Yo When I was monumental, I was tatted up and bad as fuck And dreamin' of scenarios where serotonin laughed at us Psilocybin with the hybrid, baby couldn't pass it up Coochie cutters in the concert with the lights on And maybe I'll play the right song and tell you my secret I used to swim in the dungeon, where Moses pled her allegiance Harriet happiness, I hibernate the masochist Every slave in a slave town ready to bleed, God Married a tree top for money and new crib Your daddy just lost his, petty capitalism Niggas are broke for a livin' but pray for riches in death Niggas under distress, niggas s'pposed to finesse, uh I'm on the moon, I cry balloons They black and blue tonight And if the homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back Homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back tonight I'm on the moon, I cry balloons They black and blue tonight And if the homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back Homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back tonight In the land before a lamb, monasteries and Narcan Casual white fans, who invented the voyeur? Fascinated with mourning, they hope the trauma destroy her Why everybody love a good sad song? A dark album, like Tell me that your homie dead, your mama dead Your brother bled along the street The corner where the Walgreens and White Castle is Ooh-wee, yeah we know that you miss him And if you sing about his sister, then we buyin' a ticket for real Front row, center, still gratitude, she love 'em But she can't tell if it's genuine or just consumption Analyze the gumption, monopolize the landscape She just another artist selling trauma to her fan base I'm on the moon, I cry balloons They black and blue tonight And if the homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back Homie in the back then tell him to hit me back tonight Baby, hit me back, where you at? We on a spaceship We waitin' under the dark moon Where you at and where you go? Supernova stars gon' take us home Baby, hit me back, where you at? We are on a spaceship We waitin' under the dark moon Where you at and where you go? Supernova stars gon' take us home Like Lazarus, I was dead for three whole nights Alakazam, I shook back like casino dice Satan call me magical negro, cool, you got that I popped on the world stage with my AK cocked back Saw the Roth' family in half to get my clout back In the heart of Knightsbridge, pullin' bunnies out top hats Everywhere I step foot, I leave a trail of names Of the sons of Jakub, in a trail of flames I'm on fire, I'm plugged in directly to Messiah I run with the mighty 'Khan as we expose the liars These infidels killed my mom, it's all-out war now I swear on the Mahdi to never put my sword down The crescent and the star, with the red in the foreground Is the flag that I bang as I'm layin' the law down Established a beachhead behind enemy lines now I'm Pink Floyd in Berlin, I'm tearin' the wall down Face to face, I bet nary a devil would test me And some fuck boy 85er come run up and press me It's all a hoax, quite simple, a joke like Zelenskyy The imams, the rabbis, and the pope incidentally Couldn't stop my boat, God from quoin' quotes from the senseis If anybody asks, tell 'em Farrakhan sent me It's the war of Armageddon, and I'm beggin' the listener If you ain't fightin' that mean you either dead or a prisoner I'm on the moon, I cry balloons They black and blue tonight And if the homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back Homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back tonight I'm on the moon, I cry balloons They black and blue tonight And if the homie in the back, then tell him to hit me back Homie in the back then tell him to hit me back
