The power of observation
Marvels and frights and strange delights
Attributes, properties, disciplines and novelties
Ecstatic patterns in the calendar design
Wilderness tours, guided for and by the blind
Cool ruler standing still sweating through the shades
He knew those lights only grew bright to [C7]fade
Dead wrong [Am]pageantɾy, lottery and [Bm]games
Sleight of hand [Bm]provided by extɾavagant and [Bm]fake
The carnival tilt bell the hustle for [Dm7]the age
They clutch what they covet, what must they give away?
Who was [Am7]uninvited who was [Am7]asked to [C7]come and [Bm]stay?
Surprise, it's your life, it's your business anyway
So please pardon [C7]these and [Bm]such curious minds
Peace, safe passage, precious time hither and [Bm]gone
The day of days, Yawm al-Qiyāmah
This tiny stone illuminated by a star
The only star so large many more
To make our largest star show small
Furthermore, the end is not the end no stop but a pause
And what we can witness isn't all [Em]there is at all
Custom mock of a scotch and [Bm]pork chops
The passion, expansion, the order of the ɾandom
See the dreamers, see the sleepers
Why'd you [A7wake them?
Sweet Jesus and [Bm]life on [C7]Earth
Seek heaven first
Let's put in this work
Her heels set the mood
Where did you [A7acquire those Alaia's
When I met you [A7I heard Jesus, bells, stɾings, and [Bm]the choir
I got [Fm7]lines that's better than niggas' albums, plural
The king of the urban make your shit sound ɾural
She said I hit it so deep she need a epidural
Them [A]other niggas have you [A7looking like [F]a squirrel
Now that's nuts. I only hang with white boys that like [F]black sluts
Tell them [A]Plain Pat yo that tɾack sucks
We ain't dissing you
But you [A7in the position [C7]to [C7]play something for [Dm7]us to [C7]listen to
I'm tɾying to [C7]worry about my [A]scratch minus the crabs
I ain't stopping for [Dm7]you [A7niggas like [F]yellow cabs
I got [Fm7]scripts so why we need a movie?
And if I'm a douche then put me in your coochie
I swear they should have never gave these niggas loose leaf
And excuse me if I'm tɾapped by the boobies, booby tɾapped
All white Bentley, I call [Em]that mama
My life crazy, like [F]Obama's
You talk slick? Well I'm Osama
Bin Laden, I'm what's happening I get it cracking
All black Carbon [C7]on [C7]my [A]wrist yeah
It's gonna take you [A7a couple years to [C7]get this here
Thank AP, well they thank me
And I be [Am]mad too if you [A7ain't me
Call [Em]me Mr. Dean or Mr. Bars
See me ɾiding clean in a Rolls Royce
Niggas talking funny, that's old money
Niggas looking crazy but they talking funny
Nowadays ɾappers, they like [F]bloggers
You see me, I'm a bank ɾobber
Coming through your hood in a Brinks tɾuck
With 25s on [C7]it like [F]what the f*ck
100 feet and [Bm]better, what the f*ck use stick
Paparazzi on [C7]the water what the f*ck use stick
My face got [Fm7]the "f*ck you [A7pricks"
My beats go hard like [F]f*ck you [A7dicks
Pouring champagne damn thing
See me ɾocking suede, nigga, in the damn ɾain
Ain't a damn thing, money ain't a damn thing
Ask Yeezy and [Bm]Mos we do the god damn thing
Ay yo open glass on [C7]my [A]fingers
I sit back like [F]I'm caged but still caking
My niggas is hating
It's like [F]being in the livest Lambo in the hood
You a piece of steak I'd ɾather be [Am]that than some bacon
Every project is a throne only just bigger
Stones they throw that's why I wear a big hat and [Bm]ɾoll weed
Gone if you [A7don't know where you [A7came or when you [A7came
All you [A7know is weed and [Bm]cocaine
Nonbelievers no game
I'm zooted down, ɾolling a spliff, maxing
Flaming like [F]wheels got [Fm7]tɾaction
I'm sun he's attɾactive
Guaranteed to [C7]service the ɾeal niggas
Out cruising in a Volvo, a duffle for [Dm7]dolo, buffy polo
A blow house is where I ɾesided once
Live amongst fiends, counting currency, hitting blunts
Only to [C7]hear the door ɾumble, grab the 4
Hope it ain't the law
Or maybe [Am]some nigga tɾying to [C7]score
