing without
Tell it true or shut my mouth
There's something missing without
Tell it true or shut my mouth
[Hook: ELUCID]
Give thanks
We was there, we know what it was
Give thanks
To my mother, my peoples and the plug
Give thanks
That they wasn't around when I was
Give thanks
When I'm gone, blow me a dub
Give thanks
We was there, we know what it was
Give thanks
To my mother, my peoples and the plug
Give thanks
They wasn't around when I was
Give thanks
When I'm gone, blow me a dub

[Verse 2: billy woods]
Two times is two too many
Deftly stooped to pick up a penny
In the land of plenty
Kids still shoot hoops in empty milk crates, wasted youth
You young, you move like Robert Kennedy
Line cook tucked the deuce deuce
I read the news cause it's know thy enemy
The war was lost by 72 but it was 75 fore choppers abandoned the embassy
Middle rounds I fight not to lose, conserve my energy
Kinshasa nights, Tripoli by sunrise
You don't know nothin bout the 70s
We really thought we was gonna win
They really thought that he was him
She swore it'd be us until the end
I was lucky to escape with the skin on my back
Margins thin, but n***a, I'm fittin' to make a stack
Tales grim, but the kids just laugh
It's a grimy ring erry time I get out the bath
It's a tiny thing, but I'll still pluck a dime out the grass
Her smile sunshine but when the music stop, she still gotta squat to pick up the cash
[Hook: billy woods]
Give thanks
We was there, we know what it was
Give thanks
To my mother, my peoples and the plug
Give thanks
That they wasn't around when I was
Give thanks
When I'm gone, blow me a dub
Give thanks
We was there, we know what it was
Give thanks
To my mother, my peoples and the plug
Give thanks
That they wasn't around when I was
Give thanks
When I'm gone, blow me a dub
