[00:10.15]Yeah
[00:10.90]I'm 23, but I still bring 'em to you
[00:12.95]I flipped the sample out the drums then I give 'em the truth
[00:15.43]The same me, mother****er -- don't you get it confused
[00:18.13]The last album raised the bar, but this gon' tear off the roof
[00:20.88]Read all about it, get your fix in, I'm independent
[00:23.13]Ain't got a deal, but I can tell you what the deal is
[00:25.88]These labels try to make us millionaires
[00:27.57]But they ain't feel us if the glass is half empty
[00:29.78]I'm coming back to fill it, yeah
[00:31.13]You got me in my feelings and I'm putting in time
[00:33.39]And I been a bunch of places and I'm still 'bout mine
[00:36.00]I could go and write an album 'bout a topic
[00:38.25]Go and drop it
[00:38.99]And I guarantee that half of these people still have a one track mind
[00:42.18]Don't waste my time
[00:42.96]You know I just adjust like that
[00:44.81]Don't know why they so impressed with all that ****-boy rap
[00:47.41]Don't know why they so impressed with all that frat-boy rap
[00:50.19]No pun intended, but your album sounds rushed like that
[00:52.76]Man, we're just ordinary people, yeah
[00:55.34]The last album was a story -- this the sequel
[00:58.04]I'm in a room full of people that I love
[01:00.37]And I ain't ****ing stopping 'til all of us are equal
[01:03.56]Everybody on the right side hit that sway
[01:06.18]Everybody on the left do the same old thing
[01:08.86]Talk is cheap, but, just know, my time sure ain't
[01:11.55]I hope the blind man dance and the deaf one sing
[01:14.09]I hope the world keeps spinning
[01:15.64]And my friends keep winning
[01:16.95]And my parents keep living
[01:18.34]And the bad stop sinning
[01:19.56]Lil' Wayne keeps spitting, and, when push comes to shove
[01:22.43]Would you turn your shoulder, or would you learn to love?
[01:34.84]And, if I only had sixteen bars
[01:36.88]Number one is for my family
[01:38.54]Second for my sister
[01:39.67]And the third for my granny
[01:41.17]Four for my cousins, went
[01:42.50]Five for my brothers, and
[01:43.75]Six, seven, eight is dedicated to my mother, yeah
[01:46.78]Nine's for my Dad -- he's always got my back
[01:48.94]I mean, every single show and tour -- he booked all that
[01:51.51]Number ten's for the labels that skipped it until they heard this
[01:54.57]We ain't forget you meeting, we skipped it on ****ing purpose, dog (ooo)
[01:58.01]The next one's for my girl tho
[02:00.13]That's why I changed up my tempo
[02:01.86]And number twelve would be a laugh and I'd just end it at that
[02:04.92]Load the drums in, and bring it right back, yeah
[02:07.36]The last four are for the truth, but it don't sell enough records
[02:10.26]So I would try to keep it catchy and disguise that I'm clever
[02:12.75]But you won't hear it at a party or the radio ever
[02:15.50]They wanna listen to something that don't require no effort
[02:18.20]And I done ran outta room, so I talk on the end
[02:21.02]But all they want's the hook, so I make it real quick
[02:23.71]If the world started burning, would we put it out together?
[02:26.45]Or would we still fight with one another?
[02:28.99]Everybody on the right side hit that sway
[02:31.58]Everybody on the left do the same old thing
[02:34.14]Talk is cheap, but, just know, my time sure ain't
[02:36.83]I hope the blind man dance and the deaf one sing
[02:39.49]I hope the world keeps spinning
[02:40.92]And my friends keep winning
[02:42.27]And my parents keep living
[02:43.62]And the bad stop sinning
[02:44.93]Lil' Wayne keeps spitting, and, when push comes to shove
[02:47.64]Would you turn your shoulder, or would you learn to love?
[03:12.30]Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[03:17.80]Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[03:23.10]Someday, we'll put it together and get it all done
[03:28.41]Someday, when your head is much lighter (Ooo)
[03:34.17]Someday, we'll walk in the rays of the beautiful sun
[03:38.97]Someday, when the world is much brighter
[03:44.43]Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[03:49.84]Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[03:54.10]Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[04:00.27]Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[04:05.70]Yeah, this ain't a rant -- I'm just passionate
[04:07.91]The God that I believe in don't make accidents
[04:09.86]So God, while you watch my latest verse
[04:11.67]I know I never go to church
[04:13.02]But I just pray this ain't the year I have to lay in a hearse
[04:15.63]It's July thirty-first of two-thousand-seventeen
[04:18.16]I'm in a studio in Indi wearing Nike's and some jeans
[04:21.06]And I'm broke than a *****, drive a old Mazda 6
[04:23.66]But it's better than a coupe 'cause I can fit all my friends
[04:26.31]Joey made it out the pen, but I was working on this
[04:28.86]By the time I got it finished, he went right back in
[04:31.52]Let him down as a friend, didn't get the help that he needs
[04:34.20]And the system failed him when they sent him back for some weed
[04:36.98]Man, it's July thirty-first and Donald Trump is on the news
[04:39.68]He fired his Chief of Staff and we're all hella confused
[04:42.35]And look, I ain't the type to really rap about no politics, but how the **** is Donald Trump our president?
[04:47.11]I digress
[04:48.15]Yeah, and there's a lot of social unrest
[04:50.57]Remember that a conversation's progress
[04:52.57]So talk to your neighbor, talk to a stranger
[04:55.10]Love a little harder, do someone a favor
[04:57.75]I know that I ain't perfect
[04:59.22]I know I make mistakes
[05:00.42]I know that you ain't perfect
[05:01.85]'Cause we one in the same
[05:03.12]I know you feel sad
[05:04.39]And I know you feel alone
[05:05.58]Because everybody does
[05:06.96]Don't be scared to use the phone, yeah
[05:08.79]Man, it's July thirty-first and I'm sweating in the booth
[05:11.69]And there's people in the industry that want me to lose
[05:14.22]But they a little too late, only love me to hate
[05:16.87]I done found my way, so can't nobody get in my way
[05:19.47]Yes, it's July thirty-first and I'm 'bout to wrap this song up -- it's a pretty long one, yeah
[05:25.46]Heh, I'm sorry I had to detox
[05:27.94]So, pardon me while I step off of my soapbox
[05:30.64]But, to the listener, this one's for you
[05:33.09]If we ain't never met: nice to meet you, I'm Q
[05:35.66]All my friends call me "Mitch", and you should, too
[05:38.16]I make music for a living
[05:39.63]I'm no different than you
[05:40.78]But what I really wanna say
[05:42.26]No matter where you stay
[05:43.66]No matter what you do or no matter what you're paid
[05:46.39]No matter who you love and no matter who you hate, yeah
[05:49.57]I just hope you live your best life
[05:54.27]Yeah
[05:55.20]I hope you live your best life
[05:56.75]If the world started burning, would we put it out together?
[05:59.78]Or will we still fight with one another?
