This little light I hold, I take it everywhere that I go (x4)
My surly sordid, intellect supported
Home grown importance, knows it’s ignored
Birth from a portal, born into orbit
Caught in a wrinkle, scored in accordance
To break with regard to every single hard truth
Man walk a thin line, find that’s a smart move
Guy got a wide scope, ballet on egg shells
Jackhammer at sunrise, sun set he sets sail
I guess it’s just as well
Considering there’s some rings you can’t unbell
It ain’t an issue, if you misuse, nobody gonna miss you
As zero as it gets to
Caught in a wrinkle, broke on a thought
Ready for upgrade, waiting a lot
And when it happens and things get alarming
Know we’ve learned to imitute you exartly
Oh, why oh why, would you do that
Thinking it’s all downhill from here
It’s all downhill from here
Have mercy, praise the lord
The good intentions spread like agent orange
They say sink with the ship, stay the course
But I ain’t built with that blood from the days of yore
Yeah there’s chips in the tablets, holes in the old scrolls
Kids going bat shit and foes in the dojo
Me and mine build homes from the throne stones
Plan against the hand in control of the snow globe
Gusty, gutsy, grit to the gristle, trust me
Pretty as a mah fucker when it’s getting ugly *ugh
Throwing deuces with a doobie, keep peaceful
Better bet that saint like smile ain’t sheep's wool
Stage fright, nothing quite as jarring as a stumble from the
Great heights, nothing quite as freeing as the dreams of the
Caged life, nothing quite bright as the Gods in the late night
Ain’t no shame in the way it goes
Yup, yup, ordering what’s what
Wondering wise why’s, distributing tough love
Side wind in the sandstorm, picture the route
And it looks like Dali done figured it out
