[Verse 1]
The apocalypse been in effect, go get a late pass
It seems I overslept my chariot
Snoozing on the other side of time
Where six was nine, on purple pine
Swinging low, let me ride, with my engines fried
Errybody loves sunshine
I'm in the shade of forest, city rat
And I'm turning eight shades blacker, he-he laughter
Born free got no master
Franklin sack, greener pasture
Lush acres, new chapter
Last heard serving rappers farm to table
Old school, Whole Foods, gotta read the label
We grown dude, stone food, ginger beer and Maker's
Lemon peel pull over pebble ice
All I see are blinking lights
Where pipedream off the wicked life
Reflecting elder sage advice, shake the dice
Let's get this money, Black
Ju-ju powder inside his gunny sack
Where he goin' there ain't no coming back

[Hook]
More brilliant than the sun (more brilliant than the) x8
[Verse 2]
You fuckin' with the indigo, body electric
Wholly unimpressed by your social media metrics
Brick and mortar rhyme for distorted time
Offline my core thrives, I'm pulling from where the source lies
Properly zoinked, there's not a stir in this black sky
I'm fire baptizin' my ball-point
Flash fry the raw leaf
Creepy cracker stalking unarmed neighbours
Where's your paper? Slave code still in effect
Make no mistake, hate runs so deep, conscious mind can't trace it
Dangerous, anxious, anger in the nation, same shit
Blame, what you think I'm goin' insane, bitch
My language ain't enough, it's getting harder to relay this
Engulf 'em in the flame, I'm just conveying my rage
Been the truth for young gods, earning they first earth scars
We learn hard

[Hook]
More brilliant than the sun (more brilliant than the) x8

[Verse 3]
I am not a threat, at least not in the manner you'd expect
I'm rocking talismans to save me from the hex
Hearing what you saying, but I'm reading subtext
Weighing if I should check you, but I probably held it back
Dippin' out in mid sentence
If you gotta ask, you'll never know
Break it down fast, spit it back slow
Historical lenses of our not so distant past inform my flow
Standing in the here and now, but hey, tomorrow never knows
I'm a OG with Kofi
They know not what they do, stay away from that clone beef
Chrome teeth, post everything, wa-da-da-dang
When they said he came, clouds of smoke, fire and noise
Open doors, triggered by minor chords
Levitating from spinning marble floors
Neither created nor destroyed, Lord
[Hook]
More brilliant than the sun (more brilliant than the) x8
