Nigga, talk about something else, talk about something else Nigga, talk about something else I've admired many cities through the windows of hotels From the window of a plane I've seen the window of a cell The plane started to fly, the rain started to fell Thats LaGuardia and Rikers, a airport next to a jail I took a picture looked like my window was crying 'Cause it was sad 'cause all they saw every day was somebody flying And they was trapped, this shit is wack But it was crack under my wall like a plaque Keep yours eyes on the prize and your thumbs on the apps Facts, I wish that they was lying in their raps How does that transpire To be so damned by God, you want your friends to be goddamned liars? All we talk about are our goddamned priors Shiny metal boxes on top of goddamned tires Goddamned tired If I say I didn't indulge, my pants would be on goddamn fire 'Cause I'm a part of the problem Sometimes the P, sometimes the roblem Fame, all in the name of martyrdom (yeah) I wish that you were lying What's the difference between a posthumous album And a life insurance policy?
