[Verse 1] From out of left field This delivery comes But if you knew my life Its how the story goes These woes whoa, man! Woman Im trynna be clear But the looking glass shatters In a cloud of tears through your hide And tears that you hide behind Poor little thing with an Empire State of Mind These affairs aint fair at this point in time When everything I just said Was for the sake of rhyme one time Two time for those who dont listen Three times for the individuals whos hearings been missing Im trynna break it down for yall exactly where I reside 9, back to 1, plus three, if you wit me hifive Double it up so we can get to 10 with the deuces Its a special time, seven shy of 100, I didnt choose this Life, but this life chose me, unbeknownst Time to show love to the people and city that I cherish the most [Hook] Eastern Standard Time? Nah, Every Single Time East Coast, Beast Coast, word every single time West Coast, Weak Coast oh, every single time Ya boy aint trynna beef, its just for the sake of rhyme We the standard, alright always time to shine Because the city never sleeps, my brothas stay on the grind It was on Friday afternoon that I watched the sun rise And from then on [Verse 2] From then on, smokestacks wrote back in the form of pollution The only pillar in my life now is my intuition Im kinda scared, though what if Im incorrect?

Black rock. Math rock Just shocked the system with static electricity On my superhero flow, Im saving the circuit city To all the old stores that I used to roam And all the glazed donuts from Stop and Shop, I say Oh man, here we go with the nostalgic flow Running through my veins and my nose to blow Similar to the paychecks, wrecking the deposit direct I perfected imperfect travelers expense, flyin [Hook] [Skit]
