[English]

Can't stop spacing, oh no

Can't stop spacing, on a daydream

Can't stop spacing, and when I'm on the cloud

My feet square on the ground

My head up in the clouds, looking down, out of this town

You know I gotta try

My fucking brains on fire

Just gotta toke again, after that

Can't stop spacing out, oh no

Can't stop spacing, on a daydream

Yeah nigga, shoot 'em all, throw 'em right now

Starin' at ya sweatin' my wallys

My mind got vivid thoughts of what I'm supposed to be doin'

Got the blue and the cream, me and Rah blowin' steam

Sittin' with Tarrentin', nigga stackin' the green

Roll rockin', fan fuckin'

Snatchin' up mics at award shows, rollin' up O's

Wu clothes, my flows are so detrimental

Space cadet keep a cassette of instrumentals

Sling slang the track like 'dick the hoes'

Super intelligent, verbally diminish the pros

A visionary, my mind's like a rhyme war-zone

You can't postpone the inevitable, king of the thrones

Ghostface

My head up in the clouds, looking down, out of this town

You know I gotta try

My fucking brains on fire

Just gotta toke again, after that

Can't stop spacing out, oh no

Can't stop spacing, on a daydream

Can't stop spacing

Can't stop spacing, on a daydream

Can't stop spacing, oh no

Can't stop spacing
