Bringing scope to these heavens

In my own space

My own fucking race

An alien bringing unity in your face

Tell me about your life

Tell me about your wife

Tell me about your trouble and strife

Tell me why you cry, tell me why you lie

Things you’v tried and how you stay fly

I still got sight, my brain’s still bright

Running on full or running on a track

Running like a tiger, I’m bringing stuff back

Earn that credit when thing go brat I’m that bitch and that’s that fact

If you want the sauce then I got it on tap

Don’t be messing with my blessing

A mind full of traps that’s set for the packs

Clearer than snakes that’s hidden in the hatch

Wild Wild East, North, South and West

If you need a rider than ya looking at the best (best, best, best)

Zoo girl, Zoo girl, Zoo girl, Zoo girl

In the street, in the street

Won’t you keep the peace for me?

You ain’t gang, don’t come this way

There’s levels to the rebels

And I’m good with a little trouble

But I’m done with you, throwing the pebbles

Better run with the tiger

And you better be a rider

Ain’t nothing ‘bout my life is subtle

Cut my losses, ball and chain

I don’t want no fakes speaking my name

You ain’t gang, we ain’t the same Step away, step away, don’t play this game

There’s lessons in the struggle Sometimes I think I love all You’re just going where there is trouble You can meet me in the middle Set up for a model That brings us to the bridge of this battle Cause you’re fighting in a place that’s already won I’m not gonna ask you where you got your gun

You’re hiding in a place that’s already found Hope you’ll realize this fakeness don’t count
