Lyrics
Book of A.O
And I ain't tryna be ungrateful
So for every single blessing
I just wanna say thank you
To every God I never prayed to
Cause somehow I made it out
And I don't look like what I came through
All them angles, all my angels
And my demons all entangled
Like Jada and Alcina
Like umbilical cord around fetus
But Thy will undefeated
Still born a fresh prince
Sweet baby Jesus
Tried to kill our innocence
Tried to massacre the ones
Outcast without the bars
Like a new blue sun
3000 A.D. till infinity beyond
Might not get it now
But they gon' feel it when it's done
When them trumpets blowin' loud
It's gon' sound like kingdom come
You find out who the God's
When they crown the realest one
We the chosen
I ain't the son of Joseph
But I part the sea like the son of Moses
Diagnosis, obsessive compulsive
Told me stop gamblin
I told him I ain't foldin
Book of A.O
The story's still unfoldin
Chuck got the wheels in motion
He put the bug in Buff ear
So Buff hit me like
Mack you gotta come through
We got some shit we gotta do
And I just finished the Hope album
You know I be on my artist shit
I wanted to unplug from the matrix for a second
But the first beat that sent me was Fire
So the next day I'm layin' my verse
I'm in the booth
And I get a call from my homie J-Balt
What happened
Damn
He told me Ty ain't wake up
So I just shut my phone off for a few days
And got lost in my own thoughts
Cause I remember one time
Ekhart Tolle was sayin
You wanna get close to God
You gotta listen to the blank spaces
Kinda like a meditation
Now I don't go to to church but
It felt like a rebirth
Like I was gettin' closer to me
Closer to God
I get these hymns from him
Baptized in the fire
The devil is a liar
They tell me I'm delusional
I'm heavy on inspired
Quiet as it's kept
I got a Choir in my cypher
The silence is a science
It's the highest of the powers
My mind was in Atlanta
But the flight was in Nevada
Called champ when I landed
Said I finally got the album
Recorded pure moments
And I knew it was a problem
Like in Houston Evolution
Had the whole room vibin
Hopped out the booth
Everybody head noddin
Looked down at the champ
He was damn near cryin
That's when I knew
I really needed that song
That with that supergas
A nigga like me needed bro
Cause I deserve that
Booker A.O
The 7 day genesis
This my life
It's really my life
Hey Buff I remember when
Chuck used to say you the greatest
Now I understand why
We made history
And I ain't talkin' in the present tense
I'm talkin' about a thousand years from now
Trust me it's gonna make sense eventually
