Peep what I say
00:20
Everyday the sun sets just like clockwork
00:21
To put the Glock to work
00:24
And putting the body to standstills
00:25
Man it kills me
00:26
Taking that life is like taking a shit
00:27
Hit or miss, niggas are playing God
00:28
Trying to rob and steal
00:30
That's why you gotta guard yo' grill
00:32
Like a barbecue 'cause them harming you
00:33
Are just like honeybees swarming you
00:36
Vocally arming you was my responsibility
00:37
It's killing me thinking that all these niggas see they flauging
00:39
Thinking they Steven Seagal and balling
00:41
Falling to the wayside when you try to call, I've fallen
00:43
When we was little nappy headed niggas in the projects
00:46
But now they carjacks, wait on income tax and unsafe sex
00:49
Still yet they tend to flex, like solo for the lo-lo
00:52
Smoke same thing, no-no, not this time
00:55
Niggas around my way can rhyme
00:56
So fuck that country shit, we done a bunch of shit
00:58
And yes you heard of this out of this world like E.T.
01:00
Coming across yo' T.V
01:02
Extraterrestrial, straight from A-T-L
01:03
Are you alien?
01:13
Out of this world
01:17
Are you alien?
01:23
Out of this world
01:28
Right now I'm smiling, taking advantage of this moment
01:41
'Cause there might not be another soon
01:44
Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars
01:45
Tightly 'cause I'm slightly off my rocker
01:48
But to you I may appear to be yo' average Joe
01:49
But little do you know that even Joe got problems that he gots to joust with
01:52
Floating in this game of life despite how out of place you may feel
01:55
In this race oh you just can't quit
01:58
Ain't that a bitch that be in heat
02:01
I'm on the beat like cops
02:02
Only cultivate the stable dirt when I skeet my drops
02:03
No concentrating knocking other niggas out the box
02:06
Why? 'Cause in a sense see we all be kind of fly
02:09
Just can't be scared to spread yo' wings, head to better things
02:11
Maybe the mockingbird and nightingale they want to sing
02:13
Keeping this thing alive, to the table's what we bring
02:16
We like hailstorms and blizzards in the middle of the spring
02:19
Extraterrestrial, out of this world
02:22
Are you alien?
02:34
Out of this world
02:38
Are you alien?
02:44
Out of this world
02:49
