[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Push come to shove once and for all
Moments of pause, answer the call
If it's the last dance, with that said
It's the last chance to evolve
Bein' a Black man's been a job
Look at the loved ones I have lost
Give me a CAT scan, I can't stand
When the drug starts wearin' off
What they would call goin' through withdrawal
Nothin' to fear but fear is all
Nothin' to board these spirits off
Better prepare for a tear to fall
I say a prayer for a miracle
Pinnin' a parable to share with y'all
It's about one crown who was run down
Somehow still standin' tall (Tall)
Look, I received hеat from a friend
We will get knee-deep, gеt it in
I will be three sheets to the wind
Then I'll repeat dumb shit again
Yo, they was vibin' on psilocybin
Phil Collins or Phyllis Hyman
Criticized, but it's still a problem
To get a rise from the threat of violence
That's a gateway like Ellis Island
We should take time, smell the flowers
At the bassline for the powers
That be, I wonder what the hell is ours?
May as well keep livin' lawless
If I face charges regardless
I'ma race now from the margin
But somehow, still a livin' target (Target)
Out of socket, out of darkness
Out of pocket, out of office
Who ever thought to collect a orphan?
Didn't ever say shit about a coffin
All the tools that we had was hammers
That's exactly what we would brandish
Whole high waitin' for the time
We get a placebo instead of answers, I mean
Push come to shove once and for all
Moments of pause, answer the call
If it's the last dance, with that said
It's the last chance to evolve
Bein' a Black man's been a job
Look at the loved ones I have lost
Give me a CAT scan, I can't stand
When the drug starts wearin' off
What they would call goin' through withdrawal
Nothin' to fear but fear is all
Nothin' to board these spirits off
Better prepare for a tear to fall
I say a prayer for a miracle
Pinnin' a parable to share with y'all
It's about one crown who was run down
Somehow still standin' tall (Tall)
Look, I received hеat from a friend
We will get knee-deep, gеt it in
I will be three sheets to the wind
