[00:16.962]Everything's burning down
[00:21.228]When I close my eyes again
[00:27.501]Enemies all around
[00:32.269]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
[00:38.271]We go from Lira to Libra, from cold water to fever
[00:41.033]To World War III from the treaty signed in Geneva
[00:43.793]The biology teacher said we used to be amoebas
[00:46.554]The neighborhood preacher said we emerged from the ether
[00:49.317]We converged from urethra and struck gold, eurеka
[00:52.328]The morning star Tariq, I was born to be a teachеr
[00:54.792]Whether scorpion or the frog, the nature of the creature
[00:57.552]Is to evolve, though it's the savage beast we truly are
[01:00.563]My words should be studied up in Berklee and Juilliard
[01:03.074]All my bars is hard as solid gold bullion
[01:06.086]My name in the Q***n like the kingdom of Suleiman
[01:08.847]You done lost your mind trying to call me a moulinyan
[01:11.357]'Cause in 2-1-5 where folks fight depression
[01:14.369]And wives pack protection, lives lack direction
[01:16.627]I'm a king, I'm dipped in God's Black complexion
[01:19.387]Survival of the fittest is the natural selection
[01:22.399]Now, bear down on the scene like I'm Saladin
[01:25.411]The stone courage esteem is aquamarine
[01:28.423]You mask how you really feel like it's Halloween
[01:30.932]Where they ask how you really feel about my machine
[01:33.694]In a class that I'm only in
[01:36.455]Alien, horsepower like a M******an
[01:38.964]Tryna find soul again
[01:40.973]But my thoughts corrupt the files that contaminate the console again
[01:44.487]It's a shame, but I cannot complain, though I am not the same
[01:47.498]My bandwidth is a canvas cut from His frame
[01:50.260]When I present ideas, naked and unashamed
[01:53.021]It's handwritten in Sanskrit on a 7 Train
[01:55.782]Everything's burning down
[02:00.299]When I close my eyes again
[02:06.573]Enemies all around
[02:11.591]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
[02:17.864]I've been through hoodies and sneakers to beepers and record features
[02:20.625]Hustlin' nicks of reefer to tusslin' with the reaper
[02:23.135]Sensory deprivation to ultimate synesthesia
[02:25.895]Freein' our brothers' keeper from teeth of another creature
[02:28.656]Breakin' and enterin' to the theater, the search and seizure
[02:31.415]Is the worth of genius, somewhere between Earth and Venus
[02:34.175]At her convenience, even non-believers make prayers
[02:36.935]Haters and naysayers is buried in cake layers
[02:39.695]I take day as a blessing and see the night as a lesson
[02:42.456]Twilight is a message for me to write a confession
[02:45.218]The matrix, a dominatrix seeking to be served
[02:47.977]Ever patiently waiting with the demons we deserve
[02:50.738]Better be willing to pay with every dream that you deferred
[02:53.498]If the vehicle should swerve, learn to lean into the curve
[02:56.260]After workin' up the nerve almost equal in size
[02:59.021]I walked around with the iron for any wrinkle in time
[03:01.782]I pay the piece of my mind for every nickel and dime
[03:04.291]But never less than a five and never slept on the job
[03:06.801]A killer dumped on your squad, yet never left the garage
[03:09.812]When your God was close enough to see the flesh of his eyes
[03:12.572]Get to the button and press, it's what the message advised
[03:15.332]What's a threat? Behind a mess is where the testament lies
[03:18.344]Everything's burning down
[03:22.860]When I close my eyes again
[03:29.387]Enemies all around
[03:34.154]I don't understand, my friend, my friend
