As the valley fills with smog
The sunsets look like simultaneous death and life
And yes I'm knifing through the traffic often
LA vet, yet stay humble in crossing
Paths with all my people pimping passion
Time is a friend of no man
As acid drips from the lips of the trolls and its tragic
Beating you down like a pound full of flesh
With your breath knocked out
Can't speak up for yourself
And I wanna look out
For the kings and the queens
And the kids in the streams
Fishing rod trying to catch them a dream
Each millimeter closer to the sun we burn
Can you feel the fever, good luck hard to earn
Got to have it, never satisfied that's my motto
Since third and Alvarado
That'll die when I'm gone, you get it?
Gotta get it, I gotta have it
The dream I'm dreaming is bigger better than any gadget
I get the money, I put it back in the music
That's where the magic happens
Cuz I'm the captain, the pilot
I steer this ship into the great unknown
I enter blackholes with both eyes closed
And one eye open, can you feel my soul
Its dense like iron vault doors
You know you felt it when my eyes caught yours
Lord please, I know there's more for me
I know that all that I see
Can't be all that I see
I know there's further degrees
I know it's hard to breathe
For the death of a dream
And the passage of time
When the way which I age
Can't affect the divine
So lord please, I know there's more for me
I know that all that I see
Can't be all that I see
I know that all that I see
Can't be all that I see
Shadows on the wall
Spiritually I ball
Physically I ball
Ballin' till the day is up
Get it up, get it on
The day is what you make it, what
Shadows on the wall
Spiritually I ball
Physically I ball
Ballin' till the day is up
Get it up, get it on
The day is what you make it, what
