Lyrics
Stepped out like Scooby-Doo and the gang
With a sack of trees as the case completes, the villains knew the name
We was stuck in chillums with that lame
Back when dime sacks was a thing
Now we glide 'cross skies like Liu Kang, no shame
We carry the state on our back like new quarter change
Rats was at him like Elmira to Maximillian
I was focused on the craft, I knew racks was in the cards (I knew it)
Sorta mutant, I seemed to see through the ceiling
Some homies hid under tables, my head was
Up in the stars (Up in the stars, nigga)
That's real large
I know niggas that caved in but still Gods
Some said it's preprogrammed, some state it's up to Allah
You ask me, it's all part the mirage
Ahaha
(Don't think it wasn't when he walk)
Who's that?
It's Chris and Q in the Subaru
(Don't think it wasn't when he walk)
(Yeah, yeah)
Mirage
(Yeah, yeah)
I thought I saw a fountain
I thought I saw me on the other side of the seesaw mounted
Bouncing on the up and up, counting downers
The rate flounder flat to bring you '
Round the bend and back, but now what?
The hour's nigh, the alibi doesn't add up, you out of time, fried
Like halibut with two sides, smizin' for the camera
I surmise the lie what did the damage
Had to leave you where the treatise was signed
And switch the plan up, boundaries get redefined
I read the vines, it's a madness, we hackin' limes
Sink my teeth way past the meat into the rind when I grab it
The bittersweetness of times I wish to capture
Abandon reason for the slime of greener pastures
They tried to leave me, couldn't find me when I finally answered
Tiny dancer, hold me close and don't be sliding backwards
Forward further like Akai told me on the toehead
The soul's planted, the hands scrape the sky
When the chances that the medevacs left was hella high
We hit the tavern for some gin and rye
Whiskey gingerly applied
The image shifted side to side in the distance
You trippin' over lines, slippin', we bent 'em
(Don't think it wasn't when he walk)
Mirage
(Yeah, yeah)
Lost friends in the darkness
Mirage
(We all walkin')
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah, hit me in the heart one day, it's just words
A string of letters I smashed together
Some random sequence called sarcastic weather
Inshallah could last forever
I don't have to be here, but I made it through, through a maelstrom
The director's cut might not even make the album cut
That's where the melanated melancholy styles from
Fly birdy, fly, be as wise as the owl
Keep the eye of a falcon that's eyein' the sparrow
I know my daughter's watchin', I know you watch me
I know the time's rocky, I know it's hard to remember it blurred
December was brr, my ten toes dig in the dirt
Feelin' the Earth, I'm willin' to merge
Fourth-quarter final moxie, it was
Dark like the life of Gomme, oh Lord
Then a spark, then the scent of sinch rosemary
When reality bit, it pierced my heart
We're lifted, hardships my soul carried
A voice close near me said, "Don't be so scary, enjoy your thirties"
Listen, I'm still looking for father figures around me
And even niggas who clown me
The last laugh is a nectar, but the sweetest get back
Is being completely free, completely me
The smell of burnt sage let the seasons reap
Don't overthink it, we leave frequently
(Don't think it wasn't when he walk)
Mirage
(Yeah, yeah)
Mirage
(Yeah, yeah)
Mirage
Yeah, it feels good to be back
I spend most of my days now in my garden
Growing food and medicinal plants
And shit that we smoking on now type of thing
And pondering the next moves, you know what I'm saying?
Like, what the fuck is going on out here?
We all know something is, you know, around the corner
And we feel it in our souls, it's manifesting itself in our art, even
The movies we make is largely dystopian and post-apocalyptic
I think we are just tryna make sense of it somehow
And that's cool
Sometimes it just be them seasons
Predatory capitalism and all the -isms, you know what I'm saying?
And everybody's fed up and people don't know what to do
So we make our art, and art is beautiful
But art is also the truth
So we know you know, come on, you know
You know you know you know
So what is you doing about it?
Most people just waiting for something to happen without
Even preparing for anything, you know what I'm saying?
Right now, Ukraine power off
Venezuela, they shut the power off
Just this week, forty-four million people, South America, power off
That's how we start modern warfare nowadays
You just cut the power and the internet off
Get out one week without your little faucet running
And your little water coming out
Your refrigerator not being on and shit
Your diabetes medication not being cold
And you assed out
Make your actions match your ambitions to survive
You need to get ready like we are
That means being in shape
That means being in touch with your
Ancestors and your spirituality, you feel me?
What's gon' come to pass is what's gon' come to pass
All that voting and all that shit, you can do
That, that's cool, but that ain't gon' stop it
It's just already on the way, you know what I'm saying?
So just buckle up, have a good time, you know
Security is largely a superstition
It does not exist in nature
Life is either a grand adventure or nothing, baby
Go have your adventure 'cause I'm having mine
Big Sin, peace out, one love
