Building Minds Faster

[Hook]

I think I'm Malcolm X, Martin Luther

Add a King, add a Junior

Some Bible verses, a couple Sur'as

An AK-47, that's a revolution

Then, think I'm 2Pac, Bob Marley

Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey

Them the real ones, light a lighter for 'em

Let you know that I'm riding for 'em



Gonna get me some, a little more beat

Call your friends around, then call the police

I'm riding with my flow, it take up 4 seats

So I'm gonna ghostride - but with no sheets

One man by myself even then I'm 4 deep

Like hotel swimming pools that's 4 feet

These n*ggas like the rooms: so suite

Priceline: so cheap

I'm a cell phone, they some room keys

I'm some shell toes, they the shoestrings

I turn 'em off (I turn 'em off)

I take 'em out (I take 'em out)

I'm Reverend Run, with the laces out

My Adidas, so adios

"All Day I Dream" like I'm comatose

That's your ship sinking, and I'm so afloat

I'm T-Pain, I'm on a boat

Not the slave one, DiCaprio's, neither

Here the waves come, they started in the bleachers

So I'm swag surfin', the pool's getting deeper

You still sweet, though, here come them roomkeepers

Okay, I be the strings, you be the shoes

But guess what? Now they Jimmy Choos

I wear the pants, you in the Poohs

Yo' sh*t meows, my sh*t awoooooos

I got a fifth floor, call me Brother Man

Africa the set, yeah, that's the Motherland

For that BP I shed 50 tears

In Nigeria that oil been spilling for like 50 years

"50 years? Hell naw!"

Hell yeah! I'm tryna tell y'all

At this rate, n*ggas gonna lose

Can't search for water or grow your own food

Tell me what's gonna happen when them stores close

And ain't gon' open up no more?

That's the realest sh*t, yeah, you gon' feel that

Hunger's your enemy, but you can't kill that

N*gga, wake up, don't join the Army

Kill your own peoples, but fear Illuminati's

And they ain't even real, or are they?

But you wouldn't even know, because you partay

Too f*cking much, if you start to doubt

They already in your mind, and coming out your mouth

It's not a trick, n*gga, it's a trap

"Survival of the Fit" is what they aiming at

And n*ggas ain't fit (nope), fat as hell (yep)

Fat in mind (yep), body fat as well

Who use most the drugs? Americans!

What's in Afghanistan? Heroin!

You think that's by mistake? They can stop that?

Don't think you safe though, because you not black

Greed is colorblind, so I'm colorblind

They gon' f*ck with yours soon as they done with mine

They say I try too hard, verses overwhelm

I learned most of this from n*ggas sitting in jail

Where you think I'm from? From the streets, n*gga

Triple OGs, told me to teach, n*gga

And that ain't made up, that's a fact

They say that gangsta sh*t, is the sh*t I rap

Look who I attract, look at my inner circle

Buncha street n*ggas, and a couple Urkels

Look at my fan base, oh, yes

F*ck what Pro say, look at this protest

Where they do that at? (Huh?) Who they do that for? (Who?)

Must mean I'm doing bad, and things is moving slow

They talking revolution on public radio

They catch down in Houston, sitting on them 84s

Trae, what's up? ABN

Got your back, n*gga, sink or swim

Free Chilly Chill, shake off your masters

Pray to God, build your mind faster
