Lyrics
Yo, I'm from another planet, though currently I'm stranded here
Where I see people clearly takin' everything for granted
Where every time I lift my ship up off the ground it's landin'
To my disadvantage, though, maybe I am but a gambit
In hell to another standard, if I'm completely candid
I fell in love with the language like a hopeless romantic
I just play the dynamics, or play and pray it's organic
This has been my reality, maybe I'm schizophrenic
Maybe I'm just a candidate havin' his chip implanted
Maybe this is a fantasy, maybe I'm disenchanted
What if they just abandon me? Maybe it's how they planned it
Crazy, there's still a scar on my shoulder where I was branded
The protocol is overhauled, I am not a know-it-all
But I need more than motor oil, signage on the broken door
Said sayonara, au revoir, I'm already spoken for
Focus on finally doin' somethin' on my own accord
These dreams know me
At least, I'll forever be
My soul, you're good Naki
You probably don't know how to read
There's just no trees, no need
At least, I'll forever be
My soul, you're good Naki
You probably don't know how to read
They's just a part of me
Call it Boston, comin' Orson
They must be blind as fortune
To make such major orphans, and get yours and mine in portions
And I'm one of the corpses inside a designer coffin
We find more Philly's Northside, that sucks behind a dolphin sometime
They try to soften the blow, but it's not as often
As life'll have you starvin' and sufferin' from heat exhaustion
Upon the line I see there, it's harder for me to cross it
Unless the universe take a hold of my hand and force it
The protocol is overhaul, show me what you're zonin' on
How you gon' get in touch with your spirit when this phone is off?
How they back you into a corner then hold that over ya'll?
Then expect me to show this love that wasn't shown to ya'll
Signage on the closin' doors, said, "This ain't even home to ya'll"
Now, I see that door remorse so sayonara, au revoir
Just get me to that pyramid, my flyin' saucer floatin' towards
'Cause I'm laser focusin' on doin' somethin' on my own accord
These dreams know me
At least, I'll forever be
My soul, you're good Naki
You probably don't know how to read
There's just no trees, no need
At least, I'll forever be
My soul, you're good Naki
You probably don't know how to read
They's just a part of me
