In another parallel timeline
We could live life & it's full of abundance
And not have to worry about funding and budgets
People would care about climate control
Put in some time in to fix the environment
School and some health care for all would be free
We could be set up for early retirement, I think
In another parallel timeline
Aye, I could be black without being hated
I don't need a strap when I get anxious
Cuz we wouldn't have to trap
And the system would have our back
Is it too much to ask for that
I guess it is damn, but really though
I don't know why you keep blessing me
Despite the times you been testing me
And I do not believe in destiny
But sometimes I feel like this was meant for be, like this was meant for me
Nowadays I got no time for nobody disrespecting me
You ain't fuckin with the legacy, aye
All the shots sent for me they never get to me
Focused on what I'm prepared to be
Fake friends are dead to me
Give up an arm and a leg to see my dogs with equity
And I am so cut throat I come for ya neck
Reason why they'll never be ahead of me
I came out the streets like its Sesame
Selling weed, stacking my bills like I'm Bellamy
In another parallel timeline, aye
You'd be at home and not in the pin
Or come on the road when I'm on a trip
I'm tired of conversations through the glass
Monitored phone calls are a pain
Seeing my own dogs in some chains
Make me wanna go O-dog in this thang, but I think
In another parallel timeline
You'd still be here and we would be kicking it
It's been some years and I'm still feeling it
I miss you dearly but death is so imminent
You was my brother your life was so innocent
Can't make another your price too expensive
Sometimes I wonder but now I accept it damn
And if that makes me selfish I don't mind it
Said if that makes me selfish I don't mind it
Cuz I can't help it if I'm reminded
Who is you
This ain't nothing but a Rubik's cube, gotta spin the block
Pack a bag tryna spend the night
Vagabonds we was kin to that
Eyes on you like a Venonat
Shit changed with the internet
Shit changed peep the energies, it be enemies getting intimate
Nigga, flows keep getting intricate
Pray for peace still keep a piece, nigga, piece of me want incident
Piece of me want Benjamins
Piece of me want innocence
The whole of me want negatives and increment no lump sum
Dump a lot if I dump sumn
In another parallel timeline
I could pay some more bus stops
Movements wouldn't be hush hush
I'd be taking more trust falls
Better ratio with love lust
Know the moment that they drugged us
Know the moment we unplugged us
In another parallel timeline
I wouldn't be nervous when I see impalas
Still deal with PTSD and some trauma
Come from the hood where the only thing promised is death
Don't mean to bother you resting in peace but I wish we could hop on a call for a sec
Or you could respond to a text
And if that makes me selfish I don't mind it, yea
Said if that makes me selfish I don't mind it
Cuz I can't help it if I'm reminded
