Lyrics and translation
Original
Swinging on home. Hi-ho with them poles in his hand.
Heart of stone flood oceans to sand. So cold I was gone but I'm here once again. Overstand.
Those crop circles not cornrows in my baby head. Ladybug in my viewfold. Olive branch.
Let's hear it for the man. A courage filled with a silk flow.
I love a bell pepper nose and piano fingers marigold. Black migratory patterns where niggas is gone.
Stories that nada couldn't duplicate. Is it too too late? You know I be known cousin.
Stay off the phone, on hold with no nothing. Swinging on home.
Everybody wanna feel something for the real ones who wasn't.
I can't control how it landed if it matter brother man. Ali, no high intended. Verse impact, ain't no on the other hand.
Sister girl, mean the world, I'll be dead to defend it. Fuck niggas scatter.
Damned if you do, damned if you didn't. Glory in pursuit. I need all my niggas. I need all my niggas.
Yellow cab out of LaGuardia. Some things don't change. Some things remain.
Finger in a socket. When I see the skyline my heart breaks. Sky the color of slate.
Gray evening gown. Her spine a ladder daring to climb.
I'm on it like a monitor 'cause she ain't mine. Can't be. But in my mind's eye I whisper myself a lie.
I can be in the corner. It was true when it left my fingertips. Cash only like '96.
Cigarettes in the bar. We was sick. Kissing in needle park.
I got a gig somewhere.
You know them artists, they always spreading.
Hey, how'd you get in here?
I think I'm always here.
Uh-huh. Nowadays. Nowadays. I'm out the way.
I'm out the way for my kids tryna bring it back, flip mode. All contact combat, dangerous.
We so, it be hard to stay on trap balance. Back home I'm an antique like an artifact.
Trust my hands getting old. Black ashes turn to dust. Classic though.
Missed calls in my call log I know. Mama getting old I know. Cops on the lawn I know.
Niggas dying I know. Niggas dead and gone into smoke. And I'm just dying. And I'm just trying. And
I'm just hustling more for them living folk. All that talk 'bout us.
But all that talk 'bout folk. All my folks them know 'cause all my dogs way up.
And it's been way too long. Another sad song, fuck your makeup.
I'm just tryna adjust, equalize my perspective like Constantine on the road. Same pain might as well be the same song.
Fuck it, just pay us. If it rain, let it sing. I'm tryna see my tears in gold.
My sister pain transformed. I'm tryna find my way back home. Through the maze still go.
When them candles turn to stone. Few days filling up on the side of the road.
Shit don't take that long. Just a few days. Getting hard to explain the decay.
I can't even explain. Damn, it's been too long. All this stuck in my brain. All this fake
Jerry Mag, Pettit is feeding. All this fake tough act, see I don't believe it.
When my niggas is demons. My limits is freedom. My action misleading.
Don't follow me, follow the most high. Everything bout perspective.
Which one of these fuck niggas you idolize? Tell me what you see. Niggas lie to me.
Love to look. Love to tell a lie. Can't play with me.
Can't play with me when you don't know your lines. At the same time directing how my behavior 'cause of play televising.
I think I come from a very strong history and I simply want to live on this planet and to continue that tradition and to try in my little way to make my ancestors proud.
