Definition: Having dreams of neuromancer / Or nightmares it's so complex / Await for Colgate and bad credit / Putting dollars on the odds of god / I scratch the 'Loose Change" / Grey suede Pumas and mic booth fame / To have or have not / 40 ounces and Hemingway books / The toll chemistry takes when it went from raw to cooked / 8 main ridin' eyein' barren cityscapes / toxic Great Lakes fishing for the quickest sedatives / Corner store scripts for mall liquor medicine / It's all repetitive. Shuteyes: Now watch us get paid kicking' broke lines / This we waiting' praying for some cosign / Lo minds. Diluted hopes and cold crimes / The voice around the world / But I've been home the whole time / In the lab squeezing' the fentanyl / Dip my bic into the extract to end it all / Cut a quick record, kill the game, young professional / Tell ya girlie: she goon' never get the testicles / Bitch's better know I'm wifed up / (wifed up. yes) Don't get it fucked up my love life is fresh / I judge success by how many records you press / God bless. No, I bless microphone maniacally / No middle ground, it's either peace or ultra-violently / Check the clock work - time to break the orange hairs / I'm dreaming' of the dungeon at the beck in some lawn chairs / Somethin' wrong here / No chill. No Tan / P itch black, as I rap, ghosts grill the whole camp / Quasi-lifted murder tracks 'fore he wakes from his nap / Oh damn. Shut. 15 minutes and we in the hall of fame / bang bang. 15 minutes and we in the hall of fame / It's all repetitive.
