[00:16.049]Everything's burning down
[00:21.061]When I close my eyes again
[00:26.929]Enemies all around
[00:32.012]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
[00:37.582]We go from Lira to Libra, from cold water to fever
[00:40.842]To World War III from the treaty signed in Geneva
[00:43.617]The biology teacher said we used to be amoebas
[00:46.304]The neighborhood preacher said we emerged from the ether
[00:49.218]We converged from urethra and struck gold, eureka
[00:51.871]The morning star Tariq, I was born to be a teacher
[00:54.531]Whether scorpion or the frog, the nature of the creature
[00:57.444]Is to evolve, though it's the savage beast we truly are
[01:00.118]My words should be studied up in Berklee and Juilliard
[01:03.050]All my bars is hard as solid gold bullion
[01:05.712]My name in the Quran like the kingdom of Suleiman
[01:08.391]You done lost your mind trying to call me a moulinyan
[01:11.315]'Cause in 2-1-5 where folks fight depression
[01:13.962]And wives pack protection, lives lack direction
[01:17.000]I'm a king, I'm dipped in God's Black complexion
[01:19.774]Survival of the fittest is the natural selection
[01:22.190]Now, bear down on the scene like I'm Saladin
[01:25.100]The stone courage esteem is aquamarine
[01:28.050]You mask how you really feel like it's Halloween
[01:30.976]Where they ask how you really feel about my machine
[01:34.670]In a class that I'm only in
[01:36.286]Alien, horsepower like a Mongolian
[01:39.201]Tryna find soul again
[01:40.531]But my thoughts corrupt the files that contaminate the console again
[01:43.728]It's a shame, but I cannot complain, though I am not the same
[01:47.213]My bandwidth is a canvas cut from His frame
[01:50.132]When I present ideas, naked and unashamed
[01:52.773]It's handwritten in Sanskrit on a 7 Train
[01:55.704]Everything's burning down
[01:59.946]When I close my eyes again
[02:06.338]Enemies all around
[02:11.429]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
[02:16.988]I've been through hoodies and sneakers to beepers and record features
[02:20.182]Hustlin' nicks of reefer to tusslin' with the reaper
[02:23.104]Sensory deprivation to ultimate synesthesia
[02:25.764]Freein' our brothers' keeper from teeth of another creature
[02:28.432]Breakin' and enterin' to the theater, the search and seizure
[02:31.344]Is the worth of genius, somewhere between Earth and Venus
[02:34.004]At her convenience, even non-believers make prayers
[02:36.913]Haters and naysayers is buried in cake layers
[02:39.568]I take day as a blessing and see the night as a lesson
[02:42.231]Twilight is a message for me to write a confession
[02:44.888]The matrix, a dominatrix seeking to be served
[02:47.820]Ever patiently waiting with the demons we deserve
[02:50.755]Better be willing to pay with every dream that you deferred
[02:53.140]If the vehicle should swerve, learn to lean into the curve
[02:56.058]After workin' up the nerve almost equal in size
[02:58.713]I walked around with the iron for any wrinkle in time
[03:01.365]I pay the piece of my mind for every nickel and dime
[03:04.029]But never less than a five and never slept on the job
[03:06.970]A killer dumped on your squad, yet never left the garage
[03:09.637]When your God was close enough to see the flesh of his eyes
[03:12.308]Get to the button and press, it's what the message advised
[03:14.949]What's a threat? Behind a mess is where the testament lies
[03:18.400]Everything's burning down
[03:23.191]When I close my eyes again
[03:29.308]Enemies all around
[03:33.858]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
