Lyrics

Try and catch me if you can, you might need a hundred grand

Challenging others to catch the speaker, suggesting a high cost for pursuit.

For the type of search party you can send to Wonderland

Comparing the difficulty of catching the speaker to finding someone in Wonderland.

But you better be careful cuz not everybody's ya friend my G

Warning about trusting everyone, emphasizing the importance of caution.

The only thing that might come close is that pen my G

Suggesting that the pen (writing) comes close to being a friend or understanding.

Recently, I've been contemplating what's next

Reflecting on contemplating the future and what comes next.

Due to all the toxins that my body had to digest

Discussing the impact of toxins on the speaker's body.

See I was curious

Expressing curiosity about substances to escape delirium.

Thought it would make me less delirious

Hoping that substance use would make the speaker less delirious.

By taking all these drugs to try and run away from fear and shit

Admitting that drug use didn't alleviate fears as intended.

It didn't work though

Acknowledging the failure of drug use to address personal issues.

So I practiced on my word flow

Turning to improve the skill of lyrical expression.

In hopes to try and control

Seeking control over the unfolding of life through improved expression.

The way my life would unfold

Using words to shape the direction of the speaker's life.

Oh go figure

Expressing surprise at the speaker's inability to see the bigger picture.

My consciousness won't see the bigger picture

Despite the ability, the speaker becomes a drifter.

Even with ability to do so I become I a drifter

Noticing surveillance by authorities (Big Brother, Big Sister).

While Big Brother, Big Sister watching everything

Paranoia about being observed, justifying medicating.

I'm paranoid as fuck don't even question why I medicate

Leaving interpretation of verses to the listener.

It's up to you to determinate what my verses say

Emphasizing authenticity in expression.

It's uncut, young buck, we don't perforate

Asserting unaltered authenticity and not compromising.


I gotta question is there heaven for the reverend

Repetition emphasizing the pursuit of wealth and power represented by "dead presidents."

Are all my brethren really headed in the right direction

-

If I said it, then I meant it, where's the credit when it's due

-

They treat us just like some animals then throw us in a zoo

-

I gotta question is there heaven for the reverend

-

Are all my brethren really headed in the right direction

-

If I said it, then I meant it, where's the credit when it's due

Hey, RA The Sun God

Addressing and respecting RA The Sun God, reflecting on his influence and teachings.

I knew that you'd go far

-

In regard to the starts with the words that you jot

-

With the things you have taught

-

You done fought for the cause

-

Now with a round of applause

-

You've been brought out the fog, now look

-

I know these words can never bring you back

-

That being said I'm made to wonder who I pray to next

-

I'll try my best, as a part of your request

-

While I need to reinvest, all this time that I invest

-

Do my best cuz

-

Right now it feels there's nothing left bruh

-

I try and listen for your voice beneath the depth of

-

All the darkness and the light, at least what's left of it

-

It makes sense all these fucking dead presidents

-

I sit back, close my eyes, and try to reminisce

-

All the times you said you're gonna be successful kid

-

Said I'm relentless and it's all about perception kid

-

Well none the less, with your incentive, I respect that shit

Expressing respect for RA The Sun God's teachings.
