[Intro]
Come here, girl
Oh, you want me to touch you right there?
Oh, like a little lamb
Playing your hair
Oh, you want it? Oh, you want it right now?
Like that? I got you, baby
All on you, baby
Push it back on daddy
Push it back on daddy, baby
[Verse 1]
I seen it vividly, jogging my brain memory, life no—
I seen it vividly jogging my brain memory
Life no longer infinity, this was the final calling
No birds chirping or flying, no dogs barking
We all nervous and crying, moving in caution
In disbeliefs our belief's reason for all this
The tallest building plummet, cracking, and crumbling
The planet shaking, swallowing young woman
With a baby, daises, and other flowers burning in destruction
The smell is disgusting, the heat is unbearable
Preachers touching on boys, run for cover, they're paranoid
Rapists and murderers hurdle alleys
Valleys and high places turn into dust, famous screaming in agony
Atheists for suicide, planes falling out the sky
Trains jumping off the track, mother's yelling, "He's alive!"
Backpedaling Christians settling for forgiveness
Evidence all around us, the town is covered in fishes
Ocean water dried out, fire burning more tires out
Tabernacle and city capital turned inside out
Public bathroom, college, classroom's been deserted
Another trumpet has sounded off and everyone heard it
[Verse 2]
It's happening
No more running from world wars
It's happening
No more discriminating the poor
It's happening
No more bad bitches and real ****
Wishing for green and gold the last taste of allure
I swore I seen it vividly
A moniker of war from heaven that play the symphony
Thunder like number four, then I heard
"What have you did for me?"
I fell to my knees, pulled out my resume
Then did it back to June 17th, 1987
My paperwork was like a receipt
I was valedictorian, I was fearful of judgment
But confident I had glory in all my past endeavors
Close my eyes, pray to God that I live forever
Dark skies, fire and brimstone, some of us sent home
Some of us never did wrong, but still went to hell
Geez Louise, I thought you said that I excel
I made 'To Pimp a Butterfly' for you
Told me to use my vocals to save man-kind for you
Say I didn't try for you, say I didn't ride for you
I tithed for you, I pushed the club to the side for you
Who love you like I love you?
Crucifix, tell me you can fix
Anytime I need, I'ma start jotting everything in my diary
Never would you lie to me
Always camaraderie, I can see
Our days been numbered
Revelation greatest as we hearing the last trumpet
All man, child, woman, life completely went in reverse
I guess I'm running in place trying to make it to church
[Outro]
Young **** act a ass
Young **** act a fool
Young **** get your cash
Young **** do what it do
Young **** go, young **** go
Young **** go, young **** go
Whatever makes all of you happy in this bitch
Just take it all back before the light switch
