[Hook]
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us

[Verse 1]
Shortcuts are all we ever take
We work so hard not to wait
But we stay in the same place
Waiting for the day that them numbers hit
Seems dumb but I guess that hope is numbing the pain
No waste when I hit sustain
Let them pretty notes linger, they keeping me sane
Two scoops for the kid in me
Figure that the creativity
Might be the only thing I use to maintain
And I know I might be just a li'l too instrospective
But I'm tryna fly like the fucking Jetsons
Put on my jetback
Kicking it with Elroy, no rush to jet back
That rush can eat shit with Limbaugh
I'm tryna slow down but my world's a pinball
I am not a fucking wizard
The who is missing
My imaginary friend's on a mission
I'm 'bout to join him, off the reservation
Didn't think twice, never liked hestitation
Tip of the cap, I liked your invitation
With nothing good to say
Not sure I'm gonna make it
Take a polaroid, wish that I could shake this
No stopping, so the bottle's where we make piss
Full throttle, not sure my ride can take this
Panels keep cracking, this spaceship is makeshift
[Hook]
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us

[Verse 2]
Sipping Starbursts 'til my heart hurts
The Delorian is looking more like a hearse
Throw it in reverse and go find McFly
Unshaken we are J. Fox, Family Ties
No spin to the city when we ride now
It's a casual Freestyle Friday, put your tie down
Put your boots on, strap them shits up
Found a new balance, them fucks will never get us
Running like Jackie Joyner-Kersee
With a kevlar jersey, they could never hurt me
Too complex, they could never work me
Too cold to brain freeze from slurpees
Too dope to OD a dope fiend
Dirt cheap, we free but stay so clean
Oh dog, we so smart but so mean
Oh Lord, we stay straight but still lean
On top won't come down, pay no penance
We walk hard, our soles show dead ants
Potatoes and meat, but we still eat lettuce
Chop it all up and we top with feta
Fair and balanced with the peaks and valleys
We can meet the challenge but we need to rally
So the caps are on, those traps are set
The 4G's in my pocket, we got maps to quest, go
[Hook]
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us
