Ritual

[Verse]
Minding my business, tryna die of old age
It ain't strange, we arrive with no name given
So vain, John and Alice Coltrane
Kinda love don't stay, "Kick, Push", Lupe
Dupré, lose faith, gain heart
Two face, same marks
My fate, not yours
All praise, matriarch
All day, sit alone
Couldn't tell the two apart, giving all a nigga got
Bleeding in a hidden spot
Need what a nigga forgot, gin, tonic on the rocks
Spliff with the grabba
Dismissive, it's behind us
Been my own rival
Head up underwater, David Edgar with the goggles
A 9 like Ronaldo
Navy been a baller like Carlos Tévez
Mama, je t'aime, claro
Only question left is what to do with all the sorrow
Dorado with the avocado, habichuelas on the arroz
Do you follow?
Can't wallow or bellow
Horse hair on the cello, long notes to the dead rose
Cornrows, do the shimmy and the zigzag
All tied up, know karma got the last laugh
Skin color of an Aztec
Madness approach, real slower, the snail speed
Sloth, all hail greed
Sinbad, seen all seven seas
By all means, do what you got to do
It's blue, the true me
Cluse, reeking of perfume
To move brief is what I promise to do
I move these, the desolate monsoon
That ravage all that was in it's path, another full moon
In the sky, not a calm ride
The journey to the tune
Who am I kidding?
You could give a man a fish, or you could teach him how to get 'em
I got rhythm, I got spirit, I got wisdom
Got kingdom, went last minute another victim
Fear no man, get with the program
Southern California sun, my papa was a trojan
Had to hit the Heisman, Reggie was flying
Flipping in the endzone, jersey number five, lucky number four
This is do or die
Seen it all before, see the torture in my eyes
Hush puppies with the fish fry
Jealous niggas watching, they'll say a nigga big time
My brother ain't like shit, he was staying inside
I ain't like shit either, I was smoking three-five, in one sitting
Give a nigga ten minutes, clock ticking
Runtz with the perfect mixture
Boy was I addicted
It's all in the ritual, it's typical to risk it
It's typical to risk it, boy was I addicted
It's all in the ritual
