| If all it took was luck I would already be struck |
| Yeah caught by the good life waiting to wake up |
| But it’s more like disaster born as a bastard |
| Turned into king or the dreams that you’re after |

| These days have been crazed I’ve been raised |
| In the city of angels that’ve been slayed |
| Men played the children games with real guns |
| Cops n' robbers and cowboys and Indians |
| I survive to twenty-five in the sun |
| Under the moon in the twilight with my hearts drum |
| Beating the same beat my ancestors came from |
| (And there is only one x2) |
| Pow-wow circles and peace pipes |
| Greet a storyteller spelling out the key to life |
| My shell’s a gun now still I carry them |
| And my spirit not the dirt that they’re buried in |
| I’ve grown very thin living off of bread and water |
| Books, paintings, film and sex (and the marijuana) |
| And the music that’s been therapeutic for the trauma |
| My songs bring me clarity they also make me wander |
| Now I’m standing in the London fog |
| I think I Lost Angeles and I smell the smog |
| My mind drifts to Amsterdam I see the dawn |
| I’m in my beach house in Cape Town then flash it’s gone |
| If all it took was luck I would already be struck |
| Yeah caught by the good life waiting to wake up |
| But it’s more like disaster born as a bastard |
| Turned into king or the dreams that you’re after |

| Rats n' mice with wings circle above |
| Pigeon or dove, who even really gives a fuck? |
| The names that you call for it all |
| Hear me grunt about the things I saw (I can still see em') |
| A careful widening rings a being |
| Bare feet on the hardwood floor |
| About to kiss the ceiling |
| I’m sick of kneeling I need a prayer I can walk through |
| Into the house built from everything I thought I ruined |
| If this the house where the couch at? |
| Try’na smoke a sack and write raps |
| Cut an opening above where the mics at |
| But sunlight slips right past |
| I wrote the illest shit you’ve never heard |
| Then left it in the street as an offering |
| Underneath the wing of a dead bird |
| Gemini be the shepherd and the herd |
| Both sides, deep down in the same spine |
| Should’ve fallen by the waist side |
| But I crawled out bass side |
| I spit wine through the grape vine |
| Here’s the hope that my faith dies |
| I see the rope that it hangs by |
| If all it took was luck I would already be struck |
| Yeah caught by the good life waiting to wake up |
| But it’s more like disaster born as a bastard |
| Turned into king or the dreams that you’re after |
