Scared! Memories is medicine The past make me reticent Like elephants to Edison Wish I had a sedative Wish I wasn't pessimist Shocks of mighty threaten him 'Cause of melanin My mind racing circuits like Danica Eyes tracing steps up to Canada 'Cause we never getting back to Africa Med saying, "We can't be bought" But what's the price when you already caught Nostalgia cinema Roots is enigma Black nigga, pain past my ten figures Tryna catch us by the toe Never reap what we sowed 'cause I let them use the scythe first 2020 sights to see the future first And I'm grown, I'm grown But my flowers ain't Flooded like the Saints in the '05 hurricane Headed to the hills with my mama on cocaine Can't smile at the past when I see it Mistake my past as seen it 'Cause what was ain't what it really seem Maybe pain is what we really mean Or maybe- is what I really need (Gas what I smoke, nigga!)
