(Intro)
|
Dilated Peoples, Dj Premiere on the beat
|
Dj Baboo on the cut
|
You know the Saga, hoolaga
|
Sacrifice my light, but I won't give in
|
That's why I'm driven, to bless you with the god given
|
See what yo eyes dilated for the safety of the team
|
|
(Verse)
|
I was getting buried alive
|
Heard the dirt hit the coffin top, I barely survived
|
But I broke through my grave ripped the pine box seal apart
|
Head first yelling 'maggot brain, funkadelic art'
|
Fear is a dark side fair-weather friends flock, Hitchcock
|
Same birds scatter when the end stop
|
Couple let their guards down, figure they was there for certain
|
Talking about 'time to pull the plug and close the curtain'
|
Eyes wide, bug like, [?] and Lazarus
|
I thought that y'all were ^&*() nevamind, material still hazardous
|
Hazmat, clutching their chests like asthmatics
|
For mathematics, a natural dash of black magic
|
Salute to new voices flexing power advancing
|
The ballot's a modern branding versus classic sound clashing
|
Took heavy fire, survived the crash landing
|
Smiled to walk away from the wreckage, the last standing
|
|
(Hook)
|
They thought that it was gone for good (it was gone)
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
(You know the saga, who liver)
|
(Sacrifice my light but I won't give in)
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
(See with your eyes dilated for the for the sake of the team)
|
|
(Verse 2)
|
Devise a plan and I execute it 'til I'm undisputed
|
If the record never stated, I've been showing most improvement
|
At a time when my peers declined, I used it as a booster
|
Used the dedication as a plus, I ain't used to losers
|
Lock the randoms from the safe, then I change the combination
|
Then I set the pace, settle down, and lay the conversation
|
Drew an outline that made me think, is this a new beginnin'?
|
Kept an older frame of mind when I've been spraying all these feelin'
|
So God bless us, cut from different cloths and different textures
|
Different walks of life, some act, some are directors
|
Some are extras, and those ain't easy to find
|
And I ain't easily defined, what is fame? A thin line
|
I been thinking walking over the edge but keep blinking
|
Taking two steps back to my zone for no reason
|
Call it comfort, that is not the best for my heart
|
Not the best way to end and not the best way to start
|
Good as gone
|
|
(Hook)
|
They thought that it was gone for good (it was gone)
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
(You know the saga, who liver)
|
(Sacrifice my light but I won't give in)
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
(See with your eyes dilated for the for the sake of the team)
|
|
(Verse 3)
|
I was outta mind and sight
|
Dark clouds all around me, trying to find the light
|
I took flight with the dot dot legs dangling
|
Cliff-hanging never docking my spot
|
I stand by what I say, cause I'm easy to find
|
Dates posted every day of the year in bold lines
|
The more that I roam the more that I'm free
|
The more I'm in Rome the more that I'm me
|
The more I'm at home, the more that it's stress
|
The moral is, we be touring it best
|
I'm not the same old run of the mill
|
Who keeps running until, the feet tell him 'put the runners to rest'
|
I've seen the last come first
|
I've seen the first, last
|
I double majored in life
|
Some of the worse passed
|
Back to school learning secrets that the Earth had
|
Sat in coach and studied business before my first class
|
|
(Hook)
|
They thought that it was gone for good (it was gone)
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
They figured it was good as gone
|
(You know the saga, who liver)
|
(Sacrifice my light but I won't give in)
|
They thought that it was gone for good
|
(See with your eyes dilated for the for the sake of the team)
